GAIETY.
The Attractions Which We're Presented
Last Evening-Talented Participants.
Notes and Incidents.

Although large number OF the mas
queraders at the authors carnival were
unable to don their disguises for the
matinee, those who could do so turned
out, and carried out short programme
in first-class style. Among other fea-
lures which were especially well received
was a fancy dance by little Miss Eloise
Larsen, tiny blonde OF seven, who cap
tivated the spectators by the grace Of
her movements.
In the evening, after the preliminary
review and march, the first tableau
presented was that of Undine Ris-
ing from the Sea, a remarkably
pretty scene, which evoked rounds Of
well deserved applause, and had to be
repeated. The Three Little Kittens, as
presented by the Misses Baldwin, three
little tots in white fur, was remark
able performance, and the juvenile trio
was rapturously encored at the close OF
their song. The next tableau, that of the
Sleeping Beauty, in which Mrs. Langtri
and Mr.. Blake were the igurantes, also
received an encore. Then came the
Mother Goose quadrilles, of five figures,
by the Misses Hoist, Ellis, Hampton,
Bradshaw and Messrs. Hagan, Hanson,
Pepper and Follansbee.
The Dickens characters formed a gro up
on the stage and sang Auld Lang Syne,
Mrs. farley, in a wonderful bonnet, oc-
cupying conspicuous position in the
foreground. A fancy Spanish dance,
with castanet accompaniment, by
charming juvenile danseuse, was follow
ed by the Mother Goose lullaby, which
was admirably sung by Mics Kate Kim
ball. The rest of the programme, which
was equally enjoyable, was as follows:
