direction of Prof. j. w. Schofield, at the
Opera House, Friday and Saturday even
ings was the best ever produced here. The
audience on both nights was large ana APP
preciative all being well pleased with the
performance. Quite number OF
Wheeling people were in attendance.
The different parts were well sustained.
Prof Schofield as King Ahasuerus and
Mrs Flora Williams as Queen Esther, are
too we'll known TO require any praise; their
ability speaks for itself. Mr.. Will B. Day,

Mann's MOrdecai was very fine, the part
being sustained in splendid style.
Mrs. Q. ". Kuckuck as the
Prophecies sang exceedingly sweet.
Mrs. Richard Stewart, as Mordecai's Sis
ter was made quite a favorite with the
audience in the early part of the evening,
bv her fine singing. Mr. William McMas-
tiers. as the High Priest, could hardly be
improved upon. The guards and pages
chorus, were all well rendered, while
the childrenS chorus was among
the best seatures eff the entertainment,
especially that of the littlo boys,
who sang splendidly and performed in their
marches and drills like clockwork. The
dancing and acting of Misses Bertha Nc
Aninch and Hattie Fowler, as the Queens
pages. created quite a sensation, being the
finest ever seen here in an amateur per-
formancc The costumes used were very
fine. in fact, everything was first-class and
