Often bach's one act drama, THE Rose of

gave the play a leading place IL their
dramatic review, the World, which had
before slated it, sending down it's artist to
the theatre and illustrating various scenes
and characters in the play. Mr. Royle
writes home that it is uncertain whether
or not the run will be prolonged beyond
three weeks. Hill, manager of the Stand

Nearly twice the mum Der of soloists that
appeared at last years contest have
already enlisted for the coming competl-
tition, June and 6. Several bands have
also entered, but the vocal numbers fad
the heartiest responses as yet. The bass
solo, 1.-THE Storm Fiend," will have at
least-a dozen able contestants, while all the
rest up TO the first prize chorus have from
two upwards already entered. The time
for entering will be to Saturday, May %,
when the full list will be published and no
more allowed to come in. From present
appearances some band will have an easy

Rhea's engagement 6linked out very

only light but were extremely bored Who

ignorance of our language. In the origina
French it may have been a fashionable
and chatty trihe, pleasing to people o
such mercurial dispositions, but on TIL
side of the water it will be summed up ant
thoroughly described in the one word
