and evolution exercises In the latter the
whole company participated, 1t is truly re-
markable with what precision the children OF
the cast do their part. The sailors hornpipe
danced by the little four year old tot, Daniel
Webster, was truly wonderful, and the unan-
imous encore he received was fully de-
served. The dual dancing of the twin sisters

too. were encored and cheertully responded,
The dancing of Misses Chandler and
Franz received a very fattering encore The
singing and acting by Mr.. Cumpson, who
