pectcd kcrmoisc took place at the Opera
House last night.
The theatre was literally packed, up
stairs and down. Almost every seat
was sold In advance, and the lobby OF
tho house was packed with people be-
fore the doors opened. As early rs 7
o'clock there were ladies waiting for
the houset to BIO opened.
Tho audience was rs enthusiastic as it
was large. Every number was applaud
cd, and the best were encorcd. Tho
opening tableau is an especially bcauti.
full thing, and worthy OF tho enthusiasm
1t aroused.
The gavotto which followed was arts.
tic and charming, and the kangaroo
dance by Mr.. W. B. Day was grotesquc
and funny thing, which brought down
the house. The court dance also de-.
served the flattering reception it re-
ceivcd, and the sailors hornpipe was
well executed and enjoyable.
Misses Fannie Wheat and Eliza Spci.
del, us last year, acquitted themselves
with the greatest credit. Their skirt
dance was ono OF the best things on the
programme. The Irish dance is good
Miss Hamilton's violin solo lent variety
to the programme and added much to
the enjoyment OF the audience.
The grand march was pronounced by
many OF the spectators the best they
had ever seen. Miss Atkinson's ca
chuca dance was surprisingly graceful,
and executed with neatness and pre-
csion that would have done credit to q
professional. Prof. Speedy and Mrs.
Hobbs followed with song and dance,
then came the maiden moon dance, the
Scotch dance, the always popular High
land fling by the two little ladies who
danced it last year, and tho American
dance was 4 fitting finale to most cred
table and enjoyable performance.
