quite creditably, and one of the ladies
broke all stage records by saving

ing and well connected, with the usu-
al quantity of love making and rather
more than the customary assortment of
villains, who of course are overtaken
by Nemesis and violently brought to
naught in the last act, to the intense
satisfaction Of the galleries. A new
and exciting feature invented by the
management was the rattle of a clock
