scenery, which. with equal accuracy repre-
sents the Siamese localities In which the
scenes OF the opera are laid. OF the opera
itself lovers of wit, merriment and music
need be told nothing. In the music and
nbretto there have been no changes. 1t is

The Mikado.-Tonight the performance ~
The Mikado" by the Mask and Wig Club

GUS requests made on them to announce its
repetition, and tonight those who did
not have an opportunity to witness the ex-
cellent work of the Washington amateurs
who compose the club at that time will I'M
doubtedly fill the hall. The college bows

presented their burlesQues have had many
years of experience, and then, too in their
plays they can select such music as is best
adapted to their capabilities. But this To-
cal organization starts out with a regular
