of thAr parents, who say they did not

The Strollers.-This afternoon 1.-THE Stroll
lers, a dramatic organization of New
1ork amateurs, gave a performance at
the Grand Opera House for the benefit Of
the Emergency Hospital. This company Is
not unknown here, for it has given per-
tormanceS in this city before and with de-
c1ded success. The club was originally
formed of students in Columbia College,
who, pleased with their success. continued
able performances have been given, nearly
all of which have been in behalf of char
ity. The play given this afternoon Is THE
Mother-in-Law," which has never been seen
in this city but during an engagement at
what was then Ford's Opera House, in 1881.

situations, and afforded the members of the
cast an opportunity to do some excellent
work. A charming comedietta, entitled
Raspberry Shrub &c.," preceded the play.
Next Monday night the club will repeat the
comedietta and will give the comedy Of 1.-The
