COMING ATTRACTIONS.
The Merry World Will 10 Seen Mt the
rockingham Tonight.

The leap that Canary & Lederer took
at the New York Casino during the
summer of 1894 in the presentation of
THE Passing Show" an entirely new
style of entertainment, having for it's
chief feature a burlesque reproduction
OF the principal current successes, en-
boldened them to enlarge upon the idea
this year, which they ambitiously ac-
complished at the same theater under
the apt title of THE Merry World,''
which will be seen at the rockingham
tonight. All accounts agree that THE
Merry World" is ever superior to 1.-The
Passing Show" in the treatment of top

sistency and connectedness in the pro-
gramme. The topics of The Merry

Tho Girl I Left Behind Me,
If it be true that the public are the
