Tho long heraldod performance Of the
Linsly Ministries, composed Of tho stu.
dents OF tho Lipsly Institute and undor
the management OF tho class OF '95,
transpired At tho Arion hall last ovon.
ing. 1t proved to be the most pleasing
and successful local entertainment OF its
character ovcr given in tho city, and It
10 not bordering on iulsomo praise to
say that every performer marked for tho
appteciative plaudita Of tho large aud
fashionable audience present fully de-
served the commeudn,ion.
In the vocal line there wore many
surprises, several, young gentlemen Civ.

their voices. Tho choruses were 70
markably good and t%unetul, and thor.
ouGh aud patient training was to DO 70.
marked in every number rendered, owl.
IDENTIFY due to the pains.aking instruc-
tion and direction Of Prof. Raynes.

The orchestra, which was composed oil
amateur artists. was remarkably smooth
and even, although at times it vas
little too heavy for the youthful voices
it was leading. Mr.. Wheat's Down
at the Farm Yard Gate" was n perfect
gem. and he, OF course, had to repeat his
performance. Mr.. SHeenev's 81 Want
Yer Ma Honey" Mr.. MAYORS Before
and Alter Iaken," Mr.. Nor,h's THE
Girl / Love-" and THE Mighty Deep"
OF Mr.. Husemau met with the same
kindly reception. Tho Young men were
markedly selt-possessed under very
trying conditions. but not one OF them
faltered, their fresh, youthful voices
coming cut as clear rs bells. Another
remarkable and pleasantly surprising
feature was that the jokea and ''the no.
bic art..of repartec" were as fresh and
crisp as the breszes OF the early morn,
with 10 mean wit on the side. There
WAS not n conundrum that bore the
slightest suspiclon OF ancient lineage or
feudal ancestry.
The finale OF the first part, "a Dance
Tor a Cabbage" was q very laughable
breakdown shuttle that would no, have
done di,credit to professionals.
The second part OF the programme
was composed OF an exhibition drill BY
6. Caldwell, VI. o. Hart, F. r. HailocE,
a. Fair, II. Davies, j.. Speidel, j. T..

The entertainment was brought to a
conclusion with a farce in ono act en-
titled THE Doctors Shop" the several
roles being taken BY J. NJ. Collins, &.
!. Caldwell. W. c. Sweeney, A. A. Will
son. F. K Wheat and S. Frank, which
cent the audience home in all exceeding
ly p%leasant frame OF mind. Principal j.
VI. RiIch and his associates in the fac

gratuiate themselves on the good i'm.
preston tho students made las. evening.
