The success Of the company is best ted
By the Victoria Province:
The house on Monday evening was
crowded. has never probably peen better
filled before. and although the Caihouns
are old friends and always welcome. IL
usual attractions were enormously en-
HANGED by the prospect OF seeing those
living pictures" about which SO much
had BEEN written ard so much said; rot
always by the way favorable 10 their
reputation But ON This occasion there
was no need TO call on Manager jamie
son 10 make good his ball. The defendant
appeared TO stand trial on the score OF

err II would be difficult 30 imagine.
sPysche's Mirror found special favor

from the yells and shouts Of applause re-
greet was experienced that the exposure

Another inrasation introduced by the
Caihouns. which might with advantage

exeeIiencs or parforanance-was a violin
solo BY Mr.. Paul Egry between the acts.
Mfr. Egry is a violinist OF exceptionally
good execution. with perfect command
over his instrument, and his playing was
delightful to listen TO, though how he, in
common with other equally gifted per-
formers, can find IT consistent with their
artistic dignity to descend to the level
of popular AIR with variations I must
confess myself at a loss TO understand

marketable. It Is not given to every one.

to carry the scores Of three operas in
his head. to play the piano with his left
hand and wave the baton with his right.
am more than half inclined to the opif,-
lon that Mr.. Zeplin would be equal to
supplying temporary vacancies in the
orchestra by performing on the cornet
with his mouth and beating the big bass
drum with his feet.
