to have maintained and encouraged,
and it having freely given services on
former like occasions, the company
felt that portion of the proceeds
might very properly be devoted to re-

were wholly surprised by the presenta-
tion, and accepted it only as public
expression Of good will and apprecia-

were given aid from the remaining
proceeds, by orders on the various
stores and meat markets of the city.
The time and labor required in the as

their services in preparing and giving
the entertainment, the company de-
serves great credit.
