given, participated IN by the leading
public men and influential citizens, and
the affair Melted $500.
Tt is hoped by the management to
make it not only profitable, but to add
to the enjoyment of the whole city.
The truth is that the ladies of the diff

give the public an amateur entertain
ment every two or three weeks. As q
rule they are far better and more el,-
joyable than the professionals who
