enconiums of praise with which their
coming was heralded. The pavilion last

made an excellent interpreter OF mascu-
inc character, and the fair Miss Rosa

skirt dancing by Misses Rosalini and
Lucy was an enhancing treat to the au-
dience. as was also the Irish jig and the
Highland sword dance by the same Two

in connection with the patriotic scene
with which the entertainment closed.
An air Of refinement prevailed the whole

A business may be Il business with

I will admit that the advertisement
