 That the Judgment of the critics was accepted was easily to be ssen, as the vast audience seemed to never tire of the fun-provoking Green and Peters, ths ex- essdingly charming vocalization. of Misses Durham and Westcott and the eccentric. speeihltiess of MT. Lawrence.
 That Gens1af Manager McClary, of the Birmingham Railway and Electric com pany, has won ttie everlasting esteem of the patrons of the East Lake line is d foregQne conclusions as he has secured for tn m compaiiy of artists who, encour- aged by the lavish greetings accorded, endeavored to give performance seldom equalled and never exc-lled in Birmbc g. ham. 4
 The same jolly company will be found nightly at the pavilion, and Manager Hoffman promises an added treat next week when Miss P@ters will join the com pany.
