A SOUTHERN MUSICAL CLUB.
The "Jonnie" Juniors of Washing
ton Mny visit Richmond shortly.

Washington. ID. c.. has been noted for
several years for It's remarkably success
full amateur opera companies, and II is
a gratifying pleasure to the southern
people TO know that a new mask and wig
club. the "Jonnie Juniors" has eclipsed
all performances OF the kind heretofore
given. In the opera "Aiikado" these south
ern boys, encouraged by the presence Of
Mrs. Cleveland, scores Of ladies' promi-
nent in Cabinet. Senate, and congress
sional circles, the ex-Queen OF Hawaii,
and many other distin guished personages,
fairly outdid themselves. with the result
that plans are being laid TO repeat the
performance TO meet the popular demand.
One OF the original intentions of the
club. If successful. was a trip to Nash
VILE at the time Of the Confederate re-
union, stopping at Richmond, and per-
forming en- route. So many requests from
friends Of the club here have been for
warded TO the officers Of the "Jonnies"
that there Is every prospect Of a trip TO
Rchmoyd in March A committee of
four or five of the young men will meet
with some OF the lady patronesses the
latter part Of this week, and finish the
plans already started.
There is no opera that gives better
opportunities for a laugh of this kind
than "Mikado." and to see boys imper
senate the three little maids under any
circumstances is funny, but carried out
as the three little "Jonnies" did, singing
every note and acting out every idea, is
simply surprising
Should the plans not miscarry. the club
will come down in a special train, ac-
cOmpanied By many Of its distinguished
Washington patrOnesses.
