Statuaire Nivant Club.

The last entertainment for the sea son,
1888, OF Les Statuaire Vivant Concert Club,
whose beautiful productions have pleased
many will be given at Park-Place Meth
odst church on Friday night next for
the benefit OF the church. The club has
prepared an especially attractive pro-
gramme, and no doubt there Will be a
large audience present, as there are very
few combinations that have proven SO
attractive and given such universal salts
faction as this one. The object for which
the entertainment is given is very
worthy one, and it is hoped that they will
be we'll patroniZed.
