LAST NIGHTS ADJUSTMENTS.
The large audience was delighted
with the musical and special features
last night, and many numbers were
cheered. The Scotch were finely rep
resented in last nights program, nearly
the entire program being devoted to
songs of Scotland.
The cornet solo by Miss Franklin was
rendered in a thoroughly artistic man
ner. Her playing of Answer was re-
ceiyed with much applause.
The sword dances, Reel o. Tulloch
and singing by Professor Findlays Nc
Gregor were very popular, though the
auditorium is large and trying on any
voice.
Mr.. McGregor possesses a marvellous
voice, which is thoroughly cultivated,
and his correct pronunciation of the
broad Scotch words was the subject of
general remark among the audience.
He is host in himself and capable of
/. delighting an audience for any length
of time. As a singer of Scotch songs
he is decidedly a. success. AS a mimic
he is a success, and his artistic skill is
of high order.
