UNDER THE DOME -


The production of the New Eight Bells"
by the Brothers Byrne at Ferguson's theatre
last night was witnessed by a good sized
audience. In some respects the performance
was disappointment, especially the latter
part, which was cut for some unexplained
reason. The first and second acts, with its
profusion of mechanical scenery and the
agility of the humorous characters were as
successful as the several preceding presenta-
tions here. The Sisters COulson, excellent
dancers and equilibrists, introduced very
clever specialties in the third act.
