captiva ting and brilliant of all the
operas Yet undertaken by our talented
young amateurs. The cast comprises
many Of our old fuvorites, with new

so that there are really two operas
given the same evening. The plot il
most amusing, and the music brilliant
and catchy. The object is one which
appeals to all who have the welfare OF

1t will be most fitting that our beau
