 The company Is keeping up the high standard that they have maintained all the season, and the work of the principals and chorus is splendid.

Her reputation in this city is an extremely enviable one, both on account of her attractive personality and her merit as a musician and an actress.
 Pnafore will be seen at Lakeview for the last time this season, tonight and tomor- TOW night
