PRETTY PATIENCE"
And Her Aesthetic Company Say Good
 Bye Tonight.

Pretty Patience" will bid goodbye to Birmingham tonight. The public regrets very much to see the fair smilkmaid and her aesthetic companions leave, as 1t is doubtful if any opera ever put on at Lake view has made such favorable impress sion as Patience" Miss Queen Miles in the title role has won her place in Birmingham as a songstress with beau- tiful voice, and also as a decidedly clever little actress. Her natural manner, taken in connection with her personal attrac- tions makes a decidedly clever ccnbina- ton.
 Last night was not favorable one for drawing a large crowd at the lake, as the rain late in the afternoon frightened many away. Nevertheless, quite a num- Der braved the weather and were fully rewarded for their trouble, as the per- formance was fiawless and there will no doubt be a large crowd to give the opera a rousing goodbye.
