THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. 1t has been
decided to present the opera The Pirates OF
Penzance in this city in the near future for
the benefit of the Belfast Band and the Par
lor Musical Society, and joint committees
from the two associations have been APP
pointed to make the arrangements. The
best of local talent will be secured, and it is
safe to say that the success which attended
the presentation of Pinafore will be equaled
if not excelled. Some years ago the Parlor
Musical Society obtained the score and
books of the Pirates of PenZance, and if
those who have the books in their posses
ion will send or bring them to the store Of
Poor & Son it will obyiate the necessity of
sending for new ones The first rehearsal
