The second night of the King Co

be the continuation of a grand good
time. The attendance was fully as
large as the opening night and one

in the line ever seen in Augusta. AT
times. the audience was spelibOund
and again broke forth in frantic ap-
plause at the marvellous features of
the performance.
For about an hour and half they
entertained thosa present with some
of the most artistic work imaginable,
adding fresh laurels to their already
long list Of successes. producing the
most artistic effects in few moments
time. Prof. Mcconnell was especially
enjoyed. proving one of the best of all
round performers. His Illustration or

Mount Eesuvius smoking in the back
ground. executed in corn meal. was
simply marvellous and excited much
admiration from the audience. The
exhibition in paper tearing, given by
both artists was marvel in itself,
clearly illustrating the fact that beauti-
full designs are the result of ability
more than the material used.
The wonder workers also showed
themselves finished products in the
musical lire, rendering many pleasing
instrumental duets. The Xylophone
and autoharp duet, in which a medley
of the latest familiar airs were given.
proved a very interesting number. The
"CowBeil' medley brought forth con-
siderable applause, but the feature
which struck the audience most favor
ably was the banjo Juggling by Prof.
Mcconnell. He placed his instrument
in every conceivable position. and yet
never for a moment checked his tune.
One IF the most difficult numbers was
a clog dancing ACT in which he not only
performed many difficult steps. but at
the same time played his own music
for the dance on the banjo.
Their work was thoroughly enjoyed,
many of the numbers being heartily
encOred, and the X. of p. deserves fa
