This beautiful opera which has

that this viii. even exceed the Prin-
cess Bonnie.
The public will remember that sthis
is given solely for the benefit OF the
City Baud. Those in the caste are all
from among the busy young people
OF the town who have made no little
sacrifice in time and labor, they ask
no compensation excepting a liberal
patronage in the interest of the band
which gets all the proceeds.
The basd asks 40 direct contribu-
tlons from our people and received
but little encouragement from the
public. 1t is emineutly proper that
there should be response to this
call. The entertainment will be better
than the average professional troups
that come this way aud that charge
even higher prices. The seats are now
on sale and the best seats for the first
night are rapidly going.
