MUSIC IN THE AIR.
The LyceUm Lady Quartette Of
Chicago gave US one of the best
entertainments ever heard in this
place on Wednesday evening. The
attendance was only fair and the
order was bad. In fact, one singer
nearly broke down on account Of
the discourtsy of certain boys and
girls in the house, who whispered
and giggled and otherwise disturbed
singers and audience. Such con-
duct ought to be stopped, even tho
the miscreants be elected from the
house. Also. ushers ought to be
instructed to refrain from seating
people until musical number is
finished. A number will go from
here TO North Andover TO hear the
Chicago Concert Trio on Thursday
evening.
