carried on to- Manning ton, a;t which
all kinds OF offers were made BY the
manager OF the Grand opera House
to have an entertainment there and
not go to- Downs, but It seemed that:
the proper arranE ements could not be-
consumated and %no agreement could
be reached, and a part or the company
set sail for Dawns, walking: while the:
rest of the company including the
ladies Of the company waited and
came on the evening accommodation.
The show started late on account OF
the late arrival Of one Of the parties
connected with the play. 1t might be
well to add that an extra coach was
put on at Warrington for the accom-
mediation Of those from that city, who
wanted to see a clean. hrst-class show.
The house was packed with intel
ligent listeners. and some that were
not SO intelligent, yet they went to
make up that monstrous crowd.
Every one behaved well despite the
fact that the lack OF room OF the
stage prevented some OF the features
being carried out as fully as the might
otherwise have been. The show end

them are still coming from Downs to
Pennington, we don't know this to be
q fact. but merely refer to It for, the
sake SO F of being authentic. Some OF the
Dramatic Club walked back, some
stayed all night, while some went to
Huntington. so that they might get
a better start the following day. The

now. and about the middle of the
week will be called to see If they are
all here yet. and II not steps will be
