ing, was success IN every way.
The music was treat to the large
audience, which took up the entire

baritone vocal solos, with piano ac-
compartment, were thoroughly en-
Joyed, ana loudly applouded.

the tour vocal selections, 20 Happy
Day. by Goethe; The Sea Gull, -
by Sipding; Bonnie Sweet Bessie, -
by Gilbert; and Two Grenadiers.

Quired that boxes shall be erected be-

tlcular one of the crossroads but they
must be erected within the confines Of
the road, and accessible, on any corner.

After boxes have been properly
