i i Z-'- ' .j Opera Howcv
: Ibj far the best performance of the
season was given at the Opera, House
last night by D'Oyly Carte's London
OperaCompany in the new melodramat
ic opera, entitled the "Pirates of Pen
zance." The troupe is composed of some
thirty artists who are all well-drilled and
experienced in their different parts,
which causes, the entire performance to
pass off "with the utmost harmony in
ery word and action. The aasic, both
vocal and instrumental, was good, and
the voices of the leading characters far
above the ordinary average of traveling
companies. Miss Minnie Walsh, as Mabel
the youngest daughter of Major-General
Stanley, of the British army, was sweet '
and charming, and her delightful voice,
which she controlled with wonderful
effect "received "more ' than one en
core from the admiring audience.
Sig. Brocblini, as tha'Pirate Chief, both i
acted and sang well. His fine deep
bass- was especially admired. Mr. J.
Donovan, as Frederic, a pirate appren
tice, exhibited fine vocal powers, his
sweet "tenor elictixsg much applause.
Madam , Motte, as Bath, a piratical
raaid of allirork, sang well and acted her
parrebmpletely." Mr. J. W. Eyley, as
Major-General Stanley, saig 'delightful
ly.. In fact the company is a very fine
one indeed, and the large audience in at
tendance were all highly delighted and
pleased at the entire performance.
The orchestra," we " negfected to say,
famed no small part of the evening's
entertainment and the music which they
furnished was enjoyed and appreciated
by alf present as something unusnaily
fine. k - . ; , ".,.....-" - : :-

Thus It appears that the six terras
per annum of the Criminal Court and
two terms 6f the Saperior Court in 1880
cost less than the Superior Court cost in
1876, according, to the records, which
are accessible at all times to all tax-pay

Board of Commissioners pleasure to see
the citizens apply for information before
forming an opinion on any proposed
measure affecting the interest .ot the
