In the second part of the programme the specialities were by artists who were well up in their business, and that they were appreciated by the audience, was attested by the frequent applause. -The entertainment closed with the: laugha blo burlesque 'Clande DuvaL" in which tho en tiro company j appeared, and the pretty faces and rich and bril liant costumes of the ladies made a picture not often seen on our stagt. - i I " " " r i Board of Alderman.
