There was not. wc aro sorry to say a large audience at the Opera House last night, but those who were present had lots of fun in witnessing the per formance of the above side-splitting farce. The play was designed simply to make fun and laughter and as such tho authors achieved success, and the management were no less fortunate In the selection of a company in every way suited to iu proper performance. Miss Flora Moore, the leading lady, is a most superb soubrette actress and carried her part with a vim and spirit which made the honse ring with up roarious laughter. Her support was all that could be desired, and Mr. W. C. Crosbil. as Littleton Snaggs. was excellent and did his full share in keep ing the house conVulsed with ' laughter. The singing was very "fine and the dancing was good. If there is any merit in good, healthy, innocent funjlhe Bunch ol Keys" Company deserve unlimited patronage. We hope they will visit our city again, when we leel confident that they will have a good house. A Frightful Collision. New York. The valuable trotting horse.
