McPae Faison, and Wm. Towe, Jr., performed beautifully, bringing out a good deal of original repartee and local jokes. The singing was verv eood indeed, practically all of the artists receiving handsome encores, Mr. J. M. Jackson re- ceiving two enthusiastic en- cores over his number, Norinsky and Goldman in a "little queer talk" got off a good deal of original humor, and the singing of the quartette composed of Messrs.
