A comic opera in, two acts was put
on in the Opera House by the-God-

that a larger or more respectable au-
dience was never convened in the Op-
era House, which was packed to its
utmost capacity, Much had .been
heard .of this talented aggregation of
young people from the County .Town;
and the large audience that greeted
thiern was not iz -the least disappoint-
ed of what they expected. "The Lass
of Limerick Mown" is neither deep
