The costumes are everything which art can suggest, and the stage will be con- verted into magnificence hard to con- ceive, and the rich treat which will meet both .sight and ear will delight everyone present.

Messrs Stanbury, Wheeler, Rerr, Storey and others will delight and amuse all with their funny songs, sayings and jokes. The orchestra, under the able direction of Mr Holloway, will comprise the best talent in town. The first part will,we feel sure, meet with the satisfaction of the most fastidious present.
