The first pa, t of th* prisrra ii'ii'j foiiclule 1 witli a "Stump Speech," by Mr Smith, a youthful candidate for burnt cork fame. What then* wan of the «tump speech was very g'K»d, but there was so little of it, and the audience would have been deprived of that littl" if thrtre had only been a nail in the wall to hold the lecturer's hat. An interval of ten minutes followed, after which Mr Bat ford sang a local song which was wt.ll received. Miss Austin, who has a very tweet, though as yet rather weak v lice, !W«i» " Home," v«?ry sweetly. Sergeant Austin, one of the cadets, in uniform gave '* The Charge of the Light BriapdV and did it very well indeud. Sergeant M 'Do well, another cadet, re cited a humorous parody on the " Charge of the Light Brigade," and did it really cleverly, notwithstanding that he made it a very solemn piece of business. This young man possesses considerable talent for recitations which he would do well to cultivate. Mr Nash sang " When Thou Art Near," very correctly, and was fol lowed by Mr Lynch, who gave " The Out post," with the effectiveness and precision which distinguish all his musical efforts. The closing item of the concert was a cornet solo by Mr J. Richardfl, which was /iven in a very :nasterly manner. We do not remember to have ever heard Mr Richards in his many admirable perfor utances to better advantage. An interval ff » few minutes followed, after which ',

he curtain rose to the amusing little >lay of " Who is Who ?or All in a Fog." • Phe piece has never been a popular , >ne with " Knights of the 8(»ck and j t>uskin," despite the fact that it is f written by a playwright of distinction— c Robertson. It does not possess sufficient t ' icting for a presentable comediette, nor sufficient humor for a good farce. How ever, the ladies and gentlemen who took part in it may be fairly complemented upon their efforts to mako it a success. The performers were well up in their parts and the dialogue was sustained throughout without a single hitch. Mr Cooper as Swanbopper (a model young bachelor), performed his part very well.
