Mr Horace Chester, vocalist and carica ture artist, appeared at the ,Opera House last evening in a performance' a la Macabe, and was favoured with a large audience. Mr Chester proved himself to be a fairly Stood singer, and his impersonations after the "lightning change" idea, were very creditable, especially in respect of his " make up." Mr Chester introduced to the audience a footman named John Thomas, who, in a rather wearisome way, makes known his position in relation to his master, Oliver Grumble, who in turn is impersonated by Mr Chostor, a white haired old gentleman of 71, who cannot speak above a whisper, full of boyish remi niscences, rheumatism, and gout. Next in order Mr Chester appears as " Our only tenor," a very long way after Sims Reeves, and then he appears in the garb _of Nurse Jones, an old lady of un certain age and exceedingly talkative. Nurso Jones having retired, Horatio Fitz poodle appears and creates a great deal of amusemenb with an impediment in his speech and a stuttering song, " Quite Cured." Each of the impersonations was accompanied by a descriptive song, and the first part of tho entertainment con cluded with a whistling song, "The Miller and the Maid," in which an encore was demanded and responded to. After the usual interval and a piano selection by Mrs Chester, Mr Chester introduced his " moustacheograph," in which, by a clever arrangement of light and shade, he pro duced a wonderful variety of moustaches, whiskers, etc. He also gave several clever instantaneous impersonations, including Bill Sykeß, a policeman, a judge, a jockey. General Gordon, Colonel Burnaby, Glad stone, the Mahdi, Churchill, aud Boacons fiold, and tho entertainmonb was brought to a close with the impersonation of a York shire youth who had enlisted, and a negro minstrel. Mr Chester will appear at the Opera Houso again this evening.
