Show The Exhibition. One of the largest audicners we remember to bavo seen in the theatre was crowded into the house on Monday Mon-day evening to witness the exhibition given by the pupils of St. Mark's school-. Every available space in the lower circles was occupied, and by the belter classes of tho community. Of the performance, tho managers, tnt I1'" children an:! yco:sg ladit and gentlemen who took part we cannot speak too much praise, as they arranged and gave an entertainment entertain-ment which was a genuine treat, even to professionals. The first part w.i" indeed grand a concert by 2-50 cl . iren, ranging in age from five to fifteen years; some of ihe little vocalists vocal-ists were not much larger than an ordinary grasshopper, yet uuder the direction of Mrs. Hiydon, who presided pre-sided at the piano, not a mistake occurred, oc-curred, the tiny "singing birds" exhibiting ex-hibiting a degree of vocal training which was pleasantly surprising. Parts second, third and fourth consisted con-sisted respectively of the "Queen of tho May," in four tableaux; the happy little fairy drama, "The Sleeping Beauty," the characters being beautifully beau-tifully represented by thirteen misses of the girls' school, besides innumerable innumer-able and pretty little courtiers, fairies and attendants; and the excruciut-ingly excruciut-ingly funny farce of " Mr. John Smith," in which the young ladies and gentlemen gave evidence of very thorough training, aud some of them showed that they were endowed with considerable dramatic talent. As everyoue doircd that it would be the exhibition was a complete success, suc-cess, financially and otherwise. |
