Show The Light! 'Went Out. His royal highness the Prince of Wales was present at a noble lord's once together to-gether with all fashionable London, and after dinner the best musicians, both vocal and instrumental, were preparing to display their talent, when suddenly out went the light, aud performers and audience were left in total darkness. As the light was electric and was supplied from a private engine which had chosen this inopportune moment to go completely com-pletely wrong, there was nothing for the giver of the feast to do but to collect all the available bedroom candlesticks and empty bottles and 6tick candles all over the place. The effect was most comical and seemed to cause amusement to everybody every-body but the host. San Francisco Argonaut. |
