upon
and fork with au easy
grace only to be acquired by
long practice, and with a vigor
which Mrs. Faitington would
call simply famishing. Don
Santiago Merchant did the hea-
vy business for the troupe.
He was the dark and doubly
dyed villain ; the long lost un-
cle, etc., etc. If any one part
of the performance is deserving
of special mention it is in the
last act, when the Don, wrap-
ping himself in a two-by-six
ulster, feelingly murmurs, "bless
you, my children," and departs.
Yawkub Myer supplied the for-
eign element inIhe troupe.; Not
that they were in the habit of,
we will say, mixing the foreign
elemenfr—watei:—with^ the dis-
tilled juice of the corn, but sim-
ply in the sense of being a rep-
resentative of .the effete civilza-
tion of Europe. Mr. My el's
forte is smiling. In this lie is
simply immense. As usual,
Little Charley Ross was miss-
ing. This fact, and the unac-
countable absence of the great
Irish coimuediau, and double
back-action jewsharp player,
Mr. Brandy Brtinnon, left an
aching void which could not be
tilled. At a late hour the per-
formance concluded with the
ringing of the bell punches ac-
cording to programme. Iu this
the troupe is unapproacable,
and their performance should be
seen to appreciated.; The pro-
gramme was unique, and reflects
grnat credit on the taste and in-
genuity of the manager, Mr.
Howard Peak. On behalf of its
rea^ejrs the Echo extends to the
tron^a a cordial invitation to
come.', again—when they want
to.
