THERE is at last some appearance of anima tion amongst the Societies for the promotion of Evening Entertainment. The Choral Society has worked itself to Coneurs pitch by dint of a rather prolonged effort of screwing up, and there are signs of an "A Night" amongst the Dramatists. Much as we may congratulate the one body on an achieved sudcore, and the ether on a success scarcely less certain than if it were already achieved, it can scarcely be said that either Society bas preparad itself for public performance with extraordinary rapidity. This remark is made
