The saving of thou sands of tons of transport, by rail, river and sea is enriching the cultivators and bringing settlement and content.

Room, City Hall, last evening. When in the Colony a few months ago these talent cd young ladies danced and săng at numerous small social gatherings, and everywhere they appeared they created a most favourable impression. It was not surprising, therefore that their friends assembled in good numbers to bid them qu revoir and wish then success on the remaining part of their tour in the Far East. There is nothing dull or etalo about their entertainments. Some of the latest Broadway “hits" which they sing are stupid little verses but that counts for nothing. The way they are rendered rouses the audience to en thusiasm. The artistes have to rely solely upon their own powers of entertaining- there is no one to help them and the long programme must mean a consider- able tax upon their strength, but no sign of physical exhaustion is ever allowed to make itself apparent, Encores are de manded and are always freely given, and the dancers seem to enjoy every moment as thoroughly as those who have simply. to watch and applaud. This is perhaps, the great secret of their success. They enter whole-heartedly into the spirit of a jolly evening and as a Broadway eritic would say they carry things through with a bang.
