Personally I believe that two thirds, if not thice quarters, must have been left over. The object of the fancy fair is a most lahdable one, to get money for the poor orphans, a work universally approved and extremely useful and will pery reformed in this case; but the times are bad, very ased to most patronise these affairs and give bad, and many of those who in wears gone by generously, now almost need a charity basaar for their own benefit.

The general Impression created by the Theatre last night by the Stanley Awfnix was resentation of "Dorothy" at the City Hall one of exceedingly pleasant surprise, and not a little wonder that when they can play rach z charming opera so admirably, they should have opened their season here with dull, hideous thing like "The Nantch Girl," made the more melancholy, by clumsy sendertugs For last night's performance was without a doubt the thra stoned for the miserable show of the first night, and ensured for the company what seemed to be seriously imperilled an enthusiastierecep- tion, fit to be accorded to the best operalle company ever seen in this Colony. The only pity was that there were at least a dozen seats. unoccupied in the auditorium which was not the case on Thursday night.
