(If course being a polil.cian tho limelight did not disturb Mr. Harden, but this is leap year, he has been a' long time a bachelor, and some people are inclined to look upon the incident as prophetic.

Buster's mischief is as infectious as ever, and there is no change in the domineering mother in law. Edward. Lamar, as Tige, could not be improved upon, lie was the Tige of the cartoons exactly, and he acted just as that wise canine mi glit be expected to do. The Bobby Burns chorus was another of the numbers that aroused the audience to enthusiasm. The costumes were pretty, the military drill well done ami the singing inspiriting.

Mr. liilinore was never more delighted with a part than with this of Hartley, itlias Horace Sinclair. The play wines to the Vancouver on Thursday.

1.VU1C TUKATIvli. Mr Ceo. Howard ami his well supported company played to a most pleasing audience at the Lyric theater last night. The play, entitled "Jim the Westerner," is, in my mind, one of the best dramas that I had the pleasure of seeing in Vancouver. Mr.

Howard certainly has a stock company that he may well be proud of and each individual in the company are so well selected for their respective parts that success seeuis always assured. Judging from the applause and the excitement during the third act. of the play the audience eu cored the Company out, and they were given a huge clap of the hands. This play continues all this week, with the usual matinee this afternoon anil Saturday. Next week "Charley's Aunt THU OUP11KIM.
