Mr. Perry in auyilrirrg he attempts. lie

was repeatedly encored. last night. and .

in every presentation increased his;
popularity with his audience. He has
a voice of most pleasing quality and.
wide range in recitation titid song. llol
sang Mike Met'ariliy's‘ Wake and l
Don't Love Nobody. and was in iinei
voice. and later he recited The De-
bate, Sketch from Nature. and a num-
ber of short stories that were intense—
ly amusing to the audience. .

Edward ii. Munville was his act-oni-
panist. and favored the audience with
an excellent piano selection.

The lunch was certainly a feature
worthy of commendation. and receiv—
cd its full share of consideration. it
consisted of oysters arid little necks on
the half shell as preliminarioiis to a
feast upon shrimp and potato salads,
with suitable condiments of the most
reilslrahle character. .m'

The critorttiinrneut committee ”did
themselves proud” last night in every
feature of tire critt’trtalnmcut afforded.
airti in iioilrliig more so than in the cx- «
