The pieee de resvdance of the evening was the Gennan play, Singvogelchen, whieh was given by popilsof MissHasforth. The caste was as follows: NeMohen, Biumenhandlerin Ada R. Whitney Freulel, Gartnerbnreche. .W. B. Ciistle Jr. Lurd Miekelh; Glifton Trsry BoX. seiu Kammerdieuer W. H.lliee Ort dar M*ndlnng: Eiue flrosse Sudt. Dekoration; NeUehena BlamenGeschaft. The scene of the play is supposed to be somewhero in Ger i many. An Bnglish lord, faded, j wan aud unspeakably weary, as all properly made Engli.sh lords are supposed to be, is annoyed by the musical jiroj>ensities of u yonng gardener aml a tlower girl, | above whom he lodges. Ho sets his iutellect to work to stop their uoi.se, first with eoin, then with love, whieh some ono has told him makes its victims silent, aud fiually with jealousy. The Ust works. The yonthful gardeuer aud his beloved flower girl are visited bv jealousy, aud sqnirm iu silence. Tliis is the tragic climax of the play. Fortunately, remorse in the bosom of the lonl comes to the rescue of the agon- ' ized j>air. Uuderhis immaeulale shirtbosom this scion of an ancient honae feels what the Ger inauK eall “cousciencebites.” He sallies forth, rushes iutothe flower slioj>. and. as an uct of expiation, he j>nts the German ianguage to ten minutes of liugering torture, during whieh heeiplains by what wicked artifices he ha-* plan(ed the seetU of jealoosy iu their bosoms. The young eouple ealeh ou, and love spreads his wings over the re uuited pair. This is uot a profouud action, but it has what Aristotle requires for overy dramutic action, “a be glnniog. raiddle and end.” It is not without humorons opportnnities. whieh were iuiproved. All the partieipants acqnitted themaelves admirabiy nnd the j>erformanoe was corapleted witbout auy thing ocouring to m.«r it. Miss Ada Wbitney and W. R. Castle, Jr., the two songsters, were warmly receivod, while Clifton Tn»cy atul Wm. H Rice. as tbe leckadaisical K>rd aud lackadaisieal valet,earued a generous share | of approbation.
