Such being the case, it was extremely gratifying to find seteial distinguished members ofthat Association, includiug its noble President, testifying their eatimutioQ of their accommodation by their presence. The spacious theatre, capable of accommo-dating upwards of 1,200 persons with seat room,w »r crowded to excess before eight o’clock, numerous individuals being unable to obtain a seat throughout the evening.
