and gave unmixed satisfaction and delight, from which the bitter cold night and the rather chilly theatre could not detract. The representation of Cinderella and the actors who took part, will never be forgotten, and will ever be associated in the minds of the residents with the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. O'Conor. With all sincerity and truth it can be said that there never has been such a spectacular display, especially appropriate to Peking with so many differ-cut nationalities and suiting and being understood and appreciated by all, both old and young. We are indebted solely to Mrs. O'Conor for the initiation and execution of this wonderful pantomime, ably assisted as she was by Mrs. Oliver, Madame Pansa, Mrs. Beauclerk and Miss Elsie, Chavannes, and Barons von Sternberg and der Goltz. Such a representation in pantomime had never been previously attempted in Peking.. The unexampled success of the piece must be very gratifying to Mrs, O'Conor, as it certainly was to the large audience assembled to witness it. Sir Robert's band was in attendance, and played suitable music during the scenes.
