visited Tientsin last night and met with an enthusiastic reception. The growth of the port may' be gathered from the fact that the chorus alone reached the phenomenal number of 27, and has never been excelled in the history of the Settlement, either for precision of musical attack,' sustained ower of singing. graceful movement and rouping, and histrionic ability. Male outsin is half raving over the beauty of the lanes, and musical Tivntsin over the excellency vf the music and mounting, Mr. and Mrs, W. C. C. Anderson sustained the parts of Frederick and Mabel and were seconded by Mesdames: Southcott (Ruth), Mandl, Miss Startseff, Messrs. Ash, W. A. Morling, Dr. Blackwood and, C. R, Morling. Tientsin always responds enthusiastically to an amateur dramatic entertain-and never did so with better reason than on this occasion.
