ENTERTAINMENTS.

i INGLE TOM’S CABIN. i The Princess Theatre was filled to the I doors last night for the Taylor-Uarring-i ton performance or Unde Torn’s Cabin. | Judging from the bursts of laughter ] from all parts of the house. Miss CarI rington in her role of Topsy ■ carried i away the laurels. There could not w ell I be a more amusing character staged, j Her daring dashes into the beyond of ] feminine language rnay have shocked | some relined ears, hut the audience Ire veiled in the fun she created, and I with all the absurdities of the little | "Nigger,” there was not the slightest ! display of objectionable immodesty. I Miss Carrington’s remarkable vivacity I ‘‘kept the ball rolling” through the | various scenes, but the very long waits | between them were extremely tedious. I This may be accounted for by the dupli--1 cate roles taken.
