Sunbeam Choristers.

The party ot rescued and orphan children, accompanied by their officers, Adjutant Boi and Lieutenant Gilbert, who appearad a% the Salvation Army Barracks yosterday, met with a moat enthusiastic and flattering reception. So great was the crowd who sought admission last night that the building wng not large enough, although every available seat about the place wa's brought into requisition. The children sing moat sweetly, and their character and demeanour is an objoct leßson to Rvervbody. Their rendering of " I have my Bedeemer seen," was most entrane ing, and in order to satisfy the demands of the enthusiastic audience had to be repeated three times during the day. Liout. Gilbert possesses a fine contralto voice and j her bolo "Dream of tho Judgment" whs most impressive. The Choristers appear for tho last time to-night when a programme of new and imereoting items will be given. It is fully anticipated there will be a packed house at the Barracks to-night, when all those desirous of hearing this interesting company should get along early to secure a seat.
