$ POPULAR KNTI.UTAINMKNTS. TO THK ICPITOII OV THU STAII, Bin, — I have attonded tho wholo of tho entertainments at tho Town Hall, ami lutvo been much gratified thweby. I think the commlttco deserve the ihanka of the citizen-, for tho energy and troublo thoy havo takon In tho general arrangement of ihono meetings. Hut tho alteration iv the platform Is a mistake, in the first place, the ponltion, being oloko to tho wall, is bud for singing, mid the platform ls too small. Many of tho Dingers lint night had, as I heard one of them express himself, to " mlko about" In tho old Town Hull during tho evening until thoir turn came, when thoy had to forco a way through tho crowd. Considering their services nro given bo froely, tho leant the com* in It toe could do In return would bo to scat thorn comfortably. The outortalnment last night was ns groat a success ns tho othors, Thero were a few Interruptions, but in most cases thoy wore canned by somo of tho members of a band known as tho " Fortieth," whioh, by tho way, tbo police would do woll to keep their oyo on, Wishing every success to theso most valuablo ontortatnmontfl, 1 trust nothing in reason will bo left undono to make thorn truly popular entertainment!), Your obedient sorvant, ONK OF THIO TIIUBBL'BNNY MTB.
