RIP VAN WINKLE.
To-morrow evening at the Theatre lioyal Ilia bcnciit pcrtorniaiu'i; given by Mi' Taylor and Miss (.'arriugtoii, in' niil of the Tteerentioii Sports iirouud' and Western Pail;, wi.l consist of a realistic production of .the world-famous nlav, "Kip Van Winkle." Iliji is Mr Charlie Taylor's favorite star impersonation. A Meiboimme paper states: "When the Theatre Koyal management announced Hint the favorite actor and comedian, Mr Charles Taylor, was about to appear in the part of Kip Van Winkle, many oldplaygoers who remembered the great Joseph Jeitereson's inimitable impersonation prophesied failure. But difficult as th« task was Mr Taylor came through tile ordeal triumphantly, amid the plaudits of a most enthusiastic audience. Ho was equally at homo in both (he comic and pathetic phases of the character and his mastery of the Dutch' dialect was worthy of the great Jefferson himself. Hip Van Winkle will form a valuable addition to Mr Taylor'* large repertoire of star impersonations."
