Boxing, tennis, bowling, athletic and other displays are announced. The theatre will hold an audience of over 800 persons, and has already been leased to English entertainers. The art gallery contains a fine collection of pictures. There will be music on the opening day by a strong mule choir, Mr. Robert Parker directing.
