ENTERTAINMENTS.

THE FINK DANDIES, The second entertainment given by tiro Pink Dandies at the tiood Templar Ilall. last evening, was much appreciated by the large audience. Encores were numerous, the many varied items showing the versatility of the -performer.;. Each number was A 1 in grade, the whimsicalities of Mr. Joseph Brennan convulsing his patrons. 'Mr. Ford Waltliam was again successful in his items. The ladies of the company were in happy mood, and proved that the hearty appreciation of their items on the opening night was thoroughly justified. Miss Ida Newton was most amusing in lier topical items, whilst Miss Lily Fitzgerald delighted all present with her artistic rendering of several songs,' including "Batter-cup Time." The third lady, Miss Rita Fitzgerald, was also prominent in several sketchy items tiiat greatly pleased the audience. An item that was very popular, "Plantation Melodies," introduced several old but ever-welcome airs, reminiscent of the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The Pin ; k Dandies are a very happy party, ajid their ability to dispel the "dumps" and create a bright and cheery atmosphere was,proved by the loud and continuous merriment or applause succeeding each item.
