...experience of the past two years has shown the impossibility of conducting the Anderson School upon the plan originally intended. The Trustees find themselves at the end of the means at their disposal. To enable them to carry on the school, it is proposed to charge a fee of fifty dollars for the season, and they hope that a sufficient number of pupils can be secured to warrant them in going on.

Where all was so excellent, it is difficult to select any particular feature for praise. Mr. Wetmore's Sarnem was, in the line of the highest of tragedy, simply perfect. Mr. Hooper was most imposing as Gesler; and Mr. Dumaresq a most graceful young Tell. The bear performed with wonderful zoological accuracy, his conception of the part being most artistic.
