Rider for the benefit of the Phoenix com pany, was a meet delightful en tertainment, and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The recital took place in the hall used for the fair. Capt. Rider is a de lightful speaker, with a charming delivery, and his handling of Lew VVallact’s great novel was exce - lent. The illustrations aiso were good and were much admired. The story of the chariot race, as might have been expected, was the climax of the recital, and was splendidly given.” Notice.
