Description New First Part. Exception might be taken to the tone of some of the selections rendered by the Vaudrey Sisters, and we throw out this hint,believing that the action upon it will be approved of by many. Julia Cleveland's two numbers were well received. All the Banvard's were on deck, and went through their business with dash, vigor, and finish. Little Sid Banvard sang I Ain't A-Going to Tell, and later mounted to the top cross-bar and dived into the net below. Mr Williams' melancholy voice and inimitable grotesqueries fairly coralled the audience.
