Local liverymen have been taxed to their wit's end , to meet calls for sleighs and cutters this evening. Slelghbclls tinkled last evening, but those who took the tnltluttve and In troduced the latest fashion, affirm that the service at hand was at fault.

Victor Herbert and Glen MacDon ough's musical extravaganza, "Babes In Toyland," which Is being presented at the Grand Opera house this week, last night proved that It has lost none of Its entertaining features.
