English', will give a popular concert in which several famous soloists will render selections. There is no extra charge for this, be cause the Sells-Floto people have al ways maintained it as one of the noted features of their entertainment. Among the popular numbers will be a cornet duet by Messrs. White and Cooney, and the celebrated sextette from Lucia by Messrs. Werner, Dye, King, West, English and White.
