on the part of the engineers who have
been so long idle.
One of the most pleasant watch

"About a year ago the Jfail had to say:
'Ezi a F. Kendall has certainly carried
off the honors this week," He was plav-
ing "A Pair of Kids" at the Grand then.
The indications of last night are that the
same can be said at the end of this week
of tho engagement at Hooley's. It is
one of the most amusing entertainments
now on the boards, and Kendall is loom
ing in the upper tier of comedians. It
is related on good authority that on two
different occasions recently when Mr.
Kendall was playing "A Pair of Kids,"
paitiisin the audience laughed them
selves into (its over the comical situation
presented. It is not difficult to believe
this. As a laugli producer Kendall is a
