BOSTON MUSIC HALL.
When Mrs. Partington first visited the new Music
Hall, she looked at the structure with great admiration.
It was in the day-time, and the gas burners over the
edge of the cornice met her eye. Turning to Mrs. Battlegash,
who sat next to her, she remarked that everything
seemed excellent “except the out-of-the-way place
where they driv the nails for the ostriches to hang their
coats on,” and pointed to the ceiling, saying she did n't
believe they could ever reach them.
