The Ilogcrs Brothers, however, had licgun their present senson nt the l.vceara Theatre, Rochester, N. 1., on Ang. 2-I-2C., Usually it doe» not much matter In what country the Rogers Brothers linppen to be progiommed when they relam In ns every Septeiliber, as tbe broad fun of -Max and Gus long since tri- umphed over Ilm-.- and locality.
