it present music lovers are suffering sment of riches in the shape and opera comique, and the nd Sullivan is again in the as- cendant. Last week two successful performances of “The Virates of Penzan nat the udemy of Music, for the benefit of the Police Pension Fund, while ‘¢ Patience” was being done in the best manner at the Casino. | This week the McCaull Opera Comique company are giving ‘* The Pirates,” and to night the Boston Ideals are to sing “ Pina- W th Avenue. Then we have sparone at the Standard, Vanoni in F. W. Williams and Robert Stoepel’s new opere:ta * Pierette,” at Koster and Bial’s, to say nothing of the Sunday evening concerts at the Casino and the Bijou. rleton. too, is not far off, having closed his short season at Leavitt and Pastor’s Third Avenue Theatre on Saturday last, and the last notes of ** Nanon” and * Gasparone” in German, at the Thalia, have scarcely faded from our ears. ‘The Florences have closed a most success- ful engagement at the Star, and now Mr. Irving and Miss Terry have commenced their farewell engagement here, and opened on Monday in W. G. Will’s poetic drama” Pra ene Aram,” which did not meet with jar approval in Boston. Last Wednesday Mr. Daly produced his new comedy, adapted from the German, called ‘*A Night Off,” or ‘*A Page from Balzac,” and Harrigan and Hart opened a week ago at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. On March 19th the two hundredth per- formance of ‘* Adonis” will take placo at The Bijou, This piece will run till the end of the season, which is not far distant, It is said that a certain gentleman, who has been connected in a business way with the Rice and Dixey Company, and who is Rich by name, as well as in pocket, contem- plates building a theatre in Boston, which he will run in connection with the Bijou here, alternating attractions between the two places, ‘This sort of business has been going on for some time between the Casino here and the Boston Bijou. The Gilbert and Sullivan operas were being sung there, while “ Apa- june” was in progress at the Casino. Now we have Gilbert and Sullivan, while the Hub- ites are listening to ‘‘Apajune.” If Mr. Rich will only name his new Boston theatre the Casino, the confasion will be complete. Speaking of new theatres puts us in mind of the Lyceum, which ia still slightly incom- plete, but we are assured it is beautiful even in its imcompleteness, moreover it is given out that the Lyceum will certainly be open by Easter, and that Mr. Mackaye’s new play —the title of which he ought to have patented —will then be produced. As if there were not already too many thea- tres in New York. The building of a new THE JUDGE. one, for Lawrence Barrett, is now looked up- on as almost an accomplished fact. Before another fall we trust that a few of the roller skating rinks will be ‘* To Let.” Now that ‘The International Tourna- ment” is over at the Madison Square Garden, we have the circus to look forward to, and by the time that is over, one by one the theatres will begin to close their doors for the season. Clara Morris will begin a spring engage- ment at Daly’s, and Minnie Palmer will, ere long, appear at the Union Square. It is said that Solomon’s opera, ‘‘ Polly,” will be produced at the Casino on May 2nd, and if that be so, of course Lilian Russell will be the diva of the occasion. Mr. Rudolf Aronson has engaged W. T. Carleton to appear in ‘‘Nanon” at the Casino in June, and a newly organized English opera company will follow Dixey at the Bijou. Then if Col. McCaull brings his forces to Wallack’s we shall have quite opera enough— probably a little too much of it for some of the man Thatcher, Primrose and West have de- parted from Niblo’s, and ‘‘ The Shadows of a Great City” was elaborately produced here on | Monday. The perennial ‘‘ Hazel Kirke” ‘* bobs up serenely” at the People’s Theatre this week, and atthe Grand Opera House Fanny Daven- port is acting in “ Fedora.” Herr Sonnenthal has commenced an en- gagement at the Thalia, and crowds attend daily the Eden Musee in Twenty-third street A few Sundays ago aix thousand people were in attendance at this popular resort. The engagement of at B. Curtis at the Fifth Avenue was a disastrous failure. His new play, “Spot Cash,” did not attract money euough in three weeks to pay the gas bills, Lavonante Loaic. *« Twonder what makes my children ery s0 Tause you are alieays licking em.” “But Uey ery when they ain't getting Jonns—* Well, then, they are erying for it. of habit, don't you sce?” le ade Force A little buggy—his head, perhans, Deacon HarpsHELt, whose religious panel les are of the modern liberal type, eartily despises the voter who is influenced by the candidate’s Protestantism, or Roman- ism, or heathenism. ‘‘ For my part,” says the Deacon, ‘‘ when I find that a man has the right staff in him, I'll vote for him and not care a mess of beans what churches he belongs to, provided he’s a sound Baptist.” NTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE.

Dvurino our late stay in the country (where we were advised to retire on account of the precarious state of our weulth) we had an opportunity of learning something about that interesting species of quadruped popularly Known as A Remarkable Dog. (Che exact botanic name hus escaped our memory, and we cannot wait till itis recaptured). When a reliable gentleman like ourself comes across a remarkable dog, that gentleman would feel as though he owed a bad debt to science if he failed to pen-and-ink sketch him. Hence expects to see the following account much leaned against by the accomplished scientist while engaged in the laborious but healthful occupation of proving that the infant man, if taken in hand when the faculties are still warm and plastic, can be encouraged to grow =p onto the higher plane which is the habitat of the remarkable dog, and his bark and his family, The present proprietor of the dog is my comicbooks.com
