In place of ‘doing eo, we shall merely sum up the main attractions that the variety thentres offor. Mr. Stetson has con- siderable proetige, and, beiug o visitor, do- sorves tho first moution, Tully prepared for a sovore contest, Mr. Stet- #om bronght with him the best company hecould oudect. Tn doing this ho paid Chicago a desorvod compliment, and the result will Le profitable, His outertainment is a very strong oao, and in the varlety and general excellonco of its foatutes doeerves the hiearty patronage of a disintorested public. His company is very largo aud vory good —-o Inrge and so good that he ia compolled to allow but two encores of his best features. With & poor show, this would appear egotistical. But bie sbow is not poor, and the rogulntion ia needed, Any manager who includes anong his varioty porformers Maflit and Bartholomoy, bas an attraction of grest strength. The farce *‘Smiths and Browns" i caleulated fo impress ad audience very favorably with the humorous ability of these two well-kuown pantomimists, Tho farco is Vory laughable, and heartily enjoyable. Tha Oshkosh Buand, componed of Messrs, Schoolcraft (nn old Chicago favorite), MoAndrews, and Tiiokey Ie a capital act and dosorves the Lighest proino. Austin and Hess, the champion sknters, ate protty well-known by reputation at any rate, and their performance is extremely interesting and ekiliful. Tho name of Gus Williams is not a8 woll knowwv(n tho West as in Hoston aud New York. Mr. Willlams, however, in ono of the very best Ethiopian comedians in tho country, Ilis act vory funny, and is eucored to the full oxtent. If Blr.

Barnoy, Rickey, and Ryan are spplauded libevally, = Miseos Adah Richmond and Lu Lu Delmay are thoroughly appreciatod. ‘The former in a strangor to Chi cago; the latter made a hit at the Adelphi, and is warmly remembered by bor admirers, The Nelson family of acrobats give an wonderful an acrobatic performance #s any living mortal can dosire to ses, Thoeir act is unique in its daring, and the micity of skl required to perform momo of the feats, 'he boys are a8 romarkablo as their fathor, and that is saying s pgood desl for them. The double someranulte whioh they perform, alighting with marvelous acouracy upon the ol dor Nalson's feet, are as wondorful for skill on their part ax for strongth and endurance on his, and tha tbree together constitute n wonderful toam of porformers. The concluding act, **The Young Reeruit,” bolongs to Maflit & Bartholo mow, and is one of the most ludicrous panto- mimes extant, If the audicnce, in placo of riamg from thoelr seats during the great battle- scono, would remmin quiet spectators, they would flod much to laugh over and enjoy, Taken a8 o wholo, Mr. Btotaou bos a capital entartain- ment, and doserves the patronago of all who like an ovening spont in contomplation of what s bright, laughable, wonderful, nud iunocent.
