HOOLEY’S THEATRE, “Rosalind with a Cuckoo, Sqne” was pre. sented for a New-Year's entertalnment last evenfog by Fanny Davenoort and the company, We prefer to give it this announcenient hecause it was not a representation of 8hakspeare's plas, but merely a reading of one part in it, with o surrounding in the shape ot a cast that might have been more artistically exccuted in stucco. Nothing could hava more clearly shown the de- formitics of what wecall the “star system' thno the performance which was quite cheer- fully greeted by an overcrowded audlence last night. Bhokspearo did not write his plays for stars.

Colebration of the Year's Birthday in Other Cities, CIITCAGO. ® TIE DAY GENERALLY ONSERVED, Yesterday was the firat day of the year A, D., 9~New-Year's-Day~aud 08 such was ob- served, ns in tho past, with celebrations general and joyous. The weather was all that could be desired. The morning was clear and moderate in temperature, and the Jight snow which fell 1n the afternoon did not foterfere in the least with the vomfort of those engagzed fn the all-ab- sorbing custom of calling upon acquaintances whom they regarded with especfal favor, and doubtless upon some whomn they did not regard with that degres of respect. As might be fn- ferred from the length of the published lists of naines of those ladies who were willlng to sacrl- fice tho doy to theentertalnmentof thelr friends ol the sterner sex, tho national habit of the day was mnot forgotten. The lists aforesald did not perbaps give s correet iden of the multiplieity of ladles who received, Inas- mirch as many of them who fain would recelve dld not publicly announce thelr progratnme. Many othiers it would appear adopted tho new- fangled plan of sending to thelr ““desirable” wmasculine friends speclal Invitation cards, In support of the plan it may be sald that thereby the*burdensomo *“stayer’ and the persons otherwise ubnuxions were avofded. Ttie streets wero filled;with gay and gagly-at- tired people and ropldly-driven vebicles. In a fow cases tho occupants of the sleighs and car- riages wero filled a little too much with mirth, music, and the julce of the grape, but the gen- cral behavior was decorous and tem- perate. People who did not call went out to dinoer perhaps. The througs on the street and {n the public conveyances would indi- cate 0s much, The coaritable Institutions were made the reciplents of generous portions of food and interested attentlon. Tho theatres all were well patronized afternoon and evening, and the maoagers ogaln rejoived. The usual number of churches were open and fu service, and the sermons were much to the customary charneter. The regular New- Year's trazedy was coacted, this time at ap lour that would allow the {ndustrious: re- norter plenty of time wherein to pather fact and fancy. Beyond that there was nothing of unusual” excilement so inr us 18 known, It 48 but matural ond falr withal to surmisc that tho focldents common to a short ¢ 2ason of receptlous were enacted over and over ogain, Thera were probably just as many yonng ladles lnst night ns there were a yearago at that tine who counted tiicir ealle, and campo to the fiem and proud conclusion that they had recelved more thun any other |ml,§ in thocity; Just as many young men who bad made more calls and been more graciously re- ceived than anybody cleoj just na many tables whereon wine ‘was “seen and wherefrom wine was drank and just 8 many whence wine was bavished, 08 was the caso in 1873; just as many young men nllowed thelr curiosity to overcoing their. Bunday-school tralning “and cause thelr lips to smell'of wine, a8 was the sad experience one yearago. Tuken as a whole, the day was wittiout unusual fntere: The pleas- ures wero Just about 08 numerous sud &s ex- {tonsively enjoyed. 2 BN “*rted "MoTRLY " 5 New-Year's Day ut the hotels passed off very quictly. There was but little done in the way of preparation, butall of the taverns started in the new ycar with a rousine dinuer, Tho fes- tivities were mostly private, nothing apectal be- ing dono to celebrate the day. A few of tha guests at cach hotel gnthered togethor and passcd the time pleasantly with stronz resolu- ghmu and atifl stroneer erg-nog and *fixins, " ho arrivuls wer light, but the welcome was all the more hearty, and *A Happy New Year™ Lroke tho fee with tho newly-arrved guest fully as well, if not better, thon tbe customary fn- auiries In regard to the weather outside.

At tho Sherman, althoueh the hnn?net glyen {n the sfternoon engrossed much ot fhis atten- tion of the gueats, the customary receptions were not furgotten.

Beveral trom the city jolned with thelr friends at the I'nlmerfnm’:n{vln& calls, and the parlors pre- scnted an animated scene during the day, Sove eral of tho rooms were decorated with holly and overgreons, Mauy of tho ladics werain full dress aud the reception was i many cases une usually brillfant.
