A letter from one of Col. Thomas A. Scott’s party, written oo the 12th of February, gives the following pretty paragraph concernidg his health und surroundings: *Weare on the pe- turesque little *Fertie,’ lazily drifting along the Nile in an atmosphere of pure mountain air saturated with sunbsams. Itisa little beauty, and floats the American flag, of course. This satisties Mr. Scott, but I fear 1 watch with greater interest a red, white, and blue streamer 125 feet long, which flies from the top of the lateen sail. And on the deck beneath the color- ing is a delizht to the cye. There are Turkish and Persian rues, and pots of tropical plants, end boxes Sf erowing flowers, and folks in Dright and outlandish garb, and on either side the flanks are manned by sailors in flowing robes wd turbaus. And here Mr. Scott lies and {reams and Jauzhs. Hels happy as a King, and or ouce lazy enoughto let us work our will Fith bim. we read to him, make fun of him, and admire his fez.

And our plans contemplate a continu- wnce of this pleasant dreaming in equally pleas- 3ot places until October. By April we shall re- )u.rln to Fiorence, then we shall spend 2 month ;x. least in Rome. _The summer will be given to witzerland, pext France, and then home.” THE STAGE. THE DRANA. CHICAGO. LOCAL EREVIEW OF THE WEEE. The past week has mot beena remarkably brilliant or notable one in Chicsgo theatrical circles, although mo less than three plavs new to the town have been brought out, of which mention is made below. Perhaps the greatest attraction was st Haver- Iy's, where “Almost a Life’ has held the boards o 2 patronage somewhat less than it de- serves. The play is of the usual French type, in whielf illicit and honorable love forms the groundwork of the plot, mixed up with the usual modicum of Gallic bumor (which is opot very fumny when translated into Euglish) and the necessary assortment of Dukes, Counts, and other elements of nobility without which no French dflmai;complete. The plot is a simple coough one, being merely the Jove of a Countess for an unmurried young no- bleman who lives in the immediate vicinity of her residence. After enjoying ber favors for some time he becomes ensmored “onm the square’ of another ‘young lady, which naturally arouses the ire of the Countess. About this time the Cquot s killed, and ad idiot charges the crime o the young nobleman. The various events of his trial and conviction for the mur- der, and final escape through the confession of the murder by the idiot, afford opportunity for some excellent acting by the principal female characters, assumed . by Miss Moud Grao- ger and Miss Emily Rigl.." The latter is perhaps the best actress of the two, and the old-time theatre-goers of Chicazo can scarcely believe that the stately woman before them is the same person who came hereasa sprightly Jittle ballet-dancer in 1857, making ber debut in «The Black Crook.” ~After capering nimbly to the pleasings of the orchestra Jor several seasons, Miss Emily abandoned Terpsichore and formed an alliance with Thespis, ‘which has proved sdvantareous to both parties. Her enunciation is good, notwithstanding the slizht accent with which the delivery of her lines is tinged, and in point of graccfulvess there is hardly an actress on the American stage who is her egual, the training re- ceived at the hands of a ballet- master years aro doing her good service. Of Miss Granger there is not much to be said. She graduated from Fanny Morant’s school, and, like all pupils of that lady, her acting Is sterco- typed. She does everything passably well, but is nowhere brilliant. In falling, she is particu- larly bad. There is & good deal to be made out of a well-regulated stage fall, and when the de- serted wife or maiden goes over like & barn-door on receiving distasteful news, the' sudience fecls that she meansbusiness, and is. inclined to ap- plaud accordingly. * The public knows who the effective dramatic athletes are, apd is pot to ve fooled by any inferfor ~exhibitions. Miss Granger goes down too much after the manner of a trick ponyin a circus,—drop- ping gently to the knees, and then rolling over in a very mild fashion. The Rice Surprise Party has been giving «Babes fn the Woods ** at McVicker’s, to fair au- diences. The hold which this extravamanza has taken on the public affections is demonstrated by the fact that, although it has been produced times without number, folks will go to sce itj kecp time with their feet to the lively music with which it abounds, and_admire the comicali- ties of Edouin. Mestayer, Dixey and Harrison, who, witl: Louise Secarle, Alice Atherton, an Miss Singer, are the mainstays of the troupe. Oue feature that deserves mention is the pre- coclonsness of the Edouin children—May and Daisy- These mites of ‘bumanity, 3 and 2 years old respectively, have mportant parts to perform i the ‘pantomime portion of the play, and periorm them well. Daisy *makes up” immensely as a policeman. and the faithfu) imitation of the averaze bluc coat’s gait and swagger never fails to ;;mducc rounds of applause. Mr. Dominick Murray, an actor of merit who bas hitherto confined himself chiefly to the rencition of parts in which a striped snit of clothes and chain were the principal features, has been doing something new at Humlin’s. His play is _cntitled. * Innocent; or the Gamb- ler’s Crime,”, and deals in sensationalism of the most pronounced.type.. It is essentially a tdrama” for the gallery, and has met with favor at the hands of the critics who occupy that portion of the house. +Good as Gold * has been on at the Metro- politan, and in it Mr! Edyin Browne, 2 pleasing young actor, has achieved 8 fair amount of suc- cess. 1LOCAL NOTES. The management . will continme *“Good as Gold ™ at the Metropolitan this week. A variety bill 1s also offered. Mr. S. D. Picrce, advertising agzent of Hooley’s ‘Theatre, will be the recipient of a benefit at that house next Saturday night. Miss Clara Brown, of Englewood, an amateur reader of considerable ability, will read at La- con, 111, Thursday evening ol this weck, before the Reform Club of that place. The sprightly and amusing Lotts appears at Hooley’s to-morrow and every night except Sat- urday during the week in “ Musette.? At the Wednesday matinee, * East Lyone.” « Horrors » will be brought out by the Rice Surprise Party at McVicker's on Monday, Tucs- day, and Wedpesday of the present week. Thureday and Friday evenings and at the Satur- day matinee “ Hiawatha » will be given. Miss Laura E. Ddinty, the reader, is making a tour through Michigan. Her engazements %or the present week arc: Monday, Grand Rapids; Tuesday. Bay City; Wednesday, Lansing; Thurs- sy, Jacksons ‘Friday, Plymonth; Saturday, De- roit. L Mrs. Scott-Siddons, fresh from the Canada branch of the Court of 8t. James, will give read- ings at Farwell Hall next Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. As the Jady is a favorite bhere, the entertzinments will doubtless be well patronized. The second annual benefit of the Chicago Lodge of Elks will takeplace at McVicker's Theatre next Thursday ' afternoon. As might be expected there wiil be a tremendous array of talent, but as the programine is not completed, it cannot be given. Mr. Haverly is out with gorgeous posiers for the present week announcing Mr. J. K. Emmet in his **New Fritz” Both the ‘play and the star ar¢ well known and liked here.” The Ger- mania Mannerchor has been engaged to assist in the rendition of * The Lullaby Chorus.” “ Broken Fetters; or, The Great ExpressRob- bery,” is the somewhat, suggestive title of the attraction at Hamlin’s_this week. Mr. C. W. Burry assumes the leading role. There are ni- merous exciting scenes in the play, and some- thing of interest for dlmost everybody. Mr. Carpenter annonnces & season of an en- tire month’s lectures and entertainments of Art and Travel. The series comprises an fllus- trated tour through England, Irelaud, Europe, the Holy Land. and India, under the auspices of the celebrated English-traveler and Oricntal scholar, Judge W. F. Bick, latc of her Majesty's civil service, whose entcrtainments have been the feature of the lecture season in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn—such cempetent eritics as Dr. Storrs, Edward Everett Hale. Longfellos, and others pronouncing them unsurpsssed of their kind, and " the most enter- taining and instructive entertainments of travel and art ever given in this country. Judge Bick is a graduate of Oxford, and in his capacity as a. representative of the Lnglish Government has traveled widely, and under circumstauces which gave him every opportunity to inform himself Gpon the history, arts, architecture, customs, and soclety of cach country. This information he has condensed into his onth’s Tour, and by means of **The Euryscope,” an instrument in- vented in France, and the first one ever intro- duced into this country, he is able to reproduce and vivialy project upon & surfaceof 1,000 square feet illuminated representations ilustrating every feature of the land ' through which bis Tour leads him. The series will bezin Monday week, March 17, in McCormick Hall. with “Rambles in London.” ) NEW YORK. A POOR M'VICKER!—‘PINAFORE " TOO MUCH FOR HIM. Spectal Correspondence of The Tribune. NEw YOBE, March 6.—Mr. McVicker arrived 1n the metropolis in the latter part of last week. At that time he was blooming with heaith, and happiness, and innocence. In one short week a terrible change bas come over him. In the place of the ruddy glow upon his cheek, there is 3 sunken and haggard pallor; care sits upon his brow; and the eager expectancy which gleamed in his eyes when he first bezan to look over the 1ist of attractions which-might be made avail- able for his Chicago theatre bss gives way tos dull, meaningless stare. > Heis a tottering wrecks Can you guess what has doneit? Ityoucan't, let me tell you. It was “ Pinafore.” When Mac arrived in New York he intended to secare four or five first-class shows for Chi- cazo, 1 suppose he had been in Simmonds’ office on Union Square about five minutes, when a telegraph-messenger came in with a dis- patch for him. Opening it, he read: you a * ‘Pl » party at once. Cansend youa *“Pinsfore” patyat once. Eicht wofds, 25 cints. Collect. Mac was about to reply, when a district tele- graph-boy dashed into the room with acity message, which ran thus: Am now making up traveling company to play «Pinafore " through the country, and -can scnd them to you for a week. Send reply to St—n—rd Theatre. 3 4 All right,” sald Mac to the boy. *Tell him Il be up there by and by.” The messenger, turned and charzed madly from the office. As he passed out through the -door, two other lads came in. One was from the telegraph oftice, ind the other was appa- rently an ordinary errand-boy. Both carried en- velopes addressed to J. H. McVicker. The old gentleman took each letter, opening: the tele- gram first. Itread: Lonisville with ** Pinafore™ mext week. Re- ceipts for four nights here, $12,000. Will come 10 you one week {or 00 per cent of gross receipts. Br—L—Y C—)—B—LL. Collect, 25 words, $2.50. Mac began to get pale, but he opened the other message. It was worded as follows: We are tarning away thousands every night-with +*Pinofore.” Receipts cnormous. Time all filled ghead, but can let you bave & week in Chicazo for 95 per cent of gross. Reply by bearer. J. C. Fo—y—B. The old gentleman now grew excited. But he had selt-command enongh left to order the boys out of the office. They hadn’t fairly left, though, when there came an_ominous rumbling from below, and, in. another instant, at least twenty messengers, of every conceivable shape, size, and dégree of personal cleanliness, dashed’ | in. Each of them.held a note, and cach note was addressed to J. H. McVicker. The veteran manager’s hand began to tremble as-he opened the first. It was: < Am now traveling with ** Pianafore,” and mak- ing cords of money. Company consistsof three peaple, and my principal feature is a strect-parade each day. . Turning away people every night. Can come to Chicago for one week. Terws 86 per cent of gross, you to advance tickcts from here to Chi- cago. J. E. McD—N—U—GH. Fifty-two worda; collect $1.25. & Mac gasped, but paid. By the time he hed read the sixth messaze the hallway and side- walk were blocked with telegraph-boys, and the polfce’had been notified that there was a riot in Uuion Square. Twenty minutes later, a platoon of officors arrived and cleared- the pavement, and, as they did so, the last boy employed by | ihe Western Union Company camo running up the street. When he reached Simmords’ office, Mac was Iying on the sofa, looking wild and frothing at the mouth. He managed, however, to reach out feebly and take the telegram. It was from Chicago and contained these lines: Seven hundred and twenty ** Pinafore ™' compa- nies applied for time to-day. . All want at least 80 per cent of gross recell;u. All their telegrams are gent *¢ collect,” and all insist on having their fares advanced. Treasurer ie alreudy insane, and Sharne has fied in_terror: my own reason is tottering. Ad- vise me, Fifty-one words. PAID. Horace. Mac fainted. Several hours passed before he was restored to consciousness, and it was feared that he would die. But he recovered gradually, although he was very much worn. His first scheme was to fix up along dispatch of about 500 words, saying he didn’t want * Pinafore,” wouldn't have it at any pricc, and swearing a solemn oath that be would slay the first man who said thé word to him again.” This telegramn b sent “collect” to every man who had pre- viously “wired ¥ nim. And since that unbappy day he has carried a shoterun on all occasions. But he wears an anxious, hunted look which i spires a great deal of sympathy, and every time he sees a three-sheet poster of “ Pinafore,” he :lums blue in the face, and gets away as fast as e can, As I telegraphed Saturday mpight, Mr. Me- Vicker has purchased the rizht to produce W. S. Gilbert's * Engaged” in seven States. The move is undopbtedly a wise one, an there ought tobea ‘good deal of money init. The pirates are_already at work upon the picce, and are doing the best they know how to rob the legitimate rignt-owners, Mr. Abbey has made a great success of the play in New York, as one may readily understand when it is stated that .the author’s share of the profits so far reaches the very tidy sum of £340, or about $1,700. At this stageof the =ame the thieves step in and write to managets'al] throuzh ' the conntrr, say- ing they will Turnish coies ot the comedy w!tg- out exacting any royalty whatever, excepting the regular commissions which these thievesget for sending other attractions to hatl-owners and managers. Matters have comec to a pretty pass indeed when an honest man- er who is successful with a piece as not only to take all the risks of its production, and also is obliged to_pay Leavy royalties to the writer, but, in addition to this, must lav out 2 good part of his share in the profits to protect his rights against the wanton piracy ot dend-beats. That is Q;-cclselv the way the Ipud lies just now, and McVicker, flall, and Abbey threaten to maks it hot for anybody who tries to steal their property. Anybody who thoueht Jack Haverly would find bis hands full when he tackled operatic management made 2 mistake. Jack—I beg his pardon, Colonel—Haverly is still keeping his eyes peeled for fresh ficlds t6 conquer. His latest venture is the Lvcsum Theatre in this city, which he has Icased for o perlod of three years. Until Den Thompson played in the Ly- ceum it was always a failure. But since then its history has been " a succession of fortunate engagements. It is Mr Haverly’s plan to play combinations at this housc, just as he does in Chicago. And, if he gets three or four more companies under his management, he'll_have cnough attractions of his own to fill all the time from one season to another, Jack —I mean the Colonel—was in New York a few days ago; as happy as ever, and telling great tales of his freshest triumphs. He is & good deal ahcad thus'far this ycar, and expects to quit in Jane worth a big heap of cash. The New York Tribune fathers a short para- graph, which is being widely circulated just now, baving reference to Anma Dickinson’s “Arelian.””_The Tribune pooh-poohs the play, and says “The statement, circulated lately, that John McCullough bad accepted Miss Dick- inson’s ‘Aureliap,” and would. act in it, proves to bave been incorrect.” This is the merest kind of folly on the part of the gay aud chivairous Tribune. The play was written by Miss Dickinson, at Mr. McCullougl’s earnest entreaty, and was accepted by him. While the tragedian was in Boston lately, an_employe of the Zribune went on there and remained a weck. The newspaper man’s mission there was 1o con- vince McCullough that the play was zood for nothing. He 60 far succeeded as to make the tragedian say to one or two people that the piece must be changed- in some important de- tails. Thereupon Miss Dickinson, seeing that she wasn’t going to bave any show, went on to Boston and took ber play away from AeCul- lough, not_giving bim auny oppqrtunity what- ever to decline it, or to hint that he didn’t wans it. That is-why the “siatcment” happens to *“have been incorrect.” The ZTribune has hounded Miss Dickinson with the utmost. per- sistency for a ereat many years, and is deter- mined to prevent her from becoming an actress if it can. 1don't know whether Miss Dickinson can act or not, because 1 never saw her trv. But 1don’t belicve it is at sll square in the Zribune to try and crush her just because she denied a re- port that the young® editor was going to marry her. Imay add here that.‘ Aurelian made a profound impregsion when it Was read the other night, ond within the first tweaty-four hours thereafter the authosess received four distincs offers from as many prominent actors to do the play at once. The Tribune utters a deliberate untruth wheu it says the tragedy is in aoy way the outegrowth of novels ‘‘by William Ware,” or anybody else. Itis entirely original in every respect. . At the Union Square Theatre, “*The Banker's Daughter " is drawing tremendous audiences, Tucsday cvening the largest house of the sea- son was in attendance, which, in view of the al- ready long run which has been achieved by the piece, and the exceedingly bad time of year for lays in general, is very complimentary to Mr. oward’s picce. It is possible that the play will finish the season after all. ’ At the Grand Opera-House John Raymond has been doing Sellers to a series of good houses. Wallack still playes ¢ Spellbound,” and is rehearsing “A Bit of Paper.” “Thro’ the Dark” will positively be done on Monday at the Fifth Avenue, where “Pinafore is drawing heavily.

Spectal Correspondence of The Tridune. PHILADELPHIA, March 7.—The first fortnight of Lent is not oyer, but alrcady the air is thick with reports of changes ab the thestres, and rumors of more to come. Manager Good- win, of the Walnat Street, has mever forgiven J.8. Clarke for buying the Brood Stréet, and permitting it to be run in opposition tu the Wal- nut Street, which, although his own theatre, he bad leased to Mr. Goodwin. The trouble began soon after Clarke’s -return from Europe. The Walnut does not hold more than 1,700 persons, but Clarke bad leascd it to Goodwin & Clarke for $25,000 a’vear, Mr. Goodwin to pay the rent and then divide profits after taking out $i5a week for himself.’ The natural result of this wus to make Goodwip manager, with all the pecuniary responsibility and a salary. with only 2 trifling share of the profits. Even this did not satisfy Mr. Clarke, and he said so in his quick-tempered way. . Mr. Goodwin said, *‘Pay me what I have puc in and I will o out, or let me haye the theatre at $20,000 a year and you can go oit.” To this Mr. Clarke agreed, and then leased the Broad Strect to Ford & Zimmerman, and at once set about getting the stars and combinations that had hitherto played at the Walout Street. Thismade Goodwin very angry, and, though his lease has yet eighteen months to ran, he determined to get out of itas soon as he could. He has, therefore, leased the Arch Street Opera-House, 25 telegraphed you last wéek. The house stands at the corner of Tenth and Arch streets, and is 2s accessible as any in the city. It was built expressly for a minstrel hall, and has been run as such until this week, first by Simmons & Slocum, then by Simmons, Slocum & Sweatnam, and lastly by Sweatnam & Welch, The owner of the theatre has always rented on & percentage, and had his own trensurer, There is really no prettier theatre in the country. It has mirrors all around the suditorium, the seats extending all the way across, and po parquet circle. It has 456 seats on the lower floor, 48¢ in the balcony, and 850 in the gallery. ‘There has been on one oceasion X tick- ets in the Goxes for one night. It will be secn that this is on admirably proportioned house, and it is on a leve] with the street, the entrance being through a broad archway not more than twenty fect deep. Mr. Goodwin had to contend with Mr. Abbey, of the Park Theatre, for the Tease, but the latter agreed to stand aside, and out of compliment Mr. Goodwin, who never formets a friend, has named it the Park Theatre, and has made o’ contract with Abbey by which they are to assist each other in any way possible, Mr. Goodwin taking the Park successes from New York regularly. The house bas a fine stage, quite large enough for a comedy theatre, about thirty-six feet decp and about as high. It can also be colarged if need be.. It is uo- questionably the most cosy theatre in town, and in this respect has no superior anywhere. This will be Mr. Goodwin’s special care. He says that Mr. Clarke havingadvertised the Broad Street as the best-located theatre in town, he does uot_proposé to contradict him, and shall Tet Mr. Clarke's other theatre take care of itself. He will not, however, bite off his noso to spite his face, and bas the contracts now ready for sinature by which Col. William E. Ston, of the Brooklyn Purk, assumes the management next Geason for cither twenty or thirty weeks. This is the arrangement foreshadowed in my letter to TuE TRIBUNE long ago, when Mr. Goodwin was awaiting Faony Davenport’s reply to his offer for 400 nights.” Col. Sinn, wno was for a long ‘time manager of the Chestnut Strect, and knows the clty pretty well, will run it in connection with his Brooklyn theatre, with one stuck com- pany for botl houses. He will not have the lease, - but _will} probably be the sole man- ager. Goodwin has also put his finger in another pie,—perhaps I should say another mess,—for he is_in treaty with Fox for the American, and when Fox gets out of jail the business will_be concluded. Forepaugh bas made Robert Fox an offer for the new Ameri- can Theatre, which bas been run since it was rebuilt as a varlety theatra of the lowest kind. Itisa large house, capabic of holding 2,500 persons, aud has an admirable location upon Chestnut street, within oné block of the Contl- neotal and Girard Houses, the new_ Post-Office, and is in the same block with the Matual Life Building, the Western Union Telegraph Com- gnny. and the Mercantile Library. It will need urther refitting to. the amount of $10,000 or $15,000, for it was never properly finished, car- ets and upholstery being cutire]{l ‘unnecessary or the class of people who have been its patrons. Nor is_this all. Ford & Zimmerman, who ook the Broad Street, with the option to sbut it up whenever the; fiked, and with the azree- ment that no second-class entertainment should be pus upon the stage. They have filled their contract, and without any capital at ali—not that it was lacking, buc it was not needed— have made about $30,000 on the season, or will have before it closes. They have cabled an offer to Clarke to rency, but he has written, and they do not know what he proposes as_yet. The chances are that they will have it, for no one else could begin to ao as well with . “Bjlly? Gemmill is keeping his own counsel about the Chestnut Street, upon which Haverly is said to have an eye, and Do one knows what he willdo. He has certainly come out shead on the season thus far, and I think has made fimm little muney, though not enough to re- re on. - The Arch Streetisin o bad way. The name of Charles Randolph Gardiner is still at the head of the bills, though bhe has never been trusted as the ‘business manager. Old Michael Riter owns the majority of the stoc, and Gard- jner never dared to object even to his instruc- tions to the ushers; although Mrs. Drew was the lessee and mapager, and he was busiuess man- ager. The bouse has not had more than one or two paying eneagements this season, and for one of those—Haverly’s Mastodon Minstrels— they had to take o rental and not a percentage. There'is talk of making it a variety house next season, but I do not think that Mrs. Drew can be brought to that. She strenuously objected to & reduction in the price of rescrved” seate be- Iow 3130, and she will not_sit down quictly to see her staze desccrated by Hams ¥ all the way from Oshkosh and Kalamazoo. ‘The Elcventh Street Opera House, for which Carncross bays 25 per cent on its cost as rental, will have the field all to itself pext year, an will make more money than éver. 1t has always paid so well that Carneross has tried in vain to purckase it, and haos made a bandsome profit every vear, Desides four or five thousand on his summer trin. ° % The story of the week has been pretty well told in the “logr of “the * Pivafore.” Mr. Gem- mill, after a trial of new American plays that were incontinently-damned, returned to his old programme. * Camille” was_given for Lillie Glover's benefit to a profit of $1,000, and made such a hit that it has been repeated several simes to excellent houses.. * Money” drew fairly, and the other revivals of the earlier sue- cesses of the scason have been witnessed by -good audiences.

It must be s bad piece if it will not do that, for thererular season closes on the 5th of April, and there is nothing ahead of that unless Barrett gets the house for asieze of Philadelphis. He is disgusted with his success here. Goodwin hought him off for Thanksgiving week for $1,000 to keep * Around the World in’ Eighty Days* on the stage, and took in more than” that sum at almost every performance, Last week be did not have §500 at any performance, and I venture to say that ho did not make as much money by playing as he did_before by lying idle.

She hauded in her tickets and was half way through the narrow passage, when Wheatley leaned “over the rail, grasped her by the shoulder and thrust her out- side, at the same time pushing a man—the nexc in turn—inside of the railing. Then raising his hat politely to the lady, he apologized, and es- corted her in to the usher himself. ‘ What did you do that for?” asked Harry Palmer. “ Why, my dear boy, cxplained Wheatley in very suave and stagey style, ¢ it would neverdo to allow a woman to_be the first to enter the theatre on a first night.” * Why not??’ queried Harry in great surprise. * Because it 15 bad luck—that’s all. * Always let a man in first, and you've got ’em dead.” NUSIC. AT HOME. - THE STRAKOSCI OPERA SEASON. The comparative dullness in the musical world ed next week by the see- ond season the Strakosch troupe,— an event which assumes all the more impor- tance os it is mow certain that the Mapleson troupe will not return here, and that this will be the last Italian opera of the season. The troupe will appear dt Toledo on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and at Detroit durini the re- mainder of this week, and reach herc on Sun- day next, the scason beginning at McVicker’s on Monday, the 17th. The repertory of the week will be as foltows: Monday, * The Huguenots,” with Kellogg, Cary, -Litta, Adams, Pantaleon, Gottschalk, and Conly; Tuesday, * Faust,” with Litta and Cary; Wednesday, * Mignon,” with' Cary as Uignon, Kelloge as Filina, and Lancaster as Federico; Thussday, ‘‘Kizolctto,” with Litta: Friday, “Lohengrin,” for the ben- efit of Miss Kellogg; Saturday matinee, ¢ partha,” with Litta and Cary; and Saturday evening, * Carmen,” with the . old . cast. The company is the same a8 that whichi was here in November last, except that Miss Julia Gould bas jolned it, Mr. Adems is permanently connected with it, and Mile. Bonfantiisat the:head of the ballet. Mlle..Catarino Marco, who was obliged to cease singing by illness, is now recovered and rejoing the troupe here. The season will also be nota- ble from the fact that it will be Miss Kellogg’s last appearance here for a long time to come, as she has signed contracts with Maurice Stra- kosch for a Enropean engagement, and will be absent some three years. At the conclusion of the season here, which lasts but & single week, the troupe will appear fn Milwaukee two nights; in Indianapolis, three nights: in Pitts- burg, one week; and then, after a single con- cert in Philadelphis, Miss Kellogg will sever il Labocatta, | Bignardi, Stigelli, Stecchi, Botardi, Massimiliani, her connection with ir, and the troupe will goto San Francisco, where the scason will be finished.

Mr. McVicker has returned from New York, and brings the good tidings that he has engaged Dufl’s Standard Company to give a week or two of “Pinafore” after the close of the Italian season March 24. It will be romembered that this is the company that made the work so sue- cessful in New York. Besides the 8solo people, the chorus will number fifty, under the direc- tion of Max Maretzek. Mr. McVicker intends to place it on the stage in a more complete and elegant manner than has ever been attempted before in this country. An immeuse business is a- foregone conclusion. "Everynod und their “sisters, cousin, and sunts” will go. The. « Pinafore # will heave in sizht two weeks from to-day, and come to her moorings on the next evening. TR HERSHEY POPULAR CONCERT. * Thecighteenth Hershey popular concert took place last Monday evening, the hall being crowded to the utmost. Mr. Eddy opened the eveniog’s entertainment with the “Introduction and Bridal Chorus?” from_*Lobengrin,” ar- ranged for the organ by Warren. Iis other pumbers were Guilmant’s exquisite A fla “Elevation,” and_the “Finale ” 'to’ Lemmens’ sonata * Poptificale,” a bijlliant and pleasing work: In reply to a persistépt eucore he gave the * Marche Pontificale,” from tlie samesonata, a number coptaining some ciwoice eflects” for trumpet. Mr. Emil Liebling, though” suffering from serious illpess, played io 2 masterly man- ner the Larghetto from ;Hepselt’s F minor Concerto, three sclections from Chopin’s works, on Etude in I flat, Mazurka in° B minor, and Polonaise in C sharp minmor. For Lis third number he gave Field’s * Nocturoe » in A, and his own ncw ‘““Gavotte. Moderne,”? a brillians and well written nomber which can- not fail of making a fine impression wherever heard. TFor an cncore she played & selection from Schumann’s * Kreisleriana.” Mr. James Gill san_two numbers, *‘Here's a Health to Bonple Scotland,” and the '“The Gallants of Eogiand,” ;und was enthusiastically recalled after each appearance. - Miss Minnie Sherwood sang Schubert's lovely song, -¢ Margaret at the Spiuning Wheel,” and * He the Best of ALY and “L'll not Repine.” 'The’ lady has a rich mezzo-soprano voice of symoathetic quality, and gave her numbers with dramatic power and great spirit. She was recalled after each ap- pearance, and replied once with a sonz of Jensen. Messrs. Liebling and Eddy closed the evening’s entertainment With 2 fine performance of Saint Saens’ planoforte duo, *‘Orfent and Occident.” 1t is scldom that we have am op- portunity of hearing works of this ‘class given by two such artists. « TOE BEETHOVEN SOCIETY REUNION.

' Lost Thursday Mies Carrie T. Kingman, the accomplished lady orzanist, gave an organ re- citat at Hershey Hall, with the following pro- gramme, which was piayed with great finish. A glance will_show the difficulties to be van- uished, and no greater praise is required thaa the statement that the lady acquitted herself admirably. The programme included the fol- lowing numbers: 1. Sonats in D minor. op. 11. Ritter 2. Grand Andante in G, No. Smart 3.

The third concert ot the Apollo Club will be given in a few weeks, with arequest prozramme, including some of the most popular Work of former seasons, to be followed later in the sea- son with Handel’s great work, *The Messiah,” with full orchestrs and eminent soloists. * The Messigh ? has not been given here for many vears, and its performance therefore will be & marked event_of the season and a fisting close to the fine series of concerts this Club has given its patrone. For their labors, thus far, the Club deserves the heartiest encouragement and an increase of ‘patronage; and a special op- portunity is offered in the latter di- rection, as associate memberships, admit- ting two persons to each of the remain- ing concerts, are now offered for $2.50, applica- zions for which may be made at Root & Sons’ musie-store, or to J. Van Inwagen, President, 154 Washington street, and J. S. Hamilton, Secretary, 68 State street. The Club will shortly issue a special prospectus setting forth these and other facts in_the form of an_appeal to the musical public. It is to be hoped ivwill meet with a generous response that will enable the Club toproducs *“The Messiah *” in the most com- plete manner. In this conneetion we bave becn requested to announce a full rehearsal of the active members for to-morrow eyeuing. MR. EDDY’S HUNDREDTH RECITAL. Since receiving the De Lange Sonats, as one of the numbers for his one-hundredth organ recital, Mr. Eddy has received a ‘*Fantasie’ m E minor by Merkel. Mr. S. G. Pratt, of this city, has also contributed a *‘Pastorale,” so that three numbers of the programme are now in readiness. The hundredth recital will oceur June 21, and, as the entire programme will be composed of original works, written expressly for the occasion, it promises to be an event of unusual interest, nnd something unique in the history of “’g“""“’}[% in this country. At the same time, ig}pe ks volumes for the posi- tion which Mr. d&)holds as a musician, that such compesers as_De Lange, Merkel, Guil- maut, Saint Sacns, Haupt, Liszt, Dudley Buck, and others of equal prominence, should have significd their intention of contributing manu- seript works for the oscasion. OPERATIC TENORS. ‘The Saturday Herald of this city says: A published list of tenors who have appeared here “eince ignoli first became known to New York in_1855 comgriu!.‘s thirty-three, ¢‘Maurale, Lorini, Bolcioni, Salviani, Tiberini, Musianj, Testa, Sbriglia, Squires, Beancsrde, Pancani, Villani, Le Franc, Baragli,'Capoul, Viz- zani, Abrugnedo, Carpi, Wachtei, Tamuerlik, Campanini, Benfratelli, De Dasgini, Celads, Fra- pollL,” ut omits_several like Castle, Aujac, the mysterious Aastralian celebrity, Rosoati, and some others like Pozzolinl, that love of a tenor who cap- tivated the entire female world of his day, and be- came g0 intimatcly connected with Mme. Sontag's tragic fate In Mexico. For beauty of voice and erson, he was never excelled, even by Mario in s prime. The Herald, however, does not begin to cover the ground of operatic tenors, for how about Bowler; Miranda, who had an immense success; Maccaferri, the screamer; Lotti, the best of the light German tenors; Steffanl; Tamarb; Hein- mer; Habelmaun; Bernard; Anastasi; Errani, now the best teacher fn New York: Irfre, s bet- ter Edgardo than Campamini; Maas, perhaps the most prominent of the English tenors; Palmieri; Tom Karl; Turner; Adams; Fritsch; Graff; and the three lightweights, Westberg, Laz- zarinl, and Gillandi?

Each number was -received with marked favor by the critical audience, but the solo ‘Si tu Savais,’ as sung by Miss Lawrence, and duo ‘Listen to the oodbird,’ by Mrs. Beebe and Mrs. Waldron, anda solo by Miss Robinson, were enthusiss- tically encored, and proved the gems ot the evening. Mrs. Wood sustained ber reputation s a most graceful and eeoial hestess, and the occasion will be pleasantly remembered by thoss present for some time.” The testimonial concert at the Fourth Unita- rian Chureh, on Thursday evening last, to M. Cora E. Daniels, was 3 very pleasaat affair, the church being crowded, and the masical features of the programme being very interesting. The novelty of this part of the programme was the debut of Miss Emma J. Slingsby, of Boston, who made a very successful impression, mcl who, we are informed, may make her residenés here another season. Mrs. Daniels, the beneft- clary, is 3 lady well known in musical and drs- matic circles. She has been pursuing ber stud- {es bere so quietly during the two years that almost every one was surprised, not oaly by her vocal powers, but also by ker abilitles as a reader, especially in emotional passages. As we believe Mrs. Dantels intenas adopting the stage as 2 profession, her fufure will be watched with much interest by her friends.
