10 LONDON TH’“ATRICALS. ——— Glose of the Season i 4 the British Metropolie— Im- Provement ir, Public Taste—Sensational Drama * od Physical Realism Played On*Good Pieces Infamously Played, but Well Patron- ized—General Gossip. Lonpon, August 3, 1872, ‘The result of the dramatic season is,on the ‘whole, satisfactory. It bespeaks on the part ef the public a distaste for the unwholesome diet to which they have been too long accustomed and a propor- ‘Monate relish for regimen of a sounder description. St also affords evidence on the part of the managers ‘of a reasonable readiness to fall in witn the views ‘ef their patrons and to provide entertainment suit- able to the taste of the town. This is as it should we. The pig-headedness of some managers in wii- fully shutting their eyes to the signs of the times ‘and persisting in serving up dishes for which there fs no longer a demand has led to deep dissatisfac- ‘tion on both sides of the curtain, Once ona time ‘there was a donkey whe wouldn’t go, as many such ‘donkeys there have been both before and since. His master complained that though he had fed him upon all varieties of garbage still he wouldn't go. “Have you ever tried the effect of oats?’ asked a venerable by- stander. “Oats! I should think not. Cock him up with oats, indeed! What an idea!’ was the reply. In this same silly fashion have some of the London managers frequently spoken and acted; insisting ‘wpon feeding that much-enduring donkey, the British playgocr, upon thisties and dockwecd rather than upon corn, But wiser counsels must for the future prevail. It is most comfortable and con- ‘Bolatory to observe that there is no longer any ap- Petite for trashy extravaganzas and sensational melodramas. “LEGGY” BURLESQUE 38 on Its last legs, and physical “realism,” like dancing, has had its day. Tho niaiseries of that wretched description of dramatic performance which travestied and distorted all that was grace- fal and classical in poetry, all that was grand in history and all that was beautiful in romance, and which turned everything into ridicule without even the poor compensation of turning anything Into fun, have at last become utterly intolerable, and the public now turn with loathing from an “entertainment” as dishonoring to their own intel- digence as it was derogatory to the dignity of the stage. The SENSATIONAL DRAMA tein no better plight. 1t has had rope enough and it has hanged itself. ‘On ne s'étonne pas deux fois,” says the French proverb. The faculty of amazement has been exhausted, and people are placidly content with the Horatian maxim, “Nil admirari.” We have secn upon the stage real cabs with live horses yoked to them, lakes and cascades of living waters drawn from the reservoir of the New River, fashes of genuine lightning produced by electric batteries, and we have listened tothun- der that mocked the artillery of heaven. Actors and actresses have been doomed to all vicissitudes of appalling adventure, thrown down pits, chucked out of windows, hurled from the battle-” ments of castles and the belfries of cathedrals. Nay, more. They have lain prostrate athwart the metal trams of fraliways in dark tuan- mels what time the shrill whistle of the approaching express train resounded through the ‘house and “‘he)l in harness’ was thundering along at the rate of a mile a minute. That was pretty well in the way of “sensation,” and it geemed as though the vein was well nigh ex- hausted: but not so. By a supreme effort of genius, such as few men, indeea, can accomplish, Mr. H. J, Byron invented yet another form of ter- rible disaster. In his play called “HAUNTED HOUSES,” produced some months ago at the Princess’ Theatre, he made a whole house come toppling about the ears of a couple ef moonstruck jovers, who had to ran for their dear lives, and only succeeded in sav- ing themscives hy the skin of their teeth. “Apres cela la fin du monde.” The force of artifice could mo further go. The sensation-mongers were now fairly played out, and the public had nothing for it but to return to “first principles,” as the phi- losophers phrase it, or, in other words, such rational and refined entertainment as Yound favor in the eyes of their fathers. Accord- ingly we had a healthy reaction in favor of legiti- mate comely and those forms of dramatic repre- sentation which depend for their etfect neither on hairbreadth escapes, nor breakneck adventures, mor scenic rns , nor mechanical contrivance, but ‘upon that which is the true purpose of playing—the portraiture of human character, the delineation of social manners, and, in a word, “the holding, as it Were, the mirror up to nattire.” The evidences that the current of public opinion has set in a salu- tary direction, and that a taste i springing up tor dramatic entertainment worthy of the name, are many and conclusive. The success of “Bells? and “Medea” at the Lyceum, of “Money” at the Prince of Wales’, of “Hamlet” at the Princess’, of the “Heir at Law” at the Strand, of ‘London Assurance,” at the Vaudeville, and of “Pygmalion and Galatea,’’ at the Haymarket, are proois com- fortabie as incontestible that London play-goers are coming to their senses and that they are willing to go to the play t search of intellectual amusement rather than of slang and tomfoolery, Indeed, there is a certain touch of pathos in the eagerness tney now display to patronize a really good Play, how- ever ineffectively it may be performed, It 18 almost touching to observe the penitence of agenerous pro- ple, who, once convinced that they have been in the Wrong, Will submit to any kind of unworthy treat- | ment while carvestly engaged in an attempt to retrieve their error and get back into the righ! groove, Take, for example, the not very manner in which they are at present being used at the West End theatres—the Vaudeville and the Gaiety. At the former house “THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL" has been revived ina style to sadden the shade of dan if those august manes could revisit the q 3 of the footlights. The costumes are dingy, the mise-en-scene is altogether shabby, and, what is sun more grievons, the acting, except in one or two characters, is miserable. Mr. Wilitam Farren, indeed, 1s excellent as Sir Peter Teazie, a part. to which ‘he has a hereditary claim in right of his father’s admirable impersonation.

A Baptist Minister in the Role of a Pogtlist—Hera Gives Dawson a Quietus in the Streets of New Richmond—The Minister Offers a Fist and Receives a Knife in Return, CINCINNATI, August 23, 1872. The ministers of Cincinnati and vicinity—or, rather, @ portion of them—do not seem to ripen readily under the shade of the tree of divine in- spiration. In, fact they are far from becoming etherealized, It is not so leng = ago but that the memory of the youngest reasoning inhabitant still retains the circumstance in all its freshness of a young man, studying for a position in the Baptist Church, making a number of very successful raids upon the groaning shelves of the Public Library, This enterprise was confined tothe theological and religious department, and the books were all caretully taken care of by the good young man after he had taken them home, Indeed, he seemed to feel the tenderest solicitude concerning thelr treatment, and ‘wrapped them up in the nicest paper bandages he could purchase. He also effaced all those ugly little marks upon thein that betrayed where they came from, and added to their beauty by inserting his initials in gorgeously-constructed capitals upon their fly-leaves. The upshot of this young man’s good work was that he secured one of the fnest cells in a police station house one bright night, and was fined $25 and costs by way of encouragement. a week or two afterwards. He is happy now, for he preaches the good old Baptist doctrine from the pulpit of his little church in a suburban village, and jis parishioners never offend his feelings by men- tioning the Public Library in his presence, THE LATEST ASTONISHING FREAK of the men in broadcloth was a display of muscle exhibited by the Rev. Mr. Hera, a Baptist, who enunciates the doctrine in the town ot New Rich- | Mond, situated on the Ohio River, about twenty miles above here. The reverend is a well-fed and we thed gentleman, and averages well on the subiect of creatures comforts, He believes young men are an abomination and tries to prejudice their cases in the hereaiter whenever he opens the book. The young men of the village are tormented beyond description, aud would have felt under obitgations to the comet if it had come to time, as Plan- tamour decreed, and swept him up. There is one young man, by the name of Charles Dawson, residing in the villa re, who, by virtue of being interested ina livery stable, wears remarkab! fine clothes, and has the fair sex of New Richmond “set”? on him, This young man and the Rev. Mr. Hera feel as friendly toward each other as cats and dogs. Whenever they meet the honorable rev- ere: | elevates his baptistical nasal organ above the } timber line and looks straight ahead tor Wednes- day, while the meade Dawson looks as pleased at seeing him as if he had come to borrow money. THEIR LAST MERTING occurred on Tuesday. Dawson was in his stable, when Hera passed and spoke of the fine clothes worn by the young man. ‘To this Dawson replied, “If 1 do I pay for "7 and referred insinuatingly toa hanit other people had of goin ‘ound beg- ging for their wearing apparel. The meeting so auspiciously inaugurated ended in a like spirit, Hera struck Dawson a blow on his nose that will spoil its beauty for days to come, and Dawson then cut Hera with a pocket knife— once near the heart and once inthe arm. Hera then closed in, secured the knife, buckheeléd Daw- son, and, as he was falling, gave him a “‘sctentific upper cut” that “knocked in his larboard batiery oF molars.” Hera then sought a doctor, but could hardly restrain himself while his wounds were being dressed from goimg back and opening a hatchway in his assailant’s cranium, It was satd he did go ia search of him late in the day and abused him terribly; but, for some reason, carried his demonstration no farther. Neither of his wounds {s very dangerous, and when jhe re- covers his health he will probably receive instruc- tions to foliow the course of the setting sun from his congregation. THE REV, HUGH STOWELL BROWN. His Arrival in New York and Brook- lyn—What He Is as a Lecturer. The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown, of Liverpool, | England, arrived in this city yesterday morning at | eleven o'clock. His arrival had been expected on the previous day, and arrangements had been made to give him a reception at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but he was of course unable to meet his friends.

At this delightful summer retreat health and pleasure seekers are still numerous. In ‘spite of the exodus to Europe and the attractions of other and mere pretentious watering places, this has been the most prosperous season in five years at Sharon Springs. All the hotels have been crowded, and in the month of July, particularly, it was found impossible to accommodate the large nomber of visitors who were anxious to remain in the neigh- borhood. Very many were compelled to seek other scenes, because accommodation here could not be had. We wonder not that Sharon Springs is @ popular summer retreat, Our wonder rather is that .the merits of the place are not more widely known and more generally appreciated. Aside from the springs, which, so long as they give forth their healing waters, must continue to at- tract crowds of invalids, there are other and powerful attractions possessed by this place above almost any watering place we know. The scenery, which is rich and varied, presents, when looked at | from certain standpoints, spectacles of surpassing beauty, and occasionally awakens im the beholder an overwhelming sense of the sublime, Elevated some fourteen hundred feet above the sea level, the ATO3PHERE HERE IS NEVER OPPRESSIVE nor is the heat ever intolerable. In the hottest days of this terrible summer the air here has been comparatively cool, So much certainly cannot be sald for Saratoga or for Newport or for Long Branch, It will not be at all wonderful if within a few years from now the heights which surround this village shail be adorned with some of the finest hotels in the whole United States. When that time comes—and come we think it will, and that et no distant day—Sharon Springs will be quite as mucha resort of the gay in quest of pleasure and the weary in quest of rest and pure air as of the invalid in search of health, As it is—and when we say this we do not depreciate the attractions which already exist—Sharon Springsas a really comfortable and truly attractive watering place has yet to be made. The hotels, which are numerous, are most of them small; and in the case of allof them much room remains for improvement in all that relates to the comfort of the guests. More hotels are needed and those of a superior character before Sharon Springs, as a watering place and thoroughly agree- able summer resort, can be what it ought to be and what its natural advantages entitle it to be. It is no credit to some of the wealthy proprietors that there is not in the neighborhood a single drive worthy of the name, THE GRAND CENTRAL ATTRACTION at Sharon is the mineral waters. These waters, with their healing properties, were, it is supposed, known to the inhabitants of the adjacent regions as early as the commencement of the present century. It was not, however, till the year 1830 that their reputation extended beyond the immediate neighborhood. Since that time their fame has continued to spread, and now they are annually visited by many hundreds of people from all parts of the country, but chiefly from the large cities, some of them seeking relaxa- tion and pleasure, but most ofthem seeking health, The springs are numerous, gushing from the hill sides in all directions and bubbling up everywhere beneath your feet, As arule the spring takes its name from the mineral which predominates in the composition of the water, ‘Thus there is the Chaly- beate, the White Sulphur, the Blue Sulphur, the Magnesia and the pure water; but we believe the correctness of this classitication has been called in question. The White Sulphur waters and the agnesian waters are most. in favor, There are two rival bathing establishments, the one connected with what is called the White Sulphur spring, the other connected with what is catled the jagnesia Spring. At the Magnesia Spring Bathing establishment the Pine Needle bath has been suc- cessfully introduced, and this bath is eagerly sought ates by many who have great faith in its healing virtue,, AT THE SULPHUR BATH are seen the blind, the lame, the deaf, the dum> the halt, the withered, all waiting, if not as of old, for the “troubling of the water,” at least for thelr turn in the bath room and sometime for “some one’’ to help and lead them thither, It 1s asad and somewhat sickening sight, the reverse of fattering to human pride and vanity, and well fitted to fill the mind of the on- looker with humbling thoughts of himself and his species, a3 well as to force upon hii the question, “Wherefore all this misery and sorrow?” It is im- possibie to refuse to admit that the waters are pos- sessed of certain healing properties, and that in the case of certain diseases, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, scrofula and such like, the applica- tion of the sulphur bath has been attended with wonderful results. We see proof of the healing power of this place every day, although some are disposed to attribute the healing “virtue” quite as much to the pure and invigorating air as to the curative properties of the water, Wherever the virtue lies—whether it belongs to the air or to the water or to both we care not to inquire—the factis undeniable that cures are performed, - If the blind are not made to see, and the deaf to hear, certain it is that the lame walk and that THE WITHERED PUT ON FRESTINESS and vigor. We ure sorry we cannot write as ap- provingly as we could wish of the condition and management of the Sulphur Bathing establishment. Tn both particulars it stands out in striking and disagreeable contrast to its rival. The Mag- nesian Baths are, in regard to appointments ani management, almost all that could be wished. There cleanliness and good attendance are the order of the day, At the sulphur estab- lishment there are two bathing houses—one for gentiemen and one for ladies. In each there are fifty-two rooms, At the bustest houp of the day, when the rooms are fill and an impatient crowd wait for admission, one lady, with au assistant, is reckoned sufficient attendance for one house, and one man, with an assistant, is reckoned sutticient attendance for the other. Surely this is not as it ought to be. At a bathing establishment, if any- where, cleanliness and good attendance are neces- sary. It is expected that the season here will close about the 1th of September. As vet, as we have mentioned before, there 1s no lack of visitors, among whom and at inost of the hotels we notice a goodly sprinkling of the prosperous sons and danghters of Israel. PRIZE FIGHT AT WEEHAWKEN. A Flerce Encounter and an Unsatisfac- tory Result. * Aprize ight for a stake of $300 between Marti Crow and Jerry Murphy, two Jersey “bi came of yesterday morning at Weehawken in presence of a crowd of about four hundred, to whom the epithets “unwashed” and “anterrified” might be apUy applied. Murphy was seconded by Jack Crosby and Pete Donahue, aud Crow was ai- tended to with sponge and bottle by Jimmy Wake- field and Otto Coman, the latter well known in sporting circles by the soubriquet of the “Kid.” Twenty-one rounds were fought in forty-seven minutes, and & more desperate encounter between tic professionals wa reely ewer witnessed in Jersey.
