PALMos AND The PARk.-Palmo's Opera House
is now the great resort of the fashionable and
wealthy classes of the city At the Park the
houses have been thin, and mostly composed Of
strangers, with very few ladies'. This shows the

other, by producing operas or the same nights. Ii
they would alter this arrangement, they would
most probably both benefit by 1.-THE Park certain
ly would, for the Seguins are deservedly favorites
with the public, but the passion for Italian Opera
is SO great that its lovers will not deny themselves

a brilliant operate company and splendid ballet,
will carry the whole town by storm and make a
magnificent fortune. Are not all the elements for

rise-we will have five or six years of terrible,
bewildering, delightful excitement, to be succeed
ed by one of the most interesting explosions in
fashionable society," banking Institutions, theatres,
everything, that will far exceed that OF 1887 and
furnish material for thirty or forty novels by the
next Seatsfeld that comes along!
