years past we'll his orchester which 10 q very
superior one, and we are happy to add, composed
wholly Of Washington musicians. Stage-manager
Bland is also nightly winning golden opinions
by the manner In which he places his pieces upon
the stage-the costumes and attention paid by all
the corps to the Sc business" Of them 1.-THE plays)
being unexceptionable. In these matters the i'm
provement over what our play-goers have been
accustomed to il very remarkable, and cannot fail
to tell most satisfactorily upon the nightly receipts
