ANUsEMENTs.-Opening Of he SeosOa.-The reg
uar Winter season of the theatres ia at baud aud
two at least OF the Broadway houses begin the
paign tonight and the Others win follow peyt week.
The Bowery establishments have already entered the
field. The Sumper season idst past has been an I'M

crowded with Sightseeing Strangers that the absence
from the boxes Of New-lorkeTs proper, has had
little effect On the various treasures. Bot the New
YorkeIs can well be excused theatrical duty in the hot
weather for it 10 them that in the bleak, dismal
Winter nights the directors look a reserve corps
whose duty it is TO rush to the rescue rally round the
managerial banner and the managerial fortunes.
Nor is this expectation vsn for the instances are rare
where Winter season has failed through the indIer
ence Of the public. Let the managers provide good
compa1 les and present novelties that ought TO attract
tie public, and the public always display most CON-
men6able Willingness to he attracted play that is
both new and good and that is at the tine well
acted, is loadstoue potent enough to attract
moneys enough TO FIJI the pockets Of the most sXacting
manager.
At Laura KceneS Mr.. Jefferson with Mrs. John
Wood has produced two new plays, both founded on
the visit Of the japanese Princes, and he after ward
brought the season to a triumphant close with the
American Cousin. Tee net profits Of this enterprise
were very large.
Laura Keenc's establishment will be conducted as
heretofore by the energetic and talented Miss Keene
herself who has lately returned from 1rope, whittier
she had bent her steps in search Of attractions

Of undertaking some Of Mr.. Buttons celebrated char
acters, and in "Captan Cutie and Toodles, he hit
the public taste, and sayed the season. The profits
here were not large.
Uahack's Iheoter viii be as attractive ma ever
Mr.. Wallack having secured nearly all his company
who carried his season successfully through last
Winter. Comedy WILL ever, be the chief attraction
here As 10 the opening piece, RumoI contradicts her
self and distracs the town. Mention has been made
of a new comedy ard we also begin to hear it wLis-
pered that Mr. Lester encouraged by the success OF his
melodrama of Last year, "The Veteran" has made
new esaay in that direction. Whatever it may be- 1t
