poped to time not definitely fixed.

Mr.. Nixon, at the Cremorne Garden, still revels in
sunshiny prosperity His visitors are nightly taker
with the new pantomirne. Not only are they taken
but, we can personally testify, they also shaken
with laughter. An extra performance was rem
dered necessary last Saturday afternoon the evenings
of the week not being at present sufficiently numer
GUS to satisfy the public need The audience was "
large that the practice of giving the pantomme on
Saturday afternoons will probably be regularly con
tinued We have hitherto neglected to speak
particularly of the music which Mr. Baker has
provided for "The Spirit Of the Flood We should
have given it more consideration. Toe overture
whether old or new, is a very skillful piece OF WORK
in its way. The familiar melodies are wrought To-
geiher not ouly with great taste, but with clever
ness that no musician could dispute. 1t carries more
weight than most of Mr.. Bakers free-and-easy Occa-
sonal pieces. The orchestral accom- anment to the
action Of the pantomme adds greatly to its yeliness

air music too for the promenade concert, is always
well selected. Some Of Mr.. Bakers later compost
tons are Of a fierce pyrotecbnic character. They

from the Pagoda. Mr.. Baker holds the stick.
The particular charm of DIE Cremorne Garden is
its variety. 1t is good to have such multitude OF

The opening week Of Gabriel Rayel drew a series
Of audiences vast enough TO bewilder a manager OF
merely moderate expectations. Even last Tue -day
united with the most oppressive heat TO discourage
theatrical undertakings, the crowd at Niblo's was
undluinished. Here the weather seemed to be put

The iudlcous interrnisson, too, afforded relief when
it WAS needed. Mr.. Gabriel appeared during the
