boats that are unseaworthy or unsafe, are
responsible and guilty, both legally and

MAGuIRR's OPERA HousE.-Andrew
Cherry's beautiful comedy Of the "Sol-
dier's Daughter" was the principal dra-
matte feature at the Opera House last
evening, Miss Estelle Potter enacting the
character of Widow CHEEKY, the laughing,
winsome, dashing widow, to perfection.
Her conception Of the character Is excel

natural, ~cougenial and refreshing. George
Archer's Frank Heartall, Otto Burbanks'
Captain Charles, and Emma Miles Mrs.
Melfofs, were also very good. There was
besides this fine play, a capital entertain
ment in the way Of ballads, solos, dances,
ETC., including the brilliant and finely exc
cuted piano forte solo Of Fred. Herr, also
the inimitable cuckoo solo on the violin,
