have to apply soon. as the event comes of
on the 2lst of this month. From all we
can learn of the arrangements made for

tlemen who have been selected to supcrin-
tend il, we are of the opinion that the draw

and that the holders of tickets need have
no fears OF being swindled. We extract
the following from a late number of the
Chicago Times.

tlemen who are to he present as n commit

The OPERA HoUsE.-The theater- going
public will be gratifled to learn that the
distinguished trayYdian, Mr.. Mexican Blu
chanan, and hf s'eomplished daughter.
Miss Virgni9 Ireds Ran, will commence
an engagement at tfsUa tSC, Opera House on Mon
day evening next, on which occasion Mr.
Buchanan will appear in his great charac-
ter of Richelieu,' with Miss Buchanan as
"Julie de Mortimer" From the high char
acter of these celebrated artistes, our citi-
zens may justly anticipate dramatic en-
tertainment of rare excellence. Mr.. b. is |
pronounced, on the highest authority. as |
among the first actors on the American |
stage. The following announcement from
the other side of the Atlantic will corrobo- |
rate this statement:

Mr.. BUCHANAN's MACBETH.-There are
occasions when criticism halts at some great |
artistical work presented for analysis. |
Such is Buchanan's Macbeth as rendered |
last evening. A stupendous work, vast in
conception and powerful in execution, The |
dramatic art has gained new impulse by |
such bold and startling delineator; and |
what the people have been taught to be-
lieve, heretofore, to be the perfection of
stage knowledge failed before the impress
slons made, stamped and fixed by the supe-
rlor skill displayed by this actor. His vast
physical and corresponding mental resour-
ces, seldom so happily united, must place
him prominently before those who can
judge of great works of art. The loud ap-
plause that greeted Mr.. Buchanan at the
conclusion of several scenes last night
stamped him as successful delineator of
Macbeth.
