NEW METRoPoLITAN. - There was
a good attendance at the theatre on
Saturday night, which was the ocoa-
sion Of Manager Goldens benefit.
The playing was very good consider
ing the many disadvantages under
which Mr.. Golden. has bad to labor
in the reorganization Of his company,
and he was loudly applauded in every
act. The play Of the Robbers, or
the Forest of Bohemia, is not one
that is likely to have a great run in
this city. There are too many scenes
in it which are both. unnatural and
unlikely to occur at all. Of the reel
tatioh Of " Richmond on the Jeenls, "
little need be said except that little
of it goes long ways.
To- night Mrs Golden will reappear,
in the favorite play, The Child Of
the Regiment" personating the char
acter of Josephine, the whole to con-
clude with The Maid of the Milking
Pail" Mr.. Holland and Miss Fife
Johns have both been re-engaged,
and will appear to night. Mr.. Golden
has secured a strong combination Of
talent, and it is hoped that his efforts
to present the public with such plays
as will be both instructive and anus
ing, will be properly appreciated.
The house ought to be filled on the
occasion Of Mrs. Cts temperance.
Secure seats early.
