NEW YORK CTRcus.-The performances at this
popular r,sort last night were varied altogether
excellent The enterprise Of the manager In pro-
viding new attractions before the public had time to
tire OF the pieces already presented has borne an
abundant harvest OF applause and greenbacks The
building was quite crowded last night by q most
respectable audience and the applause which greeted
the different performers gave abundant evidence OF
appreciation. The decorations in this circus have
been referred TO before In terms Of commentator
and the dresses OF the performers have been men,
toned IN praise. In fact, there Is nothing tawdry
or second hand in the arrangements In this estab-
lshment every article being OF the best description
The several artists who made their bow last night
acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction OF the
audience. II will do no harm, however, to remind
the clown tMr. Wllliams) that people cannot be
pected to laugh very heartily at Jokes as Old as
themselves Something wOud ha
acceptable. The exercises on the horizontal bar"
by the Levantine Brothers, the. comic still act'
formances OF the dog Fanny were warmly applauded,
~ they deserved TO be. The "Chinese Festival, or
Feast OF Lanterns" concluded the entertainment.
HooLEY's MINsTRgLs, BRooKLYN.-Now that the

quiet after the excitement Of the political canvass
the patrons Of Hooleys Opera House, whose name

very numerous attendance at Hooley's. who wit

hUoLE1sS bkOOhLNN w. D.l OPERA HOLSE.-
Three weeks OF successful management OF the cosey
little establishment on Fourth street. Williamsburg
devoted almost exclusively to the calculation OF the
mysteries OF the inner life OF the dominant racen on
this Continent, has satisfied Mr.. Hooley that some
things can be done az well as others. Even during
the earlier days OF this week. when torchlight pro-
cesslons ana political mass meetings were the
rage, this gentleman managed to make hts house
more than pay Its expenses: and the reason TO- this
lay I'm the vital fact that his bill OF entertainments WIN
cluster OF stars TO hep 1t THROUGH was perfectly
irresistible. The programme for this week IL most
attractive one, and II Is only necessary TO mention
the names OF some OF the more prominent OF the
troupe to satisfy even the creduious people OF its
strength and the variety OF fun ana music which
the residents or that notable city. that was) have at
their very doors almost, thus saving them the
trouble Of making long voyages on the East river to
New York in search OF amusement:-Profes
O'Reardon, who performs some curious tricks with
comedian and banlolst; the great Ricardo, singer
OF good ability; and in addition to these may be
named other gentlemen well known TO the public as
tmpersonators OF negro characters, Arehy Hughes.
