who throughout the entire evening evidenced their
appreciation at the careful manner In which IL was
placed upon the STAGE Fortunately no rowdy bailiis
armed with wr!ts and pistols, marred the complete
harmony which prevailed, although, indeed, many
would not have been surprised In witnessing
repetition OF the outrages which success
sively have disgraced the minions OF the law.
Moreover tho injunction issued by Judge Bar
nard restraining the manager OF the Broadway
theatre from performing the joint composition OF
Messrs Reade and Boucicault was judiciOusly and
respectfully compiled with and the play, Us written
by Boucicault alone, was successfully performed. At
the termination OF the FIRST act which admirably
gone through, Mr.. d. II. Earkins came before the
curtain amid tremendous cheering, and In o few ap
propriate remarks returned thanks for the public
sympathy which had been accorded him. In ODE
dience to the order OF the Court he said the manager
had abandoned "Foul Play'' as produced else
where and had substituted Dion Boucicaus's
"Foul Play" which was performed OF
the Holborn theatre, London, and of which
he held a printed copy. Mr. Harkns then re-
