NIBLos GARDEN.-The third and last OF the fare
well performances OF the combined "Black Crook"
and ''whte Fawnn ballots was given last evening at
Nblo's Garden before large and enthusiastic audi
ence. Everything in or out Of the programme was
most vocferousy appauded from the silliest piece
OF by-play OF the actors to the more graceful and
more deserving pirouetting OF prenlieres ddnseses.
The queens of the ballet they made their entrance
upon the stage, one at time, were hailed with ac-

and smiled again and again, until the applause and
enthusiasm which they had evoked had in measure

no difference whatever with the s'old guard" who
were usual on duty. and who shouted and clapped
at everything arrayed in abbreviated costumes which
presented itself before the fOotlights; and ungainly
and comey alike have now the proud satisfaction OF
having received ovation. All the old favOrttes put
