PIpER's OPERA HousE-TnE FLYING
| ScuD."-A decided hit vas made last
evening at the Opera House, in the pro-
duction by Mr.. Wheatleigh, Of the
really interesting, amusing and sensa-
tional piece entitled the "Flyiug Scud."
It has never been played here before,
and the we'll filled house, with II well
pleased audience, attested TO its hearty
reception and welcome appreciation.
It is an exceedingly amusing and lively
piece throughout. The plot is good,
natural and easy, and with the excep-
ton of an occasional drag it passed of
last evening very smoothly and satisfac-
torily, showing evidence Of thorough re-
hearsal and close application. The new
scenery, painted by Hires, was very
good, and the machinery, by Ripping
ham, worked admirably. The orches-
ira, too, came in for II good!y share Of
commentator, performing some very
excellent and appropriate music, in
Guiding, among other pieces, the famous
and beautiful "Sunt1ower Scholastic"
whcatleigh's old fashioned jockey song,
in the third act, was capitally rendered,
and we'll received, and the dance by the
jockeys something highly peculiar, novel
and refreshing in its way. Wheatleigh
must have given those youngsters II
vast amount Of assiduous and persist
ent drilling to bring them to such II COM
meudable degree Of perfection rs that.
Il was done we'll and no mistake. In
point Of plot and true genuine artistic
acting, the Flying Scud" is far supe-
rior to " Under the Gaslight," although
partakiug less Of the sensational.
isFlying Scud" is u horse, n real live
horse, and he appears on the stage, too,
alive and triumphant, with old Nat
Gosling on his back at the conclusion
of the great Derby race. The charac-
tiers were all we'll sustained throughout,
and some Of them, particularly those
sustained by Wheatleigh, Willie Edouin
and Billy Robinson, were excessively
amusing. This excellent piece will be
repeated tonight, and We recommend 1t
to the critical attention Of all our APP
preciative theater goers. There is no
extra charge for reserved seats. Secure
them carly.

Jolly old soul-and puts us in mind OF

Plains to give the unterrified of the Pa

est countenance. Happening to stand

WITHDRAWAL. - Elder Gibson has
withdrawn as a candidate for Sheriff.,
and will be as before untiring in his ef-
forts for the success Of the man who
can poll the strongest Union vote. This
narrows the combat to Cummings and
Mulcahy. The former gentleman is II
resident Of Gold Hill, and the latter the
present incumbent Of the office. Our
friend Gibson will be n host in battle,
and aid more by his independency than
by being a candidate.
