clan, was produced at the Academy of Music,
New York, on Monday evening, under the
management Of the WOrrellSlste The Herald
critic does not think mucn of 1t, judging from
the following
''The piece abounds with absurd interviews
between number OF politicians OF u pettifog-
sing stripe, strikers and several ridiculous
creations OF the authors imagination, whom
he has been pleased TO designate AS editors and
proprielors OF newspapers. The scene. for some
The story is one of love and polItics-especially
politics. The plot, briefly told, and SO lar as il
can be disceIned, is that Dung heiress has the
misfortune to beEthe niece OF an uncle who is
badly beaten as q candidate for election

OF his friends. Florence Hampton, the
heiress, is desperately In love with George
burke, young politician, and editor of
The Pioneer, and Is supposed to take satisfac-
lion by buying out that Journal through whose
influence her uncle was defeated, presenting it
to Burke and-marrying him. The comedy (?)
was destitute of coherency of dialogue or merit
OF any description, and the audience sat pa
tieptly through nearly two acts, expecting
something TO develop. AT last they began TO
leave in twos and threes, and the third act was
Vociferously Missed TO its close, when twothirds
OF the spectators left the house. Almost every
one was asking, What is the plot?' bat no
one could tell. Nearly all the new sensations al
plays depend for success not so much upon the
sutho- as upon scenic artists and maohinlsts,
but 1868 lacked any feature of even mediocre
interest in this line"
AT the Bowery Theatre, New York, there
was produced on Monday evening new four
act nautical drama entitled Fair Play; or, The
ShlP~rech Of the Fdlcon, The plot of the play is
simple and is based on the saving from an ad-
