departs for Europe on the borrowing saturday Her
career In America has been one OF unprecedented
success and she will leave our shores with the best
wishes Of all classes OF our citizens whom she has
delighted for nearly nine months with her ncompar-
able roles In opera oou6e. Her benefit on Thursday
night promises to be made gala occasion, and the
Academy OF Music win no doubt be crowded to its
utmost capacity. The new operette by Ofenbach
entitled "Lischen and Fritzchen," Will be produced
upon this OCCASION together with the first act OF la
Grande Duchesse" and the second act OF "La Belle
Helene" In all OF which Tostee will sustain the prin
cpal characters. With the farewell OF Tostee the
first season of OPERA oonGe In America comes to an
end, and Manager Bateman can congratulate himself
upon having inaugurated new era in American
theatricals which has proved successful beyond
precedent.
Rist0ri likewise claims q share OF the public favor
at her farewell benefit on Thursday evening at the
French theatre, when she will appear for the last
time before an American audience; for Ristori, like
Tostee, leaves for Europe on Saturday next. 1t is
to be regretted that the farewell benefit OF both
favorites occurs on the same night. inasmuch as
they might be said to play to the same audiences,
and as the public would like to show their appre-
citation OF both artists by turning out in force on
such occasions; but as both bid farewell to New
Workers and America on the same night the patron
age and the honors Of our citizens will have to be d.
vided as evenly as possible between them, the only
difficulty being which to choose between. Nine AIDE
laide Ristori's in America, under the manage
ment OF Mr.. Grau, has been magnificent triumph
and will doubtless be regarded by her OF the
happest and proudest episodes in her professional
life. Her last appearance upon the boards at the
French theatre will be her three hundred and eighty
eighth representation given during aperiod OF seven
teen months between the United States and Havana.
Medea Of the French theatre for the benefit Of the
American Dramatic Fund Association Aside from
the great tragedy and the unequaed tragedienne
who assumes the title role, the object or the enter
tainment Is in itself worthy OF the patronage Of the
public, and will Enthusiastically attract full house.
Besides the entire tragedy OF Medean the third act
OF marie Stuart" will be given upon the same even
ing, with Nine. Ristori interpreting all the char
acters.
At the Broadway theatre "a Flash OF Lightning Is
running as smoothly as "streak of creased light
ning' could be supposed to glide. The play Is i'm
proving rs 1t grows older and abounds in startling
local scenes situations and incidents OF every day
life which alone are sufficient to insure for it long
and q brilliant run. Miss Kitty Blanchard and Miss
Blanche Grey the heroines OF the piece nightly
growing In the estimation OF the public and have
already succeeded IN estabsnng themselves as Ia
possesses all the requisite ingredients Of local SCH
satona play, from ragged street urchins to design
ing vains and the representation Of the burning
of a Hudson river steamer ia but one OF the many
scenes that cause the audience to hold their breath
''The Lottery OF Life" at Wallack's Ia still draw
ing good houses Mr.. Brougham claims that this play
Is photograph OF New York, and he is certainly not
far astray II the portrayal Of everyday life con.
Lottery OF Life deserves to be CLASSIFIED near the
head Of that modern school. The interesting story
ing complications and surprises 80 nicely contrived
that the audience never weary OF the acting fan
to become deeply interested In the fortunes and ad-
ventures OF the dra,ndtis pers0n1.
"humpty Dumpty' as reconstructed, Is meeting
, with Immense success at the Olympic. Many i'm
provements and alterations have been made in the
pantOmime and many new tricks have been added
the already plethoric stock where 1t was thought
impossible to add another single Interesting feature.
As yachting and explosions are now the order OF the
day 'Humpty Dumpty' INDUCES In both pastimes
al one and the same time, and Is sent living through
the air In the most approved manner. The new
cancan by Mile. Sangaii and Humpty Dumpty Foxn
is not only amusing and lively, but delicate and
pleasing.
"The White Fawn" Ia now on Its last legs at
Niblo's and will soon be Withdrawn altogether to

toes and groves for few nights longer, and will then
he away 70 cooler retreats among genuine suburban
