from Hooley's Opera House, Brooklyn,
performed at Library Hall last evening
before a select and delighted audience,
and, if we may judge from the amount
of applause they received, gave excel
lent satisfaction. For real cleverness,
vocal excellence and good taste, the
new troupe under the direction of Mr..
Jackson, compares very favorably with
any other company travelling. The
selections last evening were finely rem
dered and repeatedly encored. Fun,
frolic and pathos were scattered about
with lavish hand. We do not know
of troupe more chaste in their admi-
rable performances. They deserve en-
couragement, every one of the pertor-
mers acting like gentlemen. They
play at Railway on Monday night This
is their first week out.
