,ghe EaU Drnaa.ic Campaign.

From present appearances The fall dramatic
campaign bids fair to be one of the most bril-
liant in the recollection of The thcaire-goegs OF
this city. The managers OF the several
theatres are now beginning TO realize the fact
that Gcst class entertainments viii be sustained
and well patronized. Not alone TO dramatic
representations proper viii this apply, but to
al species Of amusements. The grand success
realized by Carlo,ta Patti ought to be sufli-
cicntly convincing that artists Of acknowledged
ability will meet warm welcome By orr cit-
zcna. PATHS triumph On Saturday night last
was an achievement OF which she NAV he Justly
proud. Coming 10 III with her wei-oarned
laurels from Europe fresh upon her brow. she
fairly carried New York by storm, and The
unanimous verdict OF al enrapiured audience
hailed h'r as queen of song whose equal has
not been heard here since the days Of Ma!ibran.
and whose advent in our midst calls to raind
the Juror aud enthusiasm created by the
! Swedish songstress, Jenny Lind, in days of
pleasant memory. Parepa- Rosa, too, with an
excellent troupe, is also making The hearts Of
New Workers glad with ENGLISH opera. Taken

the drama then, and its success was insured
