AMUSEMENTS.

THE MEMPHIS THRArER.-Terenee's
Oath was the piece at the rheater last
night. 1t was admirably put upon the
stage. Generally, the actors and actresses
acquitted themselves well. Considering
their brief acquaintance with our theateT-
going public, and the fact that all about
them Is strange and new, they did well,
and supported Miss Josephine Fiddes and
Mr.. Dominick Murray handsomely. OF
the acting Of the former it is only fair to
say that 1t was spirited and admirable.
Her brogue was not quite up to the real
Irish score, but Der appearance and man
ner made up fully for this defect; and her
"Oonah O'Hallaran " was, barring a little
over-dressing, indeed a too STACEY sort of
dressing, q representation well worth
looking at. Dominick Murray's "Ter-
ence FInigan " was one of the most truth
full portrayals of Irish character we have
ever witnessed. His brogue was "Irish
to the life" clear and musical, enough so
to convey an idea of the indescribable
charm that the brogue really gives to the
voice. A sterling actor, Mr.. Murray does
not condescend to the depths Of Florence
or Barney Williams, both whom are re-
sponsible for a popular conception of the
Irish character totally az variance with.
what 1t really is. Mr.. Murray, as "Fini-
gan, y presented all the lights and shades
of an Irish PEASANTS life-his Wit, his hu-
NOR, his deep pathos, his heartiness, his
fidelity, his religious .fervor and 1--we of
country. His wit WAS sparkling Or incl
sive, rs occasion called for, wlale his
heart, like thatsof a true Irisbmen, was
always in the right place. Murray, if he
shall continue in the Irish line, viii de-
stroy the effectiveness of those who pre-
tend 10 6ll the places of Powers and Col
Inns, and while he will reform, the stage
will lift the Irish character and name
from the wallow In which 1t Is usually
and disgracefully depicted.

the grand combination composing the en-
ertainment OF the Crescent City Circus,
now located on the Orphan Asylum lot,
which will surpass in briliiancy anything
1.-THE kind ever before attempted in Gin
cinnati. The company connec ed with
his establishment is the best ever had in
this city, and needs only 10 be seen TO be
appreciated. a sensation will be created
in the evening, when the entire company
appears in elegant costumes and gorgeous
trapping. shields, lances, banners, and ali
the desirable accessories Of the grand
spectacle Of the Tournament, or Field of
the Cloth OF Gold, requiring fhy Ladies'
and Gentlemen at one time in the ring.
The fitting for rings, the combats, throw
ing Of the javelin and the meeting Of the
While and Black Knights to the browning
of the victorious Knight, Is so BEAUTIFULLY,
faithfully represented, that the audience
Is carried back to the days Of chivairy.
Never was anything before offered in the
arena so beautiful or so grand. The effect
Is magnificent, and the mammoth tent
with its brilliant and numerous Jets Of
gas, its parti-colored decorations, the in
spring music of q capital orchestra, and
the various Knights arrayed in armor of
FURNISHED steel. with their steeds equip
ped with gilded ornaments and appro-
priste trappings, and thoroughly trained
and disciplined to the sports of the arena,
cannot fail to elicit the liveliest enthu-
siasm.
Master Wooda Cook electrihes his audi
ences by the manner In which he per-
forms. Utterly regardless of danger, he
accomplishes the most p~erilous feats, and
wins the loudest applause from thousands
Of his admirers. The original and difficult
feat, the cripple bar act" by the VIII
sons, will also be introduced on this Occa-
sion. Too much praise cannot be awarded
TO the Company for the splendid leaping.
The double somersaults OF Lewis Wilson,
the extraordinary leaping Of Mr.. McCar-
thy, and the varied and graceful eyolu-
ton of this mammoth alliance and great
double-chsllenge troupe are the very po-
etry of lite and motion. The principal act
ofMr. Barclay was superb, and he gives
promise of being a leading ornament in
his profession. indeed, the whole per-
formance is so commendable that too
much ann be said in its favor; and we
advise all our readers TO embrace the op-
portunities that will be offered this week
TO witness one Of the finest combinations
that has ever visited this part Of the coun-
try.
