The CIty Amusomonts.

AT THE CHEsNuT a large audience was In
attendance last evening to witness the perform
ance of The Field of ne Ctom Of Gold by
the burlesque company headed by the lively
Mrs. j. A. Oates. This piece had such long
and successful run when 1t was produced at the
Gheenut last season, that the public are familiar
with It's characteristics, and 1t is not necessary
for us to 90 into particulars with regard to it.
The burlesque itself Is neither better nor worse
than some others that have been brought out in
this city of late but the filling in is more at
tractiye and It makes hrst-rate variety per-
formance. The present troupe is good one
but some of the performers who established
themselves in the favor of the public last season
are not equalled by the new corners. The varl-
~Ss features, however, that are introduced such
the Leon gymnasts, the cow-ben ringers, the
burlesque "Japs," the 'tumbleronicon" man,
and others, aid in exciting laughter and applause.
The troupe contains q number of excellent
vocalists, and the singing is more than usually
good.
Tae Field ofme Cloth Of Gold viii be repeated
this evening.
AT THE WALNUT Mr.. w. H. Bailey will have
a benefit this evening, when old Heads and
Young Hearts and Jonathan Bradford will be

by Mr.. Chapman, entitled THE Teetotal So
ciety," and the performance will conclude with
The Serious Family. Mr.. Hemphill has been
an efficient caterer for the amusement of the
public, and the success of the Walnut under his
management is an assurance that his efforts are
appreciated by the public. We hope that he
will have a crowded house tomorrow,
On Thursday Mr.. Simon Hassler will present
