1.-THE Olympic re-opeEed last night with
Billy Emerson and his talented minstrel
company, which has been r~e0rganized and
strengthened, both in numbers and talent,
and is now, without doubt, the best or
ganization of the kind that ever visited

powers as a mimic and comedian, has

artists in their respective ~specialties, and
assist in keeping the large and apprecis-

orchestra, under the direction OF
Mr.. Boyd, is one of the best we have ever |
heard, n the whole entertainment is of
rare excellence. The company has drawn
houses since the opening night, |
