The city Amusements.

The Black Crook will be performed this even
ing. Those who saw The Black Crook when 1t
was produc ed in this city few seasons ago can
form no adequate idea of the brilliant spectacle
now in possession of the boards of the Academy.
The scenery, the costumes, and all the appoint
ments are Of the most gorgeous description, and
far surpass anything of the kind ever seen here
before, while the incidental features, which have
no connection with the drama but which are
the great attractions of the exhibition, are novel
and exceedingly entertaining The ballet is
particularly fine, but it is surpassed in interest
by the extra ordinary performances of the Ma
iiltons, the funny evolutions of the skaters
Keynoch ard Schmidt, and other attractions
which must be seen to be appreciated.
