audiences to the theater every evening.
The performance given by these chill
dren iron the land of the Tycoon and
Daimios is Of a most interesting and en-
Pertaining character. The girls of Yeddo,
whom Train decribes so graphically,
perform each evening on the swinging
bamboo poles and wire rope, the latter
performance being wonderful, the walker
traversing, whirling and lying down on
a wire rope and using an umbrella as a
balance-pole. The legerdemain tricks
are novelties in this cline, while the
bamboo, ladder, top-whirling and top
spinning tricks are superior to anything
exhibited by any other troupe. The
everlasting fan is used on all occasions
and under all circumstances by these
descendants of the Mongol Tartars. The
Japs" will give grand entertainment
this evening, a matinee tomorrow, and

brought herself within the rightful sphere
of criticism, and has, of course, received
from society nothing but praise. And
that this has been deserved no one who
heard her on Monday evening can doubt
A more charming drawingroom singer

sire to hear. Neither is there anything
left to be desired in the matter of vocal
ization. Ascending and descending the

cate ease and finish than by her. The
