PrrER's OPERA HOUSE, o6ody's

last evening In the way OF attracting
an audience, the dress circle being
nearly empty and the ~parquette not
much better. We do not recollect of
so slim q house since the "Carter
Dramatic Troupe" Garter and wife,
played Lucrezid Borgid with a full
cast, except the next evening, when
they announced to play Othelo, but
concluded not to, there being only
about three dollars and six bits in the
house. 1t was q poor idea repeating
such a trashy dramatization as No6ody's
Daughter. Such things never win with
a Washoe audience. This point, how
ever, Is, We think, now sufficiently
perceptible to the management. We
do not care to criticise the piece any
further at present, except merely to
say that Miss Prices persoRation Of
the French girl, In the fourth act, is
neither we'll conceived nor good. 1t
is pleasing enough. but incorrect and
overdone-too badly broken English
and too injudiciously sarcastic alto
gether. We will also take occasion
right here to suggest to her a little
closer study Of pronunciatory elocu-
tion-such words as "keyind" for
kind, ~"skeeyi" for sky, and too much
OF the sab" terminus to certain other
words, belong only to boarding school
English. We are not disposed to be
hypercritical, but merely throw out
these little hints free of cost on this
particular occasion. Miss Prico Is,
rs we have before remarked,
one of the best actresses ever
appearing upon that stage, and being
so young and talented, a broad field Of
future tame In the highest walks Of the
drama lies before her. This evening
she will appear to true and proper ad-
vantage in the beautiful new drama Of
Jane Eyre, or the Orphan Of Lonood,
personating the title character, sup
ported by the talented actor, j. F.Cath-
cart rs Lord Rochester" and a pow
erful cast. The theater cannot fail to
be crowded, let the weather be what 1t
may.
Ice SUPrLIEs.-At Dayton, Washoe,
Reno, and also at the north Of Vir-
ginia, parties are engaged In storing
up large quantities Of ice for use next
season. Foster, the we'll known ice
man. has been especially energetic in
that respect, and the chances are that
ice will be both plenty and cheap. In
the Sierra Nevada, at Boca and Sum-
nit Valley, the Sacramento Record
says two companies arc engaged In
storing ice for the supply Of the Cali
fornia and Nevada demand. L. A.
Doane & Co. have already in store
many thousands Of tons, which will
be, Mt the proper season, shipped to
Winnemucca and places further east
ward. The Summit Ice Company have
packed away upward of ten thousand
tons, ready to forward in this direction
when demanded. Such arrangements
have been made that, during next
Summer, all the overland trains will
be kept in abundant supply Of Ice for
the water tanks.
