"Elfe, or the Cherry-tree Inn,'' was pre-
| sented last night for the first time to a good
audience. This play is great improve
ment upon "Alma,' the play of the opening
night. 'Elfe" is a capital piece, both in its
stage effects and in the plot and sentiment.
It will grow in popularity every night it is
played. As there are but three nights more
OF the present company organization, those
who wish to see 'Eltie" will do well to Sc
cure seats early. Miss Lille Eldridge, Mr..
Hill, Miss Hawthorne and Messrs Mortimer,
Pike, Morton and others, were severally
cast in characters better suited to their
talents than in the former piece. A very
pleasant impression was left in the minds of
an attentive and critical audience.
The grand drawing of the single number
tickets in the Louisiana State Lottery will
take place tomorrow, at eleven o'clock
A. NJ. over the rooms of the company, cor
ner of St. Charles and Union streets. The
public is requested to witness the drawing.
When we reflect that there are only two
thousand numbers, that the tickets are only
twenty dollars each, and that any one of
our readers who buys a twenty dollar ticket
is liable to win the capital prize of fifty
thousand dollars, we must acknowledge
that momentous events are involved in the
single number ticket drawings of the Louisi-
ana State Lottery. He or she who draws
the prize must confess that the Louisiana
state Lottery is a public benefactor. scat
terlng prizes along the wayside of life with
generous lberality. In these times when
the cotton crop is partial failure. and Gal
weston has walled out New Orleans. men
are thankful for little fifty thousand dollar
investments.
