Side places have fallen of, not being assisted in
q corresponding degree. The steam trains on
State street, running each way every hour until
II o'clock, the increased number Of horse cars
and stages, and the Hyde Park train, run with
especial reference to amusement patrons, alto
gether furnish facilities for evening trans-
portation nearly ample for all who desire
to attend the theatres. But the lack Of
means Of transit is not the only drawback
operating against managerial prosperity. The
check sustained by all branches OF business in
consequence Of the horse disease has induced a
temporary spasm OF economy among all classes,
and there is a general willingness to stay at
home nights, which the strongest attractions
elsewhere would be poWerless to counteract

this city, of late years, but for one engagement

Of 871,-but, On that OCCASION, she achieved o
reputation which has subsequently, proved Of

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
After two weeks OF leg epidemic, the Academy
OF Music has recovered it's health, and this week
will offer to their patrons something more to
their liking something which at least has the
merit OF being new, and striking, too, according
to report. Miss Charlotte Thompson will appear
tomorrow night in her famous play of Zone
Wife," supported by the regular company, in
cluding Mr. Milton Mobiles, who will make his
first appearance. Miss Thompson comes highly
recommended as an actress whose merits and

Cities The play of 'One Wife" has been
somewhat sharply criticised BY tho Eastern
press, on account of its questionable morality
has doubtless had much to do with its
great SUCCESS, for while it was the subject
OF few disparaglng comments on its naughtl-
ness, its dramatic merit Was generally conceded,
and, being a naughty play ana powerful play,
Of course everybody wanted to see it.
