ADJUSTMENTS



This renowned troupe made their first
appearance ct the Opera House last night,
to one of the largest audiences ever seen
within that building, and thanks to those
In charge Of the building, and the attentive
ushers, the building was comfortable, and
everything conducted in tho best order. TO
say that the famous Cal Wagner Is at the
head of good. company, viii not expr ess
by half It's merits, for 1t has the deserved
reputation of being thu very best now
travelling, and by the way, one OF the largest,
combining excellence In both vocal and in
strumental. Among the vocaiists, the names
of. w. Freeth, Albert yelling and Charles
yelling, may be mentioned, as q trio Of
artists not often found In any one compa-
ny, while Cal. Wagner and Sam Prizes do
up the comic handsomely. After the first
part the audience was favored with an olio
which was e-spftting from beginning to
end. The songs and dances by Garfield.
and Booker, Jr. were never equalled In the
country, while Cal. Wagner's Plantation
Melodies are so natural that you can i'm
agine yourself at an cid-fashioned corn
shocking. Fred Wilson. in his Grecian
Statues, and Ben Brown In his champion
liz, are also deserving of special mention.
the company will remain two nights
longer.
Sol SMITH RUssEIL.--Masonic Hall
last night was not SO well filed as it should
have been, but the far-famed Russell had
an audience that was both select and APP
preciative. The programme of Mr.. Russell
was divided into three parts-tirst, facial
delineations; second, characters from every
&1.luI fr.ll-os In oil ofy Uhiah hA
merited the enthusiastic applause of all.
Mr.. Russell in his particular line is without
an equal in the country, and his entertain
ments are of the most pleasing character.
His lecture on Woman's Rights Is alone
worth the price of admission, while his IA
cial limitations, bis sudden changes from
grave to gay, and his faithful repre-
sensations of familiar characters
have made him the reputation Of being
6rst-class in his role. Mr.. Russell gives his
last entertainment tonight. Let the house
be filed.
PATTI MARIO CoNCERrs.-The coming
concerts announced by the world renowned
Strskosch, are now all the talk, and promise
to be equally as brilliant as any similar en-
tertainments that have occurred in this city
for years. We notice in advance the same
furore that heralded the famous Niilson,
and there seems to be as much anxiety to
see and hear Patti, the concert queen as
the gifted Nilsson. We notics from the
Cincinnati Commercial that the first con-
eers in that city took the audience by storm.
Following the programme from the OPEN
ing piece, that paper thus refers to Patti as
follows:
"Then came the event of the evening,
the execution of the famous shadow song
from Dinorah, by Carlotti Patti. 1t is, per
haps, the most difficult In execution of all
the songs of Msyerbeer he was co N.
poser of leisure, and wrote only for the ex-
ceptional artists of time to come. 1t is in
this kind of composition that Carlotta Patti
shines conspicuously above all competitors.
The notes came flashing from her lips with
that rapidity aud distinctness that is hers
slone-as bright and bewilderiDg as the
rays that shot from the diamonds blazing
from her hair, arms, throat and bosom.
The applause followed like q panic and
prolonged itself until she came again to the
toot-lights, and sang rich swelling encore
song, with sympathetic Voluptuousness of
voice which was complete, though COM
prehensive answer to those Of her critics
present, who say there is no f'soul" in her
singing. There is "soul" In her singing,
and there is "heart" toe; but necessarily it
is not manifested in the "Ombre Legere,"
and such kindred songs for which the pub
lie clamor from Csrlotta Patti, simply be-
cause no one else can execute them"
This will suffice for this morning. We
will in future notice introduce other celebri-
ties belonging TO this company.
