grand, voluntary, popular tribute Of
homage to the acknowledged dramatic
queen, Of which Mrs. Bowers and her
hosts Of admiring friends could but
feel proud. Il was an ovatisn seldom

All tho alleyways, every place where
a chair or a stool could be placed, aud
every inch of sitting or standing room
was fully occupied, and numbers had
to be turned away from the door, not
being able to obtain admission at all.
Mrs. Bowers made her first appearance
at the Opera House, July 2, 1888, and
played until the 22d. Coming imme-
diately after the famous Barrett and
Mccullough ten nights engagement,
when the thsater was crowded each
evening, the engagement Of Mrs. Bow
srs was not so successful as IL would
otherwise have been, yet thus far on
the present occasion the homage due
to her transcendent genius as an ac-
trsss has been freely accorded. and her
engagement, though shsrt, promises to
be the most brilliantly successful OF
any In the theatrical annals Of Silver
land. Mere written words convey but
an inadequate idea Of the regal gran
deur and imperious force Of her imper-
sonation Of England's naughty Queen
Elizabeth. She throwsa fervent tire
Of earnest effectiveness Into tho rendi.
ton which magnetically thrills her
audience and induces wonder that so
much majestic power and d~elineative
force could exist within the compass
of a little woman like her. II she faith

that she does, we hardly wonder that
the equally proud-spirlted Earl OF Es-
sex rather preferred to face death than
the furious, tiger-like passion OF her
capricious love. Two oil three times
last evening was she called before the
curtain by the enthusiastic plandits OF
her audience. Mr.. McCollom, too. won
worthy laurels and plenty Of we'll de-
