little advantage, and a great improve
ment can he detected in his presenta-
ton Of the role, when compared with his
appearance in this city few years ago.

the hands of rip" does not strike the
critic as in keeping with the spirit of
the plot. The mountain scene, where the
spirits of Hendrick Hudson" and his
followers appear was excellent, as was
the awakening from the twenty years
sleep" In this latter scene Mr.. Nc.
Wade was loudly applauded, deserved
tribute to nice piece of acting. To-
night Rip Van Wrinkle will again be
produced.
