FORD's OPERA HOUSE.

The "Prims Donna Of Night" was presented
at Ford's last evening to large sudience, con-
sidering the unpleasant state Of the weather.
Mrs Oates as Ernestine, exhibited all the sparkle
that has characterized her previous performances
this week, and quite captivatsd the audience BY
her nairefe and dash. The remainder Of the COM
pany rendered tho little lady sfncient support,
Mr.. Crane in particular being indeseriba bly,
amusing In the Dutch waiter. This afternoon the
Grand Duchess" 1. to be presented, and "For.

and their engagement bids fair to become the
most successful or the season.

Mrs. Westmoreland, the talented authoress of
"Heart Hungry" and "Cliford Troop" will de-

which both sexes are more or less acquainted.

the gentleman play " Dsvy Crockett" should I'm
prove one Of the two remaining opportunities.
The most refined need not hesitate to 70 and see
his admirable play, for it, story 10 pure and unob.
jectionable, and the moral It teaches 10 Is whole
the hero, has achieved one Of the Dramatic tn
umphs Of the age, and in the near future his name
will be rs widely known IN connection with "Davy

with Rip Van Winkle." We urge those who
have not seen the play or the actor to attend the

Rev. J. J. Kesne, the eloquent assistant pastor
Of st. Patrick's church, will lecture tomorrow
night at Lincoln hall, on the above novel and in
teresting subject, for the benefit Of st. AIMS In
FAINT Asylum in this city. Those who heard Father
Keane's recent beautiful lecture descriptive Of his
European tour will DO anxious to hear him ON the
suggestive theme that he has selected for TO-
morrow evening, and those who have not had the
pleasure Of hearing the reverend gentleman
should avail themselves Of this inviting opportu-
nifty. Apart from these considerations the charity
in behalf Of which the lecture Is to be delivered 70
one of the most deserving and needy In this city.
There are nowdn the asylum more than my In

the voluntary contributions Of the charitable for

Orleans Dramatic Association.

The summer season is now drawing nigh
and amateur theatricals are now in order
First to the front, par excellence come the
Orleans Dramatics by right Of Similarity and
general excellence.
Last night their otficers-elect for the en-
suing year were duly installed. The officers
are as follows: President, Charles F. Buck
vice president, J. j. Mellon recording
secretary, NJ. d. Gardner financial secre-
tary, E. NJ. Stella; treasurer, II. NJ. Zeigler
Henry Pickles was chosen stage manager,
and John Cairns librarian.
The ceremony of installation brought
about an informal going into the committee
of the whole, during which several toaste
were proposed and done honor to.
Pending the meeting there was ratified
the contract with Miss Louise Hawthorne
as leading lady for the coming season. The
committee on estimates was further en-
powered to close the engagement Of Miss
Minnie Doyle.
It was further decided that tie initial
performance of the summer season should
take place at the Varieties Theatre on Mon
day, the seventeenth Of May. The Three
Guardsmen" was the play chosen for the
occasion-a good play and one which will
test the powers Of the association in d melo-
dramatic point of view.

The Ouefa.

At the late hour at which we write q
simple announcement Of the programme
for the next performance is all that can be
expected. A future occasion must wait for
an extended notice of NJ. Feltlin gers benefit.
Tonight Gounod's grand opera Faust
will be presented, Nine. Fursch Nader sus-
tanning the role of Marguerite.
Thursday evening next NJ. Magyar, the
first bass Of the opera, takes his benefit. NJ.
Magyar is an artist most deserving. Since
his arrival here be has made many friends,
who wish him we'll. Independent of those
who know him personally, and par conse-
quence esteem him most highly, are the
general public, who are acquainted with
him Only as singer. This last class. and
they are numerous, look forward to NJ.
Mayan's benefit with a hope that he may
reap golden harvest.
Of NJ. Mayan's merits it is not now our
province to speak. He has assisted in
bringing out some of the most difficult pro-
ductions of lyric composers. Modest and
uuassuming, he commands at once our
esteem as a man and our admiration as an
artist. We trust that his benefit will be, as
IN deserves a. triunDh
