REVIEW OF ADJUSTMENTS.


from the heat during the last week, and the die
content Of managers with expensive companic
has not diminished at all. There has bee
| cause for gsumbing ouly In the waywardness G
Fortune, and the disregard Of people for indoc
sutrocation. The great Eource Of disgust Va
the cornerstone ceremony, which, while
brought glory On some, worked disappointment
to others. Managers looked forward to the Ga
with calm ASSURANCE Of at least two 1arg
houses for the week,-tho matinee and eyenin
performances Of Wednesday. But With the OF
stinacy Of her sex, Fortune kept the cerc
monies up till after the hour pro6tabl
for matinee, and by the time the crowd dis
persed the pisces at the various theatres wer
nearly finished. The Wednesday matinee na
disappointing all round. The scenes OF las
year's jubilee we're not repeated, and eTen q
night the theatres were comparatively deserted
It is not difficult to account for this state OF 1T
fairs, and managers partly deserve the con
sequences. AS q rule our theatres are not i:
well ventilated as they might be, 0. rs people
have delighted to think them Our evenings
are generally cool, but the theatres do not
too small to be OF any service, and
natural ventilation is evidently insufficient

rapidly enough in summer to keep the audience

at the unfortunate "Wednesday matinee, when
sMonsleur A1phonse" was repeated We have
! already expressed at length our favorable opln-

tanned the respective parts. It needs only to Be
said that such performance is 2s nearly perfect
a. anything ne can desire to see. There ID Little
in it for the most exactiEg critic to take e1cep-
ton to-. and Tast amount TO remember Wlth
satisfaction. Charity was better played than
any other drama yet presented by Mr. DAILY, and
