ADJUSTMENTS.

Denetit was rendered to Harry Everett,
the comedian Of the Memphis theatrical
company, but owing to the very incle-
ment weather, the attendance was not
large. Mr.. Everetts friends of the Gar
rick Club desire to offer more substan-
tial testimonial of their appreciation of
his merits, and have rendered him a
benefit. to which invitation Mr.. Everett
responds as follows:
MEMPHIS, April q, 1874.
Messrs. Eugene Lehman. Joseph Brooks,
Herman Waite. j. Stanley and others;
GEYTLEMEx-Your very kind and fat
tering communication, rendering me
complimentary benefit, is received with
feelings Of profound gratitude. | accept
your generous offer, and would respect
fully designate Monday evening, April
27th-the play OF Money to be repre-
scented on that occasion. Hoping these
views will receive your sanction and APP
prevail, am very respectfully yours,
W. Fl. EVERETT,
Manager Memphis Theater.
Harry Everett, outside of his gentle
manly qualities, which have won him a
host of friends in Memphis, is a clever
actor, and our dramatic critic takes
pleasure in recording the fact that dur
ing the past theatrical season he (Mr.
Everett has made every effort in his
power to please the public, and has
many time and oft succeeded. The
benefit on Monday evening next will
bring out the sterling play entitled
Money, and will put money in the purse
of the beneficiary, which he undoubt-
edly deserves.
CIRcUs.- Old Dan Rice holds the
bluffs against both the armed hosts Of
Baxter ard Brooks. Any Arkansian
can come over the river and visit his
show for fifty cents. Dan is philoso-
pher of the best ancient and modern
schools; his humor and wit are original
and amusing. he is show in himself,
but he also presents fine attractions with
his company of sawdust artists, who are
especially good in their respective lines
of business. The trained blind horse
Excelsior is a marvel OF the age, and
illustrates the fact that some brutes pos
sess instincts which are susceptible of
development to most extraordinary de-
gree of intelligence. Perhaps no horse
ever exhibited so much intelligence as
Excelsior, an animal that deserves the
attention Of all scientists. The gym
nastic performance, the flying trapeze
feats, as well as the somersaulting and
equestrianism Of Dan Rices showmen
are seldom equalled and not often sur
passed in the sawdust arena. We ad-
wise all citizens who wish to enjoy them
selves to attend Dan Rice's circus,
which will exhibit here at one o'clock
this afternoon and Tonight. Since his
last visit to Memphis, old Dan Rice, the
veteran Snowman, has made an extern
sive Southern tour, being received every
where in most appreciative manner,
and has enlarged and improved his
circus to most commendable degree of
perfection.

ents will be given away among the audi
ence. A fine bill will be presented, and
