| Tho weak has been ono Of unprecedented
dullness. Two houses Of Amusement only hA,s
I been open during the week, the Academy d

Tony PASTORS variety entertainment. This b.
ing the case, there Is absolutely nothing to eall
to mind except the benefit OF Fred Votes FL.

SUCCESS. M1. Brownell, OF the fremont Hopse,
deserves credit for the manner in which it VA
worked up Tuesday night, on account ot tha
fire, Pastor closed his house, thus losing GA
nights receipts.

out the desirableness OF theatres withoua
roofs for summer entertainments. Tho AdalpM
WAS the only theatre which has adopted the sug.
gestion. ME. Grover always WAS ready to avail
himself OF . hint, The change Was made mora
quickly than We imagined, though the immediate
expense to the management was not 80 great ~
it might have been. Mr. Grover Was IN New
York at the time OF the fro, looking
out Tor special attractions He has re-
turned now to build . theatre for hin"
self, and is debating Which q threa
sites to choose. Ons Of these is on Dearborn
street, between Washington and Madlsons
second at the corner OF Monroe and Dearborn;
and the third, best Of al, On Madison street,
east Of tho Breyoort House. One thing Is car
tain: his prestige IS brilliant manager -
tablshed.
