THE THKATEES.-'s The Wicked World >,
Gilb6Tt's unique fairy comedy. was performed
for the first time at FOrd's Opera House last
night. IL Is ingenious in construction. and the
dlction is worthy of the argument, though
rather stilted at times; bat the vital defect OF
the Play IL want of action. Then, too. the
mOrtalS are rather unfair moral specimens of
humanity. and the fairies seem TO be infected
with All the worst and none of the best pas
siOns which grow ont Of and follow the Develop
ment of earthly love. Mr.. and Mrs Charles VI.
Walton gave artistic impersOnatOns of the lead
ing characters. and were ably supported bv
strong company. Mrs. Walton is a good elocI-
Zionist, and msde the most of her role of the
fairy queen in love. "The Wicked World"
again TO- night.
The story Of &c Fnoch Arden ia 50 familiar
that IL requires some NOVELTY in the manner of
presenting II TO excite fresh interest. The dra-
matte version of the story performed at the
National theater last night follows TennySon's
poem clio ely. but the impersOnatiOn of the hero
by Mr.. Edwin Adams Is so naturally done tn
the sympathy of the audience Is aroused for the
suffering husband. and keeps with him TIL the
end. Mr.. Adams is well supported, and the
play is beautifully mounted.
The novel performances of the .Iackley troupe
pleased large audience at the Thea'er
Comique last night, and there is hut little
doubt they will draw good houses through the
week.

cipal singers of the StrakOsch troupe, Aimee
and other musical celebrities were present to
bid him adieu. Ii Is limited, by the way, that
the reason Mr.. Strakosch concluded to dispense
with Maure's services was that a strong alta III
ment was sprlnging up between the baritone

Louise Cary; all of which, If true, Miss Cary
may be forgiven, inasmuch as almost every
young woman in New York is in love with
Maurel. But the trouble was, il the gOssips

heart Of Strakosch has had for a long tiIns a

The usual daily Temperance meetings were held
yesterday in this city. The exercises at the
Congregational church, at 30 u. m. were very
Interesting. Rev. George A. Hall led the ser
vices, and the time was occupied with short

for five drinking mothers. Very earnest prav-
