all the specialists appear there and will during
the week. Among these are Mons. and Mile.
Emoclew, who exhibit on the double trapeze the
greatest SIKH and daring. The ease with which
they perform the most difficult fests relieves the
apprehension Of disaster, but the audience is al
ways glad when they are safely through. The
performance opens with parlor entertainment.
and in Nelson (bones) and Schefer (tsmbo) they
have two excellent end men, who, during the
day, will give portion Of their time to the study
Of wit. Sheridan's best jokes were carefully
studied up beforehand, and .end men" make

The "Gray hairs Of My Mother was prettily
sung by Miss Laura Harrison. and Miss Georgie
Brown, In rendering "Sadie Ray" was three

welcome her back again, and to demand several
songs after that. Harry NJ. Parker brought In
his troupe Of educated dogs. They are wonder
quired something very near the reasoning faculty.
Miss Tfllie Russell, Mississippi brunette and
new candidate for Washington favor. afforded
real pleasure with her new songs and dsshing
style. The hornpipes and medleys Of tho Harri-
son sisters the Ethiopian act Of Nelson and Scnef
pastimes, &C., were all good, and then came John
Le Clair's grotesque hat-spinning and juggling
act. This is an attractive feature. "Wsshington
After Dark" included In the cast the greater part
Of the company. 1t revealed what the "young
things" have seen when they ought to have been
proved style the Can-Can-s dance which the
public never seems to see enough Of, and which Is
too ethefial and beautiful to be described In the
language Of mortals.
