SOdaIity Dramatic Association.
The S9dslity dramatic association will
give an entertainment at their hall on WASH
ington street tonight, which we are assured
will be of the most interesting character.
Their entertainments heretofore have been Of
such degree OF excellence as 70 eliclt Ihe nigh
est praises ever accorded amateur performers,
and we doubt not those who attend tonight
will be very agreeably entertained
Prof. MueIYer's Academy.
Prof William Mueller arrived yester-
day from Louisville, and tomorrow after
the Memphis Club hall, over the postoffice,
corner OF Second and Union streets. His
many Memphis friends, will be, pleased to
know that he will remain several
months in Memphis and again afford an OPP
portunity to learn all the leading and fashion
able dances. TIE public are invited to attend
the grand inaugural matinee tomorrow after
noon; Good music has been provided for the
occasion.
The Theater.
Mr.. Ben DeBar appeared last night to
foSr ufa in
To say that he sustained his reputation In the
performance of a part that is his by divine
right, is merely to repeat what we have be-
fore had to say of him and the public expect
of him. Not TO see him in that inimttable
role is TO lose good thing that a lifetime may
only once reveal. Tonight he appears as
"Micswber," personatiOn that is one of the
best of his TepOTtoire-in nothing inferior to
his "Fat Jack" The house ought to be crowd
ed from pit to dome.
Dan Rice'sEShOw.
Dan Rice, the great Snowman, has
been on the bluffs the past three days, giving
his last performance to a very good audience
last night His present visit has not been
successful one, but the fault cannot be laid at
his door, for he certainly has good show, one
that every one should patroniZe. His trou-
bles have been, as is usually the case with his
visits here, with the weather, against which
of course he, nor no one else, can run SHOW.
no matter what its merits may be, success
fully. Everyone in attendance last night eX-
pressed their opinion freely that Mr.. RtceS
exhibition of trained animals was the best
ever witnessed-indeed, the performance of his
celebrated blind horse Excelsior are well
worth the price OF admission. Besides the
wonderful exhibition of animal sagacity by
this noted horse, Mr.. Rice has a "com-
pany" of trained horses, that execute
several very difficult military evolutions
at the word of command, and
so cleverly that the beholder is struck with
establishment at what appears almost the ac-
cOmplishment OF impoSSibi!ity. During the
different features of the performance, Old Dan
interests and amuses his audience with some
striking truths pleasantly punotuated with
witticisms, so that the show is rendered most
enjoyable throughout. We regret the weather
has prevented our people from visiting Mr..
Rice's hrst-claSs entertainment, as it is not
only worthy of patronage, but is of such nov
el character as TO merit the heartiest encour-
sgement. We hope he will return soon, and
chance.
The Centennial Masquerade Ball.
It will be seen by reference to the
proper column that Thursday, the twenty
fifth of the present month, is the time Set
spart for the grand masquerade ball to be
given for the purpose of raising funds for the
Centennial. This we deem happy idea, as ii
Will eni Die every respectable citizen to enjoy
an eve ing of innocent mirth, and at the
same II ne aid in the advancement of truly
worthy cause. No Intelligent man who has
given the subject moments consideration,
can doubt the benefits that must rebound to
our State by exhibiting her varied and splen-
did resources to the millions of people who
bition. We have more than once in these
columns glanced at this question, and deem
it hardly necessary to say that a six months
gratuitous advertisement of our natural re-
sources in manner impossible under any
other circumstances an advertisement to be
read of the worlds worth the time and eX-
pense necessary to attain it. Let us one and
all join hands in making this entertainment
a success financially, for that is its great OBJ
ject. That it will be brilliant success in
point of social enjoyment, no man who
knows the spirit of run and mirth imbedded
in the character of the average Memphian
aar draTlh a afrNTf rfl m
ganize small parties for the Centennial mas
QueTade ball. We have no doubt that our
Jai road lines will reduce the fare one-hah to
Memphis and return on the twenty-1ifth in
st mt Let our friends in the towns of West
Tennessee organize excursion parties to Men,
phis, and come and have Jolly time with us
at the masquerade on the tWenty-fifth.
