San francisco need not commence counting its

is d most variable person, released himself from,
his contract. With h1r.: Hooley, he left
our sturdy and tmmovablo as manager
undecided what to do. April II was
the date fixed for the opening OF Hooley's COM
pany in San Francisco, aud OF tho visit Of Ma-
guire's Minstrels at Hdo1eys. Then that date
was changed to admit Of travelling. tho miles be-
tween the lakes and the Pacifo,-a little item
which seems to have baen overlooked by all par
ties. This week was ceded to Janauschek's
party, and the contract made with the great
tragic actress. Meanwhile Mr. Hooley found
himself blocked ut one end Of tho route, and
tried to arrange with Jhuauschek: But all great
managers cannot do business on this elastic prin-
ciple, and Jauauschek is one Of those who can-
not. Mr. Hooley found himself in the awkward
position OF crustacean whose shcll has been

crab. His superior strategy had left him house
less for 9 week at least. But happy dispensation
OF Providence opened way for him ia CleVe-
land, and nom it s settled, or was yesterday,-for
it is taking bold risk to speak Of anything as
definitely decided,-to spend next week in Glove
land. While, therefore, Madame Janauschek is
playing here, O'Neil, Crane, Miss Hawthorne,

Perhaps the reverses of Mr. Mcguire have
saomething to do with the general upheaval.
Minstrel circles are agitated By the private an
nouncement that Ms. Maguire's company is DIS
inteerated, and that such portions Of it az are
snht and Ia Acfrf f1r in

Grand Opera House in this city under the ma1l-
ngemeut OF LII. Jones. Adtices from California
come slowly, and lii. Maguire has determined
never again to open his mouth within the boun-
daries OF this state when buainess is concerned;
but this belief is current
Mr.. Gardiner ia for once, Ike another manager
in this city, in state Of uncertainty He repudi-
ates the notion of . West Side variety theatte,
and intimatea that la will play the same stars at

public; but the Academy is actually out OF the
way. His stars have been remarkably strong,
and bis pieces have been we'll mounted but q

Academy of Music and the Boston Museum. 30

Mr. Jones and the Grand opera~House people
hare not been without their share Of tribulation
during tho week. Mr. Billy Manning caused
their SORROW, and Mr. Billy Manning has gone at

bouduets some little time ago is not yet forgot
ten, but the last is more distressing. It seems
that Mr. Manningas. devotion to the bowl has
been the subject Of: unfayorable comment in
front of tho curtain ever since his return. |
Wednesday night his lbations had been e1-
ccssve eYen for him, and when he appeared upon
dence against his sotriety. He stumbled against
the flats, and finally fell prone Upon the. floor,
aud there dozed in childlike unconsciousness OF |

Mr. McVicker does not seem to worry himself.
Probably his plans are all matured for next sea-
little early for any particular furry: He will
stay where he is, run his own. theatre, and say
nothing about it.
