POLITICS IN BUsKINs
Sohlke danced for Americans In the
'Black Crook. When she danced there
few would have thought whether the dan
Sease was of any particular nationality. She
was under engagement in the Alcazar. but
it happens that she is compelled to renounce
the engagement, because the other fg.rdntes
have discovered that she is Prussian- They,
being flowers Of France, will not assist one
whose limbs began to kick under the Prus-
sian flag. This is patriotism. and Sohlke
could not dance alone.
A MONSTER CIRCUS.
From RosN to Sohlke is one step, and one
other step touches the circus. Myers mon
ster combination is nearly completed. So
strong has been the effort to produce this
gigantic affair that the contractor has engaged
to pay penalty of ST. 800 for every day after
the 11th of December on which the grand
pageant shall remain uncompleted

much sensation is connected with the expec-
tations of the Myers Circus unless it may be
known that its mere area covers ground
surface of $4,000 square feet The cost of
the works alone has been $500, 200. Sixteen
thousand dollars year is the rental price.

penalty is to be incurred for failure the con-
tractor will be ready for the opening on the
l1th of December. Among the attractions
will be nine elephants, and it was a cafe wit
who said that if the Prince Of Wales had come
to Paris instead of going to India he might
have mounted nine elephants that the Mar
quis Of Hastings could not find time to ride
The repartee was that the elephants are too
heavy for the wit
PATTI WILL SING.

NILSSON RETAINED IL EUROPE
You will be disappointed to know that
Europe retains Christine Nilsson, and that
America is not to hear her voice very soon.
At least you shall not have her for your next
season for, though Ilearn that every induce
ment has been made TO her, she has decided
to remain on this side Of the ocean until
after next season.
MINNIE HAUcK
has almost decided to sing in French opera
conique at Brussels in April Of the coming

her death. She was sixty-eight
THE NEW TASNHAUsER
with oil the additions and alterations and
restorations was at length produced at Vienna
last Monday night Wagner, that great
drum major Of the music Of the future, su-
perintended the grand sensation. We know
what the result was in Paris the first act
was failure, and Wagner, with all his weird
genius, could not or, at least. did not set it
right on last Monday night, as we hear from
Vienna
But that Vienna should no: be outdone by
the circus Of Paris, the yiennese in default
Of Wagner, filed the houses to see the elder
Hermann, the great prestidigitateur Indeed,
the audiences which welcomed his sleight-of-
hand were something enormous. And every
one who has seen him will say that he Is the
prime minister Of bewilderment. He is
really great, surprising magician.
