York knew that tue play VAS poor and tho play

with The Widow Hunt" and My Turn Next"
during the insesrcgnum. He has beon received
fairly, but without particular warmth; to tell

would succeed here at this time il O'Neil.
ESTkRFR1sISa a1ASAGERs.
Of course you have heard OF tho enterprise Of
jarrett and Palmer aud john Mccullough, who in
June next will send tho properties and scenery
OF Henry Y" across the Continent to San
Francisco IN eighty hours, OF at tho late OF i0
miles au hour. lhe saving OF foir days sala-
rie5 and expenses will cover the extra cost of
this llghtnlng t1ain' ana tue managers will get
big advertisement to boot. But something
really OF greater interest, remains to be told. 1t
ls altogether Likely that At the Eaulo timo the in
dcfatigible managers Will invade England anu
send '5uhns Cirsar, with its scenery, cos
tumes, aud well-dllled company, healed by
Barrett Davenport, and Bangs. to London for
the summer. Aumor also hints that while that
tram is making tho fastest tirs OH
record from ocean to ocean. the steamship that
carries Csrsar and his fortunes will essay to
make the shortest passage on record from con-
tineut to continent.
NEW PLAYS.
There is nothing particularly new in dramatic
circles. have seen couple Of new plays that
will probably be brought out towards tho end Of
the season. Que is q threo-act adaptation OF n
French novel tuat liz very clever, very daiusy,
and not at all dirty or sensational; the otner iB

experience. 1t is somewhat conventional-ns
it must inevitably be- being IN American four
oct play-as to the plot and characters.
but hinges on q cotton claim which will
