We have never heard her sing as sWeetly

acting, and the we'll timed accompaniment
Of the orchestra rendered it next to the gem
of the evening. Miss Kellogg has q trea-

Mr.. Carlton, The Count, had very diff

self to be thorough master of the situation,
and added not little to the enjoyment of the
evening. He acted with astonishing self
possession and ease, and tested bis rich bari.
tone voice to the great satisfaction of all
present.
Mr.. Allen, Don Basilio, we recognized as
a former member of Mrs. Oates's company.
He was just the man for the role he assumed
and so creditaby filled last night.
Mr.. Marson represented DR.. Bartolo, and
Mrs. White, Mareellins, both of whom sang
and acted their parts very creditably.
We repeat that the orchestra and chorus
are the best that we have ever heard in
Richmond. 1t Is astonishing how we'll they
are up in their parts, and how admirably
trained they are. We have already said
enough about the opera, but cannot close
this notice without noticing that one Of the
enjoyable features to many was the presence
Of the party Of ladies and gel emel, invited
to the opera by MIR. Oliver j. SchooItTaft, OF
this city. The party occupied four rows in
the centre section in the dress.circle, and the
ladies were in full party dress. Each lady
was provided with handsome bouquet, got.

escorted Miss IRez Withers. During the
evening the party was the centre Of attrae.
