THE CENTENNIAL PREMIUMS.

CONTINUED COMPLAINTS AS TO THE AWARD, AND
WHAT THEY ARE FOUNDED UPON.
There seems to- be. considerable Indignation
expressed suppressed in reference TO the closing ac
Of the Centennial Exhibition. IL Is believed:
Ist That the issuing OF awards Is unnecessarily DO
layed.
ID That the reports OF judges have been partial not
tampered or mcddled wi n.
3D. That examinations of goods have been made since
Nov. IL, when the Commission, by order, ended the
iabors OF the judges.
4th That goods have been examined In distant city
since the close OF tho Exhibition
5th. Thataward have been decreed that werc not
ordered by the Centennial Commission.
6th That the functions OF the Commission usurpcd
and used for some bad or selfish purpose.
7th That the affairs vailed with secrecy for no
good purpose.
Drectoreneral Goshorn seems to be solely In charge
Of the office, and justly unusty bears much OF the
odium attached TO these irregular proceedings We
trust the Centennial Commission will timely vndicate
its authority In tho matter and sustain its dignity by
checking and correcting these wrongs as far as pos
sibe. =.

NEW BROADWAY THEATER.

The New Broadway Theater, which had been
closed for week So reopened last evening when
performance OF Our Boys given to the manifest
pleasure of an audience Of fair proportions. Our Boys
was acted 1t will be remembered, at the Fifth Avenue
Theater and although the impression 1t then produced
was scarcely vivid enough TO account for Its extraord
nary success abroad, the comedy elected considerable
merriment, and by its neatness Of construction and
bright dialogue, gratihed critical taste The revival OF
Our Boys at the New Broadway Theater will probably
afford many paygoers two hours OF agreeable entertain
ment for the OF the piece at the Fifth Avenue Thea
ter was not prolonged as to have made it
familiar to everybody. 1t is respectfully acted and
pretiy set want OF local color being the principal de-
feet of the representation There nothing distncyey
English about the characters except so far as PerHVn
fddIecck is concerned. This part fell yesterday 30
