AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The Opera House was crowded last night with
the best people Of the city, on the occasion Of
the performance, by the Association Drama
tique Orleanase," for their annual benefit, OF the
well-kpown drama Trente ans on Ia Vie dun
Jaueur" and lies Chevaers du Pince Nez."
Both pieces were well played by the amateurs,
but the performances closed at such o late hour
that we have no time tonight TO oritiose In any
way. Our time and space is too limited at this
late hour to do any justice to the gentle
man actors. The audience was all that
could be desired. All our Creole population
were there--the youngest and best. Many were
the pretty faces and well.rounded forms that
made the amphisheatre thing OF beauty and OF
life. Behind the waving fans-for the evening
was warm-shone many lustrous eyes, some
times. too often. we must say. clonded behind
the sorutinizing lorgnette. We will speak here
after Of the performance.
THE CIRCUS FAREWELL.
The farewell performances OF Coles CIRCUS yes
terday, at the matinee and at night we're again
splendidly attended. AT the matinee new fea-
ttre WAS offered by MIR. Cole. We refer to the
splendid acts on the double horizontal bar by
Messrs. Tebsut and Scott, both boys Of New
Orleans, which was the more appreciated be-
cause it was not announced beforehand. It WAS
soup dessdt In the ring on the part of these
gentlemen, the former of whom is well known as
the proprietor OF the Tebault Gymnasium on st.
Charles street, and it's success was unfor-
tunately marred by an accident to Mr..
Tebault. We were so surprised at each
succeeding feat OF these acrobats that we
do not remember precisely the character OF that
which disabled Mr.. Tebault, temporarily only we
hope. The horizontal bars are about seven feet
distant, and we think that Mr.. Tebault was maxi
ing point turn from one bar to alight on his feet
on the next. In alighting his right heel slipped
and the calf Of his leg came in violent contact
with the bar, causing painful confusion to his
limb We will take some other occasion to speak
OF this special performance; but we can say to-
night, In the language of some circus men who
were in our neighborhood, that it knocked the
spots out Of anything they had ever seen in that
