RUN OF THE DULL SEASON.
The dull season has met with the most emil
nent success- 1t has been hailed, as the writers
on the New York press say, "with joyful ac
claim" 1t has earned and descrycd-but, ow.

more scsquipedalian sentences than any other
entertainment in the country. We hope it may
have long run, and that its glory may remain
unfadcd until the end. For the relief it has
given, many thanks. There. are tears for Its
love- joy for Its fortunc aud honor for its ralor.
