Htawatha, played to packed house by the
Rice Surprise Party at Music Hall Saturday
evening, is particularly strong in noise, much
stronger than in music or wit, though it is not
wanting in these. However, it makes no am
bilious claims, does not aspire to the title Of
comic opera, but is content to style itself an
extravaganza. That it is, and an amusing one
toc-not the sort of thing one would care to
see many times, but affording pleasant even

some of very ordinary merit The best num-
