gave an entertainment atthe Opera House
last night, to lnrge, select audience,
which appreciated the show and applaud
cd it heartily from beginning to close.
There is not one commonplace star among
all the talent II the bills, something that
can be said Of very few variety troupes
The Irwin sisters, two very charming
ladies, captivated everybody with their
delightful songs, dances nnd sketches.
They arc winsome girls, and have the mer-
il OF being good singers and dancers.
Bryant and HOey kept the house convnls'
cd with merriment during their lnughable
sketch. The great Tony himself came IN
for u bumper when lie appearedin his new
songs. One OF the most mcrltoElous parts
OF tho programme is Harry kennedy's
yentriloquism. He is undOubtedlMone OF
the greatest artists in his line living. The
imitation Of noted actors and actresses by
Charles S. Rogers and Miss Matte Nickers
have extraordinary merit in them, and be-
side, furnish fun untold. The Dutch
"busincssrof. Watson and Ellis and the
great Irish pair, Harry aud John Kernel,
need no praise to recommend them III

A novel feature OF this mammoth show
this season is the introduction OF twenty
German, Russian, Tartar and Italian trick
stations. Barnum paid for these horses
the princcly sum Of Sl5O,00O. They were
originally owned by the Car Of Russia, the
German Emperor, and the late King En-
manuel OF Italy. =.
The appreciation bestowed by the public
upon his famous "Trakcne" stations last
season induced Mr.. Barnum TO purchase
this famous troupe Of trickstallionS, which,
on the continent, have been regarded as
the arenic wonder Of Europe. All New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago
have llocked to witness the amazing per-
formances Of these wonderful animals.
