"FATINITzA" AT THE OPERA HOUSE,
SATURDAY. AFTERNOON.

"FATINITzA" AT THE OPERA HOUSE,
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
"Fatiniiza" was performed at the OPP
era House at matinee, Saturday after
noon, by F0rd's Juvenile Opera Com
pany, before large audience. The play
Is really one of the brightest and most
entertaining Of the bouffs operas that
have been produced on Wilmington
stage, and 1t is needless to say that 1t
was highly appreciated by the audiance.
1t has some excellent points in the plot,
Q good bit Of delightful music, and
ceaseless flow of sparkling fun from first
to last. Possibly IN some parts this hui
NOR is too extravagant and excessive, but
that is brought in SO deity, as to nearly
palliate the ofiense of super6uity. The
interest never lags and the rollicking
spirit has no abatement. The spectator
cannot help noticing once in a while how
out of place are the fair innocent faces
Of the children in most of the scenes, but
the studied unnaturalness of the play
removes this to q great extent. Richard
Smichdt, as TomQfey, conveys no idea of
the wicked, sordid old Russian comman-
der; nor Willie Smith, as the Pdshd, a
suggestion Of the dissolute, sensual
Turk. .'iii"
The piece runs through plot, that It.

SECOND EDITION
MIR. TILDEN THE COMING MAN.


The Baltimore Evening Bulletin
thinks that the political indications at
the present time are strongly In favor
of the denomination of Hon. Samuel j.
Tilden as the Democratic candidate for
President in 1880. The Bulletin CON-
cludes an article on the "Tiiden BOOM"
as follows: 'li olii y .r9- lsl O.

whom the Democratic choice will fall in

two-stOry, six-roomed, brick dwelling

houses is 10000, and of the three-story
houses, which will be large and fine,

prise, as contractors. The brick work
will be done by Archie Reed, the plas-
terlng by Robert Haddock and the paint

ment will be great benefit to the neigh
