THE METROPOLITAN.
The Temporary Closing-Parties Who De-
sire the Hotel Coming to St. Paul.

The Temporary Closing-Parties Who De-
sire the Hotel Coming to st. Paul.
Yesterday the transient guests and most
Of the regular boarders of the Metropolitan
hotel found new quarters preparatory to the
temporary shutting up of the house, which
will take place after breakfast is served this
morning. The announcement in the GLOBE
of yesterday of the proposed closing, Great
ed no little surprise among our citizens and
was very general subject of conversation,
the almost universal opinion being that the
step was ill-advised.
Under the excellent management of it's
first landlord, the late Col. butcher, and the
no less successful and popular supervision of
the lamented Col. Culver, the house had ac-
quired reputation as pleasant tarrying
place and hospitable home, second to no
hotel in the country. The reputation of q
hotel is like the good will of newspaper as
to the marketable value of the con-
Germ. Kept in operation that marketable
value is retained. Allowed to stop, no
matter what the circumstances, that value is
impaired. In the case of the Metropolitan
that commodity was an important item in
it's value. All our hotels-and no city of
oAAo OAAOA VI Ato POHuAooAOA 10 6uPHAloU WILL
more or better-are crowded to their utmost
capacity at this the dullest season of the
year, and at least two are making extensive
additions to meet the demands upon them.
Under these circumstances it is idle to sup
pose that the Metropolitan, one of the
largest and finest structures in the city,
will long be allowed to stand idle,
but the misfortune is that its reputation as
resort has got to be built up again just as
when its doors were first thrown open to the
public.
We understand that kilograms were receiv-
ed yesterday from party in Utica and an
other in Chicago, offering to take the hotel.
There is no doubt the lease could have been
disposed of within week had the hotel re-
NAMED open, and it is confidently predicted
that by the first of April it will again be open
to the public.

III. M. s. Pinafore,

There was large audience at the Opera
House last evening to witness the first per
formance of H. NJ. 8. Pinafore. To say that
the performance was success would not be
truthful, for both musically and dramatically
it had many imperfections. The Iartists were
all unknown to the st. Paul public, and really
deserve but little praise. The soprano was
weak, though she possesses voice that, with
proper training, will qualify her for the con-
cert The tenor was wofully deficient, both as
to quality and volume of voice. A few of the
choruses were we'll sung, but the solos and
duets were below the average Of the companies
dent that the company had not been long to-
gether, and some of the imperfections could be
attributed to this fact. Probably to-niqhts
performance will show an Improvement. and
as the sale of seats has been large, good house
may be anticipated.
