AMUSEMENT NOTES.
HAyEgLY'S LILLpUTIANs.

Jack Hayerly has Sent many good things
IN the amusement line to Minneapolis, but
probably nothing in the past has SO thor
oughly pleased the amusement loving public
as the two performances OF the 6averly
New York juvenile Pinafora company, st
the Academy OF Music, yesterday. Pinstore
has been sung threadbare here, but the per-
torrance Of this company is creation
of their Own, and really seems like an eu-
tirely new opera. Many new features are
introduced, and the principal roles are car
ried through in suca an entirely novel and
captivating manner, that none can fail TO De
delighted with the performance. AS tie
Louisville C0urter-Journn5 has already
wisely said: ''lhis comic opera was writ
ten for children. 1t was written for children
to play, for grown-up children to listen to.
The true spirit CT childhood pervades it. II
the pathos Of the jingle, in tne grace of the
movement, in the chastity of the tone, it ez-
bibits the sweetness aud purity
OF the nursery and should Col. Haveciy
hunt the world over, We doubt If he would
suceaed in gathering another fifty children
OF the same ages and with no better advant
ages for acquiring musical education, v no
would. with the same training, begin to pei
form this opera, or any other, IN a manner
approaching the excellent rendition that took
Minneapolis By storm yesterday. At both
performances the house was packed,
and the thunders of applause
that made the raiters ring attest
III measure the appreciation felt by these
present. But they have gore, AID ell that
remains is q pleasant remembrance, Us Of
some beautiful dream that has stirred our
innermost nature. Indeed the performance
itself seems more like a happy dream than a
reality, for one seldom sees such crowd of
handsome children, with such sweet DISPOSE
tions, winning manners and withai possess
ing such sweet melodious voices. But
words fail to express in the least degree the
charms of the performances they should be
seen to be appreciated.
METROPOLITAN THEATER.
AS might readily be supposed, the Thanks
giving perfor mances at the Metropolitan
theater drew large and appreciati7e audi
ences to witness the rendition of the play
entitled The Ocsoroon." The play repre-
sents scenes in Louisiana during the days OF
slavery, and IS queer mixture of comedy
and tragedy, together with the essential
features of the sensational drama.
Such a play, we'll put on
the stage, never fails ito please
Western people. This play has been per-
10 med here time and again but the masses
seen never to become satisfied with it, and
they never would need to when performed
as we'll as on yesterday.
Mr.. John Murray has made hit as Salem
Scudder, the Yankee, presenting one OF his
best character presentations. Miss Garland,
as Zoe the Cctorocn, presents a character
that evinces long and painstaking study.
The play is cast IL the full strength of the
company, with the exception of Mr.. Bryton,
and is universally good.
THEATRE CoMIQUE.
This pleasant resort presented an attract
i've performance last night, giving several
new features. The company is strong enc
and is making friends very rapidly. Charles
Mason's songs and sketches in Dutch dialect
creates shouts of laughter. AppoIo, the
homeless wonder, is the best contortionist
that ever appeared in Minneapolis. Oznola
does graceful and daring act on the ira
peze, and Miss Agnes Asherton sings motto
songs in a manner that captivates the young
men. John and Della Shepard execute
the Irish songs and sketches in
manner that secures the hearty enconiums
Of the assembly nightly. Robert Nickle, the
great necromsncer, who performed IL the
main hall at the centennial exhibition night
ly astonishes those present with his neatly
executed siight-of hand tricks. New people
are on the road and will appear in day or
two.
