Mr.. Dion Boucicault and the company

their engagement with two performances
to-day, matinee and night. The engage
ment has been the poorest of the season,
and this too in spite Of excellent work by
the management in putting the piece on
the stage. The scenery and stage appoint
ments are everything that the piece de-
mands but the company is poor one and
the play has been seen over and over again,
and the reputation Of Mr.. Bouccault was
not sufficient in the face Of these draw
bncks to bring out the people. It is unfor-
tunate that the colleen Bawn" was not
put on instead of the "Shauglraun." This
would have given lis almost new bill, as
it has not been played here by profession
