ST. Charles Theatre.
A first hearing Of the play of "The Adiron-
dacks," at this Theatre last evening, Inn
pressed us very favoraby.
The argument is simple and possesses
freshness, Edith Reylston has met with de-
ceptisn In her first love and marries an old
man, as she acknowledges, because he was
rich, and attraction OF riches had caused the
raithIessness of her first love. She Is, at the
opening of the play, a dashing young widow
breaking hearts everywhere. An unbe-
lever In love at this period of her
life. she causes the death Of a young man.
Arthur HoughtoD, whose love she had encour-
aged. Ralph Challis, q brother OF the suicide,
who has been absent for many years, and Is
travelling under an assumed name, resolves to
avenge Arthurs death. He ensnares his vic
tim and compels her to acknowledge her love
Tor him, and then spurns her. Edith Is made
desperately Ill in consequence. Ralph Challis
goes abroad, but eventually discovers that he
loves Edith and returns to find that she Is be-
reft of her reason, which She however. regains
In the arms Of the eccentric Ralph.
tn dEngn q n

Varieties Theatre.
The farewell performance of the Robson
aud Crane combination last night was o
splendid affair both aftstieally and pecuni.
arlIy considered The "Cumedy of Errors
sandwiched by Zones Baby and the farclcal
absurdity Of dJenny Lind, afforded the audi
enea all the fun and amusement that they
anticipated and more. We take this opportu-

The Continental Hall.
The only excuse that we have for havins
DELAYED I'm noticing the ball given Mt st. Pat
riek's Hall on Saturday by the Continenta
Guards is that our representative was enter
tnined too royalty and beyond the hour wheI
the delay could have been avoided. The decora
:, tions of the entrance to the Hall and OF tn
ballroom were so profuse and elegant that W
must defer speaking Of them. They charme
the eve only less than the beautiful guests o
the G0ntnentals. and their number was 8
great that for a time it was next TO impossIDl
10 dance even in the immense ball room oil d
Patrick's Hall, which is Of the capacity {
three thousand seats. Tolettes, hunoT, lit
mination, yerythng indeed connected wit
the reception, was Just such as we had al
tieipated would have manifested themselye
to make Ii one OF the completeSt an
most brilliant affairs that has occurred in TIL
city. The gratuitons supper offered by u
Continentals was not the least feature OF tt
ball, and that 1t was relished by t4a guests ca
be judged by the following excellent bill {
fare. supplied by that excellent caterer, Victt
