THE HOWARD OPERA HOUSE.
BurlingtOn's New Temple of Art.
An Elegant Abode Of Song
and Drama.

The Howard Opera House is substantial
" complete, lacking only a few final touches
of the workmen, and our readers will be
interested in somewhat tuil description OF
it, before it is thrown oren to the pubic,
on Monday evening next. \ more tasteful
and elegant music hall is possessed by no
American city. New York, of course, has
larger and more costly halls, but none as
beautiful as this, none more complete IN
its appointments. or on the whole so
thoroughly adapted for the pleasure and
comfort of its users. For this pride and
ornament of cur city, as our readers know,
we are indebted to
JOHN z. HOWARD, esq,
of New York. 4 Burlington boy, third
sen of Uncle John Howard. who in his
day was so widely known and Is still so
well remembered as one of the best OF land
lords aud as one of the honestest
and ipdest of men, Mr.. Howard lett
Burlington in his early manhood forty
odd years ago. lie was associated
with his brother Daniel D.; and, first as
proprietors of the old Troy House. IN Troy,
then Of the Exchange Hotel in New York,
then of tie Howard House (msde by them
in its day the most popular OF New York
hotels). and lastly of the Irving House, the
Brothers Howard gained a wide name as
liberal and enterprlsing men OF business,
hosts of friends the country over, and ample
wealth. Nj. John P. Howard, though
making his home elsewhere, has always,
a. did his brother Daniel, retained a strong
interest in his early home; and he has
shown that interest in many generous ways.
The new Opera House is his latest gilt to
Burlington. and it Is one with which be
need never he ashamed to have his name
connected.
Having decided to erect a handsome
business block on the sites OF the store so
long occupied by his elder brother, Sion f.
Howard, and Of the Old Bank Of Burning
ton, Mr.. Howard soon learned that nothing
would more crafty large portion OF our best
citizens than TO have its ample roof cover
new Music Hall, 80 greatly needed in our
growing city. lie promptly gave the orders
necessary to secure that object His direc-
tons were to build an Opera House
ample for its purpose, and las good as any
pody's' and his architect and agents have
iu his absence-for he has been in Europe
during the most of the time that the work
has been in progress-wel! carried out his
generous designs. The foundations of the
Howard block were laid in November. 1877,
and with some brief Interruptions the work
has gone on steadily to completion. Rising
siIly f,t from the side walk high above the
other blocks on Church street. its lJfty red
roof hi'sd twenty feet higher. it is a con-
sp!caous object fTom many points OF view

THE SEATING ARRANGEMENTS.

The space allotted to the audience Is IN
four divisions. The parquet extends back
from the orchestra IS by &c ieet, the hoor
rising three inches for every tier OF seats.
These are in curved rows. Back of this an
divided from it by rail Of crimson velvet
with gold bead, is the dress circle, p by
70 feet, extending back to the pillars sup
porting the gallery. The floor Of this rises
at greater incline. Back of this under tbs
gallery and acrosss level passage way twelve
feet wide from which side and centre aisles
lead down among the seats. is the balcony,
rising still higher. Above, in the gallery,
is the family circle 2s by 10 feet. These
sections are filled with rows of patent
swivel seats, set in frames OF IRON,
with cushioned seats and arms covered
with red enamelled cloth, finished
with nickle-plsted bands. The iron frames
are bronzed with gold bronzs. The seats
are wider and more comfortable than the
average, with space enough between the
rows to enable person to reach centre
scat without compelling the other occupants
Of the row to rise. These chairs or seats
number loci. The boxes will seat 60 more,
and there is space for 200 or $50 extra
chairs, if needed. giving seating capacity
for an audience OF from 300 to l,4oO per-
sons. All Of these seats, with scarcely an
exception, give full view and hearing OF
the stage. We have never seen hall OF the
kind containing so few undesirable seats.
