 ABBEY's HUMPrY DUMprY.
 Abbeys Humpty Dumpty and Spanish Students, fresh from their enormous successes in Boston, appeared at Goes Opera House last evening. The entertainment was highly enjoyed, and there was packed house in at- tendance despite the storm signal which was out, and the cloudy sky. The Humpty Dump ty is an improvement on the preceding Hump ties, with many new features. The ballet is large with some exceptionally fine dancers The athletic feats of the Snow Brothers, the performance of Lsvantine the equilibrist, and the juggling of the Valzean Brothers are as- tonishingly good. The clowns are frst-class, and the scenery is highly attractive feature of the entertainment also The Spanish Stu dents are great cast. Their appearance and performance is striking. They rendered but very light music, and the tinkle of the man dolins had it's strange sweetness, backed by the drumming of the guitars and occasion ally rendered fluid by the tones of single violin played in @ low key. The students are fine looking young men, most of them with decidedly Spanish features and very Span ish costume Altogether the evenings per- formance was highly satisfactory to a large audience which filled the Opera House. The public will have two more opportunities for Abbey's, this afternoon and evening.
