 RED RIDING HOOD.
 The charming juvenile operretta ''Red Riding Hood'' was given in Peck's Grand Opera House last evening, under the direc- tion of Signor Tamburello, of New York city The audience, though not large, was very appreciative one, and the operetta was very satisfactorily given. Among the New Haven talent represented was Miss Marie L. Kirschner, MT. Bissell and Mir. Griffith. Miss Emma Pond, of Boston, also added much to the interest of the concert. Misses MiIlie Schneelock, Viola and Flossie Sanford, Julia Roller and Masters Georgie Atwater and Porter Clark were noticeable for the very ac- ceptable manner of rendering their parts The chorus of voices composed of boys and girls are also worthy of note, as they ren- dered their parts most acceptably. Signor Tamburello is to be congratulated on his first concert in this city, and should he repeat it he may rest assured that he will be greeted by very large audience.
 RICE's COMIC OPERA COMPANY.
 But fair-sized audience was present at Carlrs Opera House last evening when Rice's Comic Opera company presented the operet- tas of the Spectre Knight" and Charity Begins at Home'' The indications at first seemed to promise rather tame perform ance, but before the curtain fell on the last scene the audience were fairly delighted. The operettas are very light and the music, though somewhat lacking in spirit in the first, Is for the most part very sweet and me- lodious. Miss Carrie Burton, the soprano, has a very musical voice and acted in charming manner. Her good singing, grace and rdi0ete won her marked expressions of appreciation. MT. w. Herbert and Mir Me Collin were very clever in their comical parts, causing shouts of laughter, and the characters in general were well rendered, the voices being equal to the work. On the whole, ly commendable in that it was entirely chaste. It will be repeated this afternoon and even- ing and is worthy of full house.
