realized every anticipation, and proved that
tue announcements that had been made In adj
vance were not mere boasts. The scenery was
especially fine, the costumes rich aud
gorgeous, and tho whole cnsemJle was most
complete. Miss Annie ShafTor who is
80 pleasantly remembered for her sprightly
rendition of Hebe last year, made
charming Cinderella, ana sang the music al
lotted her very sweetly. Miss Jenn @ Hughes
rs Thisbe at once made n hit by her sprightly
and vvacous acting, and in her speciality
songs she received q vOclerOus encore. MISS
Elma DeIardo was the Clorinda, and brought
to the part q voice of considerable purity and
power and also showed herself most intelli-
gent aud attractive actress
Miss Marie Bates sustained the role of Prince
Paragon with all the grace aud intelligence
requisite, and made decided impression upon
the audience. The gentlemen in the cast were
all good, both as to thoir singing and acting,
and tho dialogue was not abridged, but was
sparkling and good Much Of Ros.

the orchestra did not at all times quickly
respond to the veteran Maretzek's baton,
the singers were not ut fault aud tho choruses
rs well MS the solos were well rendered. The
speciality artists, Miss Lizzie Snms in her
wonderfully rapid changes aud Miss Lillian
Lancaster in her charcoal Sketches were
loudly applauded, as were also the clowns,
Mcssrs Topack and Moore Tho entire per-
formamco was highly entertaining, and the

neOus tax-len and tax sales certificates
amounting to S1sS, ,s76.3S, have been deposited
with tho treasurer by the collector and duly
cancelled. They were received by the col
lcctor for taxes that were due previous to July
l, 1877, and the arrears of taxes have to that
extent been diminished. The large amount
OF waterfront collections during last year is
attributed to two eOlcctions-one during July
and August for the fiscal year, which was
declared by the court to have been illegal, aud
tho ovcrcharged amount ordered to lie re-
funded by this Office, requiring 6,1i1 checks
aud II repayment of 800 5000. Other amounts
have since been refunded by the auditor OH the
same account. The other collection was made
for the whole year from January 1, 1880, to jan
uary l, 1881, rs required by law.
There were 2,S47 licenses issued, amounting
" $l20, ,63957. OF this amount the retail
! liquor dealers paid s5S,690.3S. This amount
exceeds the collections of last year By the sum
| OF IS, S2564, which has been obtained from

A large number of persons heretofore II.
ceused as commercial agents have this year
escaped, owing to decision that rs "owmers"
| they were not liable. The receipts would other.
wise have been much larger from this class
OF Licenses, aud the law ought TO be changed
