METROPOLITAN THEATER. - There was
never made more prominently manifest the
desire of the people for public entertainment
at low prices, than last night at the Metro
politan Theater. That building was packed
from top to bottom; such an audience has
not been gathered in it, for admission money,
since the celebrated benefit of the comedian
Crane. The occasion was an entertain
ment by the Capital City Minstrel
Club for the benefit of the two lead.
ing character actors of the company, G.
M. Gray and Edward Lsavy. The
troupe is popular, aud the benefciasies excel
lent speciality actors, with mimetic powers of
unusual breadth. But the prices were popu-
lar, too, and as a consequence standing room
was at high premium. An audience half
that size would pay any good stock dramatic
or variety company well, and any such COM
pany could successfully keep the theater open
here seven months out of the twelve, if only
these people of the stage" would come
down in Il cir prices. But they will not-they
prefer to play to empty benches at one dollar
rates than prosper with full house at fifty
cents, and the public prefers to keep its dollar
rather than pay more than the entertainment
is worth, and SO it goes abroad that Sacra-
mento is 50 a bad show town ''-as the profess
sional expresses it-when in fact it is just the
reverse. The entertainment last evening was
good throughout, the minor deficiencies being
iv,ys erpsf h. Il
lence of the whole. The beneficiaries re-
ceived quite an ovation. and appeared to the
best advantage, while the company partook
of the spirit of the occasion, and won new
credit for itself.
GRAND LODGE RECEPTION. The reception
rendered the Grand Lodge by the local
Lodges last evening was in all respects sue
cess. The meeting was held in the Senate
Chamber, and after the initiation ceremony
of Capital Lodge, which was conducted by

the joint committee took charge OF the meet.
ing, and formal welcome was extended to
the officers and members of the Grand Lodge
by William II. Mills, which was responded
to by the CIV. G. T. on behalf of the Grand
Lodge. After q short musical and literary
programme the members to the number of
nearly AGO, repaired to the Assembly Cham
Der, where refreshments were served and a
genuine social time enjoyed, and the general
verdict was one of entire satisfaction with
the arrangements.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED benson yes
terday in the Superior Court affirmed the
judgment of the Police Court in the two
cases of The People VS.. Eli Mayo, for violat-
ing the Health Ordinance. In the above
cases the defendant refused to fill up sink
holes where stagnant water stood. basing his
refusal upon the theory that, inasmuch as the
surface Of the ground was in the condition it
was left by nature, he could not be compelled
to fill it up. The place complained of was
declared a nuisance by the Board of Health.
and he refusing to abate it, on the above
plea, was arrested and tried, and his view of
the sanctity of natures levels was overruled
took an appeal to the Superior Court, which
now affirms the judgment below.
SENTENCE AWARDED benson yes
terday sentenced Cy McClintock to term
of four years in the State Prison for the crime

tenth year, and the Judge allowed his
mother few days in which TO make choice
as to the prison in which she desired him to
serve. The term of sentence is referred to by
those acquainted with the case as a very just
one, considering his crime and previous
history.
