For an entertainment which cannot fail to interest and amuse, we commend the public to that to be given by Mir. and Mrs. George s. Knight at the New Haven Opera House this afternoon and evening. Last evening it was presented to but small audience, but they were ''the favored few" The enter tainment was given in a sprightly and clever manner and elicited the hearty appreciation of all present. The company is good one throughout, and with MT. and Mrs Knight in their specialties makes two hours and half vanish in decidedly pleasant manner. "Otto" will be enjoyed by all who attend to- day.
