I've PAstimel.
The same dull state Of aifairs We noted last
week prevails to great extent though there
does seem to be q tendency on the part Of so
cisty tOithrow of its lethargy. About the
only general relaxation the past week has
been at the Opera House. Last night
''OuR OOBLISs,"
q strange compound Of attractive music,
pure wit and humor, and irresistible nom
sense, was given by MitChell's Pleasure Party
TO an audience Of fair size and appreciative
enthusiasm. The piece Is unlike any other in
existence, though 1t suggests THE Brook"
and similar conglomerationS. Some OF the
music Is remarkably fine, and 1t Is all well
sung The operate selections are rendered
in manner which would be u credit to
many opera companies, Especially fine Is
the company in choFuseS, and they sing
some grand ones Miss Emma Carson has y
pure and sweet soprano voice, and Miss
Myra Barry beautiful alto. The bass OF J.
N. EOrcross Is excellent The company Is
cast Us follows:

In the first act q society melodrama Is re-
hearsed, and the play within play Is ex-
tremely funny, The dream OF the COLLINS
in the third act gives the piece Its name.
There Is not dull line, sober situation, or
poor song in the whole entertainment
The matinee this afternoon, ut which the
same piece will be given, and the entertain
ment tonight, should attract an audience
somewhat more in keeping with the merits
Of the comedy and the company.
