tate in truth and effort at dramatic effect The

METROPOLITAN THEATER. PIRATES
of Penzance " was produced last evening by
the Melville Opera Company with good eff.
feet. 1t was decided improvement over the
presentation given here of this piece about
year ago. Tonight very interesting pro.
gramme is the attraction. The comic opera
of s. Nisida will be given, with Miss Mel
vile as the Spanish prima donna. The piece
is announced as rich in spectacular effects
and new scenes painted expressly for this
opera. The new scenes include one which is
said to be very attractive, 1.-THE View of
Lisbon" One of the chief effects is ter
rife hurricane scene. The company is
singing so very much better this week as
| compared to last that the pleasure of an even
ing with it is greatly enhanced. Last nights
performance Of 1.-THE Pirates" presented two
Of the people of the troupe not before heard
| in solo parts, Mr.. Henderson a basso with
very robust tones, and Tillie Valerga, a
rather uupretending, but pleasing contralto,
the first as the Pirate Chief and the latter as
the Piratical Maid-cf-al-work The thin
ness Of the house last evening was due proba
| bly, to the strong counter-attFaction at the
Pavilion, to the fact that the piece has been
sung here before, and also to the growing
| objection to the extra price for reserved
seats which the management says it cannot
with safety recede from, holding that the ex-
pense of the engagement and the character of
| the entertainment iustifes the price, so long
as the general admission fee is not raised. 1t
should have been noted earlier that Miss
Melville was in better voice last night than
| on any other occasion when she has appeared
here, ard old admirers declared that she
sang as freshly as when years ago she was so
successful Though then with a voice far less
| cultivated in the Daughter of the Regi-
ment" at the old Metropolitan Theater in
San Francisco. Manager Schultz leaves to-
day for Virginia and Salt Lake to arrange
for the appearance of the company there.
CITY FREE LIBRARY.-The regular monthly
meeting of the Board of Library Trustees.
which was held last evening, is the last meet
ing in the term of Office of the present Trus-
tees. Under the law, five Library Trustees
are to be elected at the coming city election.
OF the present incumbents who are eligible,
there are w. q. Fitch A. G. Hinkson, S. II.
Gerrish. OF the other two, Judge S. q. Den.
son is probably disqualified by reason of hold
| ing judicial position, and VIM. HI. Mills
| declines further service on the Board. The
city would do well to retain the services of
Messrs. Fitch, Hinkson and Gerrish, Their
acquaintance with the affairs of the library
confers upon them superior qualifications for
the proper discharge of the duties of Trus-
tees. It may be further stated in this con-
nection that John Mcneil, of the firm of
Adams, Mcneil q Co., Hon, Grove L. John
son and Hon. Z. B. Mcfarland have been
| spoken of as candidates. MIR. Mcneil
and Mr.. johnson have signifed
their willingness to serve the city in this ca
pacity. The City Free Library is now 10
very prosperous condition, and its readers and
attendants are constantly increasing in num-
| bers. The report of the Librarian submitted
to the Board last evening shows that during
the month of February there were 1850
books drawn from the files and there was an
attendance of readers at the library during
the same time to the number of ,, 259. I'm
| der the system of fines adopted by the Board
for the non return of books at the time re-
quired by the rules, the sum of S2l6 has been
collected since the library was purchased by
the city, and during which time only three
books are known to have bsen lost.
