Coming Events
This evening Nine. Janauschek and company

large house.
Prof. Boltwood's lecture on chemistry, an
nounccd for last evening has been postponed
until next Tuesday evening at the High School.
On Monday evening next Hayerly's New Mas
todons occupy the house. The season at Chica-
go the past fortnight was remarkable one-ri'
yaling Bernhard for drawing powers. For the
first week 1t is estimated that nearly as many
people were turned away as gained admission
AS usual in crowds, we are told that ticket specu-
lators reaped a harvest, Notwithstanding Mr., Ha-
verify made great efforts to protect his patrons
from imposition. He suggests that the pco-
pie secure seats In advance, and as he permits
no extra charge for this, it would be prudent for
all to avail themselves of this advantage. HIS
inability TO accommodate the crowds is Mr. fla.
verly's one treuble so far and hundreds have been
disappointed. The Chicago Tones says OF the
show: "a
That mustrelsy catches the popular heart has
been thoroughly demonstrated at llaverly's the
past week. The house has been packed from or.
standing. rooRb has been at a premium. The re-
ceipts have been enormous and, barring the
| Bernhardt season, must have exceeded al the
other theatrical amuscmcnts combined. WINE
the crowds have been enormous, the audience
have been noticeable as being composed oil O
class many OF whom have, the past week, visited
a minstrel performance for the first time Mr.
| Hayerly maynot succeed in "eleyating MINSTREL
sy to the standard Of opera" but he is certainly
making rapid strides in the right direction. Tn,
company remain second week, with partia
change OF programme
On Tuesday evening Gilmore & Miaco's
Humpty Dumpty" party put in an appearance
with Alfred r. Miaco the ''original and only
Grimaldi." The party contains number o
specialists, trained dogs, trapeze and gymnas
tie experts, comic song singers, clog-dancers
and others. The pantomime will be the mair
part of the exhibition, of which II suggestiv,
synopsis is printed. A Detroit paper thus speak,
of the party while at Whitncy's-a tlrst-clas
house:
WuIrNEY's-Gilmore's uumpty Dumpty ant
, MIaco's Speciality Troupe opened a two nightt
/. engagement at Whitneys Opera House last night
This is an exceptionally entertaining Humptl
show and much the lveliest We have had sine,
the days of Geo L. Fox. The action is rapid
the fun is spirited, the people have talent and i
is the. old fasl toned llumpty which they gave US
Alfred i. Miaco is very amusing clown and The
remaining people are in the right places. The
t second act is devoted to spccIaltes that arc
among the best seen on Detroit stage in severa
wears Aubrey Il Dashway do brilliant hor
zontal bar act, seasoned with some of Maco's in
) Irritable comcaliies Laura Miaco performs
some startling feats on the trapcze: Jennie Mi
r acos scarf song with dance is admirable; a troupe
Of educated dogs delight the children, and Alfred
Miaco does wonders on stills.
1t will prove attractive, 1t is believed, TO ladies
and children; and at the very low price OF 25and
} 80 cents will doubtless have an immense house.
On Feb. Sth Minnie Palmer and her Boarding
School" are coming-onc of the decided successes
Of the larger cities Of last and this season.
