The East.room, and the Rcd, Blue, and Green

and of handsome pattern. The only room
that Will not be ready mt tho timo indicated, II

boon very much delayed by tho non-arrival Of

The Stratcgists.

At the Bushstrect Theatre "The Strateglsts"
still maintains its hold, and Will, doubtless,
continue 40 TO do until IL IL withdrawn. That
II has made n genuine "hit" no one will deny.
We are not surprised ut this. Tho play il one
emincntly calculated to please an audience.
II is rcplete with surprisingly ludicrous situa-
lions throughout. The play Is In the hands OF
careful and competent people, who, seemingly,
enter Into the fun OF the situation IA heartily
as do their laughter.convulsed audiences. Mr..
J. u. Polk, IA jack Ruttiedge, has improved his
performance OF the part wonderfully since the
first night. He now plays 1t with the finish,
JUNCTION and intelligence OF the artist and gen
tleman. Miss Katie Gilbert, rs Nellie Hord,d,
presents picture full OF tender touches and
girlish ABANDON and ono well worthy to hang
sido by side with the picture OF jack, as drawn
by Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Harry Linden, rs the Major
with all the vices and none OF tho virtues Is
capital. His drunken scene In the third act Is
very funny, without being In the least ex-
travagant or overdrawn. The other ladies' and
gentlemen OF the cast are quite equal to tho
requirements of their several parts, and con-
tribute, by their honest endeavor TO please,
materially TO the success OF the piece and the
pleasure OF the audience. Eminently true is
this of Miss Jennie Carroll, who plays tho part
OF Mrs. HoWdrd. This laughable absurdity
Will enter tomorrow night upon Its fourth
and last week with the brightest prospects,
and we doubt not that 1t will prove as salts.

The case OF Henry d. Cooke, jr., against
Francis Daniese, Columbus Delano, Henry A..
willard and All Souls Church, In the nature
of bill of interpleader, came on for hearing
before the Court In Banc this morning. In
January, 1877, Columbus Delano sold to Henry
A. willard the lot on which All Souls Church
now stands, and which in the month of June
following Mr.. Willard conveyed to the church.
At the time OF the conveyance from Delano 10
willard certain judgment appeared to be n
lien upon the lot, and 1t was agreed between
them that proceedings should be had to de-
termine whether 1t was or not, and that 81, 700
OF the purchase money should DO reserved and
deposited with Mr.. Cooke, to DO held in trust
to pay tho judgment, provided 1t was adjudged
q lien. 1t seems that formerly W. s. Holiday,
when possessed OF the lot, gave decd OF trust
on 1t for 81, 205 to secure the legal representa-
tives OF Edward Chapman. Prior TO this con-
veyance Samuel Cole obtained Judgment
against Holiday for $3.50 and costs, which
had been assigned to Daniese and which the
latter claimed as valid and subsisting lien
upon the lot and which ought to be satisfied
out Of the money In the hands OF Cooke. The
case was hoard in equity, and Justice Wylie
decided that the equity was with Delano, and
decreed that the $1,70O be paid over to him.
From this decree an appeal was taken and is
now on hearing.
