The Vokes family open at Mcyicker's, Chi
cago, on Monday evening, succeeding the
Acme "Olivette" company.
The season is practically over, and amuse-
ments are running emptyings. There are few
frst-class combinations on the road.
It looks as if the news of the great win
nings by Florence and Mccullough at the
English Derby got noised abroad awfully
quick.
Mains Comic Opera company have made a
pronounced hit in Won suppe's new opera,
'sDonna Juniata." Tennie Winston is. the
leading artist in this company.
Jessie Bartlett Davis and Charles A. Knorr
are to sing in ''stabat Mater" at the Central
Music hall, Chicago, Monday night, for the
benefit OF the Foundlings' Home
Haverly's minstrels did not arrive at Omaha
last evening in time to give a performance,
owing to unexpected detentions of their train.
They went on direct for San Francisco.
A Louisville girl who was not born a great
dramatic star, has been discovered, and she
talks about hiring out to Forepaugh or Bar

James O'Neill win begin star engagement
at the Grand Opera house, Chicago, June IS.
MIR. O'Neill has not appeared in Chicago since
1878, with A. NJ. Palmer's Union Square
company.
Mr. Will j. Davis threatens now to give us
Olivette as it should be. He wants to put
Roland Reed into the old church choir party,
and thinks it would make an inyincible Oil
vette company.
Mr.. David Strong, the scenic artist of the
Grand Opera House, Chicago, who has been
engaged for several weeks past in decorating
the new opera house at Saltwater left for
home last evening.
at Denver yesterday a man named Her
sching, member of the Soldene Opera com
pany, committed suicide by jumping from a
bridge into Clear creek. He leaves a wife,
who is also member of the troupe.
John Mccullough and Billy Florence, the
actors, had S35, 600 wagered on Iroquois, and
theySon, as We all know. The result of this
will be bad acting on the part of Mccullough
and Florence until they lose it on some other
horse.
John W. Norton, who discovered Mary An
derson, has been on the hunt ever since for
another. He has bagged Selma Fetters, Mary
Dixon, Roshelle, and one other whose name
escapes US, but the Anderson star is in nowise
dimmed as yet.
Haverlys reputation as a reliable manager
will suffer If he allows his travelling compa-
MES to slight audiences as the Mastodons did
on Friday night. If the intention is to give
half a performance at full price it wouldn't be
a bad idea to so state it in the bills.
Brooks & Dickson announce sheir inten-
ton to organize grand minstrel show for
the coming season. Harry Clapham will be
the manager. Wonder If Jimmy Morrissey
u md
the legitimate outcome of Abbott's Paul and
Virginia?

horse-a Trakene stallion-durlng the entire
tour, which was highly successful.
The Union Square company open the
coming season of the Grand Opera
house, Chicago, on the 22d of August,
and remain there eight weeks. They bring
everything necessary for complete stage pro-
auctions, the contract calling for all speaking
parts, manager, stage manager, and so on,
down to the call-boy.
Miss Eugenia Blair is the daughter of Ella
Wren, and is one of the youngest ladies on
the stage Miss Wren was in New Orleans
at the outbreak of the rebellion, and remained
So nth during the war. She married Major
Blair of Maryland, nephew of Montgomery
and Gen. Frank P. Blair. The major was
killed in the Southern army and Miss Wren re-
turned to the stage, bringing Eugenia with
her. Miss Blair is very promising actress.
AS an instance of the very weak state of the
amusement marke. in San Francisco, it may
be mentioned that Robson & Crane closed
their four weeks engagement after the second
week. So did Tom Keene, who is no end of
Frisco favorite. Gus Williams played to
benches at the California, as did Willie Edwin
at the Standard John T. Raymond and the
"Hazel Kirke" party are there now, and Hav
erly's Ministries are on, their way.
The RemenUi Concert.
A very fair audience assembled at the Opera
house last evening on the occasion of the con-
cert given by Remenyi, the great violinist. He
was assisted by pianist of good ability, Mr..
Beale, who displayed considerable dexterity
and good appreciation of his themes;
soprano of good quality, M lie Renie Reignard,
who possesses a good natural voice that ex-
