 EVICTION
 
 by the native Irish company very good play. It abounded in genuine Irish wit and pathos. Mir. and Mrs. O'Grady are alone an entertainment, and with the assistance of Mir. Frank Dalton as Rooney the Bailif, Miss Maude Clifford as Lady Evelyn, and others of the company frst-class Irish show Is given, and in Eviction good repre- sentation of Ireland as it is to-day is seen.

There will be a matinee of Eviction this afternoon at 2:3O., and this evening it will be given, when the O'Gradys should have good house
 A small but refined audience assembled a+ the Grand Opera House last evening. The opportunity to see one of Shakespeare's standard tragedies rendered in a masterly way was not to be lost, at least by the few 1t IS surprising and not much to the credit of the cultured people of this city that so few were present Such an artistic and finished presentation of the character of Romeo, who has long been looked upon by men and maldens as the ideal lover, it is safe to say mas never before been given in this city The l personal appearance of Rossi is hardly suited l to the character, his years and portly figure 1 being hard to disguise.

His struggle with death when the fiery poi- son was burning in his veins, and Juliet rom her death like sleep awakened unto him. was masterpiece of acting and tri- umphant finish to grand whole The SUD- port was better on the whole than is usual on such occasions. Miss Muldener as Juliet, spoke too rapidly and her elocution at times was defective, but her efforts drew forth hearty applause and she was called before the curtain at the end of the fourth act. MT Mines Levick made an excellent Mercutio. This evening Rossi will give his interpreta- ion of Othello, and much interest will be felt n it by those who have seen Salvini's won 1 lerful acting in the same character {
