G 3Soo1arding this as an opportunity
Good to be lost, our representa-

wv rorsatiOn for the purpose of
cy y..;+inr information concerning

lev .nf2oned the forthcoming "500th

PEI ,,aorv concerning the various events
qoun0nmected with the unprecedented
cars continuous run of Hazel

10 hrLI proceeded as follows:
"V aNben the play reached its fitch
narfornance that event was thought
r. he well worth celebrating, and so
. ~ handsome programme was printed
IN coI0rs for general distribution.
Tins as its popularity continued,
and +hc tooth performance was given,
We thought a rich blue satin pro-
gramme was none too good On the
30Oth performance the programme
was prepared in banner-SShape, with
heavy tasselS, and on the 25Oth a
iorgn hook with illustration engraV-
mos S we're presented. The 300th per
FINANCE oT was reached, and an eX-
nansiye book, in morocco and gold,
Tas presented, each book costing
ahont S2.75. while at the 370th per-
Torrance the close of the first year,
a bronze plaque, or card receiver,
with a fine medallion head of Effie
EIIsler. especially prepared by the
GOrham Silver Company, at an eX-
pense of about s. each was given.
The 45Oth performance was marked
bv the presentation Of large book
of illustrative engrayings Ell Silhou-
cite, a very expensive work, and the
jO0th performance, soon to be given,
will witness a testimonial souvenir,
which will eclipse all the others.
You will understand that my COM

times, the New I ork Company con-

These gifts must have been very
expensive. Was there no advance
in prices to meet the outlay?"
Not for that Immediate purpose,
though an advance was made be-
cause the demand for places COM
PEELED it. At the Tooth performance,
s. was the charge. At the 200th,
25Oth and SOOth, s. was willingly
paid. At the 37Oth, s. was as easy
to collect as 81 would have been,
and at the 45Oth, tickets were in de-
mand at as high as SO each. You
never saw such enthusiasm, and
your citizens may congratulate
themselves on the extremely low
prices they pay for their amuse-

I'VE opened our season in this
city during the heat of the presiden-
tial election, November 5th, 1880,
and Met with immense success.
Since then we have visited nearly
every one of the principal cities in
the country, and have yet to play to
the first losing house. 1t has been
estimated that the drama, Hazel
klrke,' is now netting its managers
$1,000 daily. We have three COM
panleS on the road, and the play is
still running at the Madison Square
Theatre, with no prospect Of close.
We have company walking about
New York City, drawing salaries
regularly and doing nothing. This
IS the Professor company, waiting
its turn after Hazel Kirke' is with
drawn. How long their picnic is to
last, remains to be seen, but there IS
no Immediate sign of close"

pany that was here in November

being unimportant insofar as the in
tereStS of the piece are concerned.
Miss Sydney COWell is now PLAYING
Dolly Dutton, instead of Miss
Georgle Cayvan, who is the Hazel
