AMUSEMENT NOTES.

During the past week the Opera house
has been closed to the outside world, for
no attractions in dramatic way have
been offered. 1t is probable that the
present week will be equally barren of
amusements, as Manager Canning has
cancelled the dates of Miss Henrietta
Vaders, announcing as his reason the in
competency of his star. This was most
unkind cut from a very incompent
source, but Miss Vaders was not without
friends, and Charles Forbes, a man of
ample capital, has engaged the lady for
the season, and has applied for dates IA
St. Paul.
Manager Hams has concluded arrange
ments for two concerts by the Kellogg
Concert company. He has been COM
PEELED to guarantee the company GER
tain amount, and may be obliged to raise
the price of admission: Nevertheless the
pleasure of hearing Miss Kellogg will be
worth all that may be required at the box
office.
A matter that will concern all theater-
goers in st. Paul deserves mention.

and rebuilt. The commodore has pur-
