AMUSEMENT SEASON.
How It Opens and viii Run In
Wheeling.
Opening Next Week-list Of Attractions
Already Eooked-General Notes
Of the Coming Season.

OF the Comng season.
Amusements are as necessary to the pub
lie as holidays Tastes may differ as to
method of catering to the craving for en-
joyment and relaxation, but amusements
come nearer to filling the universal want
than anything else. For q city OF over
5000 inhabitants, to say nothing OF the
20,UC0 more who contribute, from the neigh
borbOod, Wheeling only does toleraoiy
well in the support OF the best amuse-
ments. Her taste is little perverted, as
is evident from the known fact that while
q fine drama will be given to empty seats,
a roaring blood and thunder play VIII PACK
the house from pit to dome. Wheeling, too,
claims TO be mu.;cal, but the finest concert
company in the land will execute before q
small audience. Comic operas usuaiiy
draw well, but the attraction there, lies
principally in the undreSs style OF UNIFORM
adoDted by the choruses. But mlnstreis
are Wheeiing's fayorites, and good one
never lacks the best support. famed
dramatic company is always well received,
however, and Wheeling public IS quick 10
recognize and applaud true merit. An IN
stance Of this was seen in Mile. Rnea- one
Wheeling audience backed by the Wheel
ing press, did much toward lifting her TO
the fame she now enjoys.
THIS SEASON
promises to be unusually brilliant at the
Opera House. As already noticed the
building has been reprinted and several
new and elegant scenes added, so that
theatre goers may the more enjoy the time
sDent within the walls. In the line OF at
fractions Manager Reister, in making his
bookings, has .c:refully avoided anything
doubtful and will rent to only strictly first
class companies. Since the last season, a
great many new combinations have taken
the road and most OF them will reach
Wheeling The list, which is given below,

fractions. The sixty companies are merely
