PUBLIC AMUsEMESTs.
Notes OF Past aud Prospective Attrae-
tIaua nj the ThaatFes

The presence Of Lent, the multiplicity Of
shows or the bad weather did not seem TO in.
jure the business at the Opera House last
night The house was packed and tho large
audience was kept In a continual roar OF
laughter. Hyde & Dehman have q good
company. Some Of the specially acts were
very fine, especially the musical team, the
lady dancers and tho Irish comedians. The
entertainment given was much superior to
that by Barry & Fay, some weeks ago, though
very similar all through. Wheeling has Ger.
tainly had enough "MuldOon's Picnics" for
one season, however.

The house should be packed, both on account

TUE sACIIsE BENEFIT CONCERT
at the Academy Of Music tomorrow evening
Is Justly attracting attention. It not only
will be one Of the best concerts ever given In
Wheeling by local instrumental and vocal
musicians, but the object is one that should
appeal to the liberality OF everybody. Nine.
Sachse has been Ill for a number Of weeks,
and she Is said to be really In need OF assist.
nnce. The musical people Of the city who
give their services to the benefit performance
should be encouraged and their charity
seconded by that Of the public. Seats can be
procured ut Lucas.
Last night Nine. sachse's condition was
reported as extremely critical. II was
scarcely expected that she would survive
until after the concert. In case OF her death,
the concert will not be postponed, and there
will then be an additional demand upon the
proceeds.
THE ENGLISH HAND BELL RINGERS AND GLEE MEN.
The entertainments at the Academy OF
Music next Saturday afternoon and evening
by the Royal Hand Bell Ringers and Glee
Men Will be musical performances OF real
novelty and unusual merit. Tickets are now
on sale ut Lucas's music store. The charac.
ter OF the organization giving the concerts
can be appreciated from the fact that they
have been engaged at heavy expense to sing
at the ChautauQua Assembly next season,
and the managers are priding themselves
upon their enterprise in securing so desirable
an attraction. Their programme here Satur.
day will be one OF unusual attractiyeneSs to
lovers OF pure harmony, as well us to highly
cultivated musical people. We doubt, indeed,
II any musical event Of the season can com.
pare with this in recommendations to the
patronage OF the public, and we hope that
the hall will be crowded at both appearances.
HEARTS OF OAK.
Herne's Hearts OF Oak" Company will
presentthis realistic modern drama ut the
Opera House next Wednesday evening. To
those who remember the engagement Of the
same company here last year no words Of
praise are necessary. They still carry their
grist mill machinery, life saving" apparatus
and the appliances for producing the real
rain storm on the stage. The picturesque
drama, which is handsomely mounted, is
artistically rendered by Mr.. Herne as Terry
DennSon, an Gxcelentsupport being accord
ed by MesSrs. Harry Mainhall, Sidney Smith,
Charles II. Clarke, W. W. Pratt, Miss Katha.
rine Corcoran, Henrietta Bret and the other
members, not forgetting the live baby. Since
the presentation Of Hearts Of Oak In this
city last season several new effects have been
introduced in the stage machinery. An Cd.
portunity will be offered the patrons Of the
Wheeling Opera House on this occasion to
witness that rarest OF combinations, a good
play well performed, and having artistic and
mechanical effects never before equaled on
the stage.
