RRDUCrIoN OF PRIcEs.-Tbe management
of the Metropolitan Thsater has generously,
and, as we think, judiciously, determined
upon reduction OF prices for the opening
night and week of the new theater. A card
in another column from ths manager ex-
plains that the auction plan for the opening
night was determined upon as means Of
reimbursing the treasury of the house for the
large and unusual OUTLAWS incident to an
opening occasion but 10 consideration of the
liberal patronage heretofore accorded this
place of amusement by the public, and in &C.
cordance with general desire, the prices will
bs placed at the figures usually charged on
other first class occasions. The box sheet
will be open from 10 A. NJ. to-day at Housh.
tons bookstore, at Gil J street.

of the extra convenience. The work was
performed by Superintendent Sprost of the
Sacramento Telephone Company.
