METROPOLITAN THEATER. - The Nellie
Boyd Dramatic Troupe appeared to far bet
ter advantage in ARTICLE AZ" last evening
than in any play it has yet presented. Miss
Boyd's Cora, while differing essentially from
that of Jeffreys-Lswis was admirable work
1t was tenderer picture than that drawn by
Miss Lewis, more emotional and less vigor-
Gus, less vengeful in its phases of passion,
but more touching aud womanly in its pa
thetic periodic. It was dramatic art work of
higher order than anything Miss Boyd has
yet given us, and proves her capacity to be
much greater than had been supposed. Mr.
Roberts had narrower field than afforded
him in " Celebrated Csse," but he made the
part acceptable. Mr. Hatch gave the brief
est and best work be has presented. The
part was an unsttractive one-s wine-bibbing
fop-but his Characterization of it was good
dramatic work throughout. So, too, Mr..
Ellerslie developed broader abilities than had
been credited to him, and filed well a most
important role. The whole troupe, indeed,
appeared to excellent advantage, and gave a
very even and finished performance To-
night the tragic drama, "Lucretia Bxgis."
ANOTHER HEARD FRoM-Yesterday morn
ing, when the daughter of one of Sacrament
tos prominent merchants picked up the
RECORD UNION, her eye rested on the local
item regarding the letter received by a young
lady in upper town, signed by w. T. J. Car
sor, she reached up to the mantel, took down
a letter she had received the day before, ana
found that it was similar in every respect to
the one described. She handed over the let
ter to her father. 1t requested the young
lady to meet him en- Wednesday evening at q
certain street corner at o'clock. The other
girl he requested to meet him the same even
ing an hour later. The father and police
man set trap to catch the rascal, and uu-
doubtedly would have succeeded il the officer
had been little more cautious in his move
ments. This much has been found out, how
ever; the rascal is known 10 thu officers, and
will be carefully looked after. He is what is
styled genuine masher, aud if he is not
little cautions about the indiscriminate way
be scstters his messages of love through the
Postoffice, he will be " mashed la John
L. Sullivan style.
