dental to completing the work OF the vast
auditorium. The interior of the house is
now lathed and the work of plastering will
| be commenced this week. The roof has
also been timed and the scenic artists
will get to work by the middle of the week
The work of putting in the stage grooves
is also under way, and two car loads Of the
finish, elegantly carved arrived
yesterday. Skilled mechanics are already
at work on the new passage leading from
the grand entrance, and by q unique ar
rangement the new passage being several
feet lower than the present one, the work
will be entirely completed by the time the
Opera house is finished. The old entrance
will be used up to the Saturday night be-
