Great success.

The He's Opera Company gave the Bohsm
ian Gul 10 very IsTg- audience yesterdsy /
sf!erGoon, and III a CT. ditsbie manner. The |
principal Interest In the perform sace hinged /
upJn me appearances OF Miss g ace Hill
new recruit, az "Arliae" Tue young lads |
has a pump aud pleasing person, a sweet |
though not we'll b.lsncsd voice, and made a |
very favorable impression. Her high nOtes |
sre as pure and distinct Ae those OF a canary. |
the company closed lis engagement aud The |
professional season last night win WaTiGed. |
Gne attendance WAS very good, considering
the threat of rain, and with Mics Abbie Car
riUgton 10 the title role, 1t Is scarcely necss
sary 10 add that the audience was well en-
teItained. No singer 10 English opera
who has visited Memphis ever gave more
genuine pleasure TO so audience thsn Ms
Carrinstou i'd last night. Her mariana"
wss a well stud ed, hut mos: graceful per
forusucs, and =he was in magnificent voice.
Every one OF her solos and every concerted
niece 10 which she took part ~as RID
manded. "Scenes that are Brightest"
sang with a taste and brilliancy OF exeeu
! ion that electrified the audience, and the
enthusiasm Was Tsdoubled when sue gave
Arditi's polka, Flor 6i Marguerite The
latter was a gem Of cslization. 1t is TO
be hoped that Miss Carriag:ou will visit
| The only Other noticeable features OF the
performance were the excellence OF
| Miss Emma Eisner's ''LszzIrillo," and
he uuaIloyed baGness of ApPleby's "Don
| Gear" Tuis was thu second engagement
OF the Hes. company the pfesen. season, and

THE SUCCESS OF THE SEASON.
The attractions we're good enough in thei
d. way, probably equal 10 lhose thai Sny plac
. of the sizs of Memphis gets, and the toeAt'
| came out ahead. The receipts, h0wevel
were considerably lessened by the to
. frequent failure OF companiss to put i
| an appearance, n.oes ,i,sling the closin
\ OF the house Tor The time. Nest OF the di'
! appointing comp MES, too, notably ihose q
Chas, WGndham and Nile. Rhea, wer
| looked forward TO with interest, and Houl
l have drawn largely. The closing Of thea
l ter during the season ia always bad policy
I people easily get oul + the habit Of attend
ing, and when this is done il is very hari
get tbs N back.
THE LOCAL MASAGEAENT
l has been entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Fran
I Gray has perforated the difficult feat {
| Pleasing every body. His assistants, hlessr
I Z. A. Youog, Howell Robh and A j. Mo
/ Lendon are also 10 be commended Tor coul
| ;ssy snd attention to business. Brooks
Dickson could no, do better than 10 retail
1 hem in their pressHt positions.
