In speaking of Kiralfy Bros. BLACK
Crook, = the Louisville Commercial says
that in plays of this character the ballet
constitutes the chief charm, and when
one not unfamiliar with such gestic ca
pers finds an amount of newness sufficient
to enlist admiration, there is an uncon-
scious but well deserved tribute paid to
the skill and ability of the ballet master
In motion, in grouping and in costuming
there is equal excellence to commend, for
there is no change in the design of dress
either in pattern or the contrasts of color
The piece never was better presented in
point of scenery, and it is nicely acted.
The costumes are very rich, varied and
picturesque, the figures admirably per-
formed and the majority of the characters
very agreeable in appearance.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. 19-The members
of the jury in the Canonchet ejectment case
state that the sole ground of the verdict for
the defendant was the lack of evidence to
prove that Sprague was in possession of
Canonchet They reasoned that had Sprague
and Chaffee, been in possession, Chaffee
could not have given Sprague permission to
occupy It, When the judge arose to charge
the jury, this official declaration was missing,
but as the document was last seen in the
hands of counsel for the defense, they. at the
demand of the plaintiff, waived the declara-
ton, and the court charged the jury SUISSE
quently. When the jury returned with
the waiver and insisted on the production of
the missing declaration. 1t, however, could
not be found and the verdict was accepted
for the defendant.
