SUMMARY.

The Theatre Last Night.

The almost iaultless rendition last eye-
ming by the Boston Ideals OF M0Zarts
beautiful work, the Marriage OF Figaro,
demonstrated very clearly that this COM
pany have capacity far above the require
ments for the opera bouffe OF the day. In
the operas given on the preceding nights
they neither did themselves fun justice nor
the light compositions they essayed. The
performance last evening was delightful
one, and seemed to give thorough satisfac-
tiOn. The audience, which was large
and fashionable one, warmed up gradual
ly from the beginning until the close
OF the third act, when upon the fin
ished and fOrcible rendering OF the
septette they became really enthusiastic.
The curtain had to be rung up twice in re-
sponse to the storm OF applause which fol-
lowed. Miss Phillips, as CherubinO,"
had opportunity to show her superior vocal
powers, and her hearers showed their ap-
probation of them by flattering enc0reS.
The beautiful duet between Miss Stone and
Miss Ulmar was one Of the decided features
OF the evening. II was exquisitely rem
dered and warmly applauded. Mr.. Whit
ney made an excellent "FigarO," both As
to his acting and singing, and the same
may be said Of Mr.. Macdonald in the role
OF "Count Almayiya." Miss Burton, Mr..
Morsell, and Mr.. rockingham rendered
their respective parts very aceeptably.
The Marriage OF Figaro last evening
called to mind the last time that opera was
given in Richmond during the winter OF
1876. 1t was then performed by the Kel-
logg troupe, and theatre party was given
by Mr.. Oliver SchOolcraft. There were
about thirty couples in full dress, and they
occupied the centre section of the dress
circle. OF those thirty couples almost half
have since married just as they were paired
off that night. II can hardly be said, how
ever. that the inspiration was drawn from
the marriage Of Figaro.
This afternoon at the matinee the Ideals
will be seen to great advantage in the
"Chimes Of Normandy" and tonight they
will close their engagement In "The Mus
keteers." This latter opera has never been
played in Richmond, and is said to be very
bright and funny.

The 4. Ideals >, About Town.

The Boston Ideal Opera Company visited
on Thursday the extensive tobacco factory
OF Messrs. u. III. Mayo & Brother of this city.
and were highly pleased with their visit and
the operations OF this well-regulated estsb-
lishment. They were especially pleased
with the singing OF the operatives In the
leaf department and mandatory, and i'm
return In both Of these departments the
ladies and gentlemen OF the company de-
lightfully entertained the proprietors and
their employees with several OF their beauti-
full selections. So artistic and YET simple
was this music that they almost enchanted
the colored operatives and all who were
80 fortunate As 10 be present. This is in
deed a company OF the best and most re-
fined talent that has ever visited Rich
mond, all showing the highest degree OF
culture and musical talent. Mr. MayO
made fitting and eloquent speech on the
occasion.
Al night, alter the opera, the male por-
ton OF the company were entertained at
Krause's Hotel by several members oi

and Il. Andrews Commandery, No. l3.

the male chorus and Messrs. whitney.
Karl, Barnaby, MoTsel. Macdonald, and

selections. The entertainment was gwen
chiefly in honor Of Sir knight Barnaby. c'

humor OF this gentleman added no little to
the enjoyment OF the evening.

THE CONSOLIDATION.
Conference Between tho Committees
OF the senate and Chamber
or Commerce.

The Senate Committee on Roads met yes
terday morning and took up Senate bill
providing for the consolidation OF the
Richmond and Danville and the Virginia
Midland Railroad Companies. Judge w.
w. Crump, Colonel John B. Purcell, and
Messrs. j. B. Pace, A. l.. Elicit, and X.
+. Williams. from the Chamber Of Com
merce, appeared before the committee.
and spoke In favor OF certain amendments
to the bill. The principal amendment In
sisted on Is that there shall be no dis
elimination In freight rates made In favor
OF Baltimore as against Richmond. The
Chamber OF Commerce committee are will
Ing to let the present relative rates con-
tinue, but unless that Is agreed TO the
Chambers committee will do sll In their
power to accomplish the defeat OF the bill,
and will invoke the assistance OF Rich
mond's friends everywhere TO that end
Messrs. Wickham, Koiner, and Warwick,
OF the Senate committee, expressed them
selves very favorably to the wishes OF Rich
mond; which is In substance that in
making southern rates. for example. the
consolidated company shaIl'not be permit
ted to ignore the fact that Richmond Is
some $50 miles south OF Baltimore.
The two committees were In session
when the hour OF II N. arrived, and the
Senate committee arose, leaving the Cham
ber's committee and Colonel Buford 20
confer as to the proposed amendment.
Colonel Buford will have to .commlnl-
cate with gentlemen in the North before
he can say whether the anti-discriminstion
amendment will be acceptable.

PARADE or THE MILITARY-NArIoyAL SALUTE
AND CLOSING or STATE OPPICEs.


AND CLOSING or STATE 0PPICEs.
The Legislature did not adjourn yester-
day in respect to the memory Of the Father
OF his Country, but the military OF the city
paraded and were reviewed by his Excel :
iency Governor William Il. Cameron, an
national salute OF thirty eight guns was
fred by the Howitzers.
The Governor issued orders, causing the
State offices 10 be closed; the banks and
post-ofice were also closed. but there was
nothing like formal or general observance
| OF the day.
| In old times the brave soldier-boys met
with more cordial support In their efforts
to celebrate the birthday OF Washington,
and 1t Is to be hoped that the old spirit
will return. and with the recurring anni-
versaries may come more enthusiastic
observance Of the occasion.
The First Regiment Virginia Infantry,
Colonel G. j. Anderson commanding,
formed on Seventh street 10 front Of their
armory, and the Richmond Light Infantry
Blues, Captain Andrew PizziDi at their
armory, on the same street. Then the line
was formed as follows: Police, band, First
regiment, Blues, staff First battalion artil-
lery, Howitzers-in the order named; and
the line OF march was carried ont as fol-
lows Along Broad, Second, Grace, Pine,
Franklin, Fifth, Main, Fifteenth, and
around to the Capitol Square.
Governor Cameron stood upon the porch
OF the Executive Mansion and reviewed
the troops as they passed, after which they
reentered the Capitol Square, and the in
fantry had dress parade, while o detach.
ment of the Howitzers Numbered Il ma
tional salute OF thuty-eight guns. The
commands then moved TO their respective
armories. The Blues gave their friends q
collation., which was very much enjoyed,
and the Grays entertained guests at a
supper in their rooms al the Armory.
During the ceremonies on the Square
thousands Of people crowded the grounds.
1t was remarkable TO see what an assem-
blage gathered TO look at the soldiers, and
it was wondered whether they came out
simply TO see the soldiers or whether with
this curiosity there was also mingled a
spice OF patriotic reverence for the first
! President Of the United States.
