METROPOLITAN THEATER.-At the Metro
p9litan next Friday, Saturday and Sunday
nights, and at Saturdays matir ee, NJ. B.
Leavitt'd European Speciality Combination,
claimed to be composed of leading artists of
the European vaudeville stage, will appear.
The company includes Wainratts, King of
the Wire" the Salbini trio of bicyclists
John, Lily and Lola; the "Shamrockp,'
Dave ConrOy, NJ. Thompson. Matt. DAILY and
John Flyn Mis- Lottie Elliott, skipping
rope and endurance dsnseuse; Darlington

comedian and concertina soloist; Andy and
Annie Hughes, comedy artists GOldie and
St.Clair, statue clog dancers; Fred Mathews,
facial mimic and grotesque dancer; Bennett
and Gardiner, comedians and vocllists; Dan.
Mason, German conique, and Baby Selbini,
the midget bicyclist. If these people are
even nearly as good as they are represented
TO be, fine entertainment may be autici-
pated and certainly LeavitS has had sufh.
cient experience on the coast to know better
than to bring mediocre talent so far.
THE BOND CAsEs-The Supreme Court
having early last week reversed the Superior
Court decision in the case of Meyer VS.. Por.
ter, and TO the effect that the latter must pay
the interest coupons Of the plaintiff upon
| presentation, the case OF Hausmeister We.
| Porter has now been decided by Department
| One Of the Supreme Court, upon the au-
| tn ority Of Meyer va Porter" reversing judg-
ment below in this case also, and IN sub
stance directing that fifty five per cent. of the
| entire receipts from water rents, instead OF
the net receipts, be placed in the sinking and
| interest fund. The last decision would in
! principle seem to dispose of the question IS
| to the entire evenues being liable to having
| the fifty-fye psr cent. taken from them for
! the sinking and interest fund. If nothing
happens to that decision in the case Of Meyer
vs.. Porter, it is likely to be the sll-5ufficient
authority upon which TO reverse and decide
| all the remaining cases concerning the city 8
indebtedness.
