Amusements.
METROPOLITAN THEATER. - The Cogill
Brothers Speciality Company opened to
large audience last night. 1t is one of the
most original variety companies. Charles
ready and witty as the most ardent lover of
a good laugh can desire. Harry Cogill is a
polished comedy character actor and a fine
ballad singer. Shillito, the musical clown,
is an original genius, full of mirth and
music George and Sadie Fairfield are good
character rapid-change artists and clog
dancers, and Harry Orndorff is u
clever Irish impersonator. In one
act the CoghillS present two char
acters in which the broadest contrast
is made aud the underlying wit of which
is in the burlesque of one upon the other.
The audience was kept in merry humor
from the opening to the close, and the en-
cores were so frequent as to become almost
tiresome. The musical part of the enter
tainment is conducted wholly to piano
accompaniment by James Hayes, who is u
superior accompanist. This afternoon a
matinee, tonight change of programme,
tomorrow night a speciality performance.
The prices have scaled down to range from
10 cents TO % cents-figures that would
prove profitable for all troupes.
THE T1voLI.-Mr Ward and Miss Carrie
Ward are about to conclude their engage
ment To-day al P. NJ. A Celebrated
Case will be given for matinee. and to-
night and tomorrow night will be the
last times of its presentation. Mr.. Ward
has been very faithful during his long en-
gagement. He is pains-taking and ex-
perienced actor, and has proven that at the
'rivol the drama may be represented, by
the production of plays above the level OF
comic opera and burlesque.
NASHVILLE STUDENT JUBILEE SINGERS
There was a very large and highly dc
lighted audience at the Congregational
church last evening to hear the Nashville
Students or Colored Jubilee Singers. The
published programme consisted Of twenty
| six numbers, but the demonstrations of APP
! probation We're so spontaneous upon the
| part of the audience that two or three re-
| calls were often made of some popular
piece, thus extending the programme tt
some thirty-scyen numbers, and yet more
would have been listened to with undi-
yided attention. A matinee concert vii
| be given this afternoon at half past two
O'Clock where admission will be fifty cent!
for adults and twenty-five cents for children
| The closing concert OF the Jubilee Sing
erS viii be given this evening at the same
| place, when an entire new programme vii
| be presented with the exception Of few
of the most popular pieces, which will 81
repeated by nur.crois requests. The tick
cts for evening will be fifty cents, o
seyenty-tive for reserved seats, which cal
be procured al Sawte!le's book store.

portance to the city and county OF Sacra
mento than the promotion OF increase

adjoining counties tributary to US and III
