That others have the same opinion Of

The River

The White Eagle, which was due here
today, is running in the short line trade
above.
The st. Paul will be down at an early
hour tomorrow morning. If the river
continues to fall it is hardly probable that
the st. Paul will make another attempt tC
reach the city of her name.
The continual fall of the river is prov
ing a source of great annoyance to river
men, and the big steamers of the St
Louis and St. Paul Packet company find
much difficulty in making anything like
regular trips.

The Theatre Last Night.

Miss Abbott and her company gave 4
charming rendition OF Nerdi's RlgOletto y
at the Theatre last evening. There was 4
fine audience present, and the opera seemed
TO furnish universal and genuine pleasure.
Miss Abbott is certainly Il sweet Songs,resS,
and we have never before in any opera seen
her show off TO such advantage rs last
night. In her solo in the second act the
rare heXibility and culture OF her bird-like
voice was heard to great advantage. She
was forced TO respond 10 most enthusiastic
encore. She has greatly improved in her
acting, and with her present excellent sup
port She is sure to meet with the success TO
which her indOmltable energy entities her.
SlgnOr Ta9i1pietra gave a powerful inter-
pretatiOn OF the title-rOle. His phenomenal
baritone voice has lost none OF its power
and sweetness. while his RigolettO
showed a degree OF powerful and ntcIi-
gent dramatic action rarely found IN lyric
artist. He is without doubt by lar the
most finished baritone singer we have ever
heard The charming contralto Mrs. Zelda
Seguin appeared as " Madelena,' ana
scored another to the many operatic sue
ccsses that have made her such iavorite
with Richmond audiences. Miss Katy
Hovt, Signor Fabrni, and Mr. William
Broderick completed the very excellent
east Of last evenings performance. They
all sang and acted well. The quartette In
the last act was simply grand, and was
rapturously encored. The opera Is adj
milably suited to the capacity OF the COM
pany, which has small but efficient chorus.
The orchestra, under the direction OF Pro-
fes.or Rosewad, is large and efficient, but
consists OF an unusual combination OF in
struments. 1t is not evenly balanced.
owing to the p-edominance OF brass. In
the forte passages the voices were COM
pletely drowned. The substitution OF
'cello would add much to its effectiveness.
Miss Abbott Is to be congratulated upon
her decided success OF last evening. and at
her two remaining performances TINS AFTER
noon and tonight she will doubtless draw
crowded houses. SOnnambula " VIII be
