But do not want to be misrep

theatre are all so warm and cordial
and friendly to me it takes away
half the pleasure to imagine that

THE RAJAH VS.. THE DEVILS AUG
TION.
The rival bill posters appear to
have had carte blanche given them
in the display for this week, and as
a result the town is bepIastered with
cuts and lithos to degree that NAV
have hardly been paralIeled. Every,
one knows by this time how ex-
tremely strong are the two COM
panies which oppose each other
during three nights of this week.
The Rsjah is fortunate enough to
have ST cured one nights start Of its
opponent, snd there is no question
Of the audiences which will greet
them on that night. The name of
Pitt, one of the best English CHAR
acter actors on the stage, E. N. Hol-
land, Marion Fillmore and LeMOyne
are known in the theatrical world
as belonging to the very highest
rank. LeMoyne himself is one of
the few whose contract does not
bind him to play outside of New
York city, unless be likes. He
comes west in this instance merely
because he Lies. The DEVILS Auc,
ton, title that will bring the gal.
lery gods in sWarms from the Jordan
to the dry bench, is one of the few
attractions that possess the power
to make a Madison Square company
tremble. 1t will have all the draught
of Excelsior, because it has the
ballet In every conceivable shape
and form; it will also draw whert
Excelsior did not, because it has
dialogue, plot, music, change OF
scenery, contorsiOn absurdity, and
every other imaginable recon-
mendation needed: the three sG's'
understand that there is no attrac.
ton so powerful as sthe human
form diYine," and they have made
the most Of it in their printed dis
play.
MISS OLsEN'S BENEFIT.
We know OF absolutely no singer
in our community who com.
mands the came personal and
professional popularity as Miss
Agnes Olsen. Independent of her
musical accomplish ments, she car
lies with her such an individual
charm, so winning an address and
SO obliging a disposition, that she
has created friends wherever she
has made acquaintance. Her name
has been foremost in bentfts to
others ever since she took the public
by storm in the Saratoga quartet.e
and now that her name is put fo1-
ward as benefcisire, she should
gain the most generous response
from the public. 1t is whispered
that the sum derived from the occa-
sion will 60 towards securing Miss
Olsen position of less arduous ser
vice, and one that will allow an op.
portunity for greater indulgence OF
The gifts " hich nature has bestowed
upon her; that this may be tie Case
is the earnest wish Of all the young
lady's friends. The theatre has
been rendered for Tuesday, July 1st;
