METEoFoLrAN THEArER. - Edouin &
Sanger's Sparks Company opened to a
good house at the Metropolitan Theater
last night, in the specially extravaganza
& L
pany presents in this bit of drollery one of
The " funniest" plays and oldest bits of
nonsense ever given here. The pretense Is
not made for it that it is any thing else
than a most absurd and excessive laughter
provoking conglomcration of burlesque
farce, music, charaCter-acting dancing and
speciality business. Mr.. Bowser, the orig
inal Pittacus Green of 1" Hazel kirle." is
the leading comedian but not more oddly
comical or mirth-provofIing than Eugene
Garfield in the first supporting part. Miss
Lena Melville, the leading lady, is of the
Lolita order of sprites and her vivacity
agility and mimetic ability are something
to excite admiration, and certainly won
for her deserved applause. She is closely
approached, and in some respects eQuallcd
by Marietta Nash, the chambermaid" of
the piece. Rose and May Keys are well
personated by two ladies of musical abil-
ity, one Of whom Is a familiar face upon
the California stage. There is introduced
IN the hotel scene an upper and lower
story a winding staircase, an elevator and
other features of a hotel Office. The com

and though the play is long, a shade too
long for a hot night, the audience was held

Jackson and a party of ladies, writes the
RECORD UNION from Soda Springs, Placer
county, under date of the 9th instant, as
follows After having broken roads, built
bridges and shOveled snow, we are at the
present writing camped at Soda Springs
where there is no snow, and everything is
pleasant and springlike. ! am sorry Messrs.
Merkendollar and Gibble, after walking
out through the snow with us from Sum
nit valley to the ice lakes, were so dis
heartened at the prospect before them as to
return to Sacramento with such a report as
they gave, according to an item in your
columns. Had they kept in our wake
they might now have been in one of the
most beautiful places in the Sierras, and
might have been as fortunate as we were
in reaching camp with two fine spike
bucks obtained en- route. We find our
selves the first campers this year not hay
ing allowed a few broken bridges or banks
of snow 10 deter us after having started out.
/ do not think the hotel viii be opened
here this season. VIII you dous the honor
of naming our camp? We would like
