night the main and upper halls were
crowded. The guests found new interes
in the exhibits. Ii is safe to say that few
persons have examined all the novel anG
, suggestive exhibits. Even some of til,

season of the exhibition. She was twice

by the iberality of Mr.. Butler. On
a large new stage, with heavy drap-
| cry, a series of charming tableau1

unanimous verdict was that nothing more
effective or picturesque in its innocency
has been given in this city in years The
little folks engaging in it were Lou and
Gale Van Kirk, Edith Jennings, Lima
| Lyon, Harry Dodge. Pearl jackson and
Edna Cooley. The two little ones last

at the piano. The orchestra. led by Mr..

At no time during the two weeks have
this people shown any lack of interest in
the scientific and natural history exhibits,

MErRoroITa3 THEArER-Last night at
the Metropolitan Thcater was presented fol
the first time in this city one Of the best
American meIodramatic plays that ha. been
put upon the boards The shadows Of a
Grea, City 1t was given to a very good
and decidedly critical audience. To say
that it is one Of the most satisfactory enter
iainmcnts shat has been enjoyed in Sacra-
mcrto for a long time, is putting it very
mildly The stage settings are entirely new
here. the 0ten-seen and familiar flats and
backgrounds Of the Metropolitan being en-
tirely ignored, the company using the same
stage settings they did in New York, where
tho play had run of many months, and
III san Francisco for 4 number OF weeks.
The same cast of characters render il
here as did in the metropolis ard the re-
suit was last evening q delighted dress
. circle and gallery The interest in
the play never flags for a moment
from the commencement of the first 10 the
close Of the fifth ami last act. Tie reyolv-
ing scenery is the finest ever presented on
the Metropolitan stage, the mechanical poT-
tons working to Il charm, and there not
appearing a hitch at.any point. The play is
based upon q highly interesting story, en-
uacing the cunning OF detectives, tie cor
rupt practice Of officials, the intrigues OF
shylOcks. the devotion OF friends, the love
of relatives in fact it embraces nearly
every trait in the hu-.!an character, with
more or less of the familiar incidents and
relations usually to be found in such plays
but rendered with an originality and fresh
ness which make il unlike all others
/ Every character IS well represented and
! strongly presented Although dealing
, with the lower class OF people, it is abso
! luteIy clean and free from any yulgarity
