HaverIy,s Minstreis-Adam Eden
1.-The Dime Museums.

1.-The Dime Museums.
Hayerly's minstrels are a picnic. They
make music and tickle the public from the
time of their street parade, just after ar
rival. until the curtain is down on their last
night. Last night they had good house
at the Grand and everybody was satisfied.
The opening is much the same
as has been given before by this company,
with a new drilling feature. The Cragg
family, always wonderful, have added two
or three to their list of acrobaGic feats, and
last night the house showed its appreciation
by lavish applause, But the wind-up is
about the best part of the show. 1t is a
ludicrous take-off ON the ''Mikado," called
the .sCigardo." The makeup is after the
regular opera style. and good many of
the songs in the .'Mikado" are given better
than in many of the regular Mix
ado'' companies. ''Kranky-too" is the
strolling musician who wants an office and
exhibits deep emotions over Lum Lum.
Other characters are Hash Heesh, Me Too,
Lone Jack and All There. The Three
Little Maids From School and three OF four
other ''Mikado" songs are sung, and there
is general recklessness and burlesque that
makes the whole thing ridiculous and laugh
able to the extreme.
The sale of seats for 'Alone In London, -
that has the boards the last half of the
week. will open this morning.
AT THE OLYMPIC.
Manager Hilton has hit upon strong
drawing card at the Olympic this week in
the Consolidated Gaiety and Lilly Clay COM
panies. 1t is much the strongest vaudeville
company that has been at this theater for
many weeks, and there are artists in the
coterie of actors who are remarkably clever
in their respective Specialtles. Alice
Townsend, whose fame as burleSque
prima donna has Outlived that of the once
popular Alice Oates, with whom she used
to play, is the central figure, and there
seems to be an added naivety in her man
ner. and an air of quiet abandon which,
coupled with graceful and willowy form,
renders her efforts highly pleasing. The
olio is made up of catchy songs, clever
dances, and Antonio does daring slack
wire act that seems almost Superhuman.
The program closes with a rafting bur-
lesque. entitled "a New AdamleSs Eden. "
it is claimed, now being presented for the
first time in the United States. The cos
tunes are rich and elegant, and the forms
that fill them are much above the average.
The marches and tableauX are strikingly
beautiful, and the critic can find but little
to speak disparagingly of in the entertain
ment.
AT THE MUSEUMS.
Col. Gore has added to his stock of freaks,
and this week has the most interesting eX-
hibition since he opened at the Family mu-
scum, on Fourth street. The trained lions
and Dr. Mclean, who showed considerable
ability as mesmeriSt, drew good audiences
yesterday.
Notwithstanding the sudden change in
temperature the attendance at Sackett &
Virgins Seventh Street museum yesterday
was great. The novelties presented in
clude many new features. The chief at
fractions upstairs are j. NJ. Wilson, the ex
pansionist: the human pin cushion; Anna
Leak Thompson. the armless lady; the
Albinos. On the stage Prof. johnson, the
mesmerist, presents his entertainment,
which is unusually good.
