 MONTE CRIsTo.
 On Friday evening MT. James O,Neil will appear at the New Haven Opera House as ! the Count of Monte Cristo. This brilliant young actor has mado so rapid an advance ment as a star actor that he refused an offer of $20,0O0 to support Mary Anderson this season. A very large amount of scenery and mechanical appliances will be brought from New York and the piece will be magnificent ly mounted.
 THATCHER, PRIMROSE & WEST. The engagement of Thatcher, Primrose & Vests minstrels at the Boston Theater last week WAS attended with such great suc- cess that the receipts for the week amounted to $13, 3,O00 Several new features have been added and the professional gymnasts, the Nelson brothers, made great sensation by the performance of marvellous feats. The company appears Wednesday night at Carll s Opera House.
 AROUND THE WORLD.
 Quite large audience witnessed the Kiral- fy Brothers production of "Around the World in Eighty Days" at Carll's Opera House last evening. The performance was in every way worthy of patronage. The scenery and ballet were all that could be de- 8ired. Among the new features were the Homage la Beaute" by Mile. De Rosa and Mons. Arnold and the "Jersey Light Guard'' by eight seconda danseuses, both of which received encores. The brigand performance of the Mignani troupe was, however, the gem of the evening. These musical artists, dress ed as artisans, play ed selections with such instruments as stone hammers paving stones, trumpets disguised as street brooms, and by their grotesque acting amused the audience as much as by their music. The piece will be repeated this evening and ought to re- ceive large audience.
 THE YELLOW DWARF.
 A very pretty scene met the gaze of the AuuuIoUlS WuO 5tIodulc0 4uIo Guo ALAcIACdu Theater last evening to witness the first American production of "The Yellow Dwarf. J Manager Eldridge's taste and enterprise were seen in the handsome decorations and improve ments that had been made during the sum- mer, and the. great audience present-over- flowing the seating capacity aud standing in the aisles and wherever they could find foot ing-were loud in praise of the resplendent appearance of the cosy family resort. When the curtain went up Prof. Imro Fox, the great European illusionist, mystifed and de-
 lighted the audience by his clever tricks of 1egerdemain. Dick Hume and Jen- nie Lindsay recieved an ovation and were as clever as ever in their charming comedy sketch. La Petite Pauline, Leopold and Bunnen and the Cor man brothers were well received. Little Ada Melrose was charming in her songs, making a great hit in her rendering of ''It's English, you know" She is very clever little ar tist, and well deserved the loud applause that greeted her efforts. After the Silbons had appeared in their wonderful mid-air flights the musical burlesque "The Yellow Dwarf' was put on, and considering that it was it's first production in this country was very well presented. A little judicious pruning of the dialogu ,eand little more action in the char acter of the Princess taken by Miss Flossie Palmer, would be decided improvement. She is entirely too tame, almost dreary in fact, for character in which animation is the chief charm. The orchestra was efficient as ever. ''The Yellow Dwarf" will be pre- sented during the week and Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
