AMERICAN THEATER.

The new management at this house scored a new hit with the splendid company that appeared last evening. In fact, each new attraction given by them seems stronger than the preceding. w J. Mills in "The Comic Congress- gave a novel and unique act that won for him round upon round of applause. The Courtland sisters won sever al recalls by their fine singing; they grow in favor with every appearance. Perry and Lulu Ryan, Archer and Smith, and Miss Belle Sutton also made pleasant impress sion and received liberal applause. Harvey Collins afterpiece, "A Devil of a Scrape, " was one of the funniest yet seen in the house. and MT. Collins as "Turrel Futile Grubb. the banker" gave an impersonation that kept the large audience in the merriest mood. The company is deserving of liberal patronage, and the new management should be supported most iberally while they pro vide such excellent attractions as have been presented during their regime.

believe their own confident expressions about

as good time as any to put their popularity
