There was variation in the performance
at lIerzog's Opera House last night which
was not printed on the programme. In the
second act the management did the grace.

chorus with u handsome bouquet. This
little innovation evidently pleased them all
judging from the broad smile that covered
the face of each one as she came forward
and made her little bow. But this did moi
end the pleasant features of the evening.
AS soon as the curtain iell on the last act
the stage was cleared aud a large table

steps, &c. When all was ready Manager

but to the real articles. The CRITIC hat
