THREE GRAND OPERAS BY THE ABBOTT co.
 Manager Carll arranged with Manager Pratt of the Emma Abbott company yester- day for three grand operas by the company at Carlls Opera House March and 9 with matinee on the 9th. Since Miss Abbott was last in this city she has entirely reorganized her company, which is now pronounced a superb organization. The prima donna her self was never in better voice and this season has been brilliantly successful one for her. Mignon will be given Monday even ing March 8, the Mikado at the matinee on the 9th, and Traviata in the even ing In Traviata Miss Abbott has scored some of her best hits of the season. Among the principals this year are: Laura Bellini and Lizzie Annandale, two well known stars in the musical Armament; Fernando Niche lena, the Spanish tenor, who has so suddenly leaped into prominence; Aontegrif- fo, the celebrated tenor, whose successes when singing with Hauk and Gerster are we'll remembered; Pruette, young Ameri- can baritone, who has already made repu- tation; Broderick, the popular basso and Dixon, the inimitable uffo-baritone.
 Notwithstanding the strength of the at fractions, the prices for the best reserved seats will be but one dollar.

 CARLLs OPERA HOUSE.

 AMERICAN THEATER.
 The Parneu fund is receiving big boom at the American Theater this week, the re- ceipts for each performance going to that worthy object. A frst-class company is playing to good business The performance concludes with a roaring afterpieee.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 Tomorrow and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon at this opera house, "Fogg's Ferry" will be produced by Miss Lizzie Evans and her company. An ex- change says: sHer success was remarkable, and her reception at the hands of both press and public uniformly cordial to the point of enthusiasm Her improvement has been 
 doubtedly the peer of any soubrette actress on the stage. By many of the critics she is considered the best"
 YOUNG MRS. WINTHROP.
 This great Madison Square Theater success will be produced at the New Haven Opera House on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week. The New York Tribune in speaking of the play says: ''Mr. Bronson Towards new play at the Madison Square Theater has been tried and not found want ing. During the first two nights of it's per formance the audiences have been large and appreciative, and Young Mrs. Winthrop certainly seems destined to enjoy as long lease of life as either of her predecessors, Hazel Kirke' or sEsmeralda. The play is original, simple but ingenious, the charac- ters assorted, and the dialogue is bright, fresh and at times poetic. There is much that is pathetic in the lines, and serious, elevated tone pervades the whole perform ance."
