The New city Hall.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
1t seems that the committee in charge
Of the new City-Ilall matter have great
difficulty in getting plan for a suita-
bic building that can be built with the
amount Of money heretofore appro-
priated by vote of the people. Ap-
preciatiDg fully the difficulties the COM
mittee necessarily encounter, allow me
to suggest that an appropriation OF
100000 more for this purpose be sub
mittcd to the voters Of the city at the
coming spring election, with the under
standing that the building be built OI
Virginia granite and by day-labOr, in
stead of by contract. BY this means
the city would get better Hall, and
any additional cost would be more than
repaid by the employment afforded heI
citizens and by all the money being
spent with our own people.

The Minado at the Mozart Academy.

~
Herzog & Co., the lessees Of the New
Mozart Academy Of Music, opened the
regular season at this place of amuse-
ment yesterday, giving two perform
ances-a afternoon and night. There was
a fair audience at the first, and at night
the house was nearly filed. The piece
eiyep on both occasions was Gilbert
and Sullivan's Mikado," which is
quite familiar to our people by rea-
sen Of its frequent presentations here
this season. Of the piece, therefore, it
is unnecessary to speak. 1t is the COM
pany that must be noticed. They come
to Richmond claiming to be as good as
the best, asserting that the cheapness OF
the price Of admission would in no way
affect the merit Of the entertainment.
Judging them by the standard which
they have erected for themselves.
Justice to our amusement-seek-
els compels the statement that
the initial performances were not
up to what was promised. The chorus
is fairly good, but the cast does not
rise above mediocrity. As to the lack
of smoothness in the stage business,
that can easily be accounted for. II
was doubtless due to the fact that the
stage was new to the actors.
The managers should not, however,
be discouraged. 4 bad beginning
often makes a good ending. After
they have become better acquainted
with our people they will know better
what to do, and the experience gained
in their first endeavors will rebound to
their advantage. Such indeed is the
wish of the patrons of this new place Of
amusement.
The :. Mikado" " will be given this
afternoon and tonight.
