Under the heading of "a String of Mis-
statements" the Bee of last evening had the
following:
In its report of the meeting of the Board
of Trustees, the following occurs in this
mornings REcoRD-UNIoN: "Mavor Brown.
Trustee Jones and Street Commissioner
Nielsen all paid left-hand compliments to
certain reports that appeared in the
ErelliRg Bee during the week Nielsen
shied the first stone by explaining his con-
nection with getting two carloads of gran
tie ready to ship down the river on a
steamer at moments notice, in case of q
break between this city and Sutterville.
He rather sympathized with the party who
was not able to make more truthful state
ment or more sensible criticism. Trustee
Jones denounced the item, so far as it re-
terred 10 him, as absolutely untrue. He
however, was aware that the public did not
believe all they read, especially that ema-
mating from certain quarters" No such
statements were made at the meeting. The
Bee was not mentioned, neither was any
reference made to any paper whatever;
neither did the Mayor nor any of the Trus-
tees make any of the denuncatory remarks
attributed to them.

METROPOLITAN THEATER-The California
Theater Company will this evening present
the emotional drama, Wife and Child"
1t is pronounced by those who have seen it
pure and wholesome society play, the &C
ton OF which is divided between New
York and London. The central figures
are an American artist and his wife, who
was an Englishwoman of rank. The artist
becomes blind, and his domestic happiness
is wrecked by the malicious interference of
relatives. Involved is a pleasant vein of
comedy, and many exceedingly strong
emotional scenes. In this play Mr.. Hol-
land has an exceptionally strong part. The
production of the drama introduces Mrs.
Mckee Rankin, an accomplished dramatic
artist, and ]. J. Wallace, one Of the best of
personators of old men. The strength of
the company, which is very great, and
numerically exceeds that of any legiti-
mate dramatic troupe brought to this CITY
in recent years, is brought out by this plav.
The cast for the play will be precisely the
same as that when the piece was produced
at the California Theater, San Francisco.
last month. 1t is to be hoped that public
appreciation OF firstclass legitimate dra-
matte company will be manifest in large
attendance. Not in years has such a COM
bination of meritorious artists been
brought to Sacramento, and discourage
ment OF this company will go far toward
preventing others of like character visiting
us. The orchestra, last evening enlarged
and strengthened, led by Mr.. Garlisch, a
thoroughly competent musician added
very much to the pleasure of the evenings
entertainment. As novelty, Mr. Garlisch
mas introduced with entire success baritone
solos by himself, that testify to his in
genuity and vocal ability.
