A Cloud With "a Silver Lining.
Tie clouds, which lowered around thu
'Brssie Grey Opera Compauy"as as it clo.e.
its week at the Academy OF Music and wh'cl
on last Monday morning indicated destruc.
tiun to that company, were suddenly rife,
by the rainbow of promise. In the dim out.
lines of this rainbow were seen the refiec.
tions of the generous manager of the Ope,i
House, Mr.. Baylis, the magnanimous drec
tors of the Opera House, the sympathetn
Col. Anfenger and the ever ready champion.
of distress, the daily press of this city.
The simple history Of the case as givel
over their signatures is this. Induced b,
misrepresentation of the popularity of th,
Academy Of Music, a weeks engagement a
said house was commenced Monday weoL
closing last Saturday night N1twithstand.
ing the favo abl. comments ofthe daily pres,
the company played to q naked house and az
result hotel expenses were not met. Tha
the fault was not III the company is amply Il
monstrated by the oven flowing throng whlc
greeted tho performance at the Opera House
on last Monday night.

staggering blow which the Academy o,
Music inierentially II ceived On last Mouda,

pierced to it's very vitals.

Id,al,," knowing full we'll that the Ideals
had been booked ior the Ofera House for
year, il forfeited the respect aud oonfidenc,
of the genei al public.
Tne citizens of Wilmington invite geneI
Gus rivalry in every department of mdustr,
aud amusement but they are at the sam,
time justly jealous of the means TO-. the ac
complishment Of the end.
The eaIly management of the Academ,
ant'gonized, unnecessarily, large number
of what should have been friendly Interests,
and however unjust it may be to hold the pre-.
sent management responsible for that want
of wisdom, yet it seems to be one of thos,
cases where tho sins Of the fathers descend
unto the children.
One of the attaches of the Bessie Gre,
Company significantly remarked as he SUI
veyed Tho large aud enthusiastic audienc,
at the Orora, House Monday night, that "lh,
mistake of this company was not in coming
to Wilmington but was, in getting into The
wrong house during the preceding week"
