After a weeks absence the Boston
Ideals returned to the st. Paul Grand last
night to complete their season engagement
in this city, and were welcomed by the
largest and most demonStrative audience
that has smiled upou this popular company
during the present season. Victor the
Bluestocking" was on the boards and was
rendered just as the Ideals know how to
present it, with De Lussan, Huntington,
Barnaby and Mcdonald I'm the cast.
De Lussan received an ovation when
she sang the Paris Town song.
A response to six encores did
not satisfy the delighted audience, and
when the seventh was given, the favorite
little sprite of the opera stage shook her
head and said nay, but the more she denied
the more the audience stamped, and clapped
and shouted. until at last she was COM
PEELED to yield and sing it the seventh
time. Barnaby, too, was the recipient of
unusual attention, and so embarrassed was
he by the demonstration that he almost
forgot to gather up the floral offerings,
which were shOwered upon the stage from
box and balcony. Tonight the maid of
Honor" Saturday matinee, 1.-The
Musketeers," and Saturday evening
the engagement will close with
'Adina" the prettiest of all the repertoire.
''Adina" was the opening opera of the
present engagement, in which DE Lussan
figures most brilliantly, and the expectation
is that st. Paul opera-goers will give the
Ideal company farewell audience Satur-
day night worthy of the company's popu-
larity in this city.
The sale of seats for the Shadows of a
Great City," which is the attraction at the
Grand next week, will begin to-day.
An entertainment was given at the Tenn
perance Union and Bethel mission rooms
last night, which included musical and
literary numbers. Among those taking
part were Mrs. ii. o. Cooke, Miss Nellie
Mahon, @. L.COleman and H.W. Springer.
The usual entertainment will be given Sat-
urday evening.
