The Dalys appeared last evening to lair
house below and large audience above, in
their creation, entitled " Vacation; OF, Har-
ward VS.. Yale It is a pleasant farce
comedy, and open to the least of criticism
because of the objections tbat attach to the
great mass of recent humorous and low
comedy productions. The athletic exer-
cises by the two Days and some of their
support are especially good The singing
by the troupe is pleasing throughout To-
night the Days appear i'll a new extrava-
CANT comedy, entitled Upside Down"

port to the Days. Little Mack" the dwarf:
Miss Ince, who is capital in the burlesque-
ing of old maids; c. A. Phillips, very
clever comedian, with all the other sup
port, are announced to appear in the new
piece, in which new and original songs and
music will be introduced. There will be
no matinee to-day 1t is to be regretted
that the owner of the Opera House cannot
see his way clear to placing hot air fur
mace in the building. It would not involve
heavy cost, and would contribute much to
the comfort of the patrons of the house
and tend to increase their numbers The
management very much improved the
temperature of the atmosphere of the audi
torium last night by early lighting, but il is
