CARNIVAL OF VENICE"
The Venetian Merchants Family
Troubles as Sung by the ABB
hntt Com Etc.

The Venetian Merchants Family
Troubles as Sung by the Abb
bolt Company--Notes Etc.
Again did the Abbott Opera company
appear to large audience last night
and rendered Petrella's opera comique,
Carnival OF Venice" Everybody
knows the story OF the opera, OF the vain
longings Of the two lovely daughters OF
the Venetian merchant, MuziO, and
how, during the absence OF their dOting
father, In the carnival time, they gaire
their freedom from their domestic
prison by the aid Of Cola, the servant,
and met their lovers, Orestes and Pyla-
des, and the storm that ensued when the
Old man discovers the escape. The
opera is full OF melody and comedy, the
latter being chiefly furnished by Mr..
Walter Allen and Miss Annandale. Al
len, as "Cola," was inimitatle;
his singing was good, he hav-
ing an excellent voice, but his
greatest hit was made where he goes TO
the carnival dressed as a ballet girl,
with tarlatan skirt and hands encased IN
q boxing glove and stocking. He exc
cuted a laughsble takeof on the ballet
and his dancing and gestures were
roundly ap, lauded and encored. Miss
Annandale as MimOsa, the spinster
sister of MuZio and chaperone OF the
girls, Albina and Romilla, carried her
part well. She had not much fine sing
ing to do, but like Allen, her comedy
business made up for Ii and furnished
the life of the evening. Pruette and
Miohslens as Pylades and Ofestes, the
lovers OF the girls, sang well and acted
well, while little MontegrifiO as the
count. showed himself bsshfully TO his
many admirers in the audience.
Miss Abbott and Miss Helen Bertrsm
as Albina and Romilla, Of course, were
pretty, very pretty and captured the
biggest share Of applause, Miss Abbott
being called before the curtain several
times.
Broderlck's solo III any Man his
Family would Manage" was his best of
the evening.
Annandaie's little simper and Won
derful skip is worked down to fine

The drill and military evolutions Of
"The Regiment" was feature that
gre atty pleased the audience. The
English hollow square as well
as the star and other move
ments, were executed 10 great
perfection and was greatly COM
mended by several army officers and
tacticians 10 the audience.
The scene Of the three women coax
ing Cola was very lsughsble and natu-
raj and contained some moe little
music.
The mayor was taken off In appesr-
ance In the carnival scene by fellow
with leghorn hat and purple toga, and
the fac simile was noted by many OF our
citizens.
Abbott's famous lullaby from Erminie
was called for again and again, and 1t is
to be hoped she will repeat 1t ere she
leaves the city.
Tonight Verdi's grand II Trovatore the
Troubadour) will be the bill. 1t is one OF
Abbott's best and the house should be
crowded. Tomorrow for the matinee
"Martha" will be sung. The music is by
FlOtow, and this will be a rare treat.
During the rendition OF the opera Miss
Abbott will interpolste several OF her
sweet songs, and as the weather will be
fine, the music lover should not fail to
attend,

NoNQUTTT, Mass, Aug. 27.-It is well
known that the manuscript of Gen.
Sheridan's personal memoirs is in the
hands Of New York publishers. From
the sale of the book, it has been eX-
pected that Mrs. Sheridan would re-
eeive a large addition to her small re-
sources. Her friends have learned with
considerable anxiety that publishers at
Springfield and elsewhere are prepar-
ing to issue unauthorized lives of this
great soldier. They fear that their i'm
positions may not only tend to the dis
credit Of Gen. Sheridan'S career, but
the financial injury of his widow. Col.
NJ. Y. Sheridan has written letter to
,ohn L. Johnson, of Springfield, Mass,
IN which he says:
there will be published an authentic
history OF Gen. Sherdan's life, and. if
SO, when. l have the pleasure to inform
YOU that the Personal Memoirs of P.
. II. Sheridan written by himself, will
be published at New York by Dec. 1,
1888. This will be the only authentic
life of Gen. Sheridan, and as he spent
the best part of the four years preced-
ing his death upon it, believe it Will
be found most Interesting and cred
liable performance. Attempts are being
made to impose on the public with pre-
tended authentic lives of Gen. Sheridan.
These books are all frauds, as there is
no manuscript III existence except that
from which an authentic life could be
printed, and no complete material eX-
cept that which is in the hands of the
generals executors
