An entirely new organization, details as to
the formation of which have already appeared
In THE EVENING WORLD. will begin its strug-
gle with the tickle public next Monday, in
Baltimore. leaving this city on Friday. The
organization is known rs the Comley Opera
Company. The first work produced will be
"A Royal Tramp" music by Puerner,
| libretto by Gill. 1t was at first said that "A
Royal Tramp" was neither more nor
less than THE Pyramid" Puer-
ner's comic opera produced Mt the Star,
but this is strenuously denied. Will
lam J. Comley Is his own hacker, aud
he says that when he opens in Baltimore he
will be ont of debt. For the past four weeks
! the costumes have been in ardent prepara-
ton. Mr.. Comley took n room in Twentieth
street. near Fourth avenue, bought his silks
and satins. engaged a foreman, n cutter and
| twelve seamstresses. He now has al extern

die twice. She plays a dual role. AS there
are two performances each day, fonr death

the tragic Sarah has never had to expire
twenty-four times per week.
Nat Goodwin has bought q new play by
Messrs. Richardson and Yardley. II is said
10 be extremely funny. and Mr.. Goodwin is
very pleased. The play has not yet been

had pirated the razzle-dazzle song from - A
Brass Monkey " was published originally il
