ADJUSTMENTS.

the much-talked-o athletic and gympastic
exhibition by the Sacramento Athletic
Club occurs, and very large attendance is
looked for This will be the first genuine
athletic club entertainment given in Sacra-
mento in many years, and as it is to be
genteel and correct exhibition. it should
be encouraged. The club does not count
enance the 'slogging" business, but aims
to elevate athletics and cultivate manly
physical development and sound health. |
Some question has arisen as to the propri-
ETY. of ladies attending the exhibition,
which has caused the club membership
some little anxiety. They desire it an
nounce3 that the entertainment will be a
refined and gentlemanly one, accompanied
by nothing liable to offend the most fas-
tidious of spectators-the kind of perform
ances that are given by the Olympic Club
of San Francisco which, as every one
knows, are attended by the best audiences
OF the metropolis. Professor Corbett, the
celebrated boxer, will positively appear, all
other reports TO the contrary notwithstand-
ing. A telegram was received from him
last night announcing that he would leave
San Francisco on the $50 train. The pro-
gramme is varied, and introduces nearly
all the exercises usual in the best-con-
Quoted gymnasiums.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights next, at
the Metropolitan Theater, the Duff Comic
Opera Company will appear. J. c. Duff
has for many years been successful oper-
attic manager. Tuesday night he will pre-
sent "Paola," satirical operetta on
Corsica, by Paulton and Jakobowski. the
joint authors of the popular opera "Er-
mimic" "Paola" ran at the Fifth Avenue
Theater, New York, for hundred sue
cessive nights this year, and 1t is claimed
for it that it is the brightest of recent
operas. The New York Worlds critic, after
prouOuncing it success and the company
superior, said of it: unlike the argu-
ments of the majority of comic operas, the
audience can follow it and see it work out
to an intelligent conclusion. The dialogue
at times is witty and the situations good
There is no straining after effect. The
music is pleasing throughout. There is lit
tie of it, however, of that catchy order that
one carries away" Wednesday night Won
Suppe's comic opera "a Trip to Africa"
The promise is made of full chorus and
ballet. The chief singers announced are

York Casino; Frank Pearson, the leading

sixty people. The sale of seats begins ON
Monday, and prices are 81 so, 81 and 30
cents.
Referring to the recent entertainment at
the Sixth-street NJ. E. Church, given by the
Mission NJ E. Sunday school for the bene-
fit of the chapel fund, lady correspond.
ten writes: Mrs Leland Howe is. GER
tainly deserving of great credit for her IN
firing efforts in training the little ones so
well one indeed can hardly realize that
lady could train such small children to sing
so sweetly and larger ones to attain so
much excellence in so short time. Too
high an eulogium cannot be pronounced
upon their performance, the good judg-
| ment and taste in the selection of pieces,
| the sweetness of tone, the exact time and
correct expression, together with the ease
the little ones manifested, cannot be too
highly commended. The "Triumphal

banner, bearing the words, Our Little
