AMUSEM ENTS.

The second presentation of j. b. Polk's
"Silent Partner" at the Boyd last night,
seemed to confirm the favorable impression
produced by it the first night. IT is of the
same order as the celebrated "Strategists"
which met with such great success number
of years ago and in which Mr.. Polk was first
introduced to play .goers in this part of the
country. The successful presentation OF the
piece does not depend upon the star.
il requires the assistance Of every member
of the cast. Each performer has u chance to
distinguish himself or herself, and II may be
said that each of them improves tho oppor-
tunity in very commendable manner. The
company, as whole, is a good one, while, in
some respects its individual strength is very
great Several OF the performers are as yet
not perfect in their parts, but this oefect
may be easily remedled.
