BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

MT. Gericke will appear for the last time but one in this city, with the Boston Sym phony orchestra this (Monday) evening at the justly great favorite here, will be the solo, ist and her contributions to the programme, will be new pianoforte concerto by Max Vogrich. The visits of this orchestra, have become genuine musical events in each city that is favored with their concerts and they are now having crowded houses even in New York, where for the last four seasons orches- tral concerts @ rule have received scant support. To-night's programme opens with the Academic overture based on several pop ular German student songs and composed by Brahms to celebrate his reception of the hon. orary degree Doctor of Philosophy at Bremen in 1881. Other important features of the concert will be the Unfinished symphony of Schubert's, considered by many the loveliest fragment in music, and Wagner's wonderful overture to "Die Meistersinger." The dainty schu1z "Queen Mab' from the symphony "Romeo and Juliet" by Berlioz will add brightness to the performance. The soloist will be Mir. Franz Kneisel, whose ability as a violin virtuoso is we'll known. Tickets for the concert are now ready at Steinert's music store.
 RENTK sANTLEY.
 The Rentz-Santley company will appear at the New Haven Opera House this evening. The New York Journal says in speaking of this array of star artists: The Rentz- -Santley burlesque and novelty company has the rep- utation of being the best organization of the kind on the road at the present time, and 1t deserves it, for it has larger aggregation of talent than perhaps any other vaudeville att traction. Neither work nor money have been spared to make it all that it claims to be, the best Ida Siddons, May Adams and others rank the performance among the best.
 HYPERION HEATER.
 Booth and Barrett will be at the Hyperion on Wednesday evening next, the play to be given will be "Othello' with MT. Booth as Iago and Mir. Barrett as Othello. The New York Evening Sun says: MT. Booth, coming before us again as Iago, renewed with fine precision his previous triumphs in the role. Mr. Barrett, whom we do not often see garbed and Drowned as the Moor, added in splendid measure to his latter-day achieve ments producer of plays. Mir. Barrett's Othello WAS figure to enchain interest, if not to command individual applause. It was in most respect an original, vivid. rag. ged impersonation. Minna Gale as Resde- mona is charming young actress, of un- doubted talent which has been very plainly developed, according to Mir. Bsrrett's careful theories. In face, figure and somewhat in art, she reminds one of Miss Eastlake, who accompanied MT. Edwin Barrett to this coun- try" The sale of seats commences this morning at 9 o'clock.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The attraction for this week will be May Towards Big Burlesque company. Matinees will be given Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The Philadelphia Press says: 'May Towards Burlesque company opened at the Central last night to a large house. Miss Howard has risen to be the head of one company from the ranks of another. She Is, perhaps, the brightest, youngest and most capable of the serio-comic singers on the variety stage. There is an air of restrained abandon in her act which suggest great pos abilities of reckless but legitimate comedy. A dance by young women in Nadjy dresses and costumes of all countries was very pret- ty. Fred Solomons burlesque keeps the majority of the audience in their seats until the curtain falls" In the museum hall Barr hello "The Fire Fiend," and the Bohemian glass blowers will be seen.
 MRS. POTTER.
 This brilliant actress will appear at the New Haven Opera House next Thursday eve- ming in the captivating comedy by Goldsmith "She Stoops to Conquer" The presentation of this piece will be in the charming manner for which Mrs. Potter has won an enviable fame, and her appearance here will herald one of the notable society events of the sea- son. Kyrle Bellew, who is great metropol- itan favorite, will accompany Mrs. Potter. They will be supported by strong dramatic company under the direction of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau.

Rieger, the tenor soloist of the Musurgia society of New York, who is to sing in the concert at Calvary Baptist church on Thursday evening, was enthusiastically re- ceived in Bridgeport on the Sth instant when he sang with the Bridgeport Choral society. The Farmer says: "Mr. Rieger has tenor voice that captivates his listeners.
