Melbourne Mcdowell and a company in

Roberts. Oscar Engle. Frank Willard,
Alfred Perry Byers aud j. E. Callahan.
"Kajanka" is nearing the end of its
run at Niblo's. The last two weeks of
the engagement will be begun on Mon.
day night. A great deal of "Kajanka's''
success is due to the clever clown, George
Melville. He Is the inventor Of ali the
tricks and transformations used in the
pantomime.
Richard Mansfeld's magnificent pro-
duction of Richard III. )" at Palmer's
Theatre. has been doing a very large bust
ness during the past week. It is probably
the best Shakespearian revival that New
York has seen in many a long day. 1t
will be continued for some time to come.
Miss Marie Wainwright will begin the
third week Of her engagement at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre on Monday night,
Twelfth Night" remaining as tho at
traction. Miss Wainwright's Viola is a
charmingly picturesque piece of work.
She has won a great deal of praise.
"Erminie" is still running at the
Casino. but the last performance will be
given next Saturday night. The follow
ing Monday there will be a revival of
The Brigands," which ought to be able
to occupy the stage of the Casino for
some time to come.
Souvenirs will be given at the New
Park Theatre tonight, when Barry and
Fay will end their long and successful
engagement al that house. The first

The County FAIR" is as popular as
ever at the Union Square Theatre. Neil

is as funny as ever. The race scene,
which brings the play to a close, is very
realistically shown.
