LOST IN NEW YORK.

| General VIM. B. Barton, late manager
Bijou theater, New York City, will pre-
sent at Crawford's opera house the great
sensational realistic comedy drama Lost
| in New York" that made such a success in
New York City last season. The drama is
from the pen of the well known and sue
| cessful dramatist. Leonard Grover, and
the story deals with life among the high
and lowly of New York and presents a
vivid picture of the trials and opportuni-
ties New York City alone affords. It is a
story replete with tender pathos, splendid
comedy and abounds in thrilling situa-
tions and surprising climaxes. The real
istic effects are very novel and in the third
act the very acme of realism is reached
when the entire stage is transformed into
real water with real steamboat with a
full head of steam on, going at full speed,
turning, receiving and discharging passen-
gers with all the freedom of boundless
space. Ferries, yachts. row boats and 9TH
er marine craft will navigate this mimic
river To reproduce this effect NAM
moth tank holding over 10000 gallons of
water Is used. This tank is 60 feet long,
40 feet wide and feet deep.

sIGNOR CAMPANARI.
The American Art Journal, of New
York, says: ''Sig. Campanari's violin
performance is worthy of the warmest
enconimus. We have no solo violinist in
this city that is so capable or who can do
such remarkable work il such an unob-
struslye, modest manner, without the
nervous twiching and ungainly motion
which is unfortunately considered part
and parcel of genius. Signor Campanari
is a great artist, whose work speaks for it
self"
One Of the principal attractions of the
evening WAS Mr.. Campanari's violin solo,
Witches Dance" by BaZzini, which was
a most finished and artistic performance
This composition was one of Ole Bulls
fayorites, and has not received SO fine
rendering before Boston audience since
the great yirtuoso laid aside the bow
Boston Post.
