Entertain menGs.

MT. Edgar w. Nye and Mir. James Whit comb Riley amused 6 fair-sized audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. It was nearly half-past eight o'clock when Mir. Riley made his appearance and told the audience delayed matters. After MT. Riley had given two of his Hoosier poems Mir. Nye made his appearance. He begged the indulgence of tha audience and said that he was always losing trains. The more he talked about himself and his misfortunes the more the au- dience laughed. The performance thus begun, both the poet and the philosopher kept the audience in a roar until 10 o'clock The gems of the evening were MT. Riley's "Good bye, Jim, take care of yourself" and his account of the "Object lesson, |" and Mir Nye's selection from @ proposed "second reader" for the use of schools and academies. Both gentlemen are just as funny as they can be and seem to enjoy the fun they create as much as their auditors. May the springs of their wit and humor never run dry, and may the supply they are now distributing over the country bring them large return in coin.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 A crowded house greeted the appearance of Frank I. Franc and his company in "Mardo Hangar" at the Grand last night. The thrill ling climaxes and startling tableaux of the play were enthusiastically received. The spectacle of the lions and hyenas was very remarkable. A change of bill will be made on Thursday.
 BARRY AND FAY.
 These two inimitabie comedians will appear at the Hyperion this evening. Of them in 'tMcKenna's Filtration" the Cincinnati En- quirer says: The play is funny enough to justify all of this laughter and merriment. This is one of the new comedies now on the stage that has nothing in its makeup that is in any other piece. Everything is new, the lines are new, the business is new, the jokes are new, the singing and dancing are new, and Barry and Fay, well-were there ever any other two men half so funny? They never laugh, never even smile.
 FOOD ADULTERATIoN.
 The lecture on ''food adulteration," which is to be given in the New Haven Opera House on Thursday afternoon, ought to call out an audience of great size. No subject is more worthy and none more practical. The character of the house under whose auspices the lecture is given is guarantee of it's being of high standard and worthy the attention of our most intellectual citizens.

Palmer's best companies at the New Haven Opera House on Friday and Saturday. Special scenery will also enhance the fine production. The cast is admirable, and in- cludes many metropolitan favorites.
