"Ajeeb,'' an automatic chess and checker
player, which will play and beat the most
skillful players in Omaha. This marvellous

reasoning powers on the part of an in
animate object has aroused the won
der of all who have seen it..

trystt h, hn cnrfn an ~ hn nf Irad
denis capital farce comedy, "Humbug."
Mr. Reed has been playing to large and en-
thusastic houses. "The Woman Halter" is
an excellent comedy and deals with
supposed woman hater, who in reality adores
the sex but has through bashfulness re-
Trained from proposing to any one Of them.
At last he shakes off this timidisy, and in his
reckless haste finds himself at the close OF the
first act engaged to no less than three
women. Mr.. Reed has number of new
songs and medley duets.
Fanny Davenport will be at the Grand
opera house Wednesday evening next in La
Tosca' The present season bis not likely to
produce more interesting event, theatr-
cally speaking, than the appearance of Miss
Davenport as the heroine OF NJ Sardou's
great play. No creation OF recent years has
come to be better known to the public by re.
port and discussion, and none has been more
literally patronized by the theater-gOing
public. 1t survived the most hostile storm
of criticism ever hurled against play on its
first production in New York City,
and was seen by over 100,
weeks run there. 1t will be produced here
on Wednesday evoning with all the scenic
and auxiliary environment that marked the
London, New York and Partisan production.
Tomorrow night Slaven & Johnson's min
strels will hold forthdn great style at the
the Grand opera house. LAS the amusement
loving portion of Omaha already knows this
is one of the best Organizations travelling,
and the ENTERTAINMENT given 10 as neat, clean
and artistic as the R0st, fastidiOus would
wish to see. The perfoEmers wear white
wigs, sing beautiful songs, crack funny jokes
and present the very fpest specially busi-
ness. NJ rG,it
