Wards Company will play "The Red
Fox" for matinee entertainment, the adj
mission being % cents children, Is cents.
Last night the company played Whites
version of "She." The principal parts
were well-sustained, but there is
lack of supernumerary support. Carrie
Clarke Wards personation of Ayesha
was surprise. 1t was graceful and
well-sustained melo-dramatic effort BY
a lady who was supposed to be devoted
only to comedy parts. She" needs the
accessories of rich stage setting and spec
iacular effects, and while some new scenery
was introduced last night, as whole the
scenic effects were inadequate. Mrs. Doug
lass mistakes in making Dillyasha such a
5urlesque upon humanity. She" will be
repeated tonight. Tomorrow night the
drama, Ten Nights in a Bar-room"
The Amateur Opera Company had a
good house last night, and the Mikado"
was given smoothly and well. Miss Hatch
was especially favored with commenda-
ton, and deserved it, and Miss Fitch's in
terpolated song from Nanon" was
warmly encored.
Sells Brothers hippodrome and three
ring circus is announced to appear here
May 31st. afternoon and evening. 1t is set
forth that there will be the hippodrome

elevated stages ana two menageries A

advertisement, together with several spec

management announces a display of jap

and athletes, three hundred performers
and fifty hippodrome riders" with

| There is to be a street parade
in the forenoon of the day of the exhibi-
| ton. The announcement claims for the
entire affair pre-eminence among tent
shows in variety and interest. The troupe
| had long and successful season in San
Francisco, and the Call of April 9th said
of its opening night: AR audience of

entertained. Everything is new-tent,
costumes, trappings and other parapher.
nalia-and no expense has seemingly been
spared to make every department of this
great show as complete as possible" Later
the same paper said: "Sells Brothers and
S. II. Barrett are keeping faith right roy
ally with the public in regard 10
the entertainment they promised to fur
nish." The San Francisco Chronicle thus
spoke of the combination: There is evil

are the best, but most agreeable finale -
| the short, sharp and decisive series of races
which are vastly interesting and arouse a
great deal of excitement. 1t is a remarka-

money" Others of the press were I'M
equlvocal in approval. From all which il
is fair to conclude that the promise of the
