ADJUSTMENTS.

Acknowledgment jan" by the authors
Of "Erminie." was presented by the Carleton
Opera Company last night for the first time In
Washington. and for a first performance was
quite successful The scene is laid in Holland,
date 1850 and, while the plot or humor Is not
very largely developed, the music Is of that
tuneful, melodious kind which is strongly
attractive to any audience. Throughout the
opera refreshing airs are waited In solo and
chorus, and encores were as plenty as roses In
June. Miss Lanes hdtrnle and Mr. Carletons
Karl easily led the score and they were ap-
plauded to the echo. Mr.. Bigelow's Hans was
all that could be made of 1t and Miss Vincents
Camilla was pretty for Miss Vincent is a pretty
woman. Not less in praise may be said of the
others in the cast, and ''Mynheer Jan" will be
an attractive opera when il is hurried up some
what and crystalized. SO to speak. There was
a large audience in attendance. Again tonight.
NATIoSAL.-Ed Harrigan's "Squatter Sow
ereignty" was the bill at the National last
night and il wild, hilarious Hibernian
bill, which age does not whisker nor custom
chestnutiZe. In the first act Feltr McIhtTe's
pig escaped over the footlights and jumped
into the orchestra, creating a wild stampede
and losing the pig. The music of the play is
its strong point, barring several spectacular
Irish effects. when the entire stage is a general
melee, and the good old Irish tunes that are
now the soul and sentiment OF hand organs all
over the land are as conducive to applause as
they were when they were first sung. 1t is a
play to have boisterous fun with, but not to
criticize, and at that 1t goes. Again tonight.
HARRIS BIJOU.-Aldridge and Rich's elab-
crate production of The Wages Of SIM was
the attraction at this house last night, and
though il was a return engagement it never
theless pleased the large audience present
The play is a strong melodrama and the COM
pany that presented 1t an exceptionally good
one. Again tonight.
KERSAss.-The Lester & Williams combina-
tion presented at Kernan's this week is one of
the strongest on the road. This is a return en-
gagement, yet the program has undergone
many changes since Its last appeara nce here.
The performance opened with a merItorious
burlesque entitled Me and Jack" Then fol-
lowed the specialtIes. Lester and Williams are
always good; Harrigan balanced everything;
Gallagher and West put all in a good humor;
Lew Carroll was a good Dutchman; Jutan and
Brown, aerialists, gave an exciting act and Miss
Reta Cough displayed a good voice in some
beautiful ballads. Thursday night the man.
agement announces a meeting with soft gloves
between Chas Smith. the colored heavy weight
and Chas. Brown, champion Of the District
VENETIAN TRoUBADoCRs. - The Venetian
TroubadOurs began their second weeks en-
gagement at the Bull Run Panorama building
Last night and as usual gave a most pleasing
entertainment A plessanter two hours cannot
be spent than with a congenial party at these
concerts, looking over the historical landscape
and the battle and listening 10 the delightful
music which so much enhances the picture.

Let sun to moon, in circling orbs,
From now until next fall,
Proclaim each day that Washington
Has won two games Of ball;
And then we may to some extent
Our SORROWS less recall,
That Washington in other years
Lost every game Of ball
