There were nearly 300 persons on skates,

1t was announced that Miss Camille Mu-

Packard that of Manrico, last evening in the
distribution of III Trovatore" by the Z. ID.
Hess Grand Opera Company at the
Orpheum. At the last moment, owing to
the illness of Mr.. Packard. the cast of the
preceding evenings was retained; on ac-
count of this uncertainty, the attendance
was lighter than it otherwise would have
been. 1t is in contemplation, we under
stand, to confine the regular opera nights
to five in the week, and on the sixth and
seventh Saturday and Sunday, give grand
operate and orchestral recitals; but, so far.
no conclusion in the matter has been
arrived at. Meantime, the general merits
OF the company. are being actively can
yassed by the public, and the verdict is in
the highest degree favorable.

for his proposed new race-cOuise. Several
lots Of land near the old Ocean House track
have been offered TO him, and he has ascer-

22G0 acres are on the market, but most of
tie land is not for sale, but only for lease.
If possible he desires to buy the land
needed and not lease it.
A POSSIBLE PURCHASE.
One lot of 40 acres is held at $1,000 an
acre. and would in many respects be most
suitable. This particular proposition is
now under consideration by him. He has
also been offered 20 acres on the San Mateo
