ADJUSTMENTS.

Hoyts original and first farce. comedy,
"a Bunch of Keys" was played to good
house at the Metropolitan last night by
very clever company of people. The pub
lie is fully aware of the extravaganza of
Hoyt's satires. They are like nothing else
upon the stage, and their success consti-
tutes one of the puzzles of the day. But
they serve to create laughter and enable
an audience to be mirthful without limit.
In the troupe there is an excellent quartet.
Miss Williams is a handsome and charm
ing soubrette, an artistic singer and dancer
of superiority-there are few any better.
Miss Raymonde is thrown into strong con-
trast with the capable people who have APP
peared in the role. She is clever, however,
in dance and with the dapjo. Will Daniels
is quite as good Snaggs as any of those
who have preceded him, and Mr.. Spooner
as the Colonel is equal to any of
those who have played it before him.
Mr.. Gourley as Grimes, if not fully the
equal of his predecessors, is good, and
would, had not they been seen here, be
pronounced thorough in his remarkably
active and absurdly extravagant caricature
of bell boy. Misses Reno and Delano
both are pleasing singers and Mr.. Tetley
has sweet and exnEessiye tenor xoice- !
The company presents the extravaganza

ance this evening, and being snow bound"
and unable to get over the mountains in
time TO fill all its engagements, proposes to
leave tomorrow for Placerville for one

This evening a concert will be given at
the NJ. E. Church South on Seventh street,
under the management of Mrs. Addie Car

been arranged.
Tomorrow evening the Sacramento
Rifle Club will give It's first annual ball at

On Thursday, March 9th, Sumner Relief
Corps will give literary entertainment

Attorneys Hart and Hon Miss a Chance
for an Argument.
The case Of Bagwell VS.. All Sing, which
has occupied the attention of the Superior
Court OF this county for some time, was
brought TO sudden close yesterday after
noon. The case was rather an important
one and involves considerable money, al
legged to be due for the rental of land and
agricultural Implements. Judge Buckles,
of Solano county, has presided over the
case.
General i. L. Hart and G. G. Pickett ap-
peared for Bsgwell, while Judge S. S. Holl
and Jud. c. Brusie appeared for the China
man.
Both sides have been very particular
/ about the testimony, and as the legal tussle
was expected TO be close and exciting, both
sides relied much upon the argument
ghich was TO close the case. In conse-
9auence the Court stenographer's notes were
constantly in demand, and counsel for each
side loaded themselves to the muzzle, tgur-
atively speaking, with ammunition for the
final clash.
The last of the testimony was put in yes
terday afternoon, and Mr.. Hart, with q
bland smile. arose and announced that be
was willing TO submit the case without
argument
fudge Holl. evidently fully convinced
that Mr.. Hart was only bluffing, replied, IN
order TO help out on the joke, that he was
willing, too.
Both attorneys stared at each other, but
neither felt like giving in.

TAKING SOME CHANCES.
Rivett, Not Satisfied With the Result of
His Case. Talks of Appeal.

Rivett, Not Satisfied With the Result of
His Case, Talks of Appeal.
x-Quartermaster Rivett of the First
Artillery Regiment, who was on Wednes-
day convicted of misdemeanor in refusing
to give up to the proper officers military
property belonging to the State, appeared
before Judge Henry yesterday for sentence.
The Judge stated, in passing sentence,
that in his opinion, the prosecution did
not desire to put the defendant to any
great cost or trouble. The military officers
simply wished to have the fact established
that no person with whom military prop
erty may be stored can set up claim
against it and refuse to deliver it until such
claim is settled.
Rivett has taken steps to appeal the case,
and it will be carried to the Superior
Court ON statements furnished by counsel,
unless in the meantime he should conclude
that be had better drop the matter.
If the property is not given up. Rivett
can be again arrested and tried for the
same offense. The prosecution may adopt
this plan, instead of trying to get posses
sion of the property, as The regiment is in
no hurry for it. A second verdict of
guilty would no doubt bring out much
heavier fine, as the Court would no longer
consider it csse of leniency. Appeals are
sometimes frought with danger to the ap-
pelant

ERRATIc MIR. WELcKER.
The whilom Sacramentan Prepares
characteristic Complaint,

The Whilom Sacramentan Prepares a
Characteristic Complaint.
Some time since Adair Welcker, the
young lawyer-who, while in Sacramento
styled himself +" the modern Shakespeare, +"
and ground outva quantities of poetry
sued the San Francisco Examiner for 500, 900
damages for, as he claimed, having hbeled
him. The demurrer came up for hearing
in Judge Hunts Court on Wednesday, and
in written opinion the Judge stated that
the complaint could not be commended as
a model of good pleading. Instead of sue
cinctly setting forth the grounds of his
grievance, the pleader had INDUCED in
satirical reflections upon the defendant
and his employees, a disquisition upon the
duties of Judges in divorce cases, and made
astatement of the manner in which plaintiff
learns his bread"
These allegations, Judge Hunt remarked,
had no relation to the subject-matter OF
the action, aud would have been stricken
out on motion, if such motion had been
made. But, while inartisticslly drawn,
the Court thought the complaint might be
considered as stating CAUSE of action, al
though the absence therefrom OF proper
innuendoes-that is to say, allegations ex-
planatory of the meaning and connection
of certain portions of the publication in
question-might somewhat embarrass the
plaintiff upon the trial.
