Afr,id of Mcdonald.

The "lambs" have gone off on another
tack and are now threatening to vote for
ODonnell for Mayor in order to spite tue
Reform Democrats for nominating Melon
aid. AT first it was thought possible that
the "boss" might conclude to indorse the
latter when his convention assembled. but
the tone OF his followers is such that it is
out of the question for him to do so, and the
consequence is that they have abandoned
hope of electiDg Mayor. Their only hope
seems to lie in trying to elect O'Donnell.
How far this movement will extend it is hard
to say. but that it is being quietly considered
there can be no doubt.

Slipper" Seats are at premium, aud
those who wish to enjoy this spectacle, ex-
ceptional in its beauty, must be prompt in
their application at the box-ofice. 1t might
be to some purpose, perhaps, if one wished
to exhaust space, to speak in detail of this
glitterng show; but it would be bet
ter for those who wish to know
what the modern stage is capable of-such a
stage, for example, as the Grand Opera
House, the best in the United States when
wealth aud intelligence combine in pro-
duction-to see the results for themselves.
Last evening, the third from the opening,
there was standing room only, and we have
no doubt this will be the condition of the
auditorium till the close Of the engagement.
