ADJUSTMENTS.
Aendnmv Of MnsIc.

The Academy OF Music WAS packed to
the doors last evening, TO see @. w
Williams's Partisan Folly and Sp ctacu-
lar Company The play was one Of the
best speciality and burlesqne companies
that has been in Wilmington for some
time. The minstrel scene which beg ina
the performances is vision Of Oriental
beauty. J. L, Simonds, as the Pashp,
and his four fsvorites, were the principal
characters in the scene, and they were
very well received. After this, several
specialties were introduced, which in
cluded c. w. Williams, the
ventriloquist, the Irish come
dian j. L. Simonds, the knock
about comedians Charles Smith ana John
Campbell These furnished the comedy
and were very well received. A number
OF pretty ladies presented the Parsian
Folly Dance lie Miunet A pretty drill
scene is introduced and the performance
concludes with charming burlesqut
called THE Bachelors Isles The bal
loon scene here introduced Is a great
scenic feature of the play. 1t will be re.
peated this evening and 70 morrow after

Opera House -"snnset Rock +,

A fair-sized audience greeted Harry
Meredith in Sunset Rock" at the Opera
House last evening. IL is a very good
company, but with the exception Of Mr..
Meredith, not remarkable for strength
Mr.. Meredith, however, was a general
favorite and was called before the curtain
as a token OF appreciation. Miss Nellie
Donald Lefingwell. Bessie Tree, the
friend of Mona Gray filed her part
creditably and was undoubtedly the best
in the company with the exception Of
Mr. Meredith. Connor O'Connor and
Judy Birmingham supply all the fun,
but Judy is by far to demonstrRtive These
parts are filed by William Burke and
Hattie Haynes. The chief merit of the
play is the exciting scenes which occur
so often. The saving OF Gerald Ward by
Reginald Harald, the breaking Of the dam
and rescue of Mona Gray. the scene after
the flying express and others are very ex-
citing and never fail to draw down the
house. The chief demerits of the play
are the long and tedious stories told BY
the actors and the long interchanges Of
opinion which take place between Conner
aud Judy. 1t is, without doubt, very
exciting melodrama and the scenery is
very beautiful Lovers of thrilling and
exciting escapades on the stage would do
well to see this play. It will be produced
tonight, to morrow night and at to NOR
rows matinee.
Henry P. Mason's thrilling military
comedy drama, "a Fair Rebel which is
drawing crowded houses to the Walnut
Street Theatre, Philapelphia, will be al

The Daily Republican last night said
"'W l.. Gotteworth and Miss Annie Me-
Whorter, daughter of Hon. Charles Nc
Whorter, will be married on
the 10th instant" The Young
lady's parents are very much incensed
over the item and deny that any engage
ment exists between the young
people. Mr. McWhorter engaged
Messrs. Bradford and Vandegrift
this morning as his attorneys. AS
soon as the manager of the Repub-
liean heard Of this. .he proceeded to the
Court House and maze profuse apology.
He stated that the item was
sent to the paper over the telephone aud
they published it on the presumption
that it was true There is not
much likelihood that the case will
be pushed against the Republican as
they disclaim any malicious intent. 1t
has been suggested that Solomsn
Hersey should drop his post office sine
cure and devote his time exclusively to
the Daily Republican telephone service.
