ssThe Flashing of Venice,

About eighteen months since Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew, Mrs. O. Vanderbilt, Mrs. John Jay, Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton and other society ladies of New York city desired to raise fund for the benefit of the Hahnemann hospital of that city. Among many other attractions offered they decided upon giving Flashing Thurs day in Venice" which Mr. Carl Marwig had just originated and perfected. The selection was fortunate one, the enter tainment was given under Mir. Marwigs direction at the Metropolitan Opera house and great success, the committee raising over ten thousand dollars
 Flashing Thursday is masquerade fes- tival, originally celebrated in Venice on the Thursday following Easter, when peo- pie of all classes joined in the merry making and a gondolier might offer a rose to princess, claiming her hand in a dance if she accepted the offering.
 .-y The dances introduced during this unique and charming entertainment are the minuet, the Grecian cymbal dance, the dance of the Venetian gondoliers. the Normandy dance, the Swedish dance, and the dance of the flowers and bells The beauty of some of these dances we have all ready spoken of. The Grecian cymbal dance is entirely new and is one of MT. Marwig's best conceptions. It is executed by thirty-two young ladies, and the cos tunes are especially brilliant. Some of the ladies are robed in yellow satin and white gauge, elaborately trimmed with gold and silver, others wearing red satin in place of the yellow. The solo part in this dance will be taken by Miss Mamie Crane, and those who saw this young lady's graceful dancing in the gipsy dance year ago we'll know that this part will be a pleasant feature of the entertainment.
 The Venetian Gendoliers dance is made merry with the mandolins of the gay gon- doliers and the castanets of their fair part ners.
 The rehearsals for the dances connected with the Flashing of Venice" will be con- tinued to-day at Academy hall, on Chanel street, over Gilbert & Thompson's. Mr. Marwig will be present morning, after noon and evening.
 The sale of reserved seats will begin on Monday morning, May 4, at 9 o'clock, at the box office of the Hyperion.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The latest New York comedy success, "His Nibs, the Baron," musical farce comedy from the pen of Edward Hoist, was presented last evening to large and enthu- siastic audience. The comedy is more than usually funny, and is in fact solid laugh from beginning to end, and teens with the quaintest, drollest and most original conceits. The company is more than usu- ally competent and has been specially se- lected with the end in view of securing only the best people for their respective parts. The work of Ed. Chapman and Miss Nellie Sanford was unusually merito- rious, while the efforts of Miss Mollie Kel- lenbach, the youthful club swinger, were greeted with rounds of applause The same bill will be presented the balance of the week.
