"A NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS"

There is temptation to say that " Night at the
Circus which performed for the first time in this
city ut the New Park Theatre last evening, is the
greatest nonsense seen here this season. But the
nonsense Of farcecomedies has no degrees: 1t Is all
alike and so 1t must be said only that 4 Night at the
Crcusn is like the rest Of them. No one knows what
II is all about and no one is supposed to know. There
is a scene IN the dressing room OF a circus and the
most Of the performance seems 10 be going on there
Instead OF in the ring though there are occasional
rumors Of calls the part of the 10000 spectators In
tho tent for one or another Of the advertised attac
TONS The merit Of IN entertainment Ike this depends
on the individual eleverness OF the performers. There
are some good dancers in this company, especially OF
the grotesque order, and many amusinsy ridiculous
capers are cut Miss Nellie McfIenry makes her reap
peargnce In this piece. She is busting and lively
woman attractive in person and with good stage
experience Her part OF the entertainment II pleasing
and the whole furnishes an evenings amusement, with
the slightest and slenderest suggestion Of reason

sPARTACUs AT THE UNION SQUARE.

II R. d. Mclean and Miss Marie Prescott expected
to meet with success in "spartacus' at the Union
Square Theatre last evening-n reality they probably
did mob expect it-they were disappointed. a year
ago they and their supporters produced the same
play Mt Bowery theatre, and possibly the kindest
advice that could be given them would be 10 return
where they are supposed to have won trumphs.
The play and story of spartacus" too familiar
TO need repetition comment here. It is play
which gives opportunities TO able TO interpret IT,
Mr.. MacLean, who appeared in the title part last
evening, Is not that II was, In fact, cruel
comment upon the ragedian's acting to read on
the programme, underneath the name of the
play, the words, Made famous by Forrest
and Mccullough Mr. MacLean's methods are
hard. His rage Is too tremendous. He rants and
saws the air with too great vehemence to express his
emotions. As the barbatan," even he IS too fierce.
He does not excite the ryn9athy OF his hearers.
There were moments in the play when he rose above
the general level of his performance but they were
few As far physical attributes go, 1t must be said
that he made good Spartacus. Mr.. MacLean Is a
handsome man, and his appearance at various times
excited admiration.
There is nothing strong or magnetic about Miss
Prescott or her acting, and she failed TO excite any
enthusiasm among the spectators. W. S. Hart, who
took the part Of Phasarus rightly shared the applause
which sparingy extended To the chief members
of the company The scenery Is not effective.

MUSIC-THE ORA MA.
MISS VAN ZANDT'c DEBUT.

The first appearance Of Miss Marie Van Zandt In La
sonnambua" mt the Metropolitan Opera House en-
phasized Orciby than any incident of last weeks
performances the fact that the day of small things in
opera has returned TO the metropolis. The remark
might be gwen an amiable Interpretation far as
Miss Van Zandt IS concerned, who is diminutive but
winsome In voice well figure, and recalled the
old observation about fine goods being done Up In
small parcels. But In all other respects, from the
opera down TO the audience the adjective must be left
to carry a critical sting. Saving and excepting the
singing OF Miss Van Zandt the performance
Of Beni's sweetly gentle and innocuous opera, was
wofully and hOpelessly bad. Edouard de Reszke who
had been announced to appear the Count. was ILL.,
and his place in the cast occupied by gentleman
named Serbolini. who was unqualified aficton
The Elvino was SignOr Ganin. younger brother OF
the tenor who years ago burst upon Workers
with considerable reverberation as member Of
the lillian Opera Troupe. he had voice.
but little art: the brother has less OF both,
and for the kind Of music which the COM
poser put into the mouth of the weak-minded but
sentimental Evino absolutely aptitude either
of gift requirement
Since there only three characters 10 talk about IN
ala sonnambulan and two of them last night fell
beneath the level of criticism, only Miss Van Zandt
is left for discussion. Everything about the little
lady invites TO kindness Of utterance. Those who
have followed the history Of opera for twenty in
America remember her mother with admiration. Long
before the days when every effort to produce opera In
the vernacular heralded great patriotic enter
prise Madame Jenny Van Zandt headed companies
which performed such lists only be compared
in dignity and earnestness OF effort with those OF the
German organization that was housed at the Metro
potan Opera House during the last years. The
operas we'll done. moreover, and could fashion
have been enlisted in the support of those old COM
panics there IS scarcely doubt that the lyric drama
is style acceptable 10 the taste and judgment OF the
music-lovers OF today would long ago have been per
manent institution In New York. Miss Van Zandt has
not inherited the voice artistic style Of her mother
but her gifts are nevertheless unmistakable. Her
voice is exceedingly light. but pure and fairly elastic
Its quality will forever restrict her range Of characters
for though Miss Van Zandt has been before the public
for decade her tones peculiarly Dfantine In
timbre. Depth of feeling is outside her horizon, and
though she sings tastefuIy, phrases nicely and occa-
sionay executes a scale well, she cannot be said to
be brilliant us a vocalist In the matter of expression,
though "La Sonnambula- affords opportunities for fine
effects of the od-fashoned kind, II also adaps Itself
easily to circumstances and singer with small
artistic equipment, she be sympathetic, can also
charm IN II. Tonight there will be extra perform

BICYCLE CAyALM,
IN The Boston ADVERTISE

From The Boston Advertiser.
The adoption of the bicycle in the National GUARDS
OF the different States and Territories appears 70 De
a settled outcome Of the near future. The state OF
Connecticut was the pioneer In this movement and il Is
aid that the Sbcycie corps OF the LIST Regiment OF
that state Is already well drilled and IN good state
OF proficiency. The latest effort toward the adoptOn
OF the bicycle in volunteer methods and tactics mas
been made at the National Capital where movement
is now under way to form q cavalry bicycle corps III
many ways this departure seems coInmendaple'
especially in view of the fact that the British army mas
already made a successful trial OF the new arm OF the
work. The bicycle is at its best In Washington where
the miles OF smooth pavements have served to bring
II into quite general use and IL would seem that III
the instrument Is u receive real test 1t could better
BE- tried in connection with the volunteer force OF tc
District OF Columbia under the eye Of the secretary OF
War. thar In any other place. $500
II the experiment Of the district militia proves
the adoption Of the bicycle Tor regular army
use will probably follow. The machines which seem
to be best adapted for in this country are etes
the light rife and ammunition well as the few tools
necessary for use the machine. The rifles are
carried in firm rests which extend almost on the
centre OF the machine to the right Of the rider The
fastened in front with the knapsack, while from the
light pigskn saddle hangs small pocket for storing
Ammunition and tools. The bicycles con
struced as to unite durability with comparative light
ness and economy of space. In many respects the

Seaman, the well-known comedian played the leading
part The play is called Ely and will run this week
at Nlblos. The house was fairly well fll.d. and
Miss Seaman won much applause, especially by her
Irish songs. Her singing of that well known Irish
sonc "The Low Back Carr was especial favorite
with the audience. The play has wicked gentle
man and virtuous peasant in IL, and the virtuous
peasant gets the better Of 1t in the fourth act
There will be an extra matinee on Christmas Day.
The cast of the piece was as follows
