KING SOLOMON on SUNDAYS.

The Great Spectacle VIII Be Given Every
Night in the Week.
The Board of Directors of the Pali-
sades Amusement and Exhibition
Company have decided to give the
spectacle of king Solomon and the
Destruction of jerusalem on Sunday
evenings. As the representation deals
with a religious subject, they deem
Sunday performances perfectly proper.
There is no doubt but the public will
greatly appreciate this innovation.
Hereafter new rule will go into
force. The admission price heretofore
has been fifty cents, which included
the afternoon concerts by Jules Levy
and his Eldcrado band and also to the
king Solomon performance at
night. As it was found that great
numbers of people who visited the
grounds during the afternoon could
not remain till evening, it is now ar
ranged that but twenty-five cents
shall be charged for the afternoon
concerts, and those who desire to wit
ness the spectacle will be taxed TWEEN
ty-tive cents extra. This arrangement
has been determined upon from def
erence to the wish of the public.
Fifty additional coryphees were
added to the ballet last night. making
now a grand total of six hundred and
twenty dancers, or two hundred more
than were seen in the spectacles on
Staten Island. Over one hundred
auxiliaries have also been added to
the grand pageant 1t is the opinion
of every one who has visited Eldorado
that Bolossy Kiralfy's spectacle far
exce1s in grandeur and impressiveness
anything of the kind ever before at
tempted. Up to the present more
than ninety thousand people have
witnessed it. With the advent of
steady, warm weather the average at
tendance has largely increased. The
expenses of running the place are
about $40, 900 per week.
