JERUSALEM IS FALLEN.
It Will Go on Falling Six
Nights in the Week
at Eld0rado.
OPENING OF THE GREAT RESORT,
"King Solomon" and Kiralfy in All
Their Glory-A Truly Won
derful Spectacle.

Eldorado was opened last night t is
located in perhaps the most picturesque
spot on the Hudson River. The Palisades,
from the north and west view are a park
such as nature alone can furnish. New
York and the Hudson River are to the
east, and In the night the lights Of Brook
Ign. Staten Island and OF course this city
and Hopoken are plainly observed. The
different lights from the passing boats.
the railway signals and the quiet homes
make the view from Eldorado kaleido :
scope.
Last night went to the opening of Ell
dorado. The sail from jay street. New
York. up the Hudson to Weehawken was
pleasant and coaches awaited the visitors
in plenty.
In driving to the park by the circuit
uous road that gradually ascends the
rocky precipice that forms background
to the North River, one could not help
noticing the elevated railway structure,
nearly completed, that will do away with
carriages, and the beautiful lights that
were exhibited from the brow of the hill
as If to challenge those that glea med on
the river, in New York and elsew here for
briiliancy.
LIKE WONDERLAND.
Entrance to the grounds revealed q
wonderland. A fountain of water of
beautiful and varied hues threw ont It's
spray generously. and the diamond like
drops reflected the rainbow colors from
the thousands OF prisms that enliyened
and varied the lights arched over cross
walks in hundred places. Colored
| lights artistically arranged shed their
brilliancy from trees IN the beautiful
lawn where they we're suspended
To describe Eldorado Is difficult; to do
done Is to find fault, and all the fault
thai can be found deserving notice is that
Eldorado Was not created years ago.
THE SPECTACLE.
After walk through the delightful
grounds, visit to the large and decided
ly comfortable cafe. stroll on the bluff,
and ramble about the grove / reached
the arena and saw the greatest
spectacular play that ever
saw. 1t was king Solomon, or the De-
struction of Jerusalem" the greatest
effort of Bolossy Kiralfy.
The play consisted Of five parts and
was given in an ampitheatre where 5000
all that could te expected, and the
orchest ra under the leadership of HAban
Franks rendered excellent music.
The scene Of the grand ballet after the
queen OF Sheba and King solomon were
escorted TO Jerusalem was superb.
Never has Kiralfy equalled this effort
| Not less than 500 persons engaged In 1T
and the scores of figures they cut were
greatly applauded
So was the act Of King Solomon's wis
dom III determining who was the mother
of child. The athletic sports during the
evening were excellent and so was the
grand procession, which introduced He
brews, Edamites, Philistines. PhHnicians,
Egyptians and Arabians in The customs
of the age. The destruction OF the city
Of Jerusalem was grand and realistic.
The scenery used was good but moved
heavily because it was new. By tomor-
row night this difficulty will have been
overcome, and the programme will be
run off as il It were an ola one.
