the run Of Ship Alloy in Boston. the Herald
a few days ago said:
The remarkable three months engagement
OF the Ship Alloy Company at the Park thea
ire comes to an end next Saturday night.
The record of Ship Alloy Is entirely unprece-
dented in the history Of Boston amusements,
and 1t Is gratifying to know that the "farci-
cal nautical OPERA" written and composed
by native Americans, has proved source OF
large financial benefit to all who have been
associated with its career in this city. 1t can
be stated as an absolutely indisputable fact
that Ship Alloy has drawn the biggest house
got more laughs, called nut more demand S
for repetitions and won more general favor
with its audiences than any attraction ever
known at the Park theatre under the pres
emit regime.
This opera will be given at City hall to-
night and tomorrow night. Tickets can be
secured at Stockbridge's.
