Sir Arthur suiiiyan's New Opcra.

LoNDoN, Jan. 3l.-Sir Arthur Sullivan's
grand opera, "Ivanhoe," was produced to-
night at Carte's new opera house, The
prince and princess of Wales and the duke
and duch css of Edin burgh were present. 1t
was superb performance, and the artistic
mise en-Scene was never equalled
on any London stage except the
Lyceum. The libretto, which was
written by Sturgis follows the plot of the
novel very closely. Nothing that Sir Ar
thur Sullivan has written before approaches
"lvanhoe" in imaginative power and breadth
of individuality and style. The piece is an
undoubted success.

There were only three members of the
county board present at the regular meeting
yesterday afternoon, but great mass of
routine business was handled.
Corrigan and Van Camp were the alb
sentees.
To state the plain facts in the case, the
meeting was good deal of a farce. Mr..
Berlin claimed, early in the session, that the
chairman had sat down on him so hard that
he would ''lilSe to see 'em do any more busi-
ness that day. Mr.. Berlin stuck to the
stand he had took, with the most important
result of keeping the county employees out of
their money for week longer.

meeting disclosed that they did not contain
the lengthy preamble and set of resolutions
introduced at the last meeting by Mr.. Berlin
relative TO L. A. Megeath, register of deeds,
being in arrears and calling upon the county
attorney for answers to certain questions re-
lative thereto. Mr.. Berlin entered a very
emphatic protest to the resolutions not hav-
ing been included in the minutes. Owing to
the absence Of Messrs Corrigan and Van
Camp, Chairman OKcefe withheld putting
the vote as to the approval of the minutes
until such time as these aDsentees should be
