TO-DAY the race which Par
Lament adjourns to attend takes
place in England. 1t is spelled
Derby, but called Darby.
The poisoning of the favorite,
Orme, about five weeks ago,
has caused a most profound SEN
sation in Great Britain. A big
reward was offered for the dis
covery of the culprit.
We're commencing already to re-
wise the prices on Suits where the
sizes are broken.
You gentlemen, that are holding
back expecting to get the nobby
Suits at cut prices this season, are
more than likely to get left. There
is hardly hobby stuff enough to go
round.
Better take your chances now, and
we'll make the price low enough.

last night and as many spectators reached the theatre
thereby proving themselves amphbious as the house
would hold The entertainment has given New York a
considerable respite but 1t has been little changed ana

were some in the audience who remembered that b. F.
Butler WAS once a candidate for President and at
another time OF Massachusetts, but there were
also many TO whom neither the name the make up
could appeal.
There was one actor who played the same part last
night as he did in the original production seventeen
wears ago. This was James s. Mat, who made the Lone
Fisherman famous stage figure. In spite OF tie

~DON GIOVANNI At THE OPERA

1t was hard on to IL O'Clock last night when the
curtain fell on the first act Of Don Giovanni Under
the circumstances, it woud be idle attempt to give
the very serious effort made to do justice to Mozars
master work the serious and detailed consideration which
IL deserved. The list Of names on the house bill had
decidedly distinguished aspect Madame Lehman was
Donna Anna: Madame Albani, Donna Elvra Miss Van
Zandt, Zerllna; VI. Lassale. Don Giovanni; Herr
KaliSCh, Don Otavi0: SgnOr Carbone, Masetto Sgnor
Scrbolini, ii Commentators, and VI. de Reszkc, Lepor
clio. This has the appearance OF notable cast and may
go down such in local history II does not suggest the
deficiencies which prevented complete enjoyment, such
the artistic penury OF Madame Abani's work and the
weakness Of Miss Van Zandt's voice, which prevented
her arch and amiabe mpersonation OF Zerllna from
being equally effective its musical side. The fame
of these ladies will therefore profit by the
record. Still, il a great artistic treat again 10
hear the greatest of all operas using that designation
in its old guise), and il calculated TO stimulate
listening in evening 10 Madame Lehmanns
dramatic singing see and hear NJ. Lassalle In part
which he has so thoroughly asslmilated as Don
Giovanni, to hear lovely and suavc performance
Of Dalla pace" and so perfect an application OF
the device of portamento Herr Kalsch placed to
his credit, to enjoy the pretty picture which Miss
Van Zandj presented and revcl in the humor Of
a LepoIellO like NJ. de Re,zke's Ii was grauhca
ton too to observe the enthusiasm aroused by tc
good work OF the evening and TO note that the old
opera public turned ont in splendid numbers to do
honor the opera.

PALMER,S THEATRE.

The final representation Of Alabama, at least for
the present. at Palmers Theatre will be given TO night
This piece has made the reputation Of its author, Mr.
Augustus Thomas, and has taken Its place the head
Of the popular pieces relative to American life. There
are few discrepancies in its plot, but its merits far
outweigh its defects while the fidelity Of It's por.
trare OF character and Of Southern life the beauty
of its spirit have commended it equally to intellectual
esteem and public affection Mr.. Palmer WILL no doubt
send 1t again a provincial tour. 4 play called
:" The Broken Seal" by Mr. Sidney Grundy, is soon to
be presented at Pamer's Theatre. In the meantime
this favOrite stage will for awhile be devoted TO the
capital play Of Jim the Penman,7 revival Of which
will be effected on Wednesday evening.

feel themselves free from the troublesome necessity OF
connecting their speclaes by lines OF dialogue. The
performance. with the singers, the dancers and the
monkey, will go for the rest OF the week.
