scended, Mr.. Fitzgerald. the stage manager,
approached Mr.. Carleton and insisted upon
his going to the green-room to settle mat
ter of discipline, as he said, between him
self and MIR. BigelOw. Mr.. Carleton in
spirit OF Cancellation remarked, do not let
us have any annoyance on the eve of the
New Year" but as Mr.. Fitzgerald seemed
very persistent he went with him to the
green-room, where. TO his great surprise he
found the aj,rity of the company waiting
TO receive him. Finding no evidence of en-
nifty between Mr.. Fitzgerald and Mr. Bige-
low, he asked for an explanation. 1t was
given in the removal of a cloth from the
table on which a very elaborate set of silver
smoking service, made specially by Shreve,
was disclosed, and which was presented to
Mr. Carleton with the strongest express
sions Of good will and wishes for a happy
New Year by the members of the company.

A Circus without Horses.

When thesvast equestrian establishment
OF Sells Brothers arrived in Sydney, n. 5.
W., as We learn from a gentleman who came
from there on the last trip of the steamship
Monowai, tue authorities investigated the
condition of the circus live stock, and or
dered all the horses into quarantine, from
the fact that CHAMBERS had developed during
the trip from this pert. Two Of the animals
were ordered shot, out Of the band. 1t was
supposed this fatal disease was caused by
the horses being confined in the hold of the
steamship. AS a consequence of the anti
equine edict the equestrian feature was alto
gether omitted on the opening night of the
circus, and still the canvas was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The show had to de-
pend on the menagerie, the acrobats, gym
nasts and trapeZists; but it was so well
equipped in these res ects that the public
of Sydney were satisfied, and considered
they had received amply their moneys
worth. The Sells management had pur-
chased a number of colonial horses, and
when our informant left. had them trained
nearly ready for the ring.

The Old Cana

The New York Sun charges that the
comedy, THAT Girl From Mexico" played
by Sydney and Gladys Drew, is plagiarism
of the old English farce. ''Who Killed Cock
RObin?" first acted in London, in 1865. and
written by Charles Mathews, a finished and
clever dramatl,t. On February s, 1866, it was
acted in New York at the Olympic, where
Mrs. John Wood played the Castilian
heroine, j. II. StOdd8rt the parent in search
of a quiet life, Eliza Newton the forward
servant and L. l.. Davenport the audacious
hero. 1t ran two weeks at the Olympic,
and it was therefore pretty good thing, as
farces went in those days There is nothing
new under the sun. Mr.. Gordon, who
flched from Mathews, may be surprised to
learn that Mathews, in turn, stole from
the French; but Mathews is dead. and Cor
don cannot be forgiven. Mathews, at least
furnished the English for the farce, aud
Gordon has taken many of the bright lines
which Mathews turned over. At the same
time he has displayed ingenuity in elongat-
ing and mOdernizjng the stdSy and in the
introduction Of new characters.

his greatest winning. 1t is his latest and

faint OF the original Partisan indelcacy,

Creditable TO both his skill and good sense.
There are two widows OF the late Mr..

been regarded in his lifetime as sedate
and discreet London gentleman. His wife
In that city had been a decent and sober
consort, while another wife in Edinburgh
had been Of a cOntrastngly giddY nature.
His death happens before the opening OF the
play, and the women are introduced 10 tire
audience as brides anew. The English
widow becomes the wife Of an author, the
Scotch one marries a composer, and the two
pairs have gone to live In a London apart
ment house. There the perplexities Of the
four singularly related persons and the merri-
ment of the audience begin almost simulta-
neOusly. The disclosure Of Mr.. Wilkinson's
matrimonial duplicity is gradual and at
tended by many incidents, which make
folks laugh immOderately.

Has been assembled for tie sole purpose Of
performing this farce. The roles are all in
