The last performance of Tuxedo" at the
Clunie Opera-house this evening, to be
presented by George Thatcher's Min
strels and Rich 81 Harris Comedy Com
pany, promises to be, as regards the sing
ing part Of the performance, a reminis-
cent one. In response to numerous re-
quests the old songs of long ago will be
sung by the vocalistS of the company
and as they are vocalists of fine ability,
the treat in store is a rich one. Moore
has chosen for his selection the song our
fathers sung, katy Darling; Jose's
number will be the equally old and
beautiful love long, "Belle Brandon;
Lewis will sing the darkey plantation
song, "My Old kentucky Home'; Frill-
man, the pride of the basso heart, Rocked
in the Cradle of the Deep" and Dough-
erty will sing his success of two genera
tions, "Sweet Evelina." Mr.. Thatcher's
contribution will be his new story, to be
given by him for the first time to any
audience. The management authorizes
the statement that to-night'S performance
viii be full and complete, as the company
is not to leave the city until tomorrow,
and has no need to cut short or hasten its
entertainment.
The Opera-house was filled last night,
indeed it was the best second-night house
seen here in years. The audience was
thoroughly well-pleased and the applause
was of the most tlattering character.
Thursday evening next at the Metro
politan Theater testimonial concert
will be given to w. II. Kinross, con-
ductor of the Sacramento Choral Society,
Mcneil Club and Turner Harmonic.
The occasion will be a marked one be-
cause Of the fitness OF such a compliment
to a superior vocalist and teacher who
has done so much to advance musical
tastes and capacity in this community,
and because of the excellence Of the en-
tertainment forecast by the announce
ments. The insrumentalist musicians
of the city will appear as volunteers, in
itself marked compliment. There will
be forty male voices the McNeill Club,
much strengthened. They Will sing
Dudley Bucks king Olaf's Christmas -
q work new to Sacramento. The Arion
Mandolin Club, {. Stever, director, viii
make its debut; Professor J. II. Rose
xvaId. the distinguished violinist of San
Francisco; Mrs. a. Il. Bruno, the we'll
known soprano: Mrs. Charles Dickman
cultured contralto; Alfred Wilkie,
tenor. and Fl. A. Melvin, basso, all OF
san Francisco, have volunteered, and
fb1Is testify their appreciation Of
fhe work and ability of the bene-
fciarv. Such a list of artists in
q choice and varied programme, ought TO
insure a crowded house. But Mr.. Kin
ross claims are strong. lie has been
identified with about all leading musical
features in this city ever since the organl-
zation of the Mcneil Club, now almost
i've years ago, in cultivation of home
talent, in local presentation Of oratorio
and opera, and in direction or partlcipa,7
tion in church charity ana society musical
entertainments. No one has done as
mncb 10 develop and advance home
musical talent in his time. Mr.. hlnross
had arranged to return TO professional NE
under lucrative Eastern engagement IN
onera hut he has been induced by indi-
Vidual, by public and by the influence Of
societies to reconsider the esoir Gesointi0n5l ION
and for the present at least remain ana io
continue his work here. Mr.. hlnross 9e5
serves and viii doubtless have crowded
audience Thursday night. The box
opens at Purnell's book store on MOI Monday lay
at A. NJ. A large number eL Oh seas otstion a. y
= veil founded that the box-sheet Will
on opening be rapidly filled.
