Entertainments.

Two large audiences were present yester- day afternoon and evening at the final per formances of the Bostonians in English opera. "Robin Hood" was presented at tho matinee with the same perfect cast which rendered the opera so delightfully."- Tuesday evening. That beautiful comic opera, Dorothy" was presented last even- ing with an ideal cast, which included art ists of world wide reputation, and as was to be expected scored an instantaneous hit. From tue rising to the fall of the curtain those who went to see and hear retained their places as if carried away with the excellent singing, acting and stage work. Eugene Cowles' beautiful bass was again heard to perfection in the role of Esquire Bantam" and w. H. Nc Donald was all that could be desired as Harry Sherwood. George Buckingham was at his best in his role of "Lurcher'' and kept his audience in laughter whenever he was upon the stage. The opera served to introduce a new p1ima donna in the per son of Miss Caroline Hamilton, and that we'll known and popular contralto, Jessie Bartlett Davis, in the roles respectively of "D Dorothy Bantam" and Lydia Flaw thorne." The role of Godfrey Wilder was in the hands of Edwin W. Hoff, and the work of these three artists was simply per feet, both unsteady and srtistically. The company is always certain of hearty well come whenever they appear here.
 "Jane," the successful farcical comedy by Harry Nichols and w. Lestvey, will be presented here by the original company February IS and 19, with matinee on the afternoon of the 18th. The cast consists of M Paul Arthur, MT. M. 0. Daly, MT. R. F. Cotton, Master Joseph Totten, MT.

 This evening at the Hyperion MT. John L. Stoddard will repeat his lecture on Jerusalem and the Jews.
 PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 Miss Nellie McHenry and her company certainly tried hard enough to please their audience last evening, but if the truth must be told, "A Night at the Circus" fur nished very little opportunity for real wit and merry making, and too often drifted into vulgarity. The company is a good one and the four young ladies who imper- sonated the pupils of the little Quaker gov erness were greeted with several encores. The most meritorious part of the enter tainment was the grotesque dancing and gymnastic feats by Messrs. Gilroy and Mo Kinley. Miss Finlayson and MT. Tom Karl of the "Bostonians" occupied one of the private boxes and were apparently in- terested auditors.
 ''Horse and Horse" will be here Febru ary IT, "Aunt Bridget's Baby" February 19, "Rices "Knotty Affair" February g, "Old Jed Prouty" February 23 and "A.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 For the rest of this week the "Boy Tramp" changed 80 as to be almost en- tirely new, will hold the boards. It is full of highly dramatic situations we'll brought out. The special scenery used in the play includes splendid view of the Passaic river, splendid starlight and beautiful moonrise effect, but the most realistic scenic effect in the whole play is the great Brooklyn bridge scene, showing cars cross ing the bridge, while underneath steamers and boats of various kinds are plying to and fro.
