of the question in a book produced by

make me believe that they are the una
dulterated work of either Sir Richard
Wallace or OF any other English gentle
man OF the last generation who had ac-
cess To the best society Of Paris. Not
only are there vulgarisms Of style both
IN English aud French which would be
excessively surprising in the mouth or
on the pen Of any such person. but the
tone, for instance, of the references To
the Empress Eugene is absolutely unlike
what We should expect from Sir Richard

The Grand Closes Saturday Might.

Professor E. G. Morton contradicted last night the report that appeared in an afternoon paper to the effect that the Grand would close to-night. The engage ment with the Night Owls does not con- olude till Saturday night and already 8 great many seats for the last night have been sold. Professor Morton, in his re- marks, said: "When the curtain goes down for the last time Saturday night, it will go down for the last time on the old Grand opera house. Monday morning workmen will begin on the new. The gal leries will be taken out and new horse shoe gallery put in in place of the present ono and an upper gallery will be added. There will be no more boxes on the stage and all the room occupied by them now will be added to the stage room. The old Music hall and later the Grand opera house will be thing of the past, and the new and improved Grand will take their place."
