mas Deen lOlu already IN THESE columns;
courageous as Il soldier, and winning his
epaulets at 10; observing as Travelled
author, it remained for him to be crowned
master as violinlst of whom the Chicago
Inter Ocean recently said:
This rare old rover, who has circumnavi-
gated the globe so many times, whose music
has pulsated from CHINA TO California from
New YORK to New Zealand, appears hardy Il
whit changed in personal appearance, though
he has passed the three-score mile post of lie.
His playing has the peculiar charm of satisfy
ing the critical as well as the popular taste.
he stands ike some old SwOrdsman OF the
Orient whose flashing cImeter surrounds his
person with ring of living light; save that
RemeEy1's bow waves Tor melody like q magic
wand of peace and seems to play upon the
heart strings rather than merely awaken
sounds from insenate wood. When he plays
he closes his eyes like some sphinx, and
smiles In his walking sleep as il in pleasant
dreams, when arousing some sN eet cadence
or mighty chord or making the music hum
like the drone OF insects on Il drowsy alter
noon.

The New York Stock Company open
tonight at the Clunie in the powerful
melodrama around the World" The
play is in three acts, and calls into serv-
ice all the reserve force of this excellent
organization. The dramatic scenes are
carried by Miss Nannary and Messrs.
Snow AMI Hallett, while comedy, of
which there is an abundance, is dis
tributed between Messrs. Waldron,
Bradley and bailey. This will be the
latter's initial appearance and his many
friends are on the qui CiUe to see if he Is
correspondingly as clever a performer as
a manager. During the scene en- voyage
there will be number of musical num-
bers introduced that viii add to an in
tereSting performance. The public are
beginning TO appreciate how much they
will miss this organization after their de-
parture. and are giving them hearty sup
port during these their few remaining
weeks stay.
Not since Booth and Barrett appeared
here some six or seven years ago has
there been so much money taken for any
single performance, dramatic or operate.
as on Saturday night at the rendition of
robin Hood" by the Bostonians.
Just why the tariff for reserved seats
hal ~ llat ~, -,
previous performances is not apparent,
as of the three representations already
given of this opera, that of last Saturday
was the most Indifferent. Much had
been said in advance with reference to
the intention of the company to depart
by the regular Oregon express and
the possible abbrevIation of the
opera in consequence, but the opera
was given entire. The prima
donna, Camille D'Arville, for some
reason unexplained, did not APP
pear, her place being taken by Fatmah
Deavid, her understudy. This lady,
while possessing pleasing face and be-
ing besides graceful actress, is entirely
incompetent to assume the role Of Maid
Marian. Her method is wretched,
and her voice, what there was
OF it, decidedly thin and wiry.
This was the one unpardonaule
feature of the performance, Mr.. Hotf
was evidently under the weather, evinc-
ing considerable hoarseness in the first
act, which, however, disappeared some
what ere the fall OF the curtain. Jesse
Bartlett Davis was all that could be de-
sired, and Macdonald sang excellently,
Mr.. CowleS, to our thinking the star OF
the cast, did not sing with the same ease
and resonance as Ut former appearances,
probably owing TO indisposition. Barna-
bee and Rockingham were as mirth pro-
l. nj Ia
the entire opera was produced was up to
the standard of the Bostonians. Yet,
there was not the even excellence which
has characterized the previous efforts of
this company. 1t is said they will not
return TO the coast for three years, which
is TO be greatly regretted, as opera
companies OF excellence are few and far
between.
L. J. Holden's new company presented
cinderella" at the Metropolitan last
night to fair audience. The perform
ance was ar. excellent one and deserving
of a crowded house. The scenery was all
lew and the costumery rich and daz-
zling. Miss Ida Aubrey proved an ideal
Cinderella. and the various characters
were well presented. Jean Weiner's
Dandini was especially good. Little
Irene, the child artlste, was roundly ap-
plauded and received several elegant
floral tributes. Robert Leandro and j, &.
work on the parallel bars, and Willie and
Lille Coles some daring feats on the
double trapeze. Ala Zada, the NEGRO
mancer, entertained the audience with q
variety of clever tricks. Last nights
performance was the first given by the
company since its organization, and of
course every thing did not run as
