Miss Annie Ward Tiffany IA rene wing the
good impression SHE made here on her
former visit by her personati0n of the
Irish woman. Biddie Rnnan-a strong,
somewhat coarse idea of the character, but
altogether true to nature; taking into con-
sideration the circumstances by which she
is surrounded.
GENTLEMAN Jack" Corbett's piece at
the New California. is steadily declining
in business. The detail of policemen re-
quested after the first night to prevent
uproar was found unnecessary on Tues
day evening, as the house was only two
thirds full, and last night there was a
diminutinn on even that proportion. The
fact is the play is badly constructed. There
is ton much of Corbett. He ought to be
reserved for the bag punching and set-to
scenes ct the last. AS a lady remarked
last evening the performance would be q
disgrace to Dutch Flat company of ANA
teurS.

The Uncle Toms Cabin" combination
sent out from the Stock we'll in this city
disbanded in Clicago last Saturday. The
venture has been complete failure. There
was too much of Peter Jackson and Parson
Davies in il. The American people feel
disposed to relegate these fighters to the
priZa-ring where they belong, and to keep
the stage for higher purposes. This is the
Influence working in the present Corbett
enterprise at the California.
