ADJUSTMENTS

A good house, large audience was at
the Opera-house last night, and was thor
oughly well pleased with the New
York Stock Company's presentation of
"M'liss." Miss Calef gives the title
character a strength and finish that is
satisfying 10 good dramatic tastes. Mr..
Cleaves has made his Yuba Bill decided
improvement over that of the first night
it is now almost f1awless and a strong,
hearty and very accurate character. MIR.
WaldroD's mountain Justice of the Peace
is one of the best works he has given us.
All in all the play is a complete success.
Tonight about hundred ladies of the
Foresters' gathering will attend at the
Opera-house in body.
Manager Todd says the performance of
the Howard Athen@um Company at the
Metropolitan Friday and Saturday nights
will begin at o'clock sharp on ac-
count of the length of the programme,
and that Saturday nights performance
Will be as complete as Fridays, though
the troupe leaves that night, arrange
ments having been made to enable The
company to depart an hour and more
later than the schedule train time.
Arrangements have been perfected for
the appearance of the Stanford University
Glee Club in this city next Thursday
evening, May 25th, at the Congregational
Church. The club will appear under the
management of Frank Peltier and Edgar
M. Sheehan, and efforts will be made to
make 1t one of the most pleasing enter
tainments ever given here. The Berke-
ley Glee Club delighted an audience OF
over thousand people when 1t appeared
here few months ago, and many eX-

might repeat the musical. The Stanford
Glee Club claims to be as fine an organi-
zation of its kind as there is in the State,
ana wherever 1t has appeared the press
has spoken of it as a combination OF rare
musical talent. The catchy college songs
have pleased hundreds of people, and it
is thought that Congregational Church
will be crowded with people anxious to
hear the Stanford boys. one of the feat
ures of the evening will be the appear
ance of Miss Leda Peltier in two vocal
solos. Miss Peltier was reared in this
city, and is possessed of remarkably
fine contralto voice of sweetness and
strength, and Of which she has eX-
cellent control. 1t will be her first ap-
pearance in public, and there are many
very anxious to hear her sing. She has
been studying in San Francisco for the
past year. A mandolin club will also
take part in the entertainment.
Manager Daley says his season closes
here June 4th, instead of June 1lth, but
that this was long ago arranged and is no
new thing. He has had sign up for Il week
to that effect, which reads, Not God By.
but Au Revoir." He has contracted the
New York. Stock Company for the San
Francisco National Theater for eight
weeks from June 9th. After that. like all
theatrical troupes, he is open to engage
ment If Sacramento terms are better or
as good as he can get elsewhese, he will
return by the lst Of September, otherwise
not. He denies emphatically that his
closing here is due to any quarrels with
the local management. There was disa-
greement in December and January, but
now, he adds, he has nothing to complain
OF, and leaves simply because he does not
think it profitable to play here in the
summer season.
Miss Nannary of tho New York Stock
Company, who has been taking weeks
rest abroad, returns to the city to-day.
