The New York Stock Company closed
last night with "The Octoroon'' verv
successful week at the Opera-house. To-
night it begins the last week of it's five
months season, giving Lester Wallack,s
old and splendid comedy, Married
Life" The troupe has made many
warm trends here; its work has all been
wen Oone Its members have deported
themselves as ladies and gentlemen, thew
have commanded admiration by their at
on the stage and respect by the conduct
OIL their private lives. They have lifted
up the drama and done honor to a pro-

Richard Mansfield, the distinguished
actor. wanted a guarantee of $500 a nigbt
to come to Sacramento and play in two
pieces both of which he gave here a wear
ago. The local management properly re-
fused 10 give the guarantee. Mr. Mans
neId played III Oakland last week on a
/ guarantee OF $500 night, or $500 less than
ne demanded from Sacramento. But the
houses were not sufficiently large to meet
/ Ihe guarantee, the theater being little
more than two-thirds filled and The an

Mansfield did not like, though the an

insisted upon his making a speech when

| OakIanders wondering what he meant.
| Oakland is pleasant place to come To- but
| When one plays before an audience which is

such Kindly evidences of appreciation there IS
uouole pleasure. The last time / was here

Efforts to secure Nat Goodwin for a
Sacramento date in his new play 1.-THE

dates and on Saturday the Chronicle
stated that the Los Angeles Manager had
sued Goodwin for damages, and attached
his share of receipts at tho Baldwin
