one OF the best that has been delivered

Another full house at the Clunie Opera

peated tonight. This is the last week of
The company. That it is to close its en-
gagement will be greatly regretted by the
amusement-Ioving public, 1t has been
generous, bounteous in patronage, has
appreciated the merit of the troupe and
shown disposition to keep the house
well filed. That Mr.. Daley cuts off his
intention to remain and announces the
close of the engagement is therefore a
source ofgeneral regret. The causes lead
ing to it are briefly stated on both sides
below.
Mr.. Daley, Of the New York Stock
Company, came before the curtain at the
Opera-house last night and made a
lengthy speech, in several parts of which
he was applauded. He acknowledged the
generous, appreciative patronage OF the
public, and testified to the fact that the
people here will support good perform
ances at low but paying prices. He said
that Sacramento had the name abroad OF
being theatrical mOrgue, but he had
found ready and liberal public, meeting
his every effort. This, he said, would he
the last week of the company. The rea-
sons for leaving he set out at great length.
He had come to stay year, and his peo-
pie had understood that they were to be
permanent. But he charged that the pro-
prietor, General Clunie, aud the manager.
Mir. Todd, had not kept faith with him.
The contract called for properly warm
ing the house and furnishing the stage.
That had not been done, the stage had been
neglected, and ne had been compelled to

tlciencies. From the outset there had
been a wrangle between himself
and Mr.. Todd, and the latter had
tried TO get members of his company
away from him. All manner OF annov-
ances had been put upon him and the
company. Finally his people wanted to
know if they were to be permanent for
long season. and if they could safely de-
cline other offered engagements. He had
sought out General Clunie yesterday to
have it settled and term contract, spe-
cific in detail, made. The General had
put him off till p. NJ, then until /, and
then until Wednesday. He daley was
tired of waiting, his people wanted to
know if they were to be engaged Tor a
term or not, and so he had resolved to
quit at the end Of this week. He did not
think, that he had been treated with
proper consideration, and resented being
put off and tritied with. Mr.. Daley
showed reporters his contract, which Is
the ordinary printed form and for one
week, and as long as the engagement

wise.n He also showed a letter from
Mr.. Duakbld and wife eanceling their en-
gagement because the stage is so cold. and
because they could not be assured of
term engagement. Mr.. Daley spoke in
severe terms and expressed himself as
unable to get along with Mr.. Todd.
General Clunie and Manager Todd were
