company IN congenial parts. The opera
is spirited one, rapid in action and one
OF charming music. 1t is one calling for
line costumery and much pretty scenery,
ali OF which accessories have been freely
provided. The opera has had thorough
rehearsal and the management gives the
assurance that IL Will be presented as

Al the leaders have sung the opera be-
lore and are familiar with it throughout.
Pursuant to very general desire and
the urgent request of very many citizens.
arrangements nave been perfected by
Pavilion exhibitors and Mr.. Cassasa, by
which the Agricultural Pavilion will be
Kept open day anu evening all this week
beginning to-day. The Agricultural So
clety does not direct or manage it, but
gives the musicians and exhibitors the
privilege, and maintains it's guards and
local officers. All the foreign exhibitors
remain and the greater number ii not all
OF The others, with he splendid art
gallery uadar sdleriutendence of Mr..
stanton. The illusionlst concession
aries remain and give their entertain
nents. OF course the fair tickets are not
good for this week, but the charge have
been placed at 70 cents for single almis-
sions for adults and 10 cents for
children. There will be two 1ull con-
certs by Cassasa's Band of forty pieces,
one at and one at o'clock. Every
programme will be new and Mr. and
Mrs. Bates. the cornet soloists, and Mr.,

speciality OF the week, and Cassasa prom
ises the best efforts OF all his corps. The
music Will be heard to far greater ad-
vantage than heretofore, for the band
Will play under much more favorable
circumstances; during the playing there
will be allowed no soliciting by the
agents or solicitors OF the interior attrac-
tions. and this will greatly enhance the
enjoyment of the concerts. Seats for
some 200 people are to be arranged on the
/ lower floor near the band stand and
others indifferent parts, while the west
galleries Will accommodate 1000 others
with seats In the immediate vicinity OF
the band. Undoubtedly large numbers
who have not yet visited the Pavilion
will do so this week, the low price for
admission being strong inducement, to
say nothing OF the concerts which alone
Will be worth the charge. One night Will
be given over To Wagner's music, and
CasSasa says the selections throughout
viii be of the best concert order and of a
higher and also more popular class
than when playing for the fair. This

Cassasa is very solicitous that the peo-
pie will second his efforts to preserve
quiet during the band playing, as he is
anxious to demonstrate what his band
can do under the best circumstances.
Artistically beautiful and graceful,
dramatically strong and emotionally
powerful was the work of the Empire
Theater Company at the Metropolitan
Theater Saturday night in the drama
"Sowng the Wind" 1t is infrequent
that so polished a performance is wit
messed here in a play not classical or
standard. Miss Hampton, Mr.. Cromp-
ton and MIR. Faversham gave US in the
unhappy RoSamond the rasping old
bachelor and the faithful lover, respect
lively, examples of tauItless acting. Of
Henry Miller, long experienced, highly
capable and the leader of the troupe not
so much can be said, because he adapted
repression OF feeling to secure the effect
OF intense emotion, with the result that
his voice was two-thirds of the time in
audible. The repressive style is effective,
more so than the demonstrative-eith
carried to the extreme becomes offensive
to good taste. The audience was brill
liant one, the house was full and the ap-
plause was remarkably emphatic and
general. On several occasions the actors
were recalled to bow their acknowled-
ments.
