At the Clunie Opera-house last night
1.-THE Galley Slave' was played. 1t was
| handsomely mounted. One OF the new
| scenes. THE Grand Canal III Venice" is
one of the best works Artist Duran has
! done-lt Is beautiful picture and high
! art work. The new face in the play was
that of Hattie Ross, tall, handsome
woman and an intelligent actress. She
met with decided favor. Messrs. Arm
| strong, Hosmer, Scott Burress. Stuart.
| Higgins and Misses Waldron, Wiedman.
| Powers and Jackson, personated the
characters committed TO them faithfully,
with Wit, feeling and spirit. 1t was an
all around good performance. 1t will be
| repeated tonight. The play is emotion
| ally sensational and romantic enough to
satisfy lovers OF The romantic drama
| fully.
! At the Metropolitan Theater last night
| the Waites, hypnOtists and mediums.
| gave another exhibition to a large audi
ence. 1t was even stranger and more
| mysterious than that of the first night.
Harry Waite's cabinet performances
were repeated. The young man protests
hotly, firmly, on and off the stage, that he
| IS not trickster. 1t being suggested that
| he can rise while bound in the chair and
! receive the articles passed over the cur
tain IN his mouth, be declares that to-
night his chair may be bound to the plat
| form and to the stage, if desired. His
| sealed envelope-reading was improved
last night by sealing the envelopes with
| wax ana, after the reading, returning
! them to the writers with the seal nm
broken and the ends unopened, as it was
charged that the elder Waite had Slit the
ends OF the envelopes and, on returning
on
OF reading The contents to the audi
| ence to prove the truth of Harry's
mind reading.' This certainly aug
ments the difficulty of explaining how
the reading of sealed papers was done.
liable tipping and floating were done las
night, and even two heavyweight news

could not hold the table from Waiting in

WrestlerS. with its legs. a pretty, bright
wlnsonle little girl was introduced. The
child, aged about Z, was bound to post
by the committee securely and covered
with an overcoat. In a tWinkling it was
on her. her arms through the sleeves and
her hands still bound. The elder Waite
gave his exhibition of parlor magic and
his lecture, and engineered things gem
| orally. 1t is just to say, however,
that DIR. Waite gave his committee
every opportunity they wished for TO
Ns
The audience was mystitied but not con-
WINGED, and voted the exhibition the best
OF its order ever given here. Tonight
Will be the last and will mainly be an
evening of hypnotiSm. DR.. Waite will
select subjects from the audience and put
them under hypnotic influence ''Scien-
tllc" evening is what he promises this
evening shall be, besides some of the
MEDIUMS work Will be given, and prob
ably the little girl medium, daughter of
Mrs. Kelley, will be again introduced.
II the Child is trickster she is the small
est and quickest ever seen. Her innocent
face and frank submission would seem to
negative any idea OF cheating. Never
theless, we are still of tue opinion that
spirits have nothing to 90 with the exhi-
bition. All the same it is a good show;
the best of it's order.
Miss Gertrude Carley-Auld, the Sacra-
nento cantatrice, had full house at her
concert at the Congreg ational Church last
night, concerning which expectation had
been so much stimulated. On neat pro-
gramme, she presented her audience with
portrait OF her teacher, NJ NE. Marchesi
OF Paris, from whom she'has just returned.
The programme was choice in selections
and much pleased the sympathetic yet
critical audience, who sent to Miss Aud a
wealth OF floral fayors. MeSsrs. Cohn
Croker aud hidder sang excellently.
| They nave not been heard to better adj
vantage; their trio is a strong one and
equal 10 some OF the most Wanted pro-
iesslonal trIos that concertiZe. Mr.. Cohn
in solos was especially happy, too, singing
with more iaan usual feeling. Sigmund

made his nrst appearance here. He is an
artist OF refined taste and exceeding grace

tan Oi musical execution did not divest
his work OF the warmth and depth of

tests IN playing. 1t is the ordinary and
inecnaDieaI player who does not enter
into The theme and express its meaning
through the mediunShip of the instru-
menI. Mr.. BeePs reception was so dis
criinlnatingIy cordial that he must have
been convinced that he had an audience
worthy oI his bow. Signor Tomaso, the
basso singer, made his first appearance
here Tor several years. Expectation con-
! corning his vocal ability had evidently
been raised TOO high. lie is not phe-
nomenal singer, though certainly Gull
llVated one. lie understands the art, and
Undoubtedly is Yersed in its intricacies.

Mr. Aeale to Miss Auld's third number
played flute obligato,with the skill for
which he IS known here as fiutist of
me ability. and Mrs. Pink ham, Mrs.

companists for the evening. Miss Carley-
