ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the Iowa State Band, the foremost of
American bands, will appear. There are
! fifty-two instrumentalists in the organiza-
| ton, with Frederick Phinney as leader,
who comes of a famous musical family.
1t was the official band for the entire sea-
son at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. Its
members were selected from 200 Ameri-
can bands, and thus the cream of band
/ lnStrumentalists was secured. 1t is es-
sentially an American band, and the first
to bear State name by legislative char
| ter. 1t has given over 200 concerts and
/ has invariably achieved success. 1t plays
with vigor, spirit and precision not sur
| passed by any. SacramentanS who heard
the band at the Worlds Fair are enthusi-
astic in sounding its praises, and advis-
ing the people not TO miss the oppor-
tunity now afforded. The band will
have in its support Miss Effie Stewart,
an American prima donna soprano, late
OF the Carl Rosa English Opera Company,
and Alonzo Hatch, lyric tenor, widely
known in Italian and English opera.
! The management, which is aided
! by some enthusiastic Sacramentans
who know of the band and it's
charming concerts, has wisely placed
! the price of admission at 80 cents for
y
! band concert is heard equally we'll from
all parts, unless indeed the best effects
| are secured in the gallery, since there is
! greater air space there above the seats.
Not a few critical music lovers have al
ready chosen seats in the gallery in pref
erence to any other part of the house.
Seats can be reserved at Neales music
store, Ninth and streets, for twenty-five
cents extra The net proceeds of the con-
cert will go in aid of the Midwinter Fair,
and will constitute really the first con-
trlbution from our people TO that scheme.
/ The programme for tonight is to be
popular one. One feature will be the in
PRODUCTION of the largest band instrument
ever played; another descriptive piece
entitled "a Trip Through the Midway
Plaisance."
The Clunie Opera-house was we'll filled
last night and The French Spy" was
! played with even more precision and
spirit than ever. Mr.. Berch's Achmet
! Bey is an admirably sustained character,
one of the best assumptions of servile
royalty and autocratic cruelty we have
seen. Mr.. Shows Colonel DeCoursey
was an artistic drawing, not over-colored,
! fine in its patriotic and chivalric tone
and all around complete. Miss Calef's
work is all pantOmimic and it is fault
! less. Mr.. Ward makes vigorous char
acter out of Mohamed, the spy. Miss
! Calef gives whistling solo and Miss
| Powers sings very we'll indeed the stir
ring "Marseillaise" hymn. There are
! two landscape views in the scenery that
are new and eXceedingly gratifying re-
suits of the artistic brush of Duran.
On the 18th and Goth insts the we'll
known Irish comedian, Daniel Sully,
1 will appear at the Metropolitan Theater
4 in the new Corner Grocery" and "Con
! Conroy, the Congressman" The box
Office opens for the reservation of seats
! this morning. Sully will be supported
! by II. A. Emerson, f. NJ. Allen, Ruth
Russell, Louise Sully, Fred 4. Richter,
George Mitchell and Miss Tot Allen, ali
represented as highly capable people.
The Corner Grocery" has been played
| here, but it is newly written and staged
| for this season. The second comedy has
not been given here. Sully does not make
a caricature OF his lrishman, but presents
! him as Iovabie, hearty, witty. manly
/ fellow, full OF human kindness and manly
/ impulses.
AT Armory Hall tonight the spirited
/ spectacular military drama, "Tripoli,"
! founded on incidents related to the war
/ between Algiers and the United States in
/ the early history of the Nation. The feat
ure OF the performance above ali else is
/ the appearance of the wonderful Mulan-
| bark 1ourage Arab acrobats, whose light
ning-like and furious vaulting and
ground tumbling are marvellous. The
Arabs are Mulanbark, manager, the
lofty; Hadii Brohiem, boxer, contortion-
I ist; Mohamed Ben Mohamet, the whirl-
wind; Abdalaze, Oscard and Hadji Ell
Lassan. the cyclones; Seibic. the strong
man.
The Improved Order OF Red Men, as
