repertoire, but her reception as Hester
Grazebrook has been so remarkably
enthusiastic that she has decided to
make it the chief feature of her roper
tory for the remainder of the season.
Accordingly, IAN Unequal Match" will
be given the preference for the local
engagement. being billed for the first
four nights, and also for Saturday aft
erDoon.
The plot turns upon the marriage of
"a simple country lass" TO an English
baronet.
At'the time of his engagement the
young man was very poor, and had no
hope of succeeding to the title, as sew
eral lives stood in his way.
However, he learns before his mar
rage that his fortunes have taken a
turn for the better, and that he is soon
to come into possession of vast wealth; ;
and though the heroine, Hester, offers
to release him. he manfully keeps his
pledge to wed her, and the union is con-
summaled.
In the second act it is shown how the
wfe'S ignorance and ineXperiencs Jars
continually Oh her husbands nerves,
and frequently places him in very awk-
ward positions. These are aggravated
by designing widow, who was in love
with the hero when lie and. she were
both poor. Hester resolves to make a
bold fight for her husbands love and
her own happiness. and, consequently,
in the last act she is seen putting on the
gloss and frivolity of an ultra-tashiona-
BILE woman of society.
1t is almost unnecessary to say she
succeeds, for the play is comedy, and
it is the business of comedy to end hap
PLY and send the spectators away in a
pleasant mood.

and as this is a play which needs neither
introduction nor recommendation, it is

are acquainted with the depth of Miss
Wainwrght'S pathos and the exquisite
ness of her comedy, that it will prove
one of the prime events of the week.

to give their closing concert OF this sea-
son, which, by the way,is the nineteenth
consecutive season given by Mr.. Seibert
in this city, at the Metropolitan tonight.
Instead of giving it at the Turner hall
Sunday afternoon, as originally ar
ranged, Mr.. Seibert has augmented his
orchestra to fifty musicians for this
occasion, and he can rive the concert to
much better advantage at the Metro
politan than at the Turner hall, on
account of having more roOmy stage
and auditorium. Three soloists have
been engaged for this special occasion.
The admission to the concert at the
Metropolitan will be the same as charged
for the concerts given at Turner hall, so
cents for the first floor and 25 cents for
the balcony. Seats for the concert can
new be secured at the Metropolitan box
Office. The full military band will play
on this occasion in uniform. under the
direction of George Seibert Jr.. playing

WHOSE TURN NEXT
To-Night's Meeting of the
Police Board.
Speculation as to the Result-Eyi.
dence of Corruption Still
Being Collected.

The most absorbing topic OF conversation
In police circles yesterday was tonight's meet
ing of the Commissioners. The Chief and the
Commissioners have plainly intimated that the
work OF decapitation is not by any means CON-
pleted, but they are careful not TO give any
elew as to where the Ak will fall
The men whom the Chief has specially de-
tailed TO furnish him with proofs OF corruption
are not finished with their work yet and the
evidence against sergeants and patrolmen
under suspicion is accommodating.
II is understood that special attention is
being paid TO The "tenderloln" district and it is
common talk that among the stars to fall to-
night will be some that have shed their luster
In that district.
A significant fact developed yesterday.
Patrolmen "Scotty'' Campbell and Joseph Bur-
nett bad their beats changed. Campbell has
been in the "tenderlOin" district on Eddy and
Ellis streets for a considerable time and now
he Is patroiling beat at the western end of
McAIlister street. Burnett has been on the
Kearny-street beat and has been transferred to
the North End station. IL Is, oil course, custo-
mary to change men in this way, but 1t is pecu-
liar that these TWO efficient officers should be

answer, "there is nothing new 10 report"
What will the Grand jury do? Is a question
that comes prominently forward. There Is a

When the steamer Alvira. flag bedecked
and picnicky-looking. started on her adj
vertised excursion to Vallejo and Martinez
yesterday morning. her machinery was
augmented by an extra wheel, which had
to be looked after by an army of trained
steerers.
Captain Rideout had no hope for the in
PRODUCTION of new system for regulating
the Alvira's course, for he personally was
not interested in the spare wheel or its
attendants, so it is claimed.
One Captain Boone. better known as a
sport, and several men who believe in cold
decks and hot drinks, originated the
scheme of providing the steamer with the
aforesaid wheel and accompanying steers
