AMUSEMENTS.

Academy of Music.-The Hinrichs opera
season closed on Saturday night, and the
audience crowded the Academy of Music
to it's fullest extent. This big audience
was doomed to a disappointment, how
ever, for Guile, the French tenor, could
not sing on account of cold which he
caught Friday night. 1t was the first time
in four years that he had disappointed an
audience and he said himself that he was
more grieved than the audience could be,
but it was impossible for him to sing, and
Mr.. Michelena sang Manrico in I'll TROY
atore'' in his place. Sig. Del Puente, who
is a prime favorite here, sang the Count
di Luna in spirited and artistic manner.
In II Pagliacci' Sig. Del Papa repeated his
excellent Interpretation of Canio,. and all
the other artists were heard at their best.
The Emmet Guard Fete.-The Emmet
Guard have every reason to feel graft
fed over the success of their encampment
past week at Capitol Park, and, as they
now need but few hundred dollars of the
sum they hoped to realize from the enter
tainment, they will continue 1t for two
nights more. They expect to obtain funds
sufficient both to uniform themselves and
take them to St. Louis, and, with the at
fractions which they provided for this
and tomorrow evening, they ought to real
iZe their best hopes. Maj Mackenzie who
has greatly entertained the crowds that
have visited the park by his bagpipe, will
give a genuine Scottish sword dance this
evening, and battery A, District National
Guard; the Corcoran Cadet Corps and the
Georgetown Cycle Club will also be present
and lend attractiveness to the evening
The Entire Nous Club.-The Entire Nous
Club has been working faithfully, so that
their entertainment this evening-Carroll
Institute Hall-will be a complete success
The members Of the club under the direc-
tion of Mr. c. Garvin Gilmaine, will present
the three-act comedy Snow Ball." and the
one-act farce My Wife's Bonnet" The
members of the Georgetown Amateur Or
will render a vocal solo. 1t Is thought that
and successful, as both plays have been
successfully produced before by this club.
The Burnt Cork Club.--The Burnt Cork
Club an organization in which there is
some of the best talent in the city, are now
making up their dates for the summer sea-
son. They will play in Laurel tomorrow
evening. Those who will go with the club
are the Del Ray brothers, the Graham
brothers, Byron Bond, Charles Shackelford
Howard and Leigh, Stephen Clements and
Dimple Shackelford For the first time the
club will put on the spiritualistic per-
formance in Laurel, which it has had in
preparation for a long time, and the Gra-
ham brothers are prepared to give mystify-
ing experiments in that line. The other
dates for the summer include Rockville,
Falls Church, Culpeper Charlottesville,
Alexandria, Frederick, Gaithersburg and
towns in the western part Of Maryland.
