ADJUSTMENTS.

Tyndan had good audience at the
Opera-house last evening. 1t was
high jinks on the stage in the mesmeric
section Of the entertainment. He had
excellent subjects, who were either gen.
uninely mesmerized, or they are far
cleverer performers than are usually
seen. One man was made to eat cam
die for candy, another an onion for an
apple, and one a cabbage for bread
One was made rigid and suspended
heels and neck on the backs of two
chairs and with Tyndall standing on
his stomach. Still other feats of a
striking character were performed. In
the mind-reading, which many believe
to be muscle-reading or muscle sug-
sestion, Tyndall at one time made
dive through a dark, low opening be-
meath the stage, dragging his subject
with him, and finding a hidden person
In the depths of the stage cellar. An
other entertainment tonight, when
mind-reading by wire will be feature.
On Capitol Park this evening, begin

The properties, we are assured, have
been carefully selected, and will be
placed by J. P. Hardy, the property
man of the Clunie Opera-house. The
Arion Orchestra will furnish the music
under direction of S. Heilbron. Shake
spearean songs will be given by local
singers, and Mr.. Sellery will sing solos.
The Silvius of the play will be taken by
Miss Harrington, who for six years did
male parts with great success. The
Rosalind will be by Miss Dallas, and
Mr.. Moulton will be the Touchstone of
the comedy. Mr.. Gibney and Mr.
Stockbridge will double, and both are
very successful in disguises. Mr.. Glib
ney, as the melancholy Jacques, has re-
cited the 'Seven Ages" more than a
hundred times in leading cities of the
Union, and is represented as being an
ideal Jacques. Mr.. Moulton has often,
as stock comedian at the Boston Mu-
scum, read Shakespeares comedy lines
and neither to Fanny Yantis nor Rose
Stuart is Shakespearean work unfamil-
lar, while Mr.. Lonergan has often had
In first-c1ass troupes heroic Shake
spearean parts. The auditorium will be
inclosed with canvas and the sittings
will be chairs, while the scenery will be
that of the green wood of the park. The
entrance to the auditorium will be on
the west, near the gardeners cottage
The comedy will be fully costumed, the
wardrobe having been ordered from
San Francisco for the purpose. So that
all in all, "As You Like It" ought to be
presented with credit to the performers
and to the satisfaction of the people
who attend. 1t is said that over
thousand tickets have already been
sold. There are no reserved seats and
but one price of admission, fifty cents.
This will be the first outdoor theatrical
performance ever given in interior CAL
ifornia.
