card at the Metropolitan opera house this
week. The Clement cambridge company
give a most excellent performance of the
play, and have delighted thousands of visit
ors during their engagement. This great
play will be seen but three more times in
this city, tonight, tomorrow night and the
usual matinee tomorrow AFTERNOON. Parties
desiring seats for the remaining performances
will do well to secure them early.
The announcement Of Otis SINNERS occu-
pancy of the stage at the Metropolitan opera
house next week is one of the most impor-

The engagement opens on Sunday evening.
The railway collision advertised to come
off today at Minnehaha Driving park is de-
clared off owing to insufficient street car
service, there being more people in the Twin
Cities than can be handled for any other
attractions than are now on. 1t Is also said
the base ball game scheduled at the same
time and place cannot take place, 1t being
an off day, and no game could legally take
place. iS17ov

last night, with expressions of admiration,
the grand pyrotechnic display which accom-
panies the destruction OF Pompeii. The seat
ing capacity of the enclosure from which the
people witness The last Days of Pompeif''
is capable Of accommodating 10000. It was
completely filed last night, and the manage
ment was obliged to cease selling tickets.
Outside the enclosure thousands Of people
congregated and waited for the con1agration
and the brilliant pyfotechnics with which the
spectacle closes every night.
The feature of the pyrotechnic display last
night was an elaborate set piece. represent
in Minnehaha Falls. Those who attended
the carnival last winter will remember this
feature as the most beautiful Of ali the In
genious and pyrotechnfc accomplishments ex-
hibited there. So it proved last night. It
will be repeated tonight.
The programme preceding the grand finale
proved entirely satisfactory. The gymnastfc
and acrobatic sspecfalties are presented by
first-class artists, and the dancers are grace
