ADJUSTMENTS.

There was not the crowd at the four
places of amusement last night that the
throngs in town indicated there would be.
Hard times were reflected in the turnout
everywhere. for in place of the jam that
used to be witnessed during conference,
the crowding was all in the cheap places,
and the quarters where dollar was
charged were very SHINY tenanted. Prob
ably about s1,6OO was the total of the
nights receipts everywhere, the theatre
leading off with S700, the tabernacle with
500, and the Grand and Lyceum dividing
up the remainder with the minor share
for the horse show. AS far as could be
judged, however, there was genuine en-
variety in the four bills gave our country
cousins a most satisfactory field TO
choose from. The three theatres present
the same bills tonight.
AT THE THEATRE-"A Bowery
Girl" is a gem of purest ray serene,
plucked right from the heart of the bow
cry, play, players, scenes and all. Pete
Daley and May Irwin in their most ex-
uberant moments never imagined any
thing more exhilira tingly screaming in
the melodramatic line than this teening,
bloodthirsty sensation. The gallery boys,
of whom there were over a thousand
wedged into the three circleS- voted it the
grandest success that ever shook the
walls of the theatre. BY actual count,
there was one conhagration, one eXpio-
sion, one stabbing, nine knockdowns one
starved girl, hIty-two .'standbacA vii
lains," ninety-three Hal ha. l have you
noW'S," sixteen "damnationsur ten
"Foileds!" six "Savedsm and eighteen
Don't touch mel Don't come near NEST"
Nothing We think could have been con-
ceived that would more thoroughly call
up the thrills and shudders for gallery
night, such as last evening was. 1t will
all be done over tonight. and without
doubt there Will be the same outpouring
to witness il.
AT THE GRAND.-Two plays, of
widely varying character, entertained an
audience of goodly dimensions down
stairs. and packed ones above at this
house last evening" The first a serious
sketch called I'm Howard County, late

the dramatization gave Mr. Edwards
chance to do some sincerely manly work.
and Miss Belgrade TO go creditably
through a not very eXacting part. 9th
ers of the company, especially Mr.. Eide
son as an old southerner, and Mr.. Blake
more as very daintily conceived old ne
gro, lent good support. Turned Up, the
main effort of the evening, is a wildly
ridiculous farce of the broadcast sort, N
which Mr.. Edeson plays ludicrous old
man, Edwards appears as clustering old
sea dog, and Blakemore has the role OF
d negresS adventures. We thought the
woman with a past had been portrayed
in all possible shapes and forms, but it
remained for Mr.. Blakemore t oreveal a
new field of possibilities. His role was
the hit of the night, and though it was SO
wildly and improbably funny as to rob
the whole sketch of the name of even
farce and TO land it in the realm of eX-
travaganza, still it caused such un-
bounded merriment that no one was dis
posed to criticise. Edeson and Edwards
were both strong in their roles, though
neither had the chance for hilartty that
Blakemore did. None of the ladies had
anything especial to do, but all, Miss Bel
garde, Miss Chamberlin, Miss Dupont,
and Miss IZett, filled the parts accept.
ably. Mr.. Wyngate did good deal of
hard work in not particularly brilliant
part with cleverness, and the others
formed suitable aids. The double bill
runs all the week.
AT THE TABERNACLE.-From leo
to 1850 people assembled at the taber-
nacle last night to give the choir and the
band the first public greeting they have
received after their successful visit to
Denver. The concert was greatly en-
cores, the most vociferous being accord
ed the girl violinist, Susie Grant, Mr..
Schettler, the guitar soloist, and Mr.. Nc
Clellan. the new organist and musician.

usual standard. They only rendered one
selection together. the Soldiers Chorus,
but it went eXcellently. The choir gave
that most exquisite number, 'Sleep while
the Soft Evening Breezes,' in most beau
tiful style, and wound up with the ma
jestic .Hallelujah.' The band showed
that it would have been strange indeed
If it had met conqueror in Denver. The
reeds, the wind, the wood and the brass
instruments, were all SO good that 1t is
impossible TO say where most praise be-

lead instruments. The blending and shad-
ing were admiral BILE 1t is sincerely to be

ladies' chorus unfortunately did not do
the good work they did in Denver; when
unaccompanied the effect was beautiful,

though she and the choir would have
done well to present something newer.
Mr.. Stephens presided over the choir and
Mr. Peterson over the band.
THE LYCEUM.-This little place had
on exhibition last night a troupe of
trained horses, trained and exhibited by
Professor D. NJ. Bristol. The noble ami
mails were perfectly at home on a stage

The attendance was very good, consider

portion of the seating capacity down
stairs being occupied. The performance is
decidedly clever, some of the acts. won
