ADJUSTMENTS,

Manager Todd makes q special an
nouncement for the Metropolitan The
alter this evening, upon which he prides
himself very much. He has secured
Robert FitZsimmons, the worlds cham
pion pugilist, to make his first appear
ance in the boxing bouts in Sacramento
before he gives any anywhere else. The
event Will take place tonight, and has
teen arranged for only at very great
expense; so great, indeed, that the
management has been compelled to
place the prices at 81 30 for the lower
sections Of the house and 81 for the
upper, and it was difficult to secure
Ftzsimmons at even these prices. There
will be two boxing events of four
rounds each between Fitzsimmons and
Dan Hickey and between Fitzsimmons
and Jack Steiner These bouts will be
conducted in strict accordance with the
established rules of the ring, and the
men will give as genuine an exhibition
Of skilled boxing as it is possible to
have outside of a contest for a purse.
That the audience may have a full
evenings entertainment, Manager Todd
has engaged the Broadway Comedians
Company, which will appear in Town
Topics" introducing all the features of
that farce-comedy and variety and
character acting show, as it has been
given at the Clunie Opera-house for a
week past filing the house nightly; in
deed, Saturday night the company
played to the largest audience ever
gathered in the Opera house, and
the last night every seat was sold be-
fore noon yesterday. The boxing bouts
will be introduced between the acts of
the play Manager Todd says that the
exhibition will be one entirely proper
for ladies to attend, precisely as
they have been filing theaters at the
Fast to see COrbett in similar exercises
while he was champion. Fitzsimmons,
it is said, shows up better on the stage
in a scientific boxing contest than he
does in the ring. This was remarked of
Corbett and others, they are really at
their best when boxing for points SO
far as the audience is concerned. This
will be the only opportunity to see
Fitzsimmons in action, since, after a,
short appearance in San Francisco, he
will go East There is considerable
pride taken by the management that
Fitzsimmons' first boxing exhibition
ahead of San Francisco, where it was
sought to bring him out Saturday
night The box Office of the Metropoli-
tan Theater will be open at 3 this
morning, to enable those who wish to
reserve seats to do SO, no extra charge
being made therefor.
At the Clunie Opera-house this even
ing another of II. L. Leavitt's variety
and farce-comedy companies, playing
under the title THE Yellow Kid" 1t
is represented as containing over
twenty acting people, nearly all of
whom are specialists and comedians, and
some of whom are fine character per-
senator's The farce is said to be full of
life snap, fun, song, dance and specially
action. In the company there are two
Spanish dancers and six mandolin
bandurria and Spanish lutte players,
with Professor j. Lombardero as leader
and principal player. About noon
to-day the company will make
"a street parade. The troupe will
remain at the Opera-house a
week. Mr. Leavitt has never yet
