ADJUSTMENTS.
rHoMAs d. sHEA To-NIGHT.

THOMAS e. SHEA TONIGHT.
In the last acl Of the "Man-o'-War's
Man" the play in which Thomas L.
Shea Is starring so successfully this
season, there is a very realistic naval
battle The United States warship
New Orleans, and the Spanish Scorpion
are plainly seen fighting in the harbor
of Corinto. There is the distant boom
ing of cannon, the smoke from the
guns. the flashes of light after every
report. and the disaster to the rigging
OF both vessels. AS the fight proceeds,
the New Orleans shows her superiority.
The mainmast of the Scorpion topples
over. A cannon ball pierces her bow,
and finally the Spanish warship sinks
beneath the waves while the excited
spectators cheer for the victorious
New Orleans. lt-is said that the per-
fectiOn' of this sea engagement required
a whole Summers work on the part OF
stage mechanical experts. No other
play before the public has a similar
scene, and wherever the ''Man-o'-
Wars Man" has been produced the
verdict on the naval battle has been
that it, Is one Of the greatest novelties
Of the season. This city will have an
opportunity of seeing the New Orleans
destroy the Scorpion on the Opera
House stage tonight. Mr.. Shea viii
