most extraordinary cosmopoIite and
attractive display, such as would be inn
possible without the cooperation and

termed a warEke and historic mounted

The First of May.

Hurrah for the first of May,
For it was glorious day,
Out there in Manila Bay.
Never was q Drawer feat
Than the sailing of our fleet
Foreign foes and guns TO meet,
Where the fire from shore combines
With the ships and sunken mines
In the far-Off Philippines
Tarnished is the Spanish crown,
For we did their ships and town
In deep manila-brOwn.
Hurrah for the Yankee feeti
She has never known defeat
She shall never sound retreati
O. she didn't Dewey thing
To the little Spanish king
When she made Manila ring,
Where are Spanish men and shIpsg
Battered into bloody chips
Gone into a last eclipse.
For this time the lying ghOuls
Lost more than pair of mules
Coward vicious. prating fools.
Yankee pigsr they ieer and hoot;
In one way the name will suit,
For it's hard and deep We root.
Maybe were a little slow,
But if we must strike blow,
Something's surely got to so.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Wilton Lackaye and his company spent
the greater part of their time yesterday
in rehearsing the new production, Char
ley O'Mailey." This, together with the
two performances given since the OPEN
ing night has brought out the minor and
also the better details of the piece to
such an extent that there is no longer
doubt of the excellence OF Mr. Lackaye's s
latest acquisition. AS stated in yeSter
days Times. there is no end of real
strength in the presentation, and this has
been so empha asized by the powerful cast
which holds the boards at the Lafay
cite that its audiences have been moved
10 the widest enthusiasm. Mr. Lackaye's :
magnificent work in the third and las;
acts Of the drama is deserving of the
highest praise. while the wonderful real
istic duel with its strange ending, which
closes the play. has probably never been
equaled in this city. Altogether. Char
, ley O'Aialley' is a most worthy attrac-
ton. which is rapidly nearing perfection
with the hard work put upon it.
Frank Daniels's prediction that his new
comic opera success. "The Idols Eye, -
was bound to be a triumph on account of
its possessing an abundance of whist
lerS, by which he meant melodies easily
impressed on the memory by a single
hearing and as easily reproduced by ear,
/ seems to have proved true. Reports from
music stores are to the effect that more
numbers of the score of the piece have
been sold than of any other comic opera
written in the past two years. The num-
Der of these popular melodies must not
be taken, however. as indicating that
there is not a plentitUde of good sub
staHtial music. Victor Herbert is claim
ed to have said that he considers his
work in The Idols Eye" as surprising
any other music he has ever written.
The location Of the scene of the story
: in india gave to the composer an excellent
opportunity for clothing much of the score
with the rich color of the Orient. He has
/ aimed to demonstrate again that music
should not only be pleasing TO the ear
! but eloquent in it's subject TO the mind.
With this end in view he has labored
hard and the verdict rendered here dur
( ing Mr.. Danielss engagement at the Co
/ lumbia last February and since echoed
] by the press of every other city in which
