enthusiasm bordering on an uproar as
each number was presented by artists.
each of whom enjoy the distinction of
first place in their special line of work.
During the performance Mr.. Field

compliment Mr.. II. D. Van Wyck, the
proprietor of the Academy, upon the
vast Improvement to the house and to
thank him in behalf on himself, his
company and the members of the pro-

Mr.. Van Wyck was called. for and in
a few we'll chosen remarks thanked Mr..
Field for his compliment, and took oc-
casion to say that the thing he was
