"The Earl of Pawtucket."

Any form of theatrical attraction which can withstand the trials, tribulations and vicissitudes that beset production caicia- lated for an uninterrupted run in New York city. which can pass through a SUD- elementary season, as 1t were, with sum- mer weather, results quite as telling, from financial point considered, as could be reasonably expected during the period when all places of amusement are in op- eration. can be firmly relied upon as be- ing an exceptionally inviting one.
 "The Earl of Pawtucket," a comedy by Montgomery Theatre Monday night, Is justly entitled to such extraordinary con sideration, especially on account of :ts original triumph and at all three of the Broadway playhouses established new re- cords.
 Surely a comedy which can accomplish such a feat must possess something mofe than the usual clements of popular fa- vor. and, therefore, it Is perfectly safe to presume that its presentation here will be accorded the fullest possible patron age. It is not often that an American author. whose name has, heretofore, been identified with the most serious stage sue ceases, has been able to make his genius so emphatically felt in a humorous direc- ton; but this the writer of Arizona" Alabama" and other tremendous dra- matic hits has done in offering "The Earl of Pawtucket," a comedy of the purest and noblest type, one that is destined to live long enough to set an inspiring ex- ample for aspiring dramatists to emulate.

Vests Minstrels.

Next Friday night at the Montgomery theater the William H. West Minstrels will make their annual appearance in this city.
 Manager Ricaby has introduced a nov city into the Wm. H. West Minstrels in the shape of an operatic comedy. enti- tied "The Wizard of Boz" AS may be imagined, 1t is a burlesque on one of the popular operas of the day, and is said to be extremely funny as we'll as being filled with tuneful music and catchy airs. It Is elaborately staged with mag nihcent scenic effects and beautiful cos- tuning, and is proving one of the hits of the season. The West Minstrels an- nounce a great array of talent, and the new first part scenery and costumes are said to be particularly striking, the color scheme being far more beautiful than anything seen in that line in years.
 Sixteen great singers are with this or ganization, and great attention has been given to the orchestral and chorus ef- fleets. while the soloists will present the newest and best compositions of Ameri- ca's greatest song-writers.
