lowers Tor a single week IN the nrty-
two which constitute the year.
Many improvements have been In con-
temptation for some time past, and even
by working every man It was possible
to place in the house, 1t was found i'm
practical to have 1t ready in time for
the opening on the 11th. AS consequence
1t was found necessary to cancel the
time of the attraction that was to have
opened the house on that date, and the
honor will fall to the lot Of the inter-
national comedians, Bailey and Austin,
in the sensationally successful musical
extravaganza, ''The Top o. the World"
