ly different opera from that with
which most theatergoers are familiar,
and according to newspaper writer's
elsewhere, while at first the introduce
ton of an acrobatic troupe, horses,
geese, chickens, pigs, dogs, etc, seems
incongruous, they are found to blend
perfectly in the several scenes. An
other innovation is the ballet which ic
conceded to be a, decided improve
ment. The dancers are employed in
the marble halls scene, where instead
of the minuet, as in the old version,
THE Dance of the Hours has been
substituted and has been approved
wherever seen. The date of "The Bo-
hemian Girl'' engagement at the
Grand is Monday night.

seemed to think the occasion fitting
one for big demonstration. and they
made It They fred salutes and rang
bells. Their bands played. and their
cannon roared. They drank toasts, and
they made speeches. Poets wrote odes
and prose people eulogies. Altogether
the wonder is how so sane man as
Washington could have looked upon
1t all and kept his composure.
The earliest public recognition of
Washington's birthday. according to
one Of our authorities. was in 1881. In
that year the Count de Rochambeau
wrote to Washington from Newport
that they were going to have party
In his honor and that they would Gel
ebrate the day with the sole regret
that your excellency will not be wit
ness Of the effusion and gladness of
our hearts," And. by the way. the day
then recognized was Feb. II. accord

his birthday the next year. and there
was still greater turmoil of cannon,
