The Opera This Evening.—The the
ater sjoers of Columbus are looking for
ward with much pleasure to the presenta
tion of “The Little Tycoon,” ax Springer
Opera House this evening. Jn a flattering
notice of this delightful little opera, the
Scranton Tribune says: “The present*
tion of the tuneful and popular American
opera, ‘The Little Tycoon,’ at the Acad
emy of music last evening, under the per
sonal direction of the gifted author, Mr.
Willard Spenser, afforded a delicious mu
sical treat which was heartily enjoyed by
a large and discriminating audience. View
ing the presentation of the opera as a
whole, with its bewitching music under
skillful and intelligent direction, last
night’s performance deserves to be re
corded as a success. The well trained and
prettily cosinmed choruses, the pungent
sayings, the breezy atmosphere of the
ship’s deck with its panoramic back
ground. and the clean, sparkling element
of comedy which vivifies the entire opera,
combine to make a most complete produc
tion. Mr. Spenser has infused into his
harmonious work an emphatic American
ism that adds much to the pleasure of
oDera- goers who have been surfeited with
the metrical eulogy of other nations. The
second act was a beautiful piece of stage
setting, and the Japanese costumes were
simply gorgeous.
A STATEMENT OF FACTS ABOUT THE
OPERA HOUSE.
Editor Enquirer Sun: My attention
was drawn to an article in yesterday’s
issue signed “Progress,” the tone of which
savors of ignorance.
“Progress” says “hit ’em again; keep on
hittin’.” Now, while I have no objections
whatever to “Progress” bitting at Con-
ried’s Opera Company, to use his language,
I mean to exercise the kick coming to me.
“Progress” says strike home, and if there
by you are able to improve the general
character and tone of the entertainments
—operatic, melodramatic, or otherwise—
which are imposed on a long suffering
public under the name of first-class com
panies, especially those which visit Colum
bus. Now, for “Progress’ ” benefit, I will
state that the companies which visit this
city do not as a rule make the jump from
New York to Colun.bus and return, as
from experience I’m afraid it would not
pay. “Progress” speaks of appreciation.
A little less appreciation and more patron
age would go far to help the management
to induce better attractions to visit Colum
bus.
“Progress” reiterates what the Enqui
rer-Sun stated, that Wednesday even
ing’s performance was void of operatic
scenery, but he being ignorant of the facts
in the case endeavors to explain why.
From the advance agent’s statement,
backed by his own measurements, that
they could easily stage their scenery for
the performance, and having duties to per
form other than watching the stage, I was
greatly surprised to find, on opening the
house, that they had not complied with
their contract, and knowing the disap
pointment it would cause to cancel the en
gagement, I concluded to let the perform
ance go on. This house has always suc
ceeded in staging the necessary scenery for
the production el a first-class attraction,
i He also refers to Fantasma’s scenery as
being four times too large for the stage,
and that the actors were crowded from
their dressing rooms for such of the
scenery as was placed, and the basement
converted into a dressing room
for some. Now, for the enlighten
ment of “Progress,” I will state that
the dressing rooms are never placed on a
stage, and this house is no exception to the
rule. Having five first-class dressing rooms
on the first floor and four on the second,
with a spacious property room for the
storage of scenery, and having no base
ment, but a cellar, I am at a loss to know
how “ Progress” could justly, as he puts
it, make such a statement.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I beg to say
that the present opera house has never
had the pleasure of having “ standing room
only” od Its doors, and when the theater
going public of Columbus will warrant by
their patronage a larger house the present
proprietors will not be slow to supply the
public want. Would be pleased to have
“ Progress” call, and I will try and more
fnlly explain the workings of an opera
house. Yours respectfully,
C. P. Springer, Manager.
The City Election.—The annual city
election will occur today. Nine Aldermen

tion to the ticket nominated in the primary

and Williams and Mr. G. E. Gager will j
act as managers of the election.

And gaze awhile upon the bargains there.
If you do I’ll never regret It; and there Is one
time lhat 1 am fa rly ho.an for you to come, and
shat is lhe week beginning Dec. the 8th and last
ing 15 days. Yea, before Last 1 exhorted you not
to wail till the last day in the rnornin ; to come
and select your toys before the rush got to
rushiu’, and jet your Uncle Holloway put them
away tor you. But you wero suspicious .hen and
thought it just a business sea- me, and some of
you went so lar too far as lo tell me to my own
private face that “your money was just as good
r 8 anybody else’?, aud lhat you reckoned as bow
you would gut waited on, b. gosh.” Bless your
sanctlfireu hearts, you .idn’t seem to realize other
folks bad money too, and ■ hat i was nut as good
as yours All 1 c .uid do theu was to blush a deep
garnet all over and let you see for your sweet
seif. And you saw to your shay green and my
sonow. Both of us failed to get what we inutu-
aly ha kered after. When I saw you go out with
money in your pocket that you wanted to spend
with me, but couldn’t be. ause I was waiting on
some one else, whose money was as good as
yours, honestly I never was so shame in my life.
Last year you did a little better. You had learned
that all is not “hrass" that glitters in my wild,
restless eyes. You had learned that the truth
w 11 mixed with modern ion, jud eiousiy handled
and temperately indulged in, will sometimes an
swer f ,r common every day use as well as a false
hood. And lf,_el enco .rag d to say come once
more. You know why it’s to your advantage as
well as I do. You Know you cannot buy goods
with judgement and eclat in a rammed, jammed,
packed aud surging mass of humanity, all talk
ing and scrouging and buying and begging to be
waited on. Now if you have the honor to be one
of those pitiful, miserable specimens of inhu
manity who think that every man behind the
counter is a liar and a thief, who has planted
himself there With ids snares and his pitfalls for
the special purpose of : obbing your poor inno
cent saintly self out of your hard earned ni kels,
why, theu,of course I don’t expectyou to believe
a word I say. And if your neighbor were to tell
you that Holloway hao never yet been caught in
a falsehood about his Christmas Eve crowds, you
would think Holloway hired him to lie lor him.
As if Holloway wasn’t big enough to do his own
lying. To continue: Monday, the 8th, the ball
