It is an elab irate eff >rt, repre setiug Derby day la England, and is gotten up, the papers say, with bewildering gor ge msness. In it such old-time favorites a Wilson, John T. Keegan, Lew Benedict and Hi Tom Ward take part. The usual comic songs, ballads, etc., are introduced. Of a reemt performance in Brooklyn, N. Y., the Union has this to say: “The ‘Oolab, or Brigands in Clover,’ followed, and was an amusing burlesque. Las ard and Lucifer, the marvelous cjutortiomsts, performed diffi cult feats and “Our Society Pastimes,” which came next, gave an opportunity to the dancers in the troupe. George W tlson gave a sample of Wilsonian humor, after which Howe and Wall afforded a good deal of amusement in their musical act. Ram sey and Arno were entertaining in their sayings and doings, and the entertainment ended with a plantation sketch by Hi Tom Ward aud Fulton Brothers, which was pro vocative of much laughter.” Four Nights o! Opera. Manager Johnson has secured the Mac Co llin Opera Company for live performances this week. This company will begin its en gagement Wednesday night, presenting Chassaignes, charming opera “Falka, or the brigands.” This opera had an exceptional long run in New York and Philadelphia, and made a success second only to “Er minie.” It overflows with beautiful airs catchy choruses, aud is full of rollicking fun. It is one of the best opera in Mac Co llin’s repertoire. The company presenting it is better than any that MacColliu has ever brought south. Thursday night th<# ever popular “Mascntte” will be sung, and on Friday night “The Beggar Student.” Sat urday night “Tho Bohemian Girl” will be sung, and at the matinee "The Musketeers.” All of the old favorites—Miss Fannie Hall, Miss Laurens, Miss Broche, Mr. Mac Collin, Mr. Apple, and Mr. E. P. Smith—are still members of the company. The doors wili open at 9 o’clock each night, in order to give visitors ample time to witness tue festivities. Seats are now on sale at Butler’s.
