When it was first brought out in New York, a year ago, it was recognized as a production of a high order of merit. The verdict of the New York press, so singularly unani mous, has been endorsed by the critics of our own city, and by tbbso of every other prominent city where the piece has been play, ed. * Skating Rink. ; Will be open every morning at 1:310 a.. m. except Saturday.
