The play, if it can be so called, contains a number of comic situations in which the specialties of the company are introduced. It is a medley of burlesque, funny to those who like that kind of amusement, hut altogether too frothy lor three long acts.

Some parts of it are very coarse.and none of it very refined. The audience laughed, however, and as that was the effect, desired to be produced, the performance might be called success. FI ELDS' MISTSHELS TO-MOKKOW NIGHT. When AI. G.

Her appearance is said to have been very lifelike aud this led tho sisters to think that possibly she was in a trance.

Louis vote which every New Yorkercounted upon would even tually bring the fair to this city. As the balloting went on, however, and Chicago showed a strength not by any means attributed to it. Hie feeling changed and the enthusiasts became despondent. AVhen the news arrived that the attempt to take a recess had been defeated, it was generally conceded that New York was a dead bird in the pit. The newsol the eighth ballot confirmed this and the crowds around the bulletin boards and those who watched the tickers deserted these means of information with little attempt to conceal their disappointment.

CHICAGO HILARIOUS. Chicago, Feb. -The street scenes in Chicago this afternoon and evening told of enthusiasm unmistakable. The incidents were not unlike those familiar to everyone when a National Convention is on.
