The opening performance of the County Fair at the Whitney opera house, last sight, drew one of the largest houses of tne season, and its success was Deyond all expectation. When the announcement was made that the horse race, with three horses running at break-neck speed, would be introduced, it was generally received with incredulity, and everybody supposed that it would be only another attempt at realism, which the limited stage room would make a dismal failure. The audience was happily disappointed in this ease, and those who have witnessed the production of the nlav at the Park theater in Boston say the race, as present-ed here, last night, was equal to the Bos- ot tne piay, notning put praise is heard. The company is a strong one and the work, individually and collectively, is all that could be desired.
