[ Boyd'a Opera House Splendidly Dodicatod. The Theatre Packed Prom Par quet to Gallery. Kosponao by Mayor Boyd to a Formal Address , Far Toaiploton md Troape Maka * Bit Hit. The event BO long and BO eagerly nntieipntod by the citizens of Omaha , the opening of Boyd'a opera house , was celebrated last night in a manner which must liavo gratified the pcoprio tor.ns much as it delighted the vast audience which lionnrcd tlio occasion with tiibir prononco. i The energy of the architect , the ttct nnd'skill of his subordinates , willing labor'of the workmen , the system with which" all worked for a 'common ' end , rcsuflcdln the complo ; tion _ ol * the noble Tatructuro , in all its details , so far * as was requisite for occupancy as a theater last evening before the hour arrived for the reception oft the pub * lie. The lamps woroAlighted Mid the building thrown open about half-past seven o'clock and it was not'long be fore the crowd began to'mo vo to ward its broad entrance and throng the marble steps loading to the now tern plo of Theipis. Every seat in-tho house had been sold and the rush for th'o gallery was not IOHS eager than was that forwent * on the morning o ( the first opening of the box office. r A crowd gathered upon the , corner near the Wabash ticket ofllce and an other on the sidewalk in frontjof the opera house , botrT gazing intently''to ' catch what glimpses were possible of the magnificent interior , now lighted by the soft glow of hundreds of gas jots , and view the brilliant throng steadily pouring in from the carriages , hacks and cars stopping every moment before- the idoor. As thor throng entered the . 'auditorium ' and 'saw for the first time the work , of , the archi tect , ) the artist and the artisan , ex- pressiona of admiration were hoard on every hand find the hum of-Conversa tion for once upon a common theme filled the room , now redolent with the perfume of flowers and of the toilet. The endless array of faces , the elegantdresses , the dancingplumos , the air of anxious expectancy visible everywhere , made the sight an inspir ing one. , At 8:15 : the drop curtain was lowered , its beauty eliciting a burst of applause , jit failed to come quite down to the floor nnd the audience caught a glimpse of the pedal ex tremities of the actors as they ar ranged themselves for the opening scene , Blue and red hosiery was away above par nnd-when a pair of nimble feet began to dance , the good humor of the out siders increased wonderfully , but the curtain fell , and thw interesting by-play ended. An instant later charge of electricity , was sent ever the invisible wire which connects the footlights and an hundred tongues of light burst forth while another charge lit it with the rapidity of light ning the magnificent chandelier with its dazzling pendants , and a flood of silvery splendor illumined the whole room as if a torrent of sunlight had been suddenly admitted and 'nt this the applauso'kuow no bounds. " I The boll rang and the curtain wont up in the first not of "Tho Miiscotto. " However unpleasant it may bo to break the thread of a story , it is ap propriate hero to lese sight of the brilliant scene upon the stage for a few moments and pass to the interim ootween the first and second acts. When the music of the orchestra had council , Gen. Mandorson , who with Hon. Ezra Millard and a party oft ladies and gentlemen'- - , cupiod the lower left hand box , ' aijrj vancod to the full view of tho" " audi ence and made the folio wing tender of acknowledgement , on1 behalf of the citizens , , to Mr. Boydj - ' * " / UBNERAL MANDKIWON. LADIK AND GBNTI MKN : I have boon requested by jnany citizens to say a few words expressing bur ap- of the event that has Ereciation rought , us to this beautiful place. \Vo who , reside in Omaha , this .thriv ing city of ours , feel frequently called upon to bewail oud bemoan our dis comforts and our wants. Smart ing one1 day from the blindjng duat ' that fills our eyes , the next day wo swear perhaps at the thick mud which , roils over us and wo cry nloud for pave ments , sewerage , water works and better hotel accommodations [ Ap plause ] and numerous other things. But do you know , paradoxical , as it may seem , there is n great deal of comfort in those very discomforts , the ono being , moans supplying the need , and supplying the need means happi ness created that can only bo meas ured by the extent of our former misery. Our gratification in this beautiful struoturo to-night is immeasurably in creased by the keen sense wo have of past deprivation. ( Applause. ) These wants load us to know that there are in our midst men endowed with the enterprise , the nerve , the public spir it , to satisfy those needs , We'appro ' - date such men as these and the pro jector and builder of this magniqcont structure , the may or of Omaha , James E. Boyd. ( Loud Applause. ) To-night moans a nowd oparturo for Omaha. It means that Omaha now begins to bo a metropolis , for , looking down the future , I BOO that this edifice is to boar a most important part in this city's history. The thousands who will gather gather hero to feast thor ) eyes upon its beauties and see the yory best talent of the dramatic and operatic stage , will take into their lives a culture , refinement and cultiva tion that grows from sooingand hearing the boat tnat bo seen and heard. The fresh beauty of this place should bo marred by nothing , common-place or vulgar , nnd I feel nsanrod that it never will bo under the present ofli ciont management [ Applause , ] I move , Indies and gentlemen , that , ns expressive of the feeling of this audience , wo adopt this resolution ; At thin opening night at Hoyd'n opera house , wo who are assem bled to enjoy its fresh beauties dcsiro to express our appreciation of the enterprise that has made our high enjoyment possible , Hosolvcd , That this complete build ing , resting secure upon its nolid foundation , wth | its thorough protec tion from danger by fire , its ample means of ingress and egress , its special stage conveniences , its artistic decorations , its luxurious comfort for ita patrons and its perfection in every detail , supplies a long-felt want of Omaha. We , in common with the people of this communty , most heart- 'ly. appreciate the generous enter prise of our fellow-townsman , the Hon. Jmnes E. Boyd , nnd congratulate him upon the great success attending the opening of this beautiful tompln of the Muses. [ Applause. ] In seconding this motion Hon. Ezra Millard spoke us follows : HOir , EZRA MILLARD. LADIES AND QKNTLKMBN : In seconding ending till * resolution I wish also to endorse all the good thini s Gen. Man dorson has said about Itfr. Boyd. Kccignizing'that the fates had decreed that hero Could bo one of the most important cities of our country , in the battles for the advancement of Omaha he has been a ready helper , a wise counsellor , and many times n able leader. While some of his comrades have journeyed through the dark valley , while others are becoming somewhat disabled , probably a tnflo old , ho , on the con trary , remains a young man in body and in mind , with n reserve power to do great things for the city of his choice , and the great need of Omaha at this time is hclptul men , men of sagacity , men of enterprise , and men of nerve such as ho is has proved i himself to bo. Wo should see a different state of things if this were the caso. For ono thing the mu'd in which wo were wont to revel would bo made to disappear from o r viow. I think wo could make our streets so attractive , and our trade would so increase that this metropolis of the west would become a secqnd , Chicago. Wo are , .fortunate in * having such a' citizen as Jnmca E/Boyd. I would say as Jo6 Jefferson said. "May he live long and prosper. " [ Applause. ] It is not only gratifying , it i an1 earnest pleasure to us all that this re cent venture of Mr. Boyd'a supplies a long felt want and is an as sured financl.il success and one of the best ' investments in tliia ( stao. Ladies and gentlemen , this pleasant taskuf mine is now done ; it lacks only this that is , the manner and the voice of this audience , which will bo more unanimous than the voice which chose him for mayor. [ Ap plause. ] ' There were loud calls from all sides of the house for Mr. Boyd , as soon ns Mr. Millard ceaaed speaking nd that gentleman camo' upon the stage from his private box on the right and when the applause which greeted him had subsided said : , HON. JAMES K. BOYD. General Mandorson , Mr. Millard , and Ladies and Gentleman : After thanking you and returning acknowl edgments for your cordial and flatter ing expressions it would be far easier for me to say no more. I feel , however- that something more is duo infreturn for the many complimen tary words said of mo. I , myself ) at tribute them to the long and warm friendship of the gentlemen who have just spoken , and add that I am not presumptuous enough to think I deserve them , still I might under the circumstances feel a par donable pride that my name will be perpetuated long after many of us , myself included , have passed away. To mo there is a far greater pleasure in the thought that the people of Omaha have , not only on this occa sion , but on former occasions , mani fested their appreciation in building a that out-numbera in city to-day - any Iowa , Kansas or Nebraska. [ Ap plause. ) The need of a commodious theatre has long been felt , and many attempts were made to supply such a want. At last ] the duty devolved upon mo. Tho'result is what you see to-night , a theatre tha for line of sight and no- coustic properties has no superior , and for which I am largely indebted to Mr. J. B. MoElfatrick , whom I con sider the boat theatrical architect in America. Ladien and gentlemen : I know you did , not come hero to listen to me this evening , but Shakespeare says , 'All the world's a stage and the people merely players. ' My part of the per formance has been the creation of the building : In its construction all the skill of the artisan and mechanic have boon utilized to unite the pleasant and the ngrooablo with * ho useful and substantial. How well I have per formed my part it is'not for mo to tay. It is for you and the public to decide [ Loud Applause. ] " A MALICIOUS REPORT. Mr. Boyd returned for a moment to the stage and said : Ladies and gontjemon : I did not expect to appear a second end time , but I wish to say this ; Some malicious and evil dis posed persons have circulated a report that this building is unsafo. At the the solicitation of some of my friends I desire to show you how it is con- structed. It rests on solid walls twenty-two feet apart , with iron col umns , and it would bear ten times the weight it now has upon it. [ Applause. ] I have known of those reports for weeks , but thought it nsojess to deny it and should not have done BO had not some of my warmest friends so licited mo to do it. [ Applause. THK MASCOTTH. Without giving the plot of Audran's great comic opera , which is quite too complicated to bo easily condensed , it may bo said that a "Mascot" is "tho blessing of heaven , " supposed according to the legend , to bo bestowed upon those who enjoy the possession or companionship of ono of the race. In order to on joy to the full the blessings "Tho Mas- cotto" ia to confer upon her masters , it is learned , that she must never marry and that when the orange blos soms are taken from her bosom or the bridal kiss from horhps , she will cease to bo a Mascot. Accordingly the efforts of the principal characters in the play are all directed towards preserving Bottino's stnto of single blcBsodncss , and this gives rise to an infinite number of comical sit uations , nnd these , with the delicious music , make it ono of the most charm ing comic operas over written. The stage settings wore , of course , perfect , and the costumes were clo- gant and unusually gorgeous. The company , which is far above the average - ago , in merit WAS assisted by some of our beat local talent in the choruses , and from the first took a hold upon the favor of the audience , which increased with every act to the close. It was in fact evi dent that no bolter choice could have been made for this opening night , had the whole galaxy of theatrical nnd operatic combinations been to choose from , than Fay Temploton nnd her brilliant company , though "Tho Mas cotto" alone- would Imvo captivated the audience. A more bewitching little prima donna never appeared be fore the footlights nnd whether she wore the coarse peasant costum6 of Bdttina , the magnificent dress of the Countess of Panada , or the uniform of the soldier in jnnco Frederics army , she was always the same bright little beauty , each change seeming to add to her favor with the house. Seth M. Crane , ns Pippo , supported Miss Tomplcton admirably. His face is an ideal one , his form perfection and | the "Gobble" duct between himself and "Tho "Moscotte" won the audience' com pletely over to these two. The very fact that such idiotic words and sentiment can bo sot o such music and sung with such sweetness as to reach sublimity , demonstrates that the ago of miracles is not passed away. Not a whit less important to the success of the play was John Temple- ' ton , in the role of Prince Lorenzo XVII. Ho was dreated for that character - actor or the character for him. His fun is umitable , his personation of an imbecile , dissolute old royal reprobate is beyond criticism. People laughed themselves sick ever him and will do so again to-night and as often as they see him in future. Josef Handeli as Prince Frodcrio , ! sustained his part well and , as .well aa Mr. Templeton , disclosed the posses sion of n splendid voice. Alice Vane , as Famiotta , wasi as pleasing as she ywas graceful arid pretty , showing to the best advantage in the last act , when she returns dis guised as a gypsoy. Alice Coleman , the pot of the pages , in her celebrated cornet solo won a deservedly hearty encore. A cornet band composed of such musicians would lead an army "into the jaws of death" anytime. Lady Leo , the little drummer boy , won much admiration from the la dies. , It would not be amiss to mention each of the Artists who make up this company , for there is not a poor player among them all , but space for bids such an indulgence , however pleasant it would bo. The music , conducted by Goo. Edw. Jackson , assisted , by F. Oline , and Prof. Stemhauser's orchestra , was ex quisite and was a feature of the even ing in itself. The company appears for the last time this evening , in the same play , and doubtless will bo greeted by as big a house as they had last night. FROM THE OALLKRY. While the splendid seating arrange ment iii the parquet , dress circle and first gallery of the opera house gave an uninterrupted view of a largo part of the fashionable audience , it was from the "gallery of the gods , " alone | that the most perfect prospect could bo obtained. The glittering chan delier , with its thousands of flashing crystals ; the rich canopy of the boxes and stage ; the full effect of the lights as they to ere dexteriously ( Handled , and especially the beautiful toilets of the ladies in the parquet and dress circle , made a scene never before wit nessed in Omaha , and which rivalled the most fashionable gatherings in the great cities. If distance lend enchaut- inent to the view , the enchantment last evening was most complete , and oven the uproarious gamin forgot his "stamp" as ho gazed , open-mouthed , at the rich beauty of the scene. As the topmost seat in the topmost pal- lory is tho'point from which to judge of the acoustic properties of an opera house , a reporter of THE BEE made the test , and found that the faintest whisper on the stage was distinctly audible. BOUQUETS. At the conclusion of a duet by the sparkling , beautiful Fay and Both M. Crane , the floral tributes were pro fuse , especially noticeable among which were an elegantly arranged horseshoe and a handsome basket of flowers. Both contained the choicest of conservatory , gems. The basket had a card attached , which bore on on side the unique inscription , "Cul prit Fay ; four of a kind boat a full house , " and on the other the names of T. H. Richards , W. E. Barnes , Joe Wright and Jack Kendricks , who were underneath described as "Tour ists and Interviewers. " The floral horseshoe was presented by Manager Craig , of the St. Joseph opera house , Mr. Craig is a very pleasant gentleman and as a theatrical manager has few equals. A HOUVENin. To each lady who attended was presented at the door a beautiful program , printed on wide grosgrained silk and folding , with raised , gilt-edged , card-bound covers. The monogram , "J. E. B. " appeared on ono cover and "Compli ments of Mr. James B. Boyd , Mon day , October 24th , 1881. Opening night of Boyds Opera House , Omaha , on the other , The , list of officers of the opera house and a caste of the company were printed on the silk , in side.

Mrs. Nellie Burke Interviewed Regarding Her Troubles. She is Tired of Newspaper Talk on the Subject , And Say * Homo Bovero Thing * About Her Htubaad. Mrs. Nellie Burko. the well-known equestrienne , arrived in this city Sun day from Atchison , Ki , lisas. She found herself the subject of a lengthy statement from her husband , 0. E. Burke , published in nn evening paper , and she bccamo extremely indignant that tjuch nn article , which she charac terises ns a "base falsehood , " should have boon published on the eve of the law suit in which she is interested , and her husband a plaintiff , to obtain a share of the money she won at the recent state fair races. To a reporter of THE BEE she made her affairs nnd Burko'a connection with thorn the subject of a lengthy conversation. During this talk nho denied the existence of any "infatua tion ' for the manager of her business , Marv. Boardsloy , which .Burko charg ed , and said , very positively that the former was interested in her matters in n business sense alone , and that bo- cauao ho was the only competent man she know. She then went on to further say : "On my return to this city this morning from Atchison , Kansas , I found in an evening paper over a col umn of stuff headed , ' 'The Burke Trouble , " in which Mr. E. O. Burke states that ho is a.much injured man. Mr. Burke's trouble dates from the time when ho was braking on a freight train from Denver to Cheyenne and not , aslie states , while ho was running a train. Now I am heartily sick of this newspaper talk , but.I wish to say a few words in answer to the above mentioned article and then I am done. A year ago last AugustMr. Burke WAS DlfJUHAnOED ffrom the employ of the' U. P. He was then out of a job and about thin time I made arrangements to * ride a race at Dos Moincs , Iowa , and' on the 10th of September I did BO , winning thereby $500. Mr. B. was with tno and I paid his expenses during the trip out of my winnings , I then re turned to Omaha. ) , Ho stayed around Omaha for over a month and did noth ing to earn a dollar to help support myself and son. I then wont to keep ing boarders and thus supported him. Ho made a trip to Wisconsin , came back and wont to Georgia. When ho returned from the latter place he re mained four or five weeks , when { ho made up his mind to go to Denver , and as usual called on mo for monoy. I gave him $50 , which I had to bor row. He took it and left , not even bidding mo jjopd-bye. Alter ho hod been gone about five or six weeks he wrote me a letter , tolling mo if I couldnot make living I COULD STARVE , for all ho cared , that he never wanted to see mo again , , and that if he found out that I contemplated coming out where he was , that he would throw up his job and go to Mexico. I have the letter yet. About this time 1 made arrangements with Mr. Jacobs to ride at Lincoln. I rode three races there , winning them all. Mr. Jacobs and I then made a contract .whereby I'was to ride for him during the re mainder of the season and soon after the meeting at Lincoln I , at Mr. Jacob's suggestion , went to Denver and Leadvillo , Col. , to make a match with Miss Pinneo. Mr. Burke mot me at Cheyenne and made the trip with me. Ho says it was a very ex pensive trip for him , but that I prom ised to pay him $10 back for every ono he paid out Ho knows ' HE LIES when he says this , as when I started from Lincoln I had passes to and from Denver , a dratt payable at Omaha for $25 , ono payable at Denver for $30 which ho got cashed himself , and also about $20 in money. I was gone about liine days and on my return to Omaha Mr. Jacobs had to let mo have some more money. Now , I leave it to any ono to. judge whether he paid my bills or I paid his. I don i think it would cost mo $75 in nine days for board only. Ho mador the trip with mo at his own suggestion , not at mino. Does it look reasonable that when I had money in my pocket and could got any amount that I might draw for that I shou d pay him ten dollars for ono. He says the race between Miss Pinneo and myself was arranged while wo were in Colorado , which is not true , as it was ARRANGED IK THIS CITY by Messrs. Pinneo and Jacobs after my return. , The understanding was that Minnie was to lido at Council bluffs against mo and she worked horses almost every morning before the race came , but on the day of the race played sick on all but Mr. Jacobs and myself. Pinneo said if I would agree to allow his daughter to win , she should ride , and that wo all could win a bundle of money from the Omaha people. It did not take mo long to toll him that when I put up a job to IEAT MY FRIENDS in Omaha I hoped I might never bo able to riuo another horse. You all know his other daughter Mrs , Knowlton rode and I beat her. About this time Mr. Burke became jealous of Mr. Boardsloy , and there was no end of trouble. The under standing with Mr. Jacobs at the time wo made our contract was that Mr. Bcardaley should assist in catching horses , which ho did for a time , and I never , while ho was helping mo , had a horse go by him , which is something no other equistrionno can say of her "catcher. " WHU.V I BODE at Omaha Mr. Burke served un injunction on my manaser to got possession of what money I had com ing to mo. I am here to attend to the suit now. After leaving hero I rode a race at Cedar Rapids and started for Omaha to arrange with my attorneys , Messrs. Mandorson & Congdon , in regard to the injunction writ , and also to commence proceedings for a divorce This is the time at which I was accused of trying to elono with Mr. Beardsloy 'Mr. Burke had told mo if I did not give him money ho would RUIN MY REPUTATION so that I ceuld not ride on any track in the United States , unless I bought ono of my own , nnd I bcliovo ho has done nil in his power to do so. I rode two races nt Atchison , KB. , after leaving Jacobs nt Cedar Rapids , and won ooth of them. Ono was against the time inado by Miss Gurtiss and Miss Wil liams. I beat them both , and I ven ture to ssy no olhor lady ever rodoaa bad n stable of horses as I did that day. I was managing my own affairs , and was not only successful but was nicely treated by the people ot Atchi son , who tried to get mo to promise to return next season. I boat Miss Gur tiss a mile in six , WHEN RHE QUIT and refused to ndo. Now a word in regard to Mr. Pinneo and I am done. In the first part of my acquaintance with thorn , I heard not a word that would lead mo to think that Mr. Pinneo did not think very well of mo , but when they could not got mete to agree to bo beaten at Council Bluffs and this place , whereby they would bo able to win a lot of money at the expense of my friends , they tunicd against mo and knowing they could not possibly beat mo on the square , COMMENCEb SLANDERING mo , and Pinneo said ho would not allow his daughter to ride against me , that my reputation was bad and almost everything ho could think of. Ho was seconded by Mr. 0. E. Burko. I offered to ride with any lady in the United States for monoy. No ono would accept my challenge. Pinneo was ashamed to say how many miles ho wanted in ten or twenty. Cook would ride if I would give odds enough. Williams wanted four miles in twenty. I offered Archer ono mile in ten. I gave Curjias ono mile in ton and made up my mile at the end of my six miles , when she quit. I offered to 'RIDE CHICKETT HTILL , of Kansas , who is under Mr. Jacob's management , and had the same stable of horses which I had ridden in the races I previously won , and which Mr. Jacobs chums won my races , for $250 or 9500 a side in this oity , winner to take two-thirds of the gate money and to pay two-thirds of the expenses' . Jacobs tbld me he would make , .the match and agreed to meet me themorning of the 21st and name the day. ' Ho failed to know for certain in the morning but promised to lot me know after dinner , and be fore the train started , as I was expect ing to'leayo that afternoon. He did not come , BO I left without making the race. Ho saia he expected to split with Cricket Still's father as he could not get along with him. Mr. Burke says Pinneo HIRED A HAN to watch me at St. Louis. All the' newspaper talk at St. Louis was done by Burke and Pinneo , but after all the talk Mr. Eckers , whom Burke claims barred me from the track , offered to f urnisli mo with his stable of , horses to.ride in.a raceif I coulcLijot a match. If Mr Burke had acted diflerently'I ' should have been able by this time to.have paid off { some $500 or $000 of debts for him and had some thing left. But , as it is , if I don't get what he is TRV1NO TO BEAT ME out of , I shall probaby have to , go to work again. But I am willing to work before I will bo dependent on others. I don't want to ride any more twenty mho races , as there is no money in them. I can certainly gain no repu tation thereby.
