This Hohcnmin Girl was given a very satisfactory presentation yesterday at the mutince performance. Iturtlni , as Arlino , made her lir.st appearance in a loading roic , and saving tin occasional misuudor- Etandingwith the orchestra , went through the part creditably. Her acting is some what reserved , but shn is blessed with a bright exprussivo countenance and an extremely graceful presence. Her voice is fresh and agreeable and their pure and delicate timbre made her upper tones particularly pleas ing. MontegrilVo , as Thaddeus , made a decided imprcasion and astonished by the vehemence of his acting. Ho showed possibilities that he dooi not always see lit to display. Pruette , as Count Ain'hcim , hud n p : rt well calculated lo display his noble baritone , and as usual he was a prime favorite. Walter Alien made Dovilsliobf a funny sort of tramp rather than a ferocious diameter. Thu chorons was ono of the best feature of the per formance. r.u'ST. "I-atiat1 was given in a superb manner In the evening. The stage s-Htlnga woid line and thu performance smooth and linijshcd. Miss Aubott portrayed the innocence ami indecision of thu simple Marguerite most happily ; nud the acting of both Miss Abbott and Prnetto jn the tragic scone was of a high order.

Notwithstanding the strong counter attractions , tlio People's theatre last night was packed to the doors , hundreds being turned away , the attraction being the initial performance in this city of Heaeh it Mowers' relined minstrels. There was undoubtedly the best pleased audience that ever assembled at this place of ajnuscnicnt. The company made a de cided hit , every act being received with laughter and applause. The programme was now and original from the rise to the fall of the curtain , all the old , time-worn business being abandoned and replaced by pleasing innovations in minstrelsy , the specialties of Mr , Otis Howars , the dancing of Messrs. 15cnch and Freeman and the musical act of Messrs. Green and Wall being excellent. A line quartette and orchestra added much to the even ing's ' entertainment. The company pluy.s four more nights and will doubtless bo greeted by large houses.

There was an influx of Hastings people ple yesterday which does not oflen take place , although il is a well-known facl lhat the peopleof thai thriving little suburb like to come to Omaha to get pointers upon what is known as metropolitanism. Some of them were on business , aotnc on plea sure , one feature ot which was Abbott's collection of warblers , while others came accredited to tlio convocation of the grand chapter'of Royal Arch Masons of Nebraska. Among them were the fol lowing : A. L. Clarke , president of the Firsl National bank , and wife ; II. Rest- wick , president of the City National bank , and wife ; O. Oliver and wife ; E. C. Webster , president of the Gazette-Journal Publishing company ; U. F. Rawalt , royal arch captain ; li , Si. McEllunnev. Chas. Tanner , county at torney ; L. M. Campbell , J. J. Wemplc , C. F.

The most of these were domesticated at the Paxton , and a number of these lived , so to speak , in common , and enjoyed them selves as only good , intelligent , pious people can. Messrs. Royce and Wahl quist are two ot the most gentlemanly and promising journalists of the state , and it is needless to state that those qualifications proposed them to a professional and sesthctie appreciation of their Hying visit. nit * Bicycle JtcoordH. Springfield Republican : The content of 1880 lor the gold cyclometer offered to the bicycle rider in the United States covering the greatest number of miles by road riding between January 1 and De cember 1 closed yesterday. There lu've ' been hundreds of bicyclists , covering al most every state in the union , riding for Iho pri/.e , but it looks as lliough the Westlield contestants will win , for their scores are phenomenal. The gold cyclometer meter offered under like conditions hist year was carried off by Bank Clerk Good- now , captain of the \\ostlield wheelman's club , with a record of 5UGj ( miles. He had a scorn of outside but no homo com petitors. This season three local riders entered , and their aggregate scores fool up ! )4.2U ) < ) , By the terms of the contest the figures have to be certified to by two competent witnesses and affidavits made of their correctness before a magis- Iralo. Much 10 the other contestants' and the public's surprise , when the lists wore given in yesterday , Gilbert J. Loomis , a high school lad of fifteen , had a record of Kl.-IOS miles , made on a fifty- two inch machine. Ho began ruling jn Iho .snow and slush last January , and had nearly 1,000 miles to his credit before the riding scaion fairly opened. His longest rltlo in ono day was 1S3 miles , made dur ing Iho Kiimmor vacation , and his average per day for thu eleven months , including Sundays , was forty miles. Telephone Managur Norton covered HX ) miles in a single day , and a grand total of 10.70(5 ( miles , on a forty-eight inch machine. But perhaps the mo-t phenomenal work of the trio was accomplished by Eniei > on Burl , a bright little newsboy under fif teen years of ago. Ho had an anmteiir forty-two inch machine , and on it ho rode 10,003 miles outside of the hours he is em ployed in Connor's news room. Much of each rider's work has been done even ings , ami all within the limits of the county. It is probable Unit each ridei- has beaten the best previous records , as well as all outside contestants for the pri/o , but this will not bo determined until all lists are in , which may not be for a month ijr more. George Auyustiis Sala writes so small a hand that , at is said , not a single com- ixHitor'ti name appears on his list of friends.
