AMUSEMENTS.
cccocccccccocccccococcccc
By reason of the leniency of local theato
that heretofore time
managers , and the fact
have escapeti without serious lors , a custom
has become widely prevalent among play
goons of havIng seats haiti aside on the firs
day of the re'crvatIon , without making nut :
cash payment en their order , IJntloubtedl :
when they do this they fully intend to go t
tIme play and to pay for their tickets. A
the same time , they have not put tip an :
money , anti If ( lucy are detalnei , on the nigh
of tue entertaInment , by rain or any ethic
good anti sutilciont cause , they fuel quite a
liberty to Ignore their order or counterman' '
it , even at tIme eleventh hour ,
Sometimes thIs artless mactice work * ni
great imarmn at the box office ; at other ( line :
the operation of It Is nOt so smooth. Thi
experience of time Creighton maumagernen
wIth the advance sale for time ltehuan en
gagentent last veek , when soniethuing iIki
$200 worth ot seats wore laid asitle foi
jatrons belIeved to ho honorable and responsible
sponsible , and heft uncalled for in the drawel
In spite of a demand which would have takcu
them all up and mnore , has led to the adop
( ion at that houre of a rule regarding rer
ervations whichi will be strlcty antI irn
partially enforced in future , No seats whatever
over wIll ho neserved on the first day of an
sale without an accompanyIng cash pay
mont. On days following , before the tiati
of the entertainment , reservations will hi
made on credit and held for twenty-foui
hours only , after whelm time the reservation
unless backej up by cash , vlIl be as If I
wore not.
It Is hoped and believed that theater
goers generally wIll roe the reamonnblenes
of this regulation. To call at the box omci
wIth empty pockets , or to communicate one' ,
ulesines by telepliomme , and to order , in one'i
best manner , time holding out of a number o
time best seats available , Is so sImple a thini
that one is apt to overlook time theater'
side ot time transaction , and to forget , whet
one decides that it is too wet to go , that thti
tickets so magnificently ordered have beer
kept as thiroctod , and timat ahes elsowheni
may have been missed ,
This rule will be applied to the Joitti Drev
engagement , and to all others , so far as itl
enforcement may bi called for , at time Cr lglm
ton theater.

A three-night engagement of the actress
Rhea , has been arrammged at Boyd's corn

famous by tile chronicles of history. Verb
few comedies possess the fire and dramatIc
Intensity of Paul Keeter's dramatIzation oh
the well known story. In. the ( Iramatizatior ,
the story iias been followed closely. Notiiin
of Its original pathos and dramatic por'.si.
bully has been host in tue transition. Every
act ends In an artistic climax. In ( lie part
of time Orange girl , who afterward becomes
the great and powerful actremu , Mile. Rhea
Is said to have added to the laurels hme June
won on former occasions. She makes thc
part that of a lively , innocent gIrl , whose
one desire Is to become an actress. When
through time favr of the king this wiuh Is
gratmted , Nell Gwynne becomes the favorIte
of the imour , She uses her power to defeat
time schemes of a lord chief justice and
others of ( lie court , who visiu to ttirthier timeir

amid lie expects that the pocition of the coon
cii will be suatairted.
Another Imuhiortant matter was brought u
Tiul was Itt regard to tite sale of ( lie $326.00
renewal bonds to J. and W. Scligmnamt of Ne
York. Time attorney for the hiuncltmtsers hint
been in ( lie city for several days , anti an i
result of his investigations lie practicahi :
Informeti the council ( hunt his clients ver
not ready to accept the bnti under ( hi
tc.rtns of their bid. lie stated that in hI :
opinIon the city lund a right to Iui'aue tIm
bomttis , but it svag not proper thuat twi
0ts of bonds should be out at ( lie satne timi
on ( lie caine district. The city had issues
( ho renewal bonds to take up bonds tita
matured at various titnes titmring the preset :
year. According to his positluuu such boittlu
could only be is'siied after the bomids which
they were dnigneti to replace had been taker
tip. lint In this case the council had olt
thus entire Issue , although ( ho bulk of tin
olti bontis hind not yet been taken up. lh
ititlmnateti that lie vas wIlling 10 take tin
bonds , but that the nettuinrn agreid or
shiotilui bo reduced to sortie extent.
The entire matter was tlten referred tc
tiio finance committee to report at an ad.
joumned meeting to be lucId at. 2:30 : yesterday
aftertuoon ,
COMPROMISE ON PREMIUM.
At that time the committee uresented s
roprt In which it was renominentled tltat the
propoaltion matle by the represcuitatives 01
th Sehlgrnamms be necepted. This irropositior
was that ( lie Schigmans should iai the clt )
a premiurti of ,000 for the bonds ln'tcatl ol
$6,715.30 , as was offered In their origitial bid
That the whale amount of $326,400 In bomidu
siioimld be deposited with tite flrcah agenc3
of the city In New York. That as rapidly am
time oltl bends matured the purchasers of th
renewal bondo wore to deposit such a portion

to take up thue old bondsand ( iten receIve tin
renewal bonds for the niahmred districts frour
the fiscal agency anti that tito premium ci
$3,000 should be paid after old bonds amount
ing to $58,000 hmad ntaturel and been taker :
up.
up.TIme comitract embodying this propoaltloti
was presented amid approved by the council
Bnnkloy voting "no. " It was Inirutedlatehy
signed by Mayer flroatclr and tire othuor repro.

Time mombera of ( lie couuicih and other cIty
omclalo say ( lint the contract approved yesterday -
terday represents a very fair settlement of
time controversy. Thiey declare that while the
city receives a promniutu of $3,000 instead of
more titan $6,000 , the original bid , It Is no
hoser by the transaction. This Is explained
by the statement timat If the entire issue was
