AMUSEMENTS.

OPERA HOUSE. The change of programme at the Opera Hbuse by fuller's Vaudeville Company last night was presented to a very large audience, which was thoroughly well pleased with the varied fare provided. The Philmers, who were among the newcomers, proved a very agile and clever pair on the tight wire. Their feats were warmly applauded. especially the see-saw in which the male performer, after bouncing his partner into the air, was in turn bounced upwards and landed on the wire. Arthur Croxon. who also made his first appearance, sang humorous songs in character very effectively, and gave some highly amusing imitations. In character he sang "Something to Practice On" and ''Goosey, Goosey, Gander," and in both succeeded in hitting the popular taste. Baron, a ventriloquist met with a good reception, and the antics and quaint sayings of his lay figure —"a mimbcr of the force" —kept the audience well amused. The Tutties, after a lengthy absence, were welcomed back, and gave humorous songs and jokes very entertainingly. Miss Jeannette Spellman submitted several new numbers, and was highly successful in her imitation Honolulu song. Taylor and McQuoin gave some new songs, which were greatly appreciated. The Molinaris —Kitty and Antonio — again pleased with their ballads and operatic selections, and Tilton and West did some good comedy work. Tonight the same programme will be repeated.
