Three performances of "Tho Silver King" have been given at tlio (.intnd Opera House, and each has been a .success.

Mr. Tiiohy as AVilfred Denver, tub man on whom the crime is lixed, acquits himself admirably, while a good impression is made by Mr. Kdward Kenna as tho "Spider." The other members of the company all contribute towards tho success of. 'the entertainment. "Tho Silver King" will be repeated for three moro nights. HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Entertaining ami bright describes the programme submitted at His Majesty's Theatro this week. Thero are several new arrivals, the principal ones being Tim and Gertie- Moore, a pair of dusky entertainers of ability.

A reappearance is made by the Cavanna Duo, tho slack wire-walker and the dancing harpist, and they receive their share of applause. Dora Oberman contributes a number of delightful songs towards the evening's entertainment, and scvornl other good artists also contribute items.
