... TI1E WOODLANDS HALL STUD. Oub engraving, illustrative of what we believe is theNorthern- most breeding stud in England, contains portraits of its sultans, as represented by Macgregor, Olaremont, and Argyle, all horses of some oharacter on the turf. We shall not readily forget Johnny Daley's coming with Macgregor out of the Abing don Mile bottom, on the Two Thousand Guineas day, when he made ...

... . We give pictures from this show, of which we gave par ticulars in our last. There was scarcely a class in which a worthy subject for illustration might not have been found. Our artist has been compelled to restrict himself to the following 1. Mr. W. J. Crip's Italian greyhound, Fly II. 2. Miss Violet Cameron's King Charles spaniel, Conrad; 3. Mrs. E. M. Monck's Yorkshire terrier, Silk 4. Dr. ...

... . IT is not very probable that Mr. Carton, in occupying the Folly Theatre during the absence of Mr. Toole, really expected to succeed in an undertaking which that well known and popu lar lessee had proved himself unwilling to attempt. Mr. Carton, that is to say, did not open the Folly for the month of August with money-making as his chief object. He was most likely anxious, and that most ...

... . A THREE-ACT opera, entitled All in the Downs; or, Black-eyed Susan, was produced, on Saturday last, at the Gaiety Theatre, for the benefit of Mr. Meyer Lutz, who has composed the music to a libretto partly consisting of scenes from Douglas Jerrold's celebrated play, and partly of lyrics written by the dramatist's son, Mr. T. Jerrold. It will be needless to describe the familiar plot, and it ...

... . THOSE certainly are happiest who expect least when Shake speare is put on as a stop-gap at one of our London theatres, especially when the company happens to be a scratch one, and the opportunities for rehearsal together have been neces sarily limited. Not much could fairly have been hoped for from Mrs. Scott-Siddons's hurried production of As You Like It. The fates had been against the ...

... . MISS HELEN BARRY, who has made steady progress since she played Arkwright's Wife a few years back, has now commenced an engagement of a couple of months at the Imperial Theatre. She appears both morning and afternoon. The piece given in the morning is Mr. Boucicault's adaptation from the French, Led Astray, in which Miss Barry again plays tho Countess Armande Chandoce, the character which ...

... . Miss Waixis, whose season at the Olympic Theatre comes to an end this week, presented herself last Saturday as Juliet, a character which every young actress of ambition is bound to attempt at one time or another without much regard to the probability of her sucoess. Miss Wallis is not specially well suited to the part, since her manner is altogether too staid for the natural exposition of ...

... MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S OPERA. R Rinnegato (The Renegade), a grand opera in three acts, was produced on Saturday last at Her Majesty's Theatre. The name of the composer, the Baron Bodog Orczy, is not unfa miliar to English amateurs; the overture to his opera having been heard at a Crystal Palace Concert, and the ballet music from the same work having been performed at one of the con certs given ...

... . ON occasions like the present, when, as the newspapers say, the city is shrouded in white, and when it is impossible for love or money to get a conveyance to or from a theatre-- fancy, by the way, trying to get a cab for love! that is the worst of stereotyped phrases --when only a few of the houses have the daring to go on with the evening's entertainment, some having never attempted to ...

... . IN one sense, of course, the comedy founded by the late T. W. Robertson upon Augier's L' Aventurière is quite worth revival. Its story is fairly interesting, and most of its characters are effective enough upon the stage. Moreover, the dialogue written by the English playwright for Home is bright and pointed after his usual manner. And yet at the St. James's the piece some how fails to make ...

... . THE Savoy Theatre, recently built by Mr. D'Oyly Carte on the Thames Embankment, was opened on Monday last, in pre sence of a large audience, among whom were many distinguished representatives of art and literature. The building does credit to the ability of the architect, Mr. Phipps, who has succeeded in erecting a theatre which is not only one of the most elegant but most comfortable and ...

... . The Forty Thieves which has not even yet reached the end of its career at the Gaiety, is now preceded by a new comedietta written by Mr. Charles Eawoett, a member of the company and Mr. Eawcett naturally plays a chief part in it himself. This part he has not made very attractive, or, indeed, very natural. There are plenty of young men who get their heads turned by a sudden accession to ...
