The company here last night lacks In every way the endorsement given | it through press notices which were [ forwarded here for advance notices. Tho management of the New Theater should not be censured for the priccj charged because they do not fx the prlco of tickets. This in always done by the advance representative of each stow. In an interview this morning one of tlie manager? of the theater stated that I no one regretted more than they that the Bhcw did not come up to expectations and that it Is their purpose to never book a show unless they feel sure it will be an attraction of merit. J*1686 bookings are of course made months in advance anl the theater never has any voice in the fixing of prices. REPAIRING RESIDENCE.
