ENTERTAINMENTS.

"EIGHT IS MIGHT." With Mr. William Anderson completeness has always been the main thing, and the staging of the great American play now being acted at the Opera House is no exception. The mounting of "Eight is Slight" is on a lavish scale, the scene m the third act depicting the dividingfence at Black Snake E-anch being indeed a splendid piece of work. The company' is a strong one, and one and all are suited to the characters : for which they are cast. Mr. Walter, Dalgleish is deserving of a special word of. praise for a well-conceived and well-played character study. "Right is Might" will be played again to-night and to-morrow, and, on Wednesday night "The Eound Up" will be produced, and it is said that this is the best of the present company's productions.
