Armory Opera House One night only, July, 21s'.. Mr. A 1 G. Feild has brought togethor for tho season the best aggregation of his pro fessional career, and tho entertainment g'ven by his minst'els at the Metropolitan last night received from tho lanm and en thusiastic audience a generous and deser ved recognition. The generous reception bestowed was not, in tho strict sense ol tho term, the result of home pride and for the reason that Mr. Field is a resident of Columbus, but because has gathered a combination of artists who fu'nish about all that is first-class in his lino, and they also havo the faculty and training which puts the performance on in an original manner without follow iug out any of tho beaten paths. Tho reception, however, was nothing morothan it should havo been, considering tho merit which Mr. Field has called together for what is bound to bo his most successltil season beforo tho amuso nnnt loving public. The parade which was given yesterday attracted about as much attension as an ordinary circus, and had a tendency to givo a forecast of what was to be expected at the Metropolitian last night. The arrangement of the pro gram was in good taste, and although no intermission occnred after tho certain rose, tho presentation of tho numbers was so varied that no one became tired. 'Of Mr. Field himself it is enough to state that he sustained the reputation ho has earned to its usual standard of excellence. Mr. Louis Steadman has a cultured baritone voice, and rendered his number with spirit and expression. Mr. Wall acquited him self in a manner to call out merited ap plause, and the samo may bo said of Mr. Will G. Mack Mr. Joo Lowes gave ono of tho host exhibitions of contortion ever seen in this city, and Messrs. Howe, Wa'l and McLcod gave a very entertaining mnsical number. The entertainment as a wholo furnished a novel and Jpleasing entertain ment, and is in many respects an agreeablo departure from modern minstrelsy.

Indeed it is the crown jewel of the seventeen artistic gems—the seventeeu numbers so far pub lished. This month the frontispiece is ft full page, half-tone, copper plate engrav ing of the Hon. M. H. De Young of San Francisco, third Vice President of the Worlds' Columbian Commisson. It con tains many leading articles of paramout importance to all those interested in the growth and development of the Exposition. We notice especially '-The Nation wishes It," setting forth very strongly that the Exposition is not only a national enter prize but should be dignified by substan tial National support. It leaves no ground for any belief other than that the Amer ican people so view this great enterprise. Thore are two very valuable and timelj articles entitled, " Sunday Opening vs. Closing," and ''Sunday Opening at the World's Fair.'' The latter is by Mrs. Frances E. Bagley of Michigan" Lady Manager-at-large and widow of the late Gov.Bagley. She has arrayed her argu ments in an interesting and convincing manner, and her article sheds considerable light on the satisfactory solution of this much mooted question. There is a sched ule of the "Official Traffic Arrangements for the Exposition," including tho rail roads and the trans oceanic steamship lines. This article is of great importance to intending exhibitors and \ isitors. very conspicuous among the artistic features are engravings, nearly all full page, of statuary for the adornment of the principal buildings. Thero are two excellent full page engravings of the Washington btate building and of the Maine State building, with many photographs of the Stato board managers of these two States. There is also a double page engraving of the Mines and Mining Building, the first of the irreat department buildings to be compht'd. Altogether, too much can not be said in praise of this admirable number. In a more pleasing and definite manuer, by means of it, than ever before can wo appreciate the great importance and tho educational influenco of tho Worlds Col umbian Exposition.
