Id It appeared the won* derful dancer, Slgnor Vlttorlo de Vlncenttl. who recently was the hit of the "Excelsior' ballet nt the Lyceum. He was assisted by Mil*. Morlno, who appeared tor the first time In Knglnnd. Their difficult dances aroused the audience to much enthusiasm, especially the pirouettes of Vlncenttl. Mrs. Hcrnard Bcere recited "The Portrait" and "Little Ilreecbes." She was favorably re- ceived. Number seven was Madge Lea- sing, who appeared In a new Highland military scena, entitled "Hear the Pi- pers Calllnc, Jenny, Mine." The sceoo Is on the order of the "Good Bye, Little Qlrl, (Juod Rye" number, which was such a bit at l he opening of the bouse. Soldiers In Scot- tish garb nre brought Into play during the action of the song. Miss Leasing looked very charming In kilts. Her second number was a revival of the popular scena, "Robs Anna," and It went as well as when flrat put on at the Coliseum. Miss Leasing Is cer- tainly a fixture at this bouse, and when she leaves her p'ace will not be an easy one to (III. Next we had the laughing hit of the whole show. It was the act done by tbc merry monopedes, Conway and Leland. They had the audience on the move all the time with tbelr comedy, which Is tbe real thing. I have been told that their reception la the same at every performance. One night Con- wav was hnlr way to his dressing room when be 'had to return to take anotber bow, which wns the fifth. Alice Esty, supported by tbe Coliseum auditorium cbolr, stage chorus and the big orchestra. In the church scene from "Cnvallerla Itustlcana," preceded Seelcy and West, who lately returned from tbe States. The comedians and musicians amused the audience as they ouly can do. The closing number wns an excerpt from the opera buiffe. "La I'lllf de Madame Angot." The Mondav performance was very well attended. On WodneBday the Brlttons appeared at the Palace, much to the surprise of tbe audi- ence which filled that house. One of tbe prin- cipal members of the Follies, the headline act, was 111, so a big number had to be se- cured at once. The Brlttons were first In Manager Butt's mind, and through tbe cour- tesy of tbe management of tbe Empire, where the colored performers nre playing, he was able to secure their services for the perform- ance* after tbr-y had concluded their Empire work. Needless to say that they repeated the big hit at tbc Palnce. l'rcd Baugh, the head man of the Mc- Nnughton tour. Is very dangerously HI.

NEW JERSEY. OUR LONDON LETTER. Continued from payc 1000. Arthur Shirley. A look Into tbc past of the Princess' Is Interesting. First opened exactly sixty-five years ago, the theatre lias been the home of many players, Including Charlotte Cushman and Charles Kean. In 1S5D, when the father of the lato Augustus Harris took it over, he brought Henry Irving, then a provincial actor, to London, to play small parts at the Princess', but the future head of the acting profession did not mako a good impression nn his manager, and he soon went back to tbo country. In 1803 the Princess' became the great home of melo- drama, pheuomcitally successful plays being produced there for ninny years. Due In from South Africa today nre: Will II. Fox. Meredith Slaters, Dent and Harris, and tin Mancllo Marnlls Troupe. Sailing for that port are: Mudgo and Morton, tbo former having recovered from his recent Ill- ness, which for a time looked serious; Broth- ers Damm, Odcyne Spark, Frank Coyne, Morcaschanl nnd Catrlo Joy. As usual, I saw the first evening show of the current Coliseum bill last Monday. By first I mean the nine o'clock performance. The Four BoIbcs opened with a oar act that was very good. They were a bit nervous, naturally, out nevertheless the set was per- formed with only one or two minor hitches. They went well. Next number was an- nounced as an extra one, but It turned out to be Victoria Monks, who has been out of the bill for ten days, owing to Illness. She sang three verses of 'Give My Regards to Leicester Square," being assisted by the au- dience when It camb to the chorus. She was recalled three times. Hayes and Suits fol- lowed. It was their debut In a West End music hall, and they are to be congratulated for a very clever Merformance, considering the house la not an easy one for all acta. Mr. Hayes danced In a manner that left nothing to be desired In that line, and Miss Suits was a close second to him.

An imitation of any pure, edible product is dangerous. To protect the purchaser and myself from fraudulent imitations, I have made my name and face my trade-mark in America and my name and face appear on every package of genuine Mackintosh's Toffee. To make this trade-mark familiar to the public my name and face appear in this and every advertisement of Mackintosh's Toffee, so that the package can he instantly identified by the advertisement. Mackintosh's Toffee is tne perfection of pure candy. Its chief ingre- dients are pure sugar, butter and cream. A delicious dainty, of which the palate never tires. The one candy for the home, because children can cat to their heart's content with absolute bodily benefit. The ills that follow the use of ordinary candy are unknown to those who eat Mackintosh's Toffee. The enormous popularity of this candy in the homes of England is shown by the weekly sale of 200,000 pounds of Mackintosh's Toffee.
