The " Oddities of Ohio , " the title of a new ballet by M . Leclercq , was produced on Monday night at the Hay ^ iarket Theatre . The interest of the work turned upon the resolution of two young girls— -Jlfa / 'jr ( Miss Coates ) and Lucy ( JMiss Louise Leclercq— to marry their lovers , against which alliance their guardian . Old Sam Slide ( Mr . Leclercq ) , had set his face . The maidens , by their wit and ingenuity , overcome all their obstacles , and in the end true love is made happy . The perils , however , through which Mary and Lucy pass to their connubial goal are truly alarming . The ballet was cleverly acted by Messrs . Charles and Arthur Leclercq , and the energy and grace of their sister added greatly to the success of the piece . The house was crowded . St . James ' s Theatre . Mr .

and amusing little piece . " Le Pour et le Contre , " also given on Wednesday , is another brief and clever sketch of married life , which was exceedingly well performed by the talented company . Hanover Square Rooms .- —A numerous and fashionable , company assembled on Tuesday night , at Miss Poole ' s Annual Concert . The list of vocalists and instrumentalists included Madame Catherine Hayes , Madame Weiss , Miss Palmer , and Miss Manning . Mr . Weiss , Mr . Benson , Mr . J . L . Hatton , and Mr . Ramsden , Miss Freeth , Mr . Harold Thomas ( piano ) , Mr . H . Graeff Nicholls ( flute ) , and Sig . G . Regondi ( concertina ) . Miss Poole took a fair share in the work of the evening , and sang all that she undertook very charmingly , and was warmly applauded . Claribel ' s pleasing ballad , "I
remember it , " Berger ' s song on the old proverb , " Better be off with the old love before you ' re on with the new , " were g-iven in Miss Poole ' s most charming style .

The music is simple and pathetic , and sung with so much feeling and taste as to produce a deep impression . The Burlesque Italian Opera , is capitally done by these talented artistes , and there is besides plenty of fun and good joking kept up by them throughout the evening . Tiie bill of fare presented by Creniorne on Monday last was of a varied and most attractive character , and accordingly it was one of the chief points of l'esprt for the pleasure-seekers on Whit Monday . The management had spared no p ; mi 3 in their preparations for the
fetes of the ' week , and in spite pf the unfavourable weather , so greatl y ^ attractive were thcrainusements and entertainment provided in . the * gardens , that they were exceedingly well patronised on Monday .- The al-fresco ainuseinenJs commenced at 3 o ' clock , with a grand musical performance with the aerephou and brass band combined . This was followed by the most graceful gymnastic exercises by the Elliott family . There was then a vocal- concert , for which the best professional talent was secured . In the theatre and the circus , i n which the juvenile Delavanti appear , there are admirable exhibitions of skill and talent to be enjoyed . The whole of the day ' s entertainment terminated by a grand al-fresco ball , and a delightful pyrotechnic display .
