CHECKING TIIE RESERVED SEATS.- Owing to subscribers abusing theprivilege of having numbers given, eJ as to secure good seats to the concerts held by the Peoples' Star Course, the management will revert to the old system of having the seats checked off on presentation, at the box office, on the day of opening, at 9 a. m. The first to appear as soon as the plan is open will have the choice, and so on, Subscribers will only be allowed there own ticket with extras they purchase. It will be first come, first served. .LatelY those Who held among the first numbers secured good Beate for friends who were less' fortunate, bypi:Aent- ing their tickets and having ,seats checked off, some having no less than half a dozen, To do away with this misuse of the privileges, the old cue - torn will again be put into practice. This is the way it is attended to at the 'city operas, and the management see no reason why it would not be satis- factory in Clinton. CroWding and lea - partiality will not be countenanced. The publie are requested to bear this fact in mind for the concerts here- after.
