The Philadelphia and New York papers all speak in complimentary terms of the recent performances of "Conrad and Medora" in the above-mentioned cities during the recess. The play, says the Times, is a travesty on Byron's "Corsair." "Folanthe," "The Pirates of Penzance," "Horrors," "Baba," "The Babes in the Wood." "Evangeline," the Brooklyn bridge, the proposed new aqueduct, the legislature of New York, the great and only combined Barnum and London shows, George Francis Train and "Julius Caesar." The cast included:
Conrad, the Corsair, a pirate chief. Gloomy, ironical and Byronical.

R. D. Sears.Seyd (or Seedy) Pacha, Arabi Bey in disguise.
