The managers announce for Friday evening of this week a Mothcr Hubbard party. Every lady appearing in a Mother Subbard costume on presenting at the office a card with her name thereon, that evening will be admitted free. Others will be charged the usual prioe. A gay time is anticipated. Jt is now expected that on Satuiday night following there will beat the rink a match game of polo between the City Grcys of Detroit, and one of our polo clubs.
