The social world or tbti geed elty bu been en tlptoe of expectation for the elah. orate and studied presentation et Gold smith's pel cimedy, She Steeps te Con quer, or the Mistake of a Night," by aa amateur troupe. It may he truly said thst In spite or the aub title of the play there were no mistakes in the cast of obaraetera lut night, and every round or the liberal applauas given S3 heartily by the large audience wat well earned. Of oeurae the acting wu of many dc dc grees et exoellenee, but tbe whole troupe was thoroughly well drilled and throughout the long play showed sympathy with. Its spirit and an esse of manner that amateurs de net often achieve. The costume were elegant and historically correct In every detail; the stage la tbe three scenes of the alehouse, the room In the Hardcaatle mansion and the garden, was skillfully Bet; excellent musle wu furnished by Tayler's erches tra and, bast et all, Mroanercber hall wu filled from stage te entrance with au audl audl enee at appreciative as any that ever wit nessed a drsraatlc pretentstlen In Lancas ter. The entertalnment ran smoothly from atart te finish and net a harsh line of criti cism could be justly written of the acting of any member et the troupe. The highest honors et tbe evening were wen by Miss sufTmsn asATiM Hardcatlla her rendition of tbe part being a true dramatle triumph, though abe waa closely pressed for first plaet by Miss Franklin In the difficult obsraeter of Mrs. HardcetlU', soharaeter demanding' lnfiults laat and skill that It may net be carried te extrava ganee or Buffered te fall te tbe tame level of ordinary humanity ; for tbe ilts. ITardcaslle et Goldsmith's mind was by no meana a tame old lady and yet well known type In the world te-day. Miss Knight at Mitt Neville earned admiration by berelever by-play with Teny Lumpkin, and by her efferta te prevent the letter that Teny failed te read, from falling into tbe hands et tbe "Old Dragen." MlisMargarst Knight u Delly, filled tbe role most ac ceptably, and of the gentlemen It nisy ba said that they all seemed sreclally de de algned by nature for tbe parts they had taken, a fair proof et the excellence of their art Mr. Edward L. Atlee made an ideal Teny Lumpkin, and u he sat en the arm of a chair, swinging fata riding whip, he looked aa though ke had stepped Inte life from an Illustrated page et Harper's Monthly. Bis acting at well u that of Meisra. Appel, Dougherty and Teemer, a Mr. Jlardeattle, Hastings and Sir Charlet Marlowe wu marked by an cue of manner and clearnesa of utterance worthy et the highest commendatlon, while Mr. G. Bess Eahleman, as the manly bashlul fever and careless blunt gueat, oeuld bardly have been better. The scene between young Marlowe and Mist Uardcatle,vtben Hast ings and Miss Seville creelly left tbein te their own resources, was a mastorpleoe; and sit, tee, wu the passionate dtclaratien in the last aet with Its pandereus kneeling. Mr. G. L. Fendersmlth aa Vlggery produeed a most Interesting work of ark Ills manage ment et hla game leg, and hi military ad vance and retreat among tbe furniture were wenderfpl InT tbelr way. Mr. Jehn flager as tbe Zencf (ertf, Mr. Jehn Dlckry at Reger and Messrs'. Shieeder, Knight, Dlckey and Ublerastha jelly fellows at the aleheuse, filled their parts very well. They gave a strong chorus for Teny Lumpkin's Beng In tbe alehouse, which was given with spirit and received with en thusiastic applause alter each verse. The refrain " I et the teait pats, Dilnk tothela9, I'll wirrant she'll prevn An oxeuso ler the glats I" will be the key In alter years te msny a pleasant memory et an amateur perform ance that honestly earned dramatle and financial Buccesr.
