Allen's perform ance on the violin was one of the treats of the concert. She was compelled to respond to several encores. A broad smile stole over everybody's face when Captain Atherton attired as Rube Hayseed uppeared upon the stage. The smile expanded Into a laugh when in a peculiar nasal tone of voice he began to sing to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" about the glories of "The Wins." The audience was so pleased with the captain's imnersonatlon and song that It continued to encore until all of the singer's stock of verse was exhausted. Ke then had to crave the indulgence of his audience and permis sion to retire. "Cousin Jedediah" was sung by Mr. Whltteiiiore, the other singers Joining In the chorus. Mr. Wooler and the chorus snug "Old Folks at Home." and Llewelyn Jones was heard to good ad vantage ill "Out of the Deep." "The tiypsles" was the title of the song III which John T. Watkins was heard. It was peculiarly suited to his sweet voice and aroused greut enthusiasm In the audience.

When the secretary hud finished TSMding, President Mltcneii remargeu thlat he had permitted the reading of the opinions out if consideration of Mr. Welsh. That gentleman, he went on to say. was chalrmun of the building committee which employed Mr. Nots and having discovered that It had mude ft mistake had taken this means to con fess its error and warn the noaru against future mistakes of this kind. Mr. Welsh did not noa approval in this interpretation of his motives. In stead, he made the contention that un der the former opinion of the solicitor his committee had rightfully and legal ly employed Mr. Notz. and, to show how honest he was In this conviction, he moved that Mr. Notz be paid for his work up to the time of the rendering of this luter opinion, severui menioers. Including the president and Mr. Notz himself, argued ngainst tnis on tne grounds of Illegality, and the motion was not put to the house.

Margaret Mather appears at the Academy of Music this evening as Juliet in Shakespeare's masterpiece, "Romeo and Juliet." This role forms a consplcous part of Margaret Math er's present season's bill; and well It may, for In all of our literature there Is no play so crowded with all the elements of popularity, not even for getting the undoubted attraction of songs and dances, by no means a mod ern dance for we find then Introduced Into nearly all of Shakespeare's light er plays and even some of his tragedies. Miss Mather's handsome face and per fect form, make her an Ideal Juliet. This, as .well as the other plays of Miss Mather's repertoire, are present ed with great care as to details of costuming and scenery, and amongst her able support may be mentioned, Frederick Paullnu, W. 8. Hart, H. W. Weaver, William Davldsre, Edwin Brewster, Mr. Hoyt, Mr. Turner and Miss Feely, Miss Harold, Miss Marcelle, Miss Selgh, and others. II II II Robert Downing and his company will appear at the Academy of Music on Tuesday next. In "The Gladiator." Snument's splendid tragedy Is a favor ite with those familiar with the trage dian's ability and Is pronounced the best of Dr. Downlng's entire repertoire to bring out the strongest qualities of bis dramatic instincts, his magnificent physique and his exquisite command of human emotions. The ten years that have elapsed since he first attempted "The Gladiator" have not reduced the fire and vigor of his Interpretation of the heroic role, though some changes have been made In the presentation of the piece In the decade. The altera tlons, however, have contributed to the excellence of the piece. II II II "Not In the beaten track," Is evl dently the motto of the Hanlon broth ers, who will present to the patrons of the Academy of Music on Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday mat Inee their well known but favorite pro duction of "Fantasma," That this Is their motto Ut to be believed from the fact that they are leaders In their line and that all their Ideas are of an origin al nature. The success of "Fantasma" Is due. however, not alone to this fact but also that the Han Ions are careful In the selection of the people who are to portray the various) roles entrusted to them. Among the members of this year's company may be mentioned George H. Adams. II II " The success of the "Prisoner of Zenda" has shown plainly; that the theater-going publlo have 'tired of the problem plays of Pinero Jones and Grundy, and have turned with evident relief to the romantic school of D'En nery and Dumas. In view of this change of taste William Morris de serves the gratitude of all theater-goers who love a play pure In tone and ennobling In sentiment for such is the character of Adolph D'Ennery and Jules Verne's great drama, "Michael Btrogoff." The scenery and costumes will be magnificent and the services of 100 people will be required In the production. The music has been com posed especially for It, and the support ing cast will be of great strength. "Michael Strogoff" will be given at the Frothlngham April 18, and our theater goers should not fail to witness a per formance which should prove the event of the season. NEW BIFLE BAN6E. II M.
