Monday's pleasures were very much marred by the
sad& n death, late in the aternoon, of Mr. Ge irge
William Handel!, local manager for slr. Hods's, wine

mouth. The droesaed was in ties position so long

of age. It is stated that be bad tonally complained

something, and on her return she found her husband
on the floor, in the bedroom, moti oiler. Medical
assistance was sent for to various quarters, and
D octant Rhodes, Griffin, and Tin ard arrived; but
they found him quite dead. The opinion waif that he
had disd in a fainting fit from stoppage of the heart;
but, as he had not had medical attendance lately, the
Coroner was informed of the circumstances attending
this sudden death. The C-wooer, on hearing the
circumstances, decided not to hold an inquest. Mr.

on Tuesday night, when we were glad to re that a
very large "house" recognised the lady's unusual
powers. In her speciality, the rendering of pathetic
pieces, Mrs. Everett was fairly astonishing, and
althouile every selection but one was new to her, that
is, it bad not been recited before, her rendering seemed
absolutely perfect in her own line. She is darn too
Intense • soul to daily with the semi-comic, and in
Calverley's "First Love and Love" we missed the
light and laughter-inspiring sketching of her sister;
but in the grandly or simply paled-a hire. Everett
was tremendous. Her rendering of "Hubert and
Arthur" was most touching, the hostel bravado and
bid. toreros*/ of Hubert contraoting finely with
Arthur's piteous appeals. Perhaps, as a work of art,
her impereonation of the poor mother in Tennyson's
"Rizpah" was the first pier of combined recitation
and acting we have ever heard her attempt. It has
not the sweet grace of the " Lincolnshire Flood,"
which we an longing in her her recite again; but the
acting of the poor woman, driven i by the execu-
tion of her boy, was even terrible—The Mayor of
Weymouth was present at the fi-st part of Mrs.
Everett's recital, but his Worship suffering from nen-
rates, Mrs. Everett excused him We are mire that
Weymouth society owe his Worship • debt for enter'
taming the lady and aiding in giving us an opportunity
of hearing her again.
