LYCEUM.

A lady named Vestvalt, who appears to have
turned the heads of certain French and German critics,
and who comes to ua with an American reputation for the
performance of characters within the range of Mr. Yachter,
is now representing Romeo every night at the Lyceum
Theatre, with Miss M. Behar. as Juliet, Mr. Walter Loy
as Mercutio, Mrs. H. Marston as the nurse, Mr. Ryder as
Friar Lawrdnce, and • " scratch " company. Miss Vest-
van has • very pleasing masculine voice, and • command-
ing figure, has learnt her lesson up to a certain point, and
is not sparing of energy. In the balcony scene she is
seen to the mort advantage—her tendency to rant
being kept in check by the tenderness of the
situation, and both she and the Juliet play with
as much pension in this scene as can fairly be expected
from two ladies who are cooing over each other ea lovers.
After this the Romeo becomes very melodramatic, while
the Juliet retains her original grace and softness. We
believe it is Miss Vestrali's intention to appear in
Wallack's great character of the Brigand, and if so we
shall have another opportunity of discussing her defects
and merits. Miss Cushman seized the character of Romeo,
Miss Marriott followed her example by playing Hamlet,
and ?dna Judith is preparing to represent the same part
in Paris at. the 'Mitre de la Gaiti. The degraded state
of the modern French range may encourage any eccentri-
city, and these performances seem to us to be omen-
tricities beneath the dignity of the legitimate drama.

LEAMINGTON AND-471t. WARWICKSHIRE HUNT

YEETINQ-TUZ DAY.

Mr. Merry's autumnal meeting at Warwick gives every pro-
mime of success so far se the number of entries, the attendance
In the ring, and the beautiful spring-like weather can conduce to
success. The programme issued is of leviathan extent, contain-
ing as it does several new and interesting features In hurdle
jumping, cross-country work, and flat racing. The fields were
large throughout, and the sport of an unusually Interesting and
exciting nature, some of the contests being very closely run.
Though not so bad as other places on that point, there was an
objection against one et the winners, namely Jacob, in the
Tally-Ho Stakes, for the reason that he did not come under the
category of hones who had not been in a training stable, and
the matter will he looked into In the morning. Such occur-
rences have been much too frequent lately, and one would
have supposed that the fact mentioned would have been dis-
covered long before the uses came off, or even when the entries
were made, so as to have avoided a squabble, which no doubt
is disagreeable to all parties concerned ; bet somehow It never
crops up till the horse wins:
