The LYcEuM HALL.--The improvements al
the Lyceum Hall, are in rapid progress, and
SO far as we Gao Judge, they are such as WILL
upon completion, yield general satisfaction
The Hall, as our readers are probably aware
is undergoing an entire renovation. Inc
Speakers platform is greatly enlarged sur
mounted by an elliptical arch, handsomely
recessed, and furnished on either side with
neatly fitted retiring rooms.
TIE seats for the audience, have been cut
down add made more comfortable than here
sofore, and are now tasteiully arranged as IN
an amphitheatre. Convenient aisIes extend
around the entire Hail. aifUrding easy access
to all the seats; the main aisles being wi
dened cut as they approach the doors-an
arrangement that struck us quite iavorab!y,
for i. not only is in good keeping with the
general design, but it adds much to the com
{ TT of the audience in their esress, and De
sides this, it presents unique and pleasing
appearance to the eye.
The former unsightly bulk head over the
doors has given place to, or rather been con
yerted into, a handsome gallery, extending
the length of the room, and capable OF &C
commodating large number OF persons.
The acoustic qualities of the Hal! too,
which were always quite good, have, we
learn, been greatly improved by the changes
made. The arrangements for heating and
lighting are far better than heretofore, and
upon the whole We think we may saiely pre-
dict. that this iavUrte Hall, will, in It's new
dress, be pronounced one Of the most com
plee as well as NEST beautiful, Lecture
and Concert rooms in the State.
