not intended to apply.
If the May celebrations here were restricted
to the religious societies they would prove
little attractive. Their proceedings are usually
Is dull as the intellect Of their supporters But
the strong minded women, the abolition fanatics
and the addls-headed philosophers Of the rural
districts oil flock here at the same time, with
an invincible itching for notoristy, and caring
little what fools they make of themselves SO that
they can get an audience to listen to them and
can see their names printed in the morning
papers. We have reported the proceedings
Of the Anti-slavery society and Of the
Loyal woman's League, as being the
ony anniversaries that had any spici-
ness in them. Wendell Phillips was the
great actor in the abolitionist comedy,

WALLAcxs THKArER.-A new comedy entitled
Los. and Won,' evidently translated from the
French, was last evening produced at this tbeater
with tolerable success 1t Is piece Of light and in
nocent intrigue. with complications so transparent,
and purposes lucid that their perfect comprehen.
zion costs effort to tho least expert iuagina-
ton. Criticism would be wasted on play Of such
trivial character. 1t is enough TO say that it's action
-siter the first acts lively and that it amused the
audience sufficiently to save it from positive con-
demnstion. OF course 1t would be pleasanter TO
speak more warmly, if conscience wOuld permit
but in this case the facts altogether too stubborn
10 be blinked. "Lost and Won" will be repeated
on Wednesday evening, and the superior smooth
ness Of second performance may give il an effect
which last evening was not apparent. Without
being a worthless play, 1t is certainly so far inferior
to the average Of new productions at Wallack's
Thester as TO need no serious consideration.
