STEINwAY HALL~-OLE BULL--Ole Bulls farewell
concert at steinway Hail last night attracted an I'M
mence audience, which crowded every portion OF the
large and small halls. The great violinist played
Mozart's violin concerto in major, with piano and
organ instead Of the orchestra the "Witchs Dance"
BY Paganini, and his own version OF the
which the composer Of "Don Giovanni" Ia easily
recognizable, gave Ole Bull better chance to dis

DE GARMo's HALI-MIss LAoosrEs RRADNds-
We have already alluded to the readings or rather
the recitas, of MISS Lacoste as being unique. We
are not aware that any other lady has made 80 bold
an attempt as to recite from memory, "suitng the
action to the word" throughout Dialogue In which
more than thirty different characters appear, the
whole OF 'Julius Caesar" one Of the most elaborate
Of Shakspeare's plays. We must frankly
add that we do not hold success in such
an attempt TO be particularly desirable, eAcept
ourselves we should prefer to have Miss Lacoste
stake 1t easily" seated at the desk like other dS-
tingushed readers even II she did not need to LOOK ,
courage with which this artist undertakes far more
difficult task. Recitation moreover, gives oppoou.
mites not afforded by reading for effects ike those OF
acting on the stage with all its accessories OF costume
and scenery and crowd Of performers. Miss Lacoste
richly deserved the applause which she received on
Thursday evening and on Monday evening. She
accomplished her task with all the success possible.

PARK THEATRE, BRooKLYN.-It is hardly. neces-
sary to inform the public that Mr. E. l.. Davenport Is
one Of the best Shaksperan actors on the American
stage, and that as Hamlet he has really no rival.
One OF the most pleasing characteristlcs in Mr..
Davenports acting is the absence Of all staginess
and mere theatrical effect, and the complete absorp-
ton OF the Character represented In The personnel OF
who exces Davenport, and very few even among
the younger and most fav0rte actors who can equal
him. His appearance at Mrs. Conway's theatre as
Hamlet last night by special request, and the
Brooklyn people made good their requlsition upon
the fair lessee by ling the house to repleton. Mrs.
Conway conscientious and gifted as she always Is in
whatever part she assumes, was especially good as
Ophelia. Mr.. Conway made very substantial ghost,
and delivered himself OF his story with inteligibe
emphasis worthy OF flesh and blood The other parts
| were well filled by Miss Violet Campbell, Messrs.
| Hamilton, Saville, Ryan and Wren. ON Friday MT.
Davenport will take his benefit at this theatre when
the "Lady Of Lyons" will be played.

BANvARp's OPERA HoUsE.-The romantic dram
of the Carpenter of ROuen" was the play at thi

character In the piece, and his ability and tact wer
fully recognized and appreciated by the audience
lie was ably supported III this peculiar drama by tn
other members OF the regular banvard company, u
OF whom appear nightly, after the termination Of th
DRAMA in some sparkling comedy farce, wit
which the performances here always conclude.
THEATRE CoMIQUE.-This little temple of mrti

the Third" In which the right and left wings OF

| three songs every night, and the champion athlete
sam Conyer, contributes to the enjoyments Of the
| evening
SAN FRANCISCO MNsrRKIs.-Cork opera at this
house Is positively growing in favor. The funny
manner which these droll chaps get or their CONT
caltcs would provoke the gravest to smile, while
their buresque acting never fails to excite the merr
ment OF the entire audience. Good singing, "Under
the Kerosene Lamp" and the ludicrous capers OF the
| Managing Committee are now the attractions here.
