most agreeable pleasure excursions OF TINS
or any other season. Capt. Larry Harm

bring this merrymaking TO r most giorl-
Gus conclusion,
THE PEAK FAMILY opened last night to
a full house, a large number Of ladies be-
ing among the audience. The thirty
| wears that his first class combination has
been before the public speak more forei-
bly, than anything we could say of b
| character of the performance. Suffice it
that the audience were highly dehghted
with everything produced. Tonight an
entire change ofprogramme IS announced.
DIR AMATIC READINGS.-The series OF
readings, given last evening at the Mem
phis club Hall by DR.. +. \. Duncan, bet
ter known to the readers of the APPEAL
/ as " Serious wilkins" were a source Of
| delight. and will long be cherished and
| held In remembrance by all who were
present to hear them. As usual on occa-
/ sions where the entertainment is purely
intellectual the audience was more select
| than numerous. and we venture TO say
| that a more truly appreciative assemblage
has rarely congregated in Memphis.
The rain, which began to fall about
half an hour before the time for
the commencement OF the read
ing. was the principal ~kcause, however,
| fthe comparative smallness of the au-
dience. as we are informed that a large
number of tickets were sold to parties who
did not put in an appearance. The reader
was in fine voice and spirits, and from the
beginning kept his listeners s~pell-pound'
as IL were. We have not n space, nor az
this late hour the time to make such a
crtique of the reading as we should Ike,
or a. the merits of the entertainment
would Justify; but we cannot pass over
the rendition Of the "Nagabons," The
Devil and the LAWYER" and 1.-THE Proud
est Record" The latter-his own crea-
tion-showed him TO possess not less o.
the creative talent than of the mimic, anu
brought tears TO MANY an eye that mac
homo been to the briney.
~T6e VaoaboRds" was a piece Of
serio-comic or semi-pathetic acting
/ that we have never seen excelled
aShamus O'Brien," too, went straight tC
many a heart, who saw through the Doc
TORS vivid word-painting, the trial, tht
condemnation and the escape eI tht
and Inc LAWYER" was magnificent, anc
was mirth provoking TO a fault, as was
also 1.-The bachelors Sale" As a specl-
mensofthe purely pathetic. Jesus seat
was a magnificent test Of the reader's
nower of e~lccution. To sum II up, VIZ
sav without reservation, that we nave
never met with one possessed Win equa
blned so thoroughly, as we witnessed
them in DR.. Duncan last night. May w
not hope to nave the entertainment re
peated at an early day.
