Odd Fellows Hall,
AcndeENY of Music.

L had been previously announced that the
Grand Duke Alexis would attend tie enter
tainment at the Academy of Music last
night and at'an early honr portion Of his
suit entered the theatre, and occupied the
proscenum boxes prepared for his highne-s.
The Duke himself did not appear until some
| hours later. OF course, however, the an
| nouncement drew an immense audience to
the Academy, and, combined with the bril-
| liant attractions of the Lydia Thompson
troupe. made the occasion of decided inter
est. The play was Kenilworth," and the
manner of its representation was well calcu-
lated to inspire the applause it received.
Each artist was conspicuou5iy excellent.
Miss Thompson, fascinating, brilliant and
piguant as the saucy and couuettish Lester,
has rarely appeared to so great an advan-
tage. This is saying a great deal, for Miss
Thompson is always inimitabIc. Beckett,
as the Tirgin queen. was broadly ridiculous
and exquisitely. funny. So, too, was
Edouin as T1n1,ey. BY the way, decided
attraction to the piece is the iSnsser of Miss
Cook. a sprightly, pretty little blonde, who
plays exquisitely.
The performance was happily received
throughout, and with marked demonstra-
tons of approval by the imperial party.
There will be the usual matinee at the
Academy today, and the regular perform
ance tonight.

In few days the rolling mills stopped and

preparing to put in monster engine, that
will drive all their machinery through dry
