1.-The HuguenOts'' at the Academy OF
Music.
Last night "The Huguenotsr was performed at the
Academy OF Music for the second time this season.
The cast underwent but one change, and that un-
mistakably for the better, in the person of Mlle
Sanz who sung the part OF Urban, the page in
stead OF Nile. Clara Doria whose name, however,
was on the bills. The aria mo, no, nor, in the
second act, omitted on Wednesday night,
was given by Mle Sanz, and with erect. The
chorus, too, was q little better in hand, but stil
with room for Improvement in numbers and efa-
cheney. Nine. Levelli, as Marguerite, was in bet
ter voice than on Wednesday night, and her ar
tistic execution had therefore, more even
chance for display In the absence OF witness OF
tone that marred her singing somewhat on the
previous representation. Signor Janet has not
improved for 1t is not in the nature OF this artist to
present performance that he can better as
he goes on. The role OF Marcel Is too heavy for him.
and he showed on the first night that he was
stretching the limits OF his capabilities. The sue
cess of Nine. Lucca as Valentine was repeated with
even more marked emphasis OF esteem. The great
scea in the fourth act was burst OF genius carry
ing everything before it in signing as well as act

Madame RudersdOrH at Irving Hall.
musical event OF a novel nature took place last
evening at Irving Hail. concert was advertised
IN which Madame Rudersdorn, Miss Alice fairman,
Miss Therese Lebe Mr. Nelson varey, Mr.. Sprague
and DR.. William Berge were to appear. Owing to
mismanagement the concert proved a amentabe
failure. An announcement was made that the
tenor, Mr.. Varley had not yet arrived in this coun-
try, and the baritone, Mr.. Sprague, was SICK More
than half an hour elapsed after the time advertised
for the opening OF the concert before any Of the
fists put in an appearance. Then they passed down
through the midst OF the audience and entered
one OF the stage boxes. Miss Lebe first played
violin SOLO which neither excited interest nor gave
any favorable impression OF the abilities OF
the fair artist. Miss Farman, contrato
OF considerable talent, sung aira by Handel
and she sings with much expression and feeling.
After another pause OF preposterous length Nine.

unfair to criticse too strictly the singing OF Nine.

Mr.. SOthcrM mt WalIack's Theatre.
The first two weeks OF Mr. Sotherns engage
ment at Wallack's have already expired, but the
interest In the distinguished actors delineatiOn
OF the half-stapd half-sn0bbsh English lord shows
even increased favor past seasons. Last night
was severe test for successful representation;
but, in spite OF the weather, full house greeted
the performance, and mirth and laughter showed
themselves in every countenance. Mr.. SOthern has
thoroughly mellowed IN his part, and he now
brings to it all his old time vivaciy with the best
fruits Of long experience. His Lord Dundreary is
one OF the recognized creations of the stage only
because lie has made it what IL iS-namcly, an
lndividuai2ed, humorous and characteristic piece
OF acting. Two such opposite characters in play
as Dunoreary and Asa Trenchard caricaturing with
SUFFICIENT truthlulness to make the satire very Bit
ter, the fOibles OF the kindred natons,' would
make "Our American COusn' most unacceptable

not constantly compel q laugh instead of q frown.
The requirements for success In 1t are as difficult
as the realization of Dundreary's idea OF the posi-
billty OF fellow wagging his left ear. His support

| fair Asa Trcnchard, Mr.. j. II. StOddard an excellent

may be summed up in that most delicious OF COLO
