LECTURE BY REV. JOHN WEIss.-The first
of series of three lectures on Shakespeare was
given last evening at Lyceum hall, to an ap-
preciativc audience, by Rev. Mr.. Weiss. The
humorous creations of Shakespeare furnished
an opportunity for the exercise of the lecturers
| keencst analysis of character which no report
can do any justice. The few prominent names
which Mr. Weiss summoned forth from Shakes
peare's plays were made to illustrate the foles
and vagaries, the virtues and moraities of our
everyday life He gave, Also in the course of his
lecture, some fine glimpses Of Shakespeare HIM
self. He commenced with definition of humor
as contrasted with satire and irony, showing it
to be moral rather than mental quality. As
a study of its different phases, as seen in the
Shakespearian plays, he commenced with that
delightful bit of word painting in "Much Ado
about Nothing" Dogberry, with his curious
displacement and misuse of words. Underlying
the ignorance and inconsequence of such char
acters VIC are shown by the use the great dram
atist makes of them, how knavery is outwitted
by faulty. The character of Malyolo, in
Twelfth Night, with his unreasonable and
QuiXotic self conceit, was next brought forward
to show how Shakespeare delighted to paint the
passage from virtue to vice, and in the move
ment of his play to give specimen of the way
counterplots battle, mortify and school each
other In depicting Bottom, in Midsummer
Nights Dream, he instanced the direction of
Iitania TO her elves to wait on him. when he
wore the ASS head, as having a counterpart in
the way in which the souls subtle fancies are
always sent to dance attendance on the donkey
ism of the world. The whole of this fairy play
gave us humor on revGl through which
we get glimpseS of the serious drift
OF life. Mr. Weiss closed his lecture
with pictures of Jaqucs and Touchstone, dwell
ing with particular delight on the last-named
character. The whole lecture was choice in all
respects, full of delicate fancy, concise analysis,
running illustration and anecdote that will make
all who were present ready to attend the next
one of the series, which will be given next week
Tuesday evening.

The HILL rrinI.

New YORK, Oct. 29,-The case made out by
the prosecution is regarded as very weak by
Mayor Halls counsel. The prosecution do not
aver that Hall had any share or participation in
the ring plumber. Ii is understood that 0Conor
declined to be of the counsel for the prosecu-
ton, owing to the belief that the mayor could
not be found guilty under these indictments. A
speedy conclusion is looked for.
MIR. Peckham went on at great length citing
authorities and precedents. He dwelt upon the
fact that twas conceded that the board of audit
did not meet, and argued that the delegation OF
their duties TO another was proof that the de-
PENDANT and his co-auditors had made up theil
minds not to perform their duties. At the con.
clusion of Peckham's address the court adj
journed. Mr.. lremaine will sum up tomorrow
and Mr.. Stoughton will reply.

three bands made excellent music along the line

mand of Maj. brennan. The line was formed
by Lieut.. T. E. LeaYitt of the State Guard, who
acted as adiutant. The three bands then con-
solidated into one organization under the lead
ersbip of I. g. Richardson, and played during
the customary march in front of the line with
good etfcct. The companies all appeared very
well at parade, but the Springfield company ex-
ceeded the local companies in promptness of
execution and attention to their duties. At the
conclusion of the parade the companies
marched, under escort of the united bands, to
the armory, where a collation. was served by
Messrs. Taft, Bliss & Putnam, who also fur
nished the supper for the dance later in the eve
ming. The companies were then dismissed I'M

The days festivities wound up with a social
reception dance at Armory hall. Previous to
the grand march, the award of prizes for excel
lence in Workmanship was made by Major
brennan. The prizes awarded by Company B,
State Guard, consisted of silver medals for the
first and second best shots, and the usual
leather medal for the worst shot that hit the
target. The fortunate shots were those of
Charles Bontems and Capt Charles Harvey,
and the unfortunate one that of H. 0. Porter.
The City Guards offered gold medal, owned by
the company, which the owner can have if he
can retain it three years, for the hest shot; sill
yer medal for the next best, and the usual
leather token for the poorest. They were
awarded-gold medal, Edward Parker; silver, A.
L. Pike; leather, Asa l.. Kueeland,
Armory hall was filed by one of the largest
parties of the season, last evening, and the fes-
tivities, which were of pleasant character,
