The entertainment at Wizards hall last even
ing, given under the auspices OF the Shakespeare
Club, the proceeds to be devoted to the relief OF
the suffering poor of the District, was a perfect
success. A large and fashionable audience wa
in attendance, and it was evident, from the de-
monstrative applause that greeted the amateur
artists that good feeling, enhanced oy me act
ing, pervaded the large assemblRge. The enter
tannent commenced with the farce entitled the
obstinate Family" with the following cast !:
MIR. Hay as Mr.. HARDWOOD; Mrs. Hort as Mrs.
HARDWOOD; Mr.. Bangs as Henry HARDWOOD; Miss
Schmidt as Jessie Harwood; Mr.. Walk as James,
{in love with Lucy;) Miss Cauldwell as Lucy.

laughable presentation of the eccentric Old Man.

Mrs. Jarley's lecture, arranged and delivered

1t is gratifying to see the cordial support given
these entertainments by our best citizens, when 1t
is well understood that the proceeds are faithfully
devoted to real, distressing cases of poverty found

FoTd's Opera House-Mr. John I. Raymond.
We have to record another overwhelming ova-
tiOn to the popular comedian, Mr.. John T. kay
mond. Scarcely, If ever, have we seen in Washs
ington SO brilliant an audience as that which as
sembled at Ford's opera house last night. Mr..
Raymond eclipsed all his former efforts in this
wonderful character. He has established a repu-
tation here second to no comedian living. The
originality of the play, the excellence OF Mr.:
Raymond's rendition OF the character Of Colonel
Mulberry Sellers will long be remembered as one
Of the most enjoyable pieces Of comedy ever pre-
scented on any stage This afternoon and evening
will be the last performances in this city for the
present season, as Mr.. Raymond commences an
engagement at the grand opera house, Baltimore,
Monday evening next.
