Lincoln hall would have been completely hIIed
last night had Il been possible for her friends and
admirers to brave the inelemeney Of the weather.
As II was, she had most respectable audience.

"SeIapbael," Master Walker, Is hardly entitled !
yet 70 the rank occupied In Charles Auenester"
BY the musical genius Of that name; still he Is
wonderfully handsome and wonderfully talented.
HIS method is artistic In high degree his exscu-
uon IS renned and beautiful, and his expressionis
correct as far as he Is able TO understand, to
comprehend the spirit, the meaning OF his au-
years. It is a lovely thing to hear and see him
play.
We were sorry to see the stage so poorly
arranged for Mrs Seott-Siddons. Lincoln hall
is surely making money enough to afford decent
stage furniture, tables, chairs, reading desks
soft lamps, sc. An old cane seat chair, and
small three legged toilet stand Of stained pine
are not the proper things for the stage Of Lincoln
hall, or for the "eternal fitness Of things"
