REV. EDw EVERETT HALEs LECTURE.
The fifth lecture of the Uhanning Course will
be delivered this evening by Rev. Edw Everett
Hale, OF Boston, well known as one OF the bright.
est and most piquant of American writer's and a.
very entertaining platform orator. His an
nounced topic, " Back to Back. /" leaves us in de-
lghtfu uncertainty as to the exact character OF
the lecture, but we may be sure that it will be
We'll worth hearing.
THE KATIE PUTNAM COMPANY.
Three performances will be given by this
troupe IN Wilmington--on Friday and Saturday
evenings, and Saturday afternoon. The Com
pany elsewhere has been warmly praised, and
Miss Putnam is endorsed by the press as having
decided talent The Pittsburg Leader says she
performed the dual characters of Lille Nell
aud the Warehouses in the 'od Curiosity
Shop in a measure that has never been sur
passed in Pittsburgh. She kept the audience In
continuous roar of laughter and applause all
through the piece and was called before the our
tam at the end of every act. Miss Putnam is
unquestionably the best exponent OF the light
comedy style of acting that haa visited us for
many years."
THE THEODORE THOMAS coScEnr.
We have giyon some idea of the large number
0t people in Theodore Thomas's Company, and

the Company presents tho attraction of Mad
anne Antoinette Sterling, contralto singer of
splendid power, who is down on the programme
for two opieces, an aria from Mozart, and song,
- When the Tide Comes In."
The Baltimore Gazette, after dwelling upon
tho remarkable discipline of this great oIches-
tra and the manner in which Its leader has suo-
ceeded in building up " that SUBTLE intangible
thing, artistic sympathy, without which there
can be no perfect musical utterance," says: We
claim the Thomas Orchestra NJ fairly and truly

freedom from traditions freedom from the
roots and grooves of schools and ciques. 1t is
