pleted before January 18th.
The yield in the Mississippi lower
counties will be from ten to twenty

six replies from twenty'one counties of

The Lingards, supported by their
New York company, appeared at the

fashionable audience, who were well
pleased with the acting Of every menu
Der OF the company. The opening
piece, "Sir Simon Simple proved to
the audience that the troupe were com.
posed OF first. class artists, and the COM
edy was very enjoyable. Mr.. Lin
gard appeared as "Sir SimoA," and the
drOll aud yet, at times, earnest manner
in which he sustained the character,
fully justified the high expectation that
his reputation as an actor warranted.
The other characters OF the piece were
well rendered. The main interest OF
the evenings performance was
the second play OF "The Admir-
- Ia which Alice Dunning Lingard
personated "Mary Mortimer" The
play Is an old one to theatre. goers, but
] 1t was made charming last night by
the presence in the cast of the brilliant
and beautiful actress.
Tonight the great historical play Of
" Heart and Crown" will be produced
In which Alice Cunning Liugard ap
pears as "Marie Stuart" This character
is one that calls for telling powers IL
the actress, and judging by the yer,
flattering notices that have heretofor,
appeared Of Miss Lingard's imperson
alton OF the part, those that atten,
may well expect a rare treat.
