FARJEON'S READINGS.

Mr.. B. L. FaIjeon, the author, gave his first read
ng in New York last evening at Seinway Hail. He
;hose his weIknown story, "BIadc o. Grass" for
his initiative effort In this city, and from tho
in which 1t was received by his auditors It seemed TO
be a happy selection. Tho audience was not very
arge one, the body OF the hall being about half lcd
but II was evidently very apprcciave one. His ap-
pcarancc when no came on tho platform In full even
Ing dress was the signal for round Of genuine ap-
plausc. A very large portion OF his audience was
posed Of ladies'. and from the intelligent interest
they manifested in tho readings II was evident that
tho story OF BLADE o. Grass" was no
rich, clear voice; his intonaon is almost perfect
and hts styc and manner Of delivery nj graceful
and elegant HIS limitations Of different voices and
his rendering OF certain London dialects showed that
no had made most careful study of the characters
for The moment delincatinr " not In manner,
least in tone. Esecciay this the case In reading
tho chdrcn's parts From she manner In which he
was received ast night aud from the genuine natural
gifts ne possesses reader II Is evident that his
venture in this country viii be success.
