THE HARVARD THEATRICALs.

The unique entertainment for the benefit of the
Harvard University Boat Club given by members
of the class of S2, drew largo and brilliant audi
ence to the Union League Theatre, last evening.
and the frequent and hearty applause showed how
the fun was relished. The programme opened with
the farce "pm moi myself at ALL" which served to
introduce ii. G. Leayitt II. G. Chaplin, j. 6. Webb,
G. f. Waring and G. Luckerman. after which the
burlesque der Freschiiz; or the Bill. the Bell
and the Bullet" was given.
This latter piece contained many lively songs and
ehoruses from operas which were sung with much
dash and spirit by the undergraduates Caspar,
II. NJ. Gillig. the heavy villain, filtered
from scene to scene with an abundance OF red
fire and dismal music for accompaniments, and
made an effective use of pair OF agile
legs and good voice. Fl. G. Chapln was pic
turesque and gentlemanly devil. and 4. n. Pende-
ton made hit as Mar. The by-play of G. Tnckerman
as Kilian "soft-headed ard sOft-heartcd was very
amusing. More than once tins diminutive yonth was
nearly overwhelmed by the pODderous agatha, the
belle Of Bohemia" who was represented by II. w.
Monroe, but his presence OF mind always saved
him. The other parts wero in good hands,
This afternoon the same programme will be re-
peated, and "IvanhOe" will be presented On Mon
