It is entitled 'sPlat form Experience" a subject which he is em- inently fitted to handle in a most interesting and entertaining way. Seats at Loomis without extra charge.
 CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH FAIR. The ladies of the Church of the Messiah have engaged the Atheneum for this evening, also Thursday and Friday evenings and Sat urday afternoon and evening, for their fair, for which many special attractions are pro- vided. This evening the programme will l consist of variety entertainment, which will be in progress at intervals throughout the occasion and afford a very pleasant way of spending an evening supper tor busi- ness men will be served during the evening and with a capital bill of fare, with ice cream, tea, coffee, etc., and there are many other attractions. A large number of friends will doubtless drop in.
 MISS JANE CooMBs.
 A large audience was present at the Grand Opera House last evening, when Miss Jane Coombs appeared ''Juliet'' in Shake speare's great love tragedy Romeo and Juli- et' Miss Coonbs is undoubtedly an actress of unusual talent, and her conception and rendition of the character last evening was very much enjoyed by the audience. Her endeavor to avoid the too common habit of overdoing part caused her to err somewhat in the other direction during the first half of the performance, her voice and action lacking that depth of passion and power which arouse enthusiasm in an audience. In the latter part of the play, however, she gave evidence of that ability which has gained her a high reputation, and appeared before the curtain twice in response to liberal applause. For the most part she was ably supported, and throughout the entertainment proved to be meritorious one.
 THE sHAUGHAUN.
 Foote's New York Celtic Drama company give 'eThe Shaughaun" at Peck's Grand Opera House next Saturday afternoon and evening. Matinee at reduced prices. MT. John T. Kinds, late of the Theatre Royal Dublin, is the principal actor. The New York HeraSd says
 There was produced at the New Broadway Theatre last evening one of those patriotic Irish dramas which have found so much fa- vor with the public when interpreted with 1 intelligence. The play was produced with 1 view to introduce to the New York public | Mir. John T. Kinds, who, we must confess, 1 is one of the most brilliant young Irish actors | that the European stage has supplied us with | for years. His acting, though quiet, is of the | magnetic order, and awakens and carries you with him into the spirit of the play, whether you will or not The star was honored with an enthusiastic curtain call at the close of | each act. It will give us great pleasure to see Mir. Kinds again, and we regret his pres ent engagement is limited to two weeks.
