 PATIENCE.
 The second presentation of Patience oc- cured at Carll's Opera House last evening, there being very large and appreciative au- dience present. Judging from the way it was received last evening second impressions garding this musical novelty are much more favorable. There was much more enthusi- asm and much more delight expressed by the audience than was the case at its first pre- sentation, several numbers having to be re- peated in response to the hearty demand. In many respects the performance was superior to the first one, and little points added here and there in the stage business relieved it of the subduing influences of too great an amount of aestheticism. MT. Wilson's make up as Bunthorne was not quite so 'tblllous'' and his acting was capital, as was in fact that of the whole company, the keen wit and sat- ire of the ibretto being fully brought out. The chorus singing and that of Mir. Mason (Col. Calverly), who was in excellent voice, were unusually fine and called forth hearty applause. The whole performance was thor oughly enjoyed, and the thanks of the public are due MT. Carll for his enterprise in secur- ing the company for second time.

 COURSE OF LECTURES. The attractive course of lectures to be given at the First M. E. church is already awakening much attention and large at- tendance is indicated. The first one is by | Rev. J. o. Peck, D. D., on "Pluck vs. | Luck" on Thursday evening, November 10. | He is fine and entertaining speaker. The | Chicago Tribune says of it: Centenary church was crowded above and l below with an intelligent audience to hear | Rev. J. o. Peck, D. D., on Pluck vs. Good | Luck The lecturer viewed his theme from | every standpoint, and finally enthroned it's | humanly speaking as the con- quering power of the world. Apt and timely | and often wittyl illustrations characterized | the whole discourse, and not unfrequently | came the full force of a genuine eloquence, | all of which called forth frequent applause. | MT. Peck is man of fine address, and is | blessed with voice that is very flexible, and | of large compass and pleasing to the ears. He | combines the clements of popular speaker, | and Chicago is to be congratulated that an- other star is to be added to the galaxy of her great lecturers in the person of the Rev. J. | o. Peck"
