 THE HORSE GUARDS FAIR.
 Hundreds attended the Horse Guards fair at the armory of the company last evening. The attractions are numerous and dancing every evening to the fine music of the Second regiment band. The Foot Guards, Captain Morse, visited the fair last evening, adding much to the interest. fine sword has been presented to the Horse Guards by ex-mem- bers. It will be awarded to the military off cer of this city receiving the most votes. Tonight the grand New England supper to enjoy it. Tonight grand reunion of the l ex-members of the Herse Guards takes place at the supper.
 THE CALVARY BAPTIST ORGAN RECITAL. There was Q large attendance at the Call | vary Baptist church last evening to hear the new organ exhibited by Harry Rowe Shelley. The concert was most enjoyable one. The new organ is q splendid instrument with all l the latest mechanical contrivances to assist l the performer. It was played with a master s skill by one whose talents are we'll known to our music lovers. The programme was @ 1 trife long, and, like some of the pedal stops of the instrument, a trifie too heavy The | longer and more difficult pieces were listened l to attentively, but the shorter ones were the ! most taking with the audience Of these were the ''Scherzando" (Hoffman) and the # Russian Romance" (Hoffman) both of which were exquisitely rendered. Mrs. Blinn sang her two selections in her usual l masterful manner, and received beautiful | floral tribute. During the evening Dr. w. G. | Anderson was introduced and played an ex- temporization ending with ''Auld Lang 1 Syne."
 MILE. LEGRAND.
 It is much to be regretted that but 8 com. paratively small audience was present at Peeks Opera House last evening to witness the drama of ''Camille as 1t was presented by Mile. Eugenie Legrand and her company. Those who fatter themselves that they are l "posted" regarding the theatrical world and stayed away fearing an ordinary performance made great mistake. We must admit that we were greatly surprised at its excellence and have no hesitation in classi flying it. as far as the character of ''Cami1Ie' is concerned, with the finest that has evel been given in this city excepting that o Bernhardt. Mile. Legrand comes to us witt the most fattering praise from noted critics and all those who were fortunate enough tt see her last evening will no doubt give thei, hearty endorsement. Mlle Legrand ii slight and rather delicate in appearance, but
 the clear and forcible manner in which she expresses every line reveals dra matic power which completely enchains her audience. Her voice is large anC rich, and her enunciation, with enough O. , the French accent to make it peculiarly fasci ; hating, is wonderfully perfect. Her expres sion is that of one who correctly define every motive, and her action is we'll suited tt every word Her facial expression closely depicts her every thought. In this respect l however, Sne IS 8 Ittle too pronounced, g1V l ing almost too much action to the muscles of her face. We cannot thinI that Camille" as she presented it las
 evening, can be her true conception of ths character, for she lifts it above reproach and endews it with chasteness without a sem
 blance to guile and appears an unfortunate creature more ''sinned against than shining All the good and pure qualities of the char acter are constantly emphasized and nc action is indicative of the depraved life , which Camille was supposed to have lived The whole of Mlle Le Grands performance !; can be characterized as beautiful and artistic and the enthusiasm which arous
 ed would have been stormy hac the audience been of good size. The sup port was good, that of Mir. Leslie Gossin a. ''Armand' unusually so for the most part. II passion he would have been better if less vio lent and modest toning down would moi interfere disadvantageouslyw with his forcible expression. The Madame Prudence" rather suffered in comparison, but the support as whole was above the average. This evening the company will appear in Lytton's play 'sThe Lady of Lyons," and if Mile. Legrand appears as we'll in it as she did in Camille last evening, we can assure those who attend of 8 rarely good entertainment.
