Grand Opera House last evening. The audi

finely explained by Prof, Wilson, himself a

DIR. GALLAHERs LECTURES
Calvary Baptist church was crowded We'd
nesday night. The magnet that drew such
large company together was DR.. Henry
Gallaher, of Brooklyn, formerly pastor of
Calvary church. DR.. Gallaher was in fine
condition aad held the undivided at
tention of his hearers. The subject of
his lecture was 1.-THE Way of the World"
The lecture abounded in thought and rheto-
rio and fully sustained the high repute in
which the gifted speaker is held by his many
friends and admirers here. The way in
which DR.. Galiaher quoted from numerous
poets, authors and philosophers writings
which illustrated in a felicitious manner
points in his discourse greatly edited his
hearers and evinced his extensive reading,
while his sallies of wit delivered in his mimi
table style fairly convulsed his audience. The
lecture was highly enjoyed.
CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH FAIR.
Notwithstanding the storm of last evening
there was large attendance at the fair at the
Atheneum. The hall is very handsomely
decorated and the different departments are
well supplied, SO that it would be useless to
particularize any one of them. One of the
leading features, for which the ladies of this
society are noted, is the hot suppers which
are served as early as o'clock each evening.
Last evening Mrs. G. H. Newton, soprano at
the Third church rendered some very fine Sc
lections and was warmly encored. Later in
the evening the following committee of we'll
known gentlemen superintended the filling
and sealing up of an empty barrel with ap-
Piles, which was offered as prize to those
that could guess the number of apples in the
barrel: W. A. Waterbury, Ell. L. Cowell,
John Mccarthy, L. H. Perkins, F.. L. Con-
verse, G. B. Bristol, J. FL. Leeds, O. d. Rog-
ers, A. L. Morse. This evening among other
attractions will be presented on the stage the
beautiful drama of Forty Winks." A
change of programme each evening.
