Church Razar.
The attendance at the Cumberland Presby-
terian church bazaar yesterday was unusually
good. Among those who dined at the fair
were the gentlemen OF the Cotton Exchange.
So far the bazaar has been fine success, and
many attractive additions have been made.
Owing to the fatigue of the ladies it will not
be open tonight, but will run to-day, and
Thursday and Friday day and night. Fifty
dollars has been bid on The beautiful quilt
The popularity of Mrs. Captain Will For
rest, president of the Pastors Aid Society,
surrounded by bevy of beautiful young la
dies of the church, makes her tahle very at
tractive. Among the mothers of the church
present last night and encouraging them by
their presence were Mrs. E. McDavitt and Mrs.
Curti', who have attended all occasions
of interest to the church for half a century,
A handsome cake was received from c. b.

Russell, Miss Pet Galloway, Miss Sallie

The Theater.
The second presentation of Michael Stro9of
was not SO well attended as the first. There
was considerable improvement in the move
ment of the play, but there is yet room for
more. The supernumeraries give little evil
dence of the drill and discipline more partic-
ularly necessary in a pleasing presentation
of a play so full of startling situations as
characterizes and upon which depends its
success. The stage settings are really grand
the most perfect pictures and realistic
scenes ever presented to a Memphis audi
ence-but the progress of the play is greatly
marred by the clumsiness of preparation;
at times the lines of the actors are entirely
lost In the confusion going on behind the
scenes We speak of these annoyances BE-
cause we know they can easily be remedied.
Mr.. Bsngs's michael Strogofi" is an excel
lent characterization, though his perform
ance last nj ght was rendered somewhat diff
cult because of a we're hoarsenss IS from cold
apparent in the delivery of his lines. While
the full, round tones of his splendid voice
were thus made little harsh, yet there was
present in his acting his superb conception
of the character and thorough UNDERESTIMATE
of every situation in the thrilling drama.
Mr.. George w. Vessels, as the New York
correspondent, and Mr.. w. ]. Ferguson, as
the London correspondent divided the hon
ors with each other in deliueatng the rivalry
between the two war correspondents. though
at times their work seemed little over
wrought. The other characters were wei
sustained. The performance by "The Great
Folly Ballet" is certainly the most artistic
ever presented in this city, and of itself suf-
fcient for an evenings entertainment.
Michel lStrogof will be continued the re-
mainder OF the week
