Mr. T.. P. Barrett will present Hamlet on the
occasion of his first appearance at Portland
Theatre this season. next Friday evening. Mr..
Barrett's Hamlet will be witnessed with great
interest His Richelieu, Richard, Shylook,
Harebsll, and Yorick are all familiar to our
theatre-goers but his Hamlet will be a new ex-
perience. Saturday night he will assume the
part of Cassius, one of his, if not his best
Shakesperian characterizations. Many will
remember it in connection with Dayenport's
Brutus and Bangs Mark Antony some seasons
ago. The tickets will be ready tomorrow at

CHANDELIERS BAND CONCERT.

the celebrated and difficult composition by
Paganini, variations upon the G string only

venting many from attending. They are now

NOTES.
aPatience," by an amateur company from
the fashionable circles of New York, brought
large sum to the treasury of IA local charity in
Boston last week. Two performances were
given, and, although the invitations" cost W
each, cards of admission were transferred at as
high as $25 each. The costumes were OF vari-
GUS colored silks and satins, hand painted with
lilies, sunhowers, poppies and daisies. One dress
was made entirely OF peacock feathers An
other was cut to represent huge llly. Some
were gathered at the waist and made with fan
shaped backs that were nicely painted to re-
semble bouquet of flowers. 1t was dream of
aesthetlcism. Bunthorne wore sage green knick-
erbockers, with light pink hose and low shoes.
At the neck he wore very low collar with
light blue carvat tied in sailor knot His atti-
tudinlZg was as sintenEe" and utter as 1t well
could be- and elected loud applause from the
audience. Grosvenor was clad in suit of
blush velvet, with dark blue hose and low
shoes. The drag oons wore tight-fitting white
trousers, high boots and red Jackets. All the
ladies in the audience appeared in full evening
costume, without head-dress. Many of the
dresses were exceedingly rich and handsome,
and a tendency toward the aesthetic was betray-
ed by an extensive use of the 'leonlne't sun
flower and the "chaste'' lily. Many of the
ladies wore huge bouquets of sunfowers or
lilies The programmes, too, were decorated
in the most approved style of aesthetic art.
The Artistes' Quartette of this city, new
combination, of which Mr.. A. B. Morrison is
manager, gave very pleasing entertainment
last night in the M. e. church, Ferry Village,
consissting of vocal solos by Miss Ada
Kennard; violin solos by Miss BERTHE Webb;
readings by Mr.. w. F.. Seward; piano solo by
Miss Addie Jackson, and an instrumental duet
by Misses Webb and jackson. The selections
were finely rendered and many OF them re-
ceived an encore.
