 successful affair at the Rink. CHAMBER CONCERT.
 The Boston Times says of Miss Henrietta
 Beebe's singing in the oratorio of The Sea
 sons for the Handel and Hayden society ''If
 Hayden had had the power and skill to ere
 ate voice for the soprano part of his ora
 torio he would surely have made something
 closely resembling Miss Beebe's. Crysta lline purity and clearness, almost perfect hexibil- | ity and absolute truthfulness to the pitch | characterize Miss Beebe's singing, and just | these gifts and qualifications are required for her part in The Seasons. Miss Beebe's
 selections for Wednesday are sure to please | all.
 | PASSIONS SLAVE The genuine melodrama and real passion | which runs through the above play came as
 @ pleasant relief to those who were present at l Carll's Opera House last evening to the vani- l ties of opera boutfe and the dullness of mod ern comedies with which the public has been dosed during the season. MT. John A. Stew ems has written strong play in Passion S 1 Slave'' The art with which the characters are handled and the situations worked up is genuine dramatic art. There are no new
 characters, but new character is as rare as | 8 new joke in minstrel performance. The
 scenic effects were fine. Of course Mir. 1 Stevens was perfectly at home in the play
 and acted with great evenness and power. l His company is excellent in all respects. | Miss Pierce was very charming as ''Mamie l Briscoe" and acted with much intelligence.
 All in all it was a performance of unusual ex- cellence. This evening "Unknown" will be given and is great attraction.
