AS regards what part of this may be- accom-

Will say that IL lies very largely in their

HARVARD rHEATnroALs


Last night for the first time in our recollec-
ton, college society failed to draw largo
and fashions Bile audience In this city to wit
ness their appearance in theatrcials. On THIS
occasion the failure was partly due to the fact
that the Haydn Association gave the Messiah
for the benefit OF It's subscribers, thus draw
Ing away many who would otherwise have
been present, and partly owing TO the mistake
OF raising the price Of seats, proceeding that

part of Papa Perriohon it can be truthfully
said that he not only had . good conception OF
the part but he acted with finish and know
edge of the cha OF the vain, wealthy old
bourgeois that made the Interpretation rank
high from any point of view. He was mex
pressbly comic In his hat and cloak when
about to start for his duel with Bilbouguet,
and his apology scene was as neat piece OF
acting as has been exhibited by any profess
ional. The gentlemen who assumed the char
aclers OF the two lovers, Prosper and Armand,
gave rendering that while ii preserved all the
delicate humor OF the respective roles, added
the case and department OF well-bred gentle
men. Nine Perriohon and Rosalie, were both
