a rare treat and heartily enjoyed The YER
dict of the audience was enthusiastic. He
will be welcomed here again. Prof

THE RINK.
Twice yesterday, both afternoon and even
ing, was the Dwight street skating rink filled
with audiences such as have never been seen
there before. The attraction was the two
grand concerts given by Archduke Joseph's
Hungarian Gypsy band, and indeed those
who had embraced the opportunity to hear
them went away far from disappointed. Surely
such music was rare treat. To listen to these
men play their ''Lesarbos," to listen to the
long drawn vail of Lessap, the frantic rush
a nd the sharp breaking of the rhythm in the
friska, was to appreciate what intensity of
effect music is capable of. Certainly those
who failed to see and hear this really fine
band of musicians missed a very rare chance.
This was the last appearance of the Gypsys
before their return to their native land The
programmes were as announced yesterday
Next Tuesday evening there will be an exhi-
bition of fancy skating by the New Haven
favorites, Master Porter Clark and Miss Net
tie Perkins.
LYTToN soTHERN.
OF Lytton Sothern, the son of the ceIebra-
ted Sothern, who appears at Peck's Opera
House next Tuesday and Wednesday and
Wednesday matinee, the Worcester Gazette
says: He has made bold dramatic venture
in reproducing the comedy characters made
familiar and popular by his father, but he
meets with surprising measure of success
He appeared at the Worcester Theater as
Lord Dundreary' last evening, and gave
again the stare, the stutter and the skip so
often laughed at in days gone by in more of
the old style than was generally expected.
The play was the version of "Our American
Cousin" usually presented when Dun
dreary" is made the star part, but enough of
the good old comedy remained to give Mr..
Edward Marble and Miss Bessie F. Hunter.
who have been here often, chances to win
new compliments as "Asa" and FLORENCE
Trsnohsrd, - while Miss Nellie Donald, not so
well known in Worcester, played very neat
and attractive "Msry Meredith" The others
of the company were satisfactorily received.
