CLUNIE OPERA HOUSE," The Lancashire
Lass " was given again last evening. Miss
Heath assumed the part of Fanny, and
lifted it to its proper plane. The lady is a
capable actress, of fine stage presence. Miss
Boyie's Ruth, and Mr. Summers g A party
by the name of Johnson" are the leading
parts IN this thrilling melodrama, and are
gwen with a spirit and faithfulness that
testify to thorough appreciation of the text
ana the ideal of the author. The play will
be repeated tonight.
METROPOLITAN THEATER.-' Kentuck "
carries the spectator back to the early DAYS
OF the South, and introduces several real.
lstlc scenes. In the second act an exciting
race scene IS well worked up, horses being
brought on the stage, and the start and
tlnlsh OF a running race is given with great
ildellty. Mr.. Stetson is perhaps seen to
better advantage as the big-hearted chiyal-
re Southron, than in any other character
he assumes. 1t is a part that might be
easily spoiled by exaggeration, but the
character is not overdrawn by Mr.. Stetson.
Miss Ingham plays the part of the heroine
with ease, grace, and becoming dignity.
The company is large, and the drama
brings all the members of it prominently
forward. The same play tonight Neck
and Neck is underlined for next week.
LECTURE THIS EvENING.-At the Congre-
gational Church this evening at s O'Clock
the second lecture of the Delphian Societv's
course will be delivered by Homer r
Sprague, President of Mills College, on the
interesting subject " Shakespeare's Youth y
The lecturer is reported to be very elo-
quent, and possessing the happy faculty of
securing the friendship of his audience at
once, and holding the eager listeners to the
close. The price of general admission will
be 80 cents, but members of the CITY schools
will be charged only half that price. Owing
to inclemency of the weather, the commit
tee IN charge sought to postpone the lect-
ure, but other engagements of President
Sprague prevented. The distinguished
scholar and speaker should find Sacramento
appreciatlve of literary culture by the pres
ence of large audience, no matter if it
should rain hard.
