new drama produced at the Madison Square,
N. X, Monday, is a very interesting play. Ii
IS full of excellent material, it is written in
parts with surprising Skill and its production
last evening must be described as a success
The first act left the impression that it was the
most brilliant and surprisingly clean piece oil
dramatic writing that had been seen in years
upon our stage. 1t was delightful in construc.
tion and treatment, and it created the most
agreeable anticipations Its promise was not
justified the second act was illogical, the third
unreasonable, while in the fourth, for all that
it Is ingenious and charmiDgly conceived, fail
ed to restore continuity and proportion to the
dramatic motive.

commanded ready sale, and City Hall was
well filed last evening. The concert by Grim
mer's orchestra afforded delightful introduc-
ton to the remarks Of the lecturer. The pro-

being the bright music Of the French polka.
Mr.. Stoddsrd's lecture is a delightful descrip-

for the speaker 60 introduce many of Dickens
brightest remarks which lost none of their wit
and briliancy when quoted by Mr. Stoddard.
The audience as usual gave their attention to
the lecturer.

out of Jewell's stable with DIR. e. f.
Vose's team, to drive it over to the doctors
house just as he turned on to Centre street
and started up towards Congress, man came

did not notice the dcctor's team, but dashed
headlong into it, knocking Dr.. Voss's horse
down and completely wrecking his top buggy.
The careless truckmaD, however, never halted

and soon was out Of sight. He will, no doubt,
be interviewed later.
