THE DICKINSON LECTURE TO- MORROW NIGHT.
 The fifth lecture in MT. Dickinson's art course is tomorrow evening at Carll's. The subject, Spanish art, is profusely illustrated, not only with representations of the old mas ters, but with magnificent colored views of galleries, churches and convents in Madrid Seville and Cadiz. This is one of the best lectures of the course, both in composition and in beauty of illustration. Velasquez and Murillo have long been favorites.
 cARLL's OPERA HOUSE.
 Miss Fort scue, the eminent young actress, will appear at Carlrs next Friday and Satur- day evenings and Saturday afternoon in "Frou-Frou, l" "Moths" and Gretchen" An exchange says: She is winsome woman, whose smile strikes straight to the heart of all who see her, and whose voice and hearty way makes everyone in the audience CT friend immediately. She is capable of repose when acting is required, and she is at all times earnest.
 LOUIS JAMES AS "oTHEILo."
 MT. Louis James gave very creditable pr ssentation of ''Othello'' at the New Haven Opera House last evening. The feature of the evening was Miss Wainwrights magnif- cent impersonation of f'Desdemona." She is without a superior in this character. Noth- ing could be mole graceful and above all more natural than her conception and DOT trayal of the role. The play was handsomely mounted and the support was up to the average in ability. MT. James is workins hard to secure for himself reputation as the successor of Mccullough, and with the able assistance of Miss Wainwright he seems bound to win it.
 BUNNEIL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE,
 Miss Pauline Markham not only entertain. ed but delighted splendid audiences at Bun. nell's popular opera house at yesterdays two and Miss Markham as 'Lady Isabel" per. formed her part admirably. To her New Haven friends she appeared as beautiful as ever, tasty in dress, discreet and tenn pered in her passionate utterances. The sympathy always felt for the character personated by Miss Markham again assisted her in endearing herself to her delighted audiences. Her acting is as breezy and taking as ever. She is magnetic and pleasing. Her methods are strikingly orig inal, her conception of her role thoroughly intelligent and the performance of it consis tent, forcible and effective. Miss Mark ham was ably supported by very acceptable and competent company. The "Busy World" ir the Museum hall delights hundreds of Man ager BunnelPs patrons.
 JOHN T. RAYMOND.
 MT. John T. Raymond, in the character oi Samuel Bundy the 'sWoman Hater," drew { large audience together last evening and kept them throughout the play in titters which oftentimes broke forth into peals of laugh ter. The plot is full of comic incidents and mistakes, and though simple it is ever en trancing Samuel Bundy is universally re galded as "Woman Hater," but to tell the truth he is in love w1th women. It is so in tense and so ungovernable 8 passion that it leads him into inextricable difficulties, and as a costly consequence he finds himself en gagged to three women all at once and in g very short while. He labors to get free, but in his futile attempts he becomes more in volved. To heighten the climax of his tribulations he is by mistake taken to private insane asylum from which he is finally rescued, and sll ends happily. MT. Raymond is too well known to the pub lie to require praise, and at all times has proven himself an artist of the highest re- pute in his profession. Tonight he will ap- pear in his great creation of "Col. Mulberry Sellers, " in Mark Twain's famous American sketch.
