for him, and crowded house was pres
ent last night 10 greet him. Mr.. II. Is.
Owen, one of the prominent officers OF
the institute, presented the Lieutenant
to the audience in complimentary terms.
The speaker gave evidence OF the pos
session of a vast amount of information,
and all OF his illustrations and expert
ments were good, while several awoke
enthusiastic applause. The interest taken
IN the Burton heater showed that the
community reioices in the success that
seems now to have come to our Rich
mond inventor.
TIE LECTURE.
Lieutenant Green began by telling the
audience about the discovery of the
dynamo in 1921 by Faraday, an English
electrician. From this he went on to
show how it was put into practical use
for lighting purposes. He described the
big central stations In large cities and the
difference between the arc and the in
candescent light, and then talked about
the electric motor-which is simply the
converse of the dYnamo-explainlng its
enormous field for power purposes in
the commercial world how it has sprung
into use throughout the country, and in
conjunction with lights, is beng ma
nipulated at all the central stations, be-
ing source of day revenue, as the lights
are a sort of night payer.
MOTORS.
Lieutenant Green also dwelt upon the
use of the electric motor and the many
advantages it possesses. He spoke in
particular Of the adaptation OF the motor
for street-car work. giving detailed ac-
count of the successful working here of
the Union Passenger road, with the aid
of a map which he showed.
Some experiments with a standard
motor were made. The Lieutenant ran
one motor as a motor and another rs y
dynamo. They were exactly alike, and
the motor run as q dynamo worked to
furnish current for four of the Burton
heaters and also five incandescent lamps.
TRANSMISSION
The lecturer next described the trans
mission OF power by electricity over long
distances, a practice which is coming
generally into use and has aH enormous
future before 1t. He showed how by
stringing two wiresone-, two, orfve-hun-
dred-horse power can be transmitted
over distances Of from five to ten miles,
using in many cases hitherto inaccessible
water-power for running the prime gene
ratOrs.
DE PREF 5 EXPERIMENT.
The de prpZ eypprimeutS with long
distance transmission was next referred
to, and thespeaker described the mining
plant recently established at Big-Bcnd
tunnel, in California, where l2j-horse
power is transmitted over eighteen miles,
and is being utilized over nine miles OF
the distance for the purpose OF pumping
dry the pools found in the bed of the
river, so that tine sand containing large
quantities Of gold-dust can be washed.

MANSFIELD. JEKYLL. AND HYDE
a Letter from the AcfOT-The Per
fOrmance Last Nighf.

In the following communication Mr..
Mansfield gently upbraids the Dispatch
for its criticism yesterday Of the trans
formation scene
RICHMOND, April 13, 1888.
Dear Sir,--I am very sorry to hear
that the lights were too low last night,
and that consequently the stage during
the scenes of Hyde was not clearly visi-
BILE. | should have been greatly in
debted to YOU had you been good enough
to send me word to that effect, and the
fault would have been Immediately
remedied.
1t Is almost impossible upon one re-
presentation of an Intricate play to
Judge in strange theatre of the effects ;
ami we labor under many difficulties
both as to tine lighting and the handling
of scenes. I am not likely to be III
Richmond for some seasons to come,
and should be very sorry TO 60 from
here without its friendship and endorse
mont. | viii attend to it that the lights
are sufficiently high on Saturday night,
and trust you Will let me know if they
are so.
Please believe me to be, dear sir, your
very obedient servant,
RICHARD MANsFIELD.
COMEDY LAST NIGHT.
Mr.. Mansiield's own comedy, Mon
sieur, was played last night to the ac-
compartment OF continuous laughter and
enthusiastic applause, and he was recalled
many times. His little play is exceed
ingly brghtaud entertaining, and his own
personation OF Audrc Rossni Maris &c
Jadot was a gem of quaint and humorous
character portrayal. Mr.. Mansfield las
a remarkably strong company. Miss
Cameron as alice Was tcuderand woman
ly, Miss Bennett very funny as be-
grimed servant girl, and Mrs. Laurens
most amusing as the wife of the parvenue
millionaire. Mr.. Pany's young English
swell, Mr.. Harkins as Ezra Golden, and
Mr.. Sullivan as the practical young
American were thoroughly good. The
musical drol.eries introduced 10y Mr..
Mansfield were much enjoyed.
There are but two more opportunities
to witness the finished performances OF
Mr.. Mansfield and his admirable com
pany. At the matinee to-day a Pa
risian Romance, in which Mr.. Mansfield
created "a sensation Wednesday night 10y
his wonderful acting as tho Baron
Cheyral. Tonight the notable engage
ment closes with "A repetition OF "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hide, for which the ad-
vance sale is very large indeed.
Mr.. Mansfield goes to London to act
at Henry lrving's Lyceum Theatre next
fall, and on his return will appear only IN
New York, Boston, Chicago, and Phiia-
delphia.

CAPTAIN AINSDIE.

Captain Anslo. after a few pleasant
remarks by vay OF introduction. said be
regarded an Office os public tust, aud
the occupant was responsible to the
people. IN old times he was president
OF the Marshall Ward Club and fifty
years ago he went to school on Church
Hill 1t is the pretties. part Of the city.
and on Libby Hill should have been
erected the Lee Monument, where every
body would have seen it. Atany rate the
East End of the city was the most pro-
grossiye. He presented himself before
the people as a candidate, and If he
were elected, would give the duties
of the Office his undivided attention.
Mr. Carter made a brief speech, in
which he said that in presenting himself
as a candidatefo for City Collector he could
not forget the honor which had been
twice conferred upon him 10y being sent
as q delegate to the Legislature, and that
if elected he would strive to DO his duty
10 the city.

Ellyson entered. calls were then made
