ADJUSTMENTS.

The knowing ones are already securing
sead 10 the Frank Beard entertainment.
The following is from the Brooklyn Eagle:
Frank Boards Chalk Talk. Ninety
minutes fun witnessing the celebrated
caricaturist's mimetic sketches of the
Tompkins avenue church last evening.
Mr. Frank Beard, the well known car
icaturist, lectured and chalked before
numerous assembly in the Tompkins Ave
nue. Congregational church, Wednesday
evening The title of his semi-lecture and
exhibition, Chalk Talk, conveys but an
indistinct idea OF the mirth-provoking en-
tertainment his apparently inexhanstihle
resources of memory and pencil enable
him TO place before the minds and visions
OF tn auience. During IL the time IL pretty
equally divided between chalk and talk,
chalk being necessary to Illustrate talk,
and talk essential to explain chaik-a sort
of mutually dependent Choetsw chalk
talk if the execrable pun may be par
doned.

| consider Madam Fannie Bloomfield
one of the greatest pianists of the day,
having heard her play at Columbus before
the state music teachers association, and
at Indianapolis before the national music
teachers association, where she electrified
inaI playing. Her playing alone would
more than compensate me for another trip
of similar nature: and no lover of music
should fail to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of hearing this great artist
