NRs. SHAW w--coNGREGATioNAL CHURCH.
A large audience greeted Mrs. shaw, the
"whsiling prlma donna,n at the Cougrega-
tiona Church last night and the musical
whistler only increased the triumph she had
achieved on her first appearance. One great
merit Of Mrs. Shaw's performances is her con-
scientiousness She never slurs her work.
Tho low aud difficult notes are given with the
same cloarness a. the higher aud less difficult.
Mrs. shaw has not selected associates of indif-
fercnt merit TO serve as a foil, but has chosen

"llarbor Lights,n a melo-drama production
Of more than ordinary merit, entertained a
large audience at HAIRS Biiou Theatre last
! night. The attraction Is one Of the strongest
that has appeared at that house. II has re-
ceiyed tue most favorable notices from the
press In other cities, and the kindly comment
| appears 20 have been Justified
The cast Is strong one, each part receiving
careful aud intelligent attention. The part Of
Lieutenant kiRgacE the hero was well por-
trayod by Charles u. Welles. Miss Julia
Stuart was charming as Dora ldnc. The
company is large one and there are many
who are deserving of mention. There is no
reason why last nights large attendance
should not continue throughout the week
REBNAN's-RwiN BRos.' CONVERSATION.
The entertainment given at Kernan's last
night by the Irwin Bros Combination was
enjoyed by good house. There are good
things In the programme too numerous to
mention. Conspicuous among these are the
trapeze balancing foats OF Mr.. James Irwin.
Mr. Nash's fcats on the bicycle are truly won
derful.
