liberal applause. There will be matine e

J. M. Hutchings, at the Congregational
Church last evening, exhibited his Higher
Sierra Views to good audience, accom-
panying the exhibition by an instructive
and pleasantly delivered descriptive lecture.
The views are shown upon yery large
screen by powerful double oxycalcium
light. The pictures are brilliant, clear and
altogether the best ever shown here by a
similar process. They are very many in
number, and are rapidly exhibited. Mr..

nearly two hours, and was often and
warmly applauded. Next 10 visiting the

At the Metropolitan Theater last evening
a good audience welcomed the return, of
the Mendelssohn Quintet Club. The pro-
gramme was given as heretofore an
nounced except that Miss RYAN did not
appear, owing to Illness The quintet
members 50 thoroughly sustained their
parts that none of the audience had cause
for complaint. The Evening Song" ad.
mirably adapted to the ciarionet, was
rendered sympathetically throughout its
varying changes by Mr.. Ryan, who PLAYED
at his best though complaining of
"draughts,' that perhaps could have
been remedied had he looked after
the stage openings closely prior
to the opening of the concert,
Herr Hekking. with his grand violoncello
solos, delighted every auditor, as on the
occasion of his first appearance here. He
received encore upon encore, and responded
freely. The Mcneil Club concluded the
first part of the programme with the stir
ring yet pleasant Soldiers Farewell
sung in admirable voice and in harmony
with the elevated character of this magnifi-
cent song. The members of the club were
heartily received, and disappointment
was apparent that more from them was
not obtainable. The Pirates Chorus
was rendered later in the evening with great
energy, in which the club were finely as
sisted by Mrs. John McNeill, who sang in
excellent voice, and perhaps has not before
made stronger impression. Not to par
ticularize further, it may be confidently
said that the general sentiment regarding
the entertainment was one of the most
pleasing and approving of the season.
