There was not as large an audience
present at Kotzschmar Hall last evening
| when Mr.. Hannibal A. Williams gave
the second and last of his subscription
| Shakesperian recitals, this time taking
! for his subject the well known comedy
Flaming of the Shrew,'' but it was an
aaiience that fully appreciated the lee
turer and evidently enjoyed the text
Mr.. Williams has evidently made many
admirers while here and tits not improb-
able that he will be heard in Portland
| again at no far distant day.
Portland Theatre.
Tonight will be the last opportunity to
see Professor Carpenter, the mesmerist,
at Portland Theatre. The professor has
large class of subjects now whose
movements, under the professors pow
er, are very amusing. Go tonight and
see him.
Monday night and every evening dur
ing the week Mora, with Williams S
Birds of A Feather Company, will APP
pear at Portland Theatre. Monday night
the bill will be 'sPretty POLL The
Hayerhill Gazette says:
1.-THE Mora Company are classed
among the leading attractions on the
! road this season, and decidedly the rep
resentative repertory company in this
part of the country. Their productions
are presented in very careful and
painstaking manner, which would do
credit to many of the more pretentious
| organizations. The special scenery
which has been used on the first two
nights is excellent, and her singing is
far above the ordinary, and her motto
song, ''Boys Make Men," was greeted
with deafenlng applause"
Mme Nordica and the Kneisel Quartette.
Mr.. stockbridge announced Amy Sher-
win as one of the attractions of the Reg
ular Course, but she has now decided
not to come to America this season. In
| place of that concert he has secured
| Nine. Nordica and the Kneisel Quar-
| tette, paying them more than twice as
! much as Amy Sherwin would have cost
| This is considerable improvement of
the course.
