New Years Ball-0ther Social Notes.

AS the wind whistled by the windows
of Arion Hall last night, it seemed to
only deepen and intensity the dramatic
intent within, and at times bold, fear
less tragedy held sway. 1t was the &C.
casion Of Shakspearean and Dramatic
Recital given by Mr.. Frederick Going,
OF New York, gentleman ofeenSlder-
able elocutionary ability, particularly
In the Sbakspearean scenes. There was
select and critical assemolage present
and the hall was comfortably filled. In
eluded in the notable array OF guests
were many of literary proclivities, and
not few we'll versed In the works OF
the immortal bard.
The recital was given under the pat

Mr.. Going started with part second OF
King Henry the Fourth.
The King. sleepless summons his ministers.
Uneasy lies the head that wears crown.
This was followed by scene fourth in
act fourth, and scenes third and fifth
in act fifth. In all Of these selections
Mr.. Going had an excellent opportunity
to show his range Of voice. While in
volume and force there appeared at
times o lack, in the mounting OF the
words there could be seen at all times
an intellectual grasp of the characters
assumed. Mr.. Going is blessed with q
splendid physique, and speaks with a
confidence and composure that was
refreshing. Musical In its cOlloquil
notes his voice at times seemed clouded
in sustained speech, and in emphatic
defamation by def cheney OF chest
power and evident rallying Of forces,
accompanied by peculiar ef-
fort of expulsion. But the luminous
intelligence Of his conception, the
vivifying, spiritual force, the artistic
precision of the acting, and certain
cogency Of indefnable passion that per-
meated certain Of the passages. redeem
ed the characterization. Particularly
was this true in the tent scene from
| "Jullus Caesar" In this selection Mr..
Going splendidly acquitted himself.
That old time selection OF Lew Wallace,
THE Chariot Race, from Ben Hur,"
was rendered with pleasing effect, al
though perhaps with not that vehe-
mence one is accustomed to hear 1t.
Perhaps 20 selection was enjoyed
more than the Fall Of Wolsey,
from Henry VIII. 1t was feel
ipcly rendered. Two humorous
pieces were interpersed with the more
serious ref ections, and they brought
forth considerable applause. Mr.. Going,
however, did not appear to excel IN the
dialect roles, although the piece as
whole was rendered very entertaining.
Altogether it was an evening pleasure
bly, and prOftably spent.
