Wednesday next, at the Metropolitan
! Theater, Captain III. E. w. Campbell
| date U. S. Al of Philadelphia will give,
! for the association, his lecture on "Old
! Masters-Sculpture and Architecture"
| illustrated, we are assured, by the finest
colored views ever shown here, and pre-
sented with a Carl Beseler double-dis-
solving, high-pressure instrument The
subjects embrace the works of Raphael,
| Tintoretto, Rubens, Corregio, Michael
Angelo, Millet, Corot, Perugino. Land

Monitor and Merrimac. in which Captain
Campbell was a participant.
| The Seattle Telegraph of the latter
| lecture said that it was eloquent. thrilling
and full of information. Secretary j. II.
Culver of the Mechanics Institute, San
Francisco, has written to the Museum
Association saying that Mr.. Campbell's
| lecture was entirely satisfactory,
entertaining and instructive. Secretary
| j. Study Leigh, of the California Geo
graphical Society, says: ut was the most
captivating lecture heard on the coast"

| OF the art lecture the Portland Orc
gonidn said the views were the finest ever
shown there. the lecture a model of care
| full preparation, and its delivery graceful
| and easy The San Francisco Chronicle
said of it that sit was the best lecture of
the Mechanics Institute course, and the
| Olympia Capital pronounced it "a SYM
| phony of color and ennobling thought"
1t is announced that seats can be Sc
| cured at Purnelrs bookstore on and after
! Tuesday without extra charge. The rates
| for the lecture are low, and as the Museum
| Association has never presented anything
weak, its members hope for a crowded

/ good and popular education.

Life in London" will be played for the
| last night but one. 1t will be given
also at matinee this afternoon and for the
last time tomorrow night. Mr.. Dailey's
New York Stock Company thus closes
| the third week Of its season, and with
complete success. 1t has demonstrated
that a good company at low prices can
command good paying houses. The new
venture has been made at very heavy eX-
pense to both the local management and
| Mr.. Daley, since the scenery of the the
ater has to be mostly repainted, and dur
ing the weeks of muggy weather, gas
| light for that work has been a necessity,
which means heavy bill. Atthe same time
new faces have been added to the COM
pany and new features introduced. Next
week will be presented a thrilling melo-
drama, with entirely new scenery and
effects and with the full strength of this
finely balanced company in the cast.
The Metropolitan Theater was well
filled last night, the attraction being the
farce comedy ~ & T." This piece of
nonsense had been thrice played here, but
