Of the play and company the Waterbury Ameri- can of last Saturday says: " 'Frisnds' re- turned to the Jacques last night and re- ceived moro than ordinarily gracious wei come. The play was, as before, interesting. The cast was unchanged. At tho close of the almost mslo dramatic third act the company received . hearty curtain call. It
 was richly deserved, for the play was pre- sented in Q manner that calls for unstinted praise. The humor of the play was very agreeable. The principal roles in 'Friends' are taken by Selina Fetter-Royle, Edwin
 Milton Royle, the author; Lucius Tender son, Henry Bergman, E. D. Lyons, Harry
 Allen and Carrie Berg. In the second act
 MT. Henderson proved his ability as . pianist and received an encore. The audi ence was much larger in size than on the
 occasion of the first visit of the play" "Pop No. g." the last ono this season, VIII oo 8aso4 op shV AyRo43SA sO-AaoAAo" evening. The program is an excellent one

 The distinguished orator Robert G. In
 gersoll will deliver his free lecture on Abraham Lincoln next Wednesday even ing. A large sale of seats is indicated, from the demand. Colonel Ingersoll excels as Q eulogist of great men, and no great man in the list of those to whom he has paid his tribute of eloquence is more interesting to Americans than is Abraham Lincoln. Col onel Ingersoll eets forth the great enamel pator's claim to immortal fame in words that entrance and thrill his auditors.
