'AMUSEMENTS..

Miss Anna Eva Fay.--Miss Anna Eva
Fay, the spiritualist medium, mystified
quite large audience at the Academy OF
Music last night. Her work. as on the pre-
vious Sunday evening, was divided into
four parts, the first two being in the cabi-
ret, the third outside the cabinet and the
fourth en- the open. lighted stage. A COM
mittee of three was chosen as judges,
Messrs. Ben McCauley, James Monroe and
Howard Graham. Her tests were difficult,
and, although of the usual character, were
performed in such manner as to mystify
the judges and the audience. Her mind
reading, or mental telegraphy, was very
wonderful, and she entertained her audi
ence fer while by reading what they had
previously written on scraps of paper and
then put i'll their pockets.
The Pythian Fair.-The Pythian fair,
which has been in progress for two weeks
PAST in Odd Fellows Hall, will be brought
to a close this evening with an auction sale,
Messrs. Miller, Heisley and Whiting, men,
bers of the order, officiating as auctioneers.
Bidding is to commence at o'clock and
continue until every article is disposed of.
A son of Police Lieut.. McCathran won the
bicycle offered to the person securing the
largest number of votes.
The Yale Glee Club Concert.-The concert
by the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs at Met
zerott Music Hall this evening promises TO
in that line. An excellent program is as
sured, and the long list of patronesses in
cludes some of the best-known society
ladies of Washington. The Yale clubs are
always well patronized when they make
their appearance here and the sale of seats
has already shown that this will be no eX-
ception to the rule.
The New Wcman."-Rev. George Edward
Reed, D. D.. LII D., the president of Dick
inson College, will deliver a lecture on
1.-THE New Woman a WaSlav
ner 9TH and F streets northwest, this even
ing at o'clock. Mr.. Reed is an entertain
ing speaker, and the fitness of the subject
to the times is sure to attract large audi
cree, especially the ladies.
The Ordway Rifles Fair.-The Ordway
Rifles fair opens tonight at Naval Lodge
Hall, corner of ith street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast. There will be special
attractions every evening, besides dancing,
while many special contests will add in
terest to the outcome of the venture. A
sword is to be voted for, to go to the most
popular officer of the High School Cadet
regiment, and many other articles are on
the list for those who desire to run for
them. Invitations will be. extended to all
the military companies of the District, be-
sides number of the civic organizations
of the city, and this will insure a crowd
every evening. The Ordways have MANY
come forward and attend to the financial
end of the affair.
Mr.. Lackaye's Svengali.-The friends of
Mr.. Wilton Lackaye in this city feel highly
gratified at the great success he has at
tanned in the character of Svengali, in Paul
Potter's dramatization of Du Maurier's s
''rrilby." All the Boston papers are lavish
in their praise of Mr.. Lackaye's work,
placing it on a level with the greatest crea-
tions of Henry Irving in its artistic finish,
while in its realistic vitality, its power to
enchain the attention of an audience and to
thrill them by its intensity, is said to sur
pass any effort that the great English actor
ever made. Mr.. Lackaye is Washington
ian, and during his career upon the stage
has probably created more parts than any
other man of his years in the profession.
His latest creation of SvengaH appears to
be the crowning effort of his artistic work.
Miss May Blossoms Benefit-The sale of
seats for the testimonial benefit to Miss
May Blossom, which is to take place to-
morrow evening at Wizards Hall, is pro-
crossing rapidly. Among the talent Sc
cured are Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, Mr.

pleasing songs and dances, some in con-
junction with Mr.. Ed Bowman.
