Mrs. Lowells Recital.
Mrs. A. W. Lowells classes gave an
exhibition last evening at ,Kotzschmar
Hall that thoroughly delighted the audi
ence. The programme was long, but ev-
cry number was success. Many of them
have been referred to by us. from day TO
day for some time past. 1.-THE drills went
as if they were run by clock work, and
the living statuary was beautiful. The
several. groupings showed study and
taste, the oses were extremely strong,
the characters well chosen, and very
beautiful effects were produced by the
calcium lights. The pantomimes were
very amusing aud veryl lcleverly acted
"Tb Giddy Girl" was exoeedigly effec-
tive, and charming bit of action was
seen in the drapery movements by little
Mollfe, Sullivan, only five years old and
very small, but extremely winning. AL
together Mrs. Lowell has reason to be
pleased with the success of her enter
tailment, and the applause of the audi
ence showed that they thought SO too.
The Annex Entertainment.
Those who are not in attendance at the
Congress Square vestry this evening,
plays Barbara" and when Greek meets
Greek" are well written end have been
very carefully studied by the mem bers of
the respective casts. The members of
the Jeffersonians have marked dramatic
abilities, and always give good per-
formance. The best part of the whole
thing is, that they are working for char
ity, and as they are very popular, are
sure of a good attendance.

Notes.
Alexader Salvini will open his coming
engagement at the Hollis street theatre,
Boston, with Hamlet" His recent
debut in this. role in. PhiIadelphiaE was
SO we'll received, and as he Is said to have
excelled himself in the way it has been
staged, both as to the scenic effects and
artistic detail, his opening will be an
ticipated rs one of the notably "iirst
nights of the season.
Mr.. Mansfield is always delight. From
his New York theatre, decorated in
Pompeiian red and bronze, he sends
forth bugle blast that will arouse the
spirit of those who regard the present
stage as the abomination of desolation, a
blast that may ever cheer our pessimis-
tic brother Clapp. There will be no
old women with pasts at the Garriok, no
teacup philosophy and no hypnotisn, !"
says Mr.. Mansfield. Having thus neatly
disposed of the leading dramatists of
the day, Mr.. Mansfield announces his am
bition ito follow the model of the The
atre Franchise and have the company
elect their fellow memhers.n Here ia a
case where the Australian ballot would
have indisputa5le advantages.
