choleric, raging Hotspur merely. but the
intelligent Hotspur, feeling all he mani
| tested and more, and moved more by
motion creditable to human nature than
| by rage over wrongs he believed to have

! Henry was an admirable assumption and
fine foil TO Mr.. Lindsley's Hotspur. 1t
was throughout fine performance, and,
| though long. the interest was sustained to
| the end. This afternoon "Richelieu" will
| be given at o'clock. The company's
strength and capacity will be all given to
the production 10 the full easure of the
needs Of the play, and they are by no
means few or weak. This evening this
| fine dramatic company will make its last
appearance here. 1t Will be the last, too,
of Mr.. Warde and Mr.. James on the same
stage in California, as each next season
makes up his own company. The play
will be ''Richard Ill" 1t is cast to Sc
cure a frst-class production, and
there will be neither abridgement
of the acting edition of the
| play, nor haste to conclude it because
this is the last night; on the contrary,
! completeness and fullness is assured.
Mr.. Wards management never has de-
ceived the public in representations. 1t
! is the request of the management that
late-comers will attempt to be first
! corners tonight, as for the proper pro-
ducton of the play it must begin at S

AT the Clunie Opera-house this after
noon for a matinee and tonight and to-
morrow night for the last time the thrill

will be the final evenings in this city of
the Higgins w Waldron Company. The
troupe leaves with regret, and certainly
with the good will and esteem of the
community.
Some 500 people assembled yesterday
afternoon in the Congregational Church
to hear Frederick Warde lecture on
shakespeare and His Plays" 1t was
! Mr.. Warde's generous contribution to
the School OF Design, which is just now
! celebrating its tenth anniversary. 1t is
| safe TO say that not one of the 800 persons
| present was lacking the enthusiasm of
eOngratulation that he or she had at
| tended, such an intellectual and dramatic
| treat was the entertainment. The pro-
gramme began with the overture TO
| midsummer Nights Dream" by Men
| delssohn, played by Professor Wander
! hoof and MIR. NOack, violinists, Mr..
Neale, hutist, and Mr.. Lewis, 'celloist. 1t
was an artistic, delicately played work,
and won deserved and appreciatiye ap
plause. Messrs. Cohen and Longbottom,
| tenors, and Bentley and Crocker, bassos,
sang from "As You Like IT, Under the
| Greenwood Tree" and the hunting song
"What Shall He Have Who Killed the
Deer" Both were given with spirit and
| Intelligence, and well Interpreted the
| thought of the immortal dramatist who
penned the words. Mrs. Frances
MOeller presided at the organ as ac-
companist, and also played the wedding
1 Il rbf1o
Dream" with discriminating taste and
brilliancy of execution. All these
musicians volunteered and prepared the
musical entertainment at much personal
sacrifice, in order TO manifest the kindly
spirit they entertain toward the School of
| Design.
At the conclusion of this charming
musical Introduction, Mr.. Warde was in
trOduced by the President of the Cali
fornia Museum Association. who re-
turned to the distinguished tragedian the
thanks of the public Tor his generous
offer in behalf of the school, which is a
Sacramento institution OF which the city
is proud, and the scheme and usefulness
of which it is SO desirable shall be ampli-
fed, as it will be.
Mr. Warde spoke for two hours and
few moments over, and held his audi
ence with perfect ease. Indeed, few re-
allied the length OF time taken, so ab-
sorbed were the people in the brilliant,
scholarly and dramatic effort of the ora
tor. 1t was one OF the most remarkable
rostrum efforts ever made in this city. at

analytical, pathetic, poetic and Oraturi-

dramatlsts.
To attempt to give in any ordinary
space an adequate idea of the mastery
work would be to fail. 1t must suffice to
say that the lecture was divided into 81 <
parts, first OF Shakespeare the man, his
youth. manhood and career: second an
analysis OF dramatic art and its relation
to the other arts, and its value as a moral
force properly conserved: third, the
dramatic element in human nature:

Mr. Warde will leave Sacramento in
few hours, but he leaves behind him

ated as 1t was with good advice and
sound teaching to youth, and permeated
by such pure moral philosophy, will for
