KERNAN's LYCEUM THEATER.-
There is little to complain of in the per
Iormance given at kernans this week. 1t
Is In reality double show for two sepa-
rate companies. one white, the other col
oreo, presenting an entertainment that Is
entirely satisfactory. 1t is Flynn and Sher-
loans Big Sensation Company. Large au-
diences at both performances yesterday
were on hand, and the colored contingent
IN the gallery was overlooking. A sensa-
t1onal opening Introducing both companies
was the nrst thing on the program, and
curing the twenty minutes devoted to 1t
the strength of both companies was pre-
sented. A colored cake walk, headed by
the winners of the Madison Square Garden
walk closed the first part. Then came the
oifo, introducing Gordon and Hughes SOU

witty interchange of snappy dialogue.
Marion and Pearl took some time to get
acquainted but finished favorites. The

dikers, closed the show. Tonight a local
coiored couple will compete in the cake
walk for the $50 prize
THE GREAT QUARTET SUNDAY
NlGHT.-Those who attended the ensemble
recital of the artists Ysaye, Marteau, Ger
ardy and Lachaume last Friday will well
come the announcement that the quartet
returns for another recital Sunday evening
at the Columbia. Washington has never
had concert more artistic or satisfactory
from every point of view, and, If the ap-
plause from the audience indicated any
thing, more pleasing, and it is probable that
all who were present will again attend. The
concert for Sunday evening Is advertised
at popular prices, which will doubtless
attract many. The program will be new,
and the young cello player, Jean Gerardy,
will give a solo. This will prove of de-
cided interest and add much to the ensem-
Bile. Seats are now selling at Guzman's.

THE HOFFMAN, RECITAL-Josef Hof-
mann returns to the Columbia for his sec
ond recital Tuesday afternoon, April rs, at
4:1o. The impression left by this young
artist after his first recital has resulted in
a large demand for seats for the coming
recital. In fact the number of requests
for another appearance resulted in his re-
turn. Hoffman, is undeniably an artist OF
the first rank, and the many lavish things
that have been said Of him have not in any
way been colored. Seats are selling at
Guzman's, in E. F. Droop 6, Sons
