The tenth and last entertainment of
OF the Brockway course was given at
the Lyceum last evening to a large and
fashionable audience. The entertainers
were Van Veachton Rogers, harpist,
and Charles T. Grilley, recitationist.
Mr.. Rogers proved himself a thorough
master of the harp, the volume of tone
ELECTED and the crystalline clearness of
his arpeggios being remarkable. He
was especially successful in variations
upon the air "Old Black Joe," with
limitations of a banjo.
Mr. Grilley, who bears a strong facial
resemblance to Roland Reed, Is one of
the best entertainers that has ever ap-
peared in this city. He gave a num-
Der of recltations involving the por-
trayal of many different characters,
all of which he represented success
fully in voice and manner. The course
