be produced az the Turner Theatre next
Sunday evening The piece enjoyed 8
prosperous run of six months in New
York at the Academy of Music, and d
record breaking engagement Of five
months at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago,
and comes here heralded as one Of the
most realistic productions of melodrama
ever given in America. This claim
would appear to be borne out BY the de-
sciption Of the scenery provided, there
being no less than ten distinct scenes,
several of them of magnitude. a mass
i've production Of the ancestral home Of
the Earl Of Woodstock from the famous
painting, 1.-The Day of Reckoning" is
regarded as a MASTERPIECES of the scene
painters art. Then there is view Of
the Earl's Court Exhibition grounds,
showing the numerous booths, buildings
and amusement devices, all brilliantly
illumlnated; the interior of the National
Sporting Club, London, the boxes and
stalls occupied by scores of patrons Of
the manly art, all in evening dress; and
lastly, a splendid view of the EPSON
Downs race course on Derby day. There
are numerous other scenes Of lesser mag
nitude, but all admirably designed and
executed. In preparingthis production,
the management found it necessary to
make requisition upon the leading stu
| dos of New York, entailing great
outlay, but securing the benefit Of the
artistic genins of those distinguished
masters, Joseph Physioc, Ernest Albert,
Homer Emens and John Young. To
crowd 50 much diversity of scenery into
four acts neoessitates some of the most
rapid changes of scene ever witnessed.
and the amazing celebrity with which
these changes are made is one Of the
features Of the production. There is no
delay in the action of the piece, and. the
! lightning-like transportation of the spec
tator from one picture to another is said
to be startling. The producing compa-
ply is a capable one. s@}*s H. MIL
The Colored Concert Company which
appeared at the high school auditorium
on Saturday night as the first in the ser.
les of entertainments to be given by the
library board, was we'll patronized and
was very good, though not what might
be called first class nor what was expect
ed to come from bureau that is adver-
tised to send out only the best. The
disappointment was in the attempt OF
the colored people to undertake classi.
Cal work. In the dialect and the simple
airs they were all right and pleased the
people, 1t was what the audience ex.
pected. *; The reader was the best and
the violinist was only medium. Coloret
people have ceased to be novelists be.
fore the people and they have to be ex.
ceptionally fine to receive credit when
they get out of the dialect and ape the
whites in something of a different order

Saturday evening, by colored people
would have been considered remarkable
but those days are passed, aud stand
ard of excellence has been fixed, which
is no less than that for the whites.
/ Gideon's Minstrels, that famous banc
Xof colored artists appeared at Turner hall
on Sunday night and gave one Of theil
1 best entertainments. Il was without 8
question the best thing of its kind tina
has been here since the same compan,
played here last year. They we'll deserve
the name Of comedians, for they are al
that the name implies. They have thei
own band and it is an exceptionally goot
one. in fact throughout they are al
artists. It is the one place in which tn.
colored person appears to advantage be
fore the public. It was unfortunate tina

balcony was full but the lower and high
er priced seats did not sell well. TIL
