Mr.. James Young was given a
good hearing last night in his re-
eital from Hamlet" nearly all the
| members OF the Shakespeare Club
being in the audience. In his por-
| trayal OF the character of Hamlet
the work Of Mr., Young was much
better than has Shylock the night
before. This is part that seems
| admirably adapted TO Mr. Young,
| and his Interpretation of the role
/ showed that he had thorough con-
ceptIon OF this great character, He
possesses to an unusual degree the
faculty Of clothing his mind with
what he conceives TO be the mental
| attributes Of the character he por-
trays. That his work last night
met the appreciation of his audience
was attsstsd by the frequent ap-
plause which was accorded him.
Asa prelude to Mr.. Young's en-
tertainment Mrs. Carter charmed
| the audience with a number of
songs. Mrs. Carter is a talented
singer and each appearance she
made was the signal for gen erous
| applause. After resting few days
from her work at the Chautauqua
Mrs. Carter will go to St. Louis to
give concerts at the Texas building

| fore the Chautaaqua was in CON

renewed aud many new acquaint-
