For months poat, tho anuouncemonts have gone forth, Bunday, that this or thnt church would be act apart as a templo for divino worship, In this way, the Now Englond, St. Michael, Firat Mothodist, Charch of the Messiah, Sceond Presbytorian, St. Paul's, and othor new churches have failon {nto line, and havo been solomnly dedieated to Almighty God. » ‘To-day is tho time sot for tho opening of tha chupel of Trinity Episcopal Church. Work be- gan on it last summor, and niso on the main body of the now church building, It hns pro- grossod without hindiance to the prosent time, which finds the chapel completed and the main room almost rendy for the raof. It is proposed to finieh the remaining part by Easter, at which timo thio golemn couseeration of poth chapel and church will tako place, It will then be among tho finest churches in Ohicago, mnd, as tho architocture is pure Gothie, with clegant stono trimmings and tracery for all tho windows, and tho ceiling one mass of immouse archos, it will stand alone amoug other buildings dovoted to religiona purposes as the **Church of Archea.” DESCRIPTION OF THE CITAPEL. 1t is situnted on the corner of Michigan avenue and Tiwonty-sixth street, in tho rear of tho main building, with the grand entrauce from Tiventy-sixth stroet.

Matters have boen at sixes and sovens. The ro- sult.could not Lave boon n more incongruous ono if all the amusemonts biad beon shaken in a hat, and the threo thentres allowed to draw, The plays could not bave fallen upon less ap- propriato stuges than they did, and Forinno, in- stond of tho munngers, would buve boon to blame. As it is, woe have had Lotts at McVick- er's, tho Thompsons at the Acadomy of Music, and an sator of unusual sbility, in a play which hos run for over 800 nights in England and 100 in Now York, at tho Globo. This invert- ing of the provrictics was not attended by auy romarkablo results, oxcept at tho last-namoed theatro, whoro the consequeuces were atartling aliko to ster and audieuces, The prospect for next weok I8 very bright, and we must. hold our souls in patience. Sothern will bo playiug at tho Academy, and Hooleys company will Lave & now pieco. ' VICKER'S THEATRE, Lotta has ended tho second week of her en- gogement at MoVicker's Thertre, aud has but one more to stsy. Monday evon- ing sho opened with “O0ld London,” a drama which possessos no merits, sho enacting the part of Dick Wastral, which is a highly impos- aiblo oue, Why sho plays so unworthy a piece, with 8o littlo fn it congonial to her bright, viva- clous nature, is as great a puzzle as the fact that peoplo care to soolt, **01d London™ was kept on until Fridey night, when s change was made, Considoring tho unplessant drizzlo that insisted upon coming down that ovening, there was o vory large audience, whon Lotin appeared in “Tho Littlo Detective,” BSho played the somo parts—thoro aro six of thom—in thiy city beforo, and thero wus o dim recollection thut sho Lind ?ln.\‘oll them well. Thoss who wout with expactations of something good, wero not disappotnted. Of courso, tho play a8 a play amounts to very hitle. Itisa jumble of im- probabilities and 1congruities, but thoero are some funny opisodes, and Lottu throughiout was at bor hest, With the oxception of overacting when she persouated the old uuree, she was ex- collout from bogins % to end. I'ho chauge from #0ki London™ to **"The Little Detective” wua an 1mprovemont in overy way, and yestorday uf- tarnoon aud eveniug sha played to large sudi- ences, The cast was gonerally oxcollont;and the mounting flue, Her last weok will be devoted to “ Zip," u now drawa, which hus beon spokien of by Hastern critics a4 superior to auy other in her ropertolre.
