Miss Irwin ap- peared last night at the New National in a farce known as “Sister Mary,” although any other name in Christendom would have "is the work fitied Just as well. The “pic ‘of Glen MacDonough, who must not have over-exerted himself. The vehicle for Miss Irwin need be but a very light affair—not literally speaking, of course—as it is her personality the people want, and they are happy only when she fs on the stage; which is most of the time. Miss Irwin knows the line of work that suits her best and hes the good, hard, common sense to stick to it. I: is sincerely to be wished she wil! not be infected with the tendency of the times and essay Jullet. The farce gives her all opportunity and iatitude to entertain the audience in her own way, and this she docs admirably. In each of the three acts she brings out good :ongs. In the second sec- tion there fs a cakewalk to an insidious tune that rings in the ear Jong after the final curtain. ‘The company is a large one and quite capable, several excellent spe- clalties being {ntroduccd. The audience filled the theater. THE NEW GRAND.—A slight figure of medium height, with a funny, deprecating little bob of the head as she comes on the stage, and a shy, amateurish manner, was what the audience at the New Grand saw last night after the applause with which it greeted the appearance of Cissie Loftus, the English mimic. She can hardly be said to have an impressive stag> presence. After all the noise made about her, she was disappointing as she stood waiting for the flourish of the orchestra and the greeting of the people to ceas>, But once an .fmi- tation was begun all shyness and self- consciousness disappeared. The girlish fig- ure became a woman's. The sweet little tones of her voic> became full and flexible. A wonderfully correct ear was disclosed, with an equally wonderful abiltty to realize the conception. Ada Rehan, Fay Temple ton, Letty Lind, Chauncey Olcott, Julius Steger, Edna May, Dan Daly and Sara Bernhardt were presented and each was rapturously applauded. The last named imitation was so realistic as to make one forget that it was merely a copy. Miss Loftus showed her sense of the comic in her portrayal of Letty Lind’s Imitation of Cissie Loftus’ imitation of Letty Lind. It w given immediately after the original Imitation and was intensely ludicrous. The cheering was prolonged when Miss Loftus retired. Besides Cissie Loftus there are some highly entertaining acts on the pro- gram. Th: “Great Goldin” executes some feats of legerdemain and presents a mys- terlous disappearance that is actually a mystery. The three Murray brothers play musical selections and include considerable laughable nonsens>. The four Dawsons— two adults and two children—appear in dances. The smallest member of the quar- tet caught the house. Miss Marion John- son, sister of Prof. Victor H.

The three Mortons failed to appear and the au- dience would not hay: mourned if Mason and Francis, the Rube and the Soubrette, had followed suit. Kriesel's dog and mion- key exhibition, comprising a number of time-tried yet always entertaining feats, concluded the performance. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—There fs action and music almost to a superflucus degree in Cole and Johnson's ‘A Trip_to Coon- town" at the Academy of Music. The show, taken as a whole, Is one of the best of Its kind, and {t opened to good business. The official title of the farce is "The Famous Vaudevilleated Musical Comedy,” and there are few features that should be “4 nated” from it. There is a ttle too much dialogue at times. But in the main ft Is carried on with spirit, and only at rare in- tervals becomes tiresome. The specialties, although introduced without apparent rea- son, are all meritorious. Among those that deserve special mention in this line are the Coontown Sextet; Carter and Hillman, the Bowery Speilers: Edna Alexander, soprano; the Freeman Sisters, acrobatic dancers; and. Johnson; Sam Cousins, mono- ; Lieyd G. Gibbs, tenor; Thomas ig. basso, and Bob Cole in 8; (01 pon songs.

Another lecture will be given this ternoon at 4:15 o'clock. ENGLISH CATHEDRAL TOWNS.—In the third of her “Travel Talks,” given at the Wimodaughsis last evening, Miss Pitts made the circuit of the distinctively cathe- dral cities, beginning with Durham, moving down the east side of England, proceeding around the southern coast and up the west side, ending with Chester. The lecture opened with some preliminary remarks upon the national characteristics of English church architecture, contrasting them with corresponding examples in France, and mentioning the most salient features that distinguish the various styles successively predominant In Engiand from the Norman conquest down to the reformation. The prominent individual peculfarities of the most noted cathedrals were pointed out and their traditions recalled, together with the historical and other associations of the towns In which they are located, as York and Lincoln, which were important Roman cities; Ely, with its memories of Hereward the Saxon: Canterbury, the cradle of En- Rllsh Christianity, and Rochester and Its vicinity, the home of Dickens’ later years and the scene of many incidents in his writings. The subject of the lecture next Monday evening will be “What to See in London.” ——— Spring Flowers at 50c. dor. Tulips and Jonquils, in all colors, at 50c. doz. A flower treat unusual.

Driving through a funeral procession was the charge upon which George Gray and William Cole were arraigned in Judge Scott's court this morning. The defendants were arrested at Florida avenue and 7th street yesterday afternoon. The report in the case was made,in court by the under- taker. fle alleged that considerable trouble is experienced at funerals because of cars and vehicles going through processions, and unless something is done, he said, the time will soon come when a continuous funeral in this city will be impossible.
