Prov. G. Lodge Of Devonshire
The brethren afterwards marched in procession to the Parish Church of St . Mary , where divine service took place . The sermon was preached by tho Provincial Grand Chaplain , Bro . the Rev . W . J . Down , who took for bis text St . Paul's words , " Bear ye ouo another ' s burdens
and so fulfil the law of Christ , " from iho Eptstlo to the Galatians , chap , vi ., verse 2 . In opening his discount ' , the reverend brother defined St . Paul aa a practical Christian . The burdens that practical Christians had to bear were not merely thoso of tho fallen or the erring .
St . Paul must have had a wider field in view when be penned the words of the text . Ho must have been thinking of the burdens whioh sooner or later fall upon every shoulder ; the burdens whioh came to them as men ; those burdens whioh seemed to be a necessary part of man's
present life of probation . Those , also , were the burdens whioh their own Brotherhood of Freemasonry sought iu the measure of its capacity to remove . He quoted the words of a Masonio writer , who said " The love of the true Mason was ever ready to bestow , was by no means
confined to his own Brotherhood . He delighted to whisper peace to the troubled mind wherever he found it ; to mourn with those . who mourned , as well as to rejoice with those who rejoiced was to him the highest of all possible enjoyments . When affliction needed his aid , and the
oppressed his interference , then the best feelings of his life were called out . " Those words , ho said , were so true as to almost warrant them regarding them as the motto of their Craffc .
After service the brethren returned to the Corn Exchange , where the dnties of the Provincial Grand Lodge were resumed , aud on the completion of the work tho brethren dined at the Swan Hotel , under tho presidency of the Provincial Grand Master .

Adelphi . —Ifc has been left fco Messrs . 6 . R . Sims and Robert Buchanan to iufcrodnco an originality in fche present * day style of melodrama , and in their latest prodnotioo , "The Trumpet Call , " fche theme of fche piece , is certainly different ; from fche usual drama . When the curtain goes up we find the hero and heroine already married ; it will thus be seen that the start ; is different from the ordinary run ,
while fche most astonishing feature is , there is no villain ; no man fco wreck the happiness of the loving coaple ; no scoundrel to plot and scheme for the rain of both hero and heroine ; only a man who , with good motives , persuades the heroine to marry him while she loves her husband , from whom she is separated , and who she believes to be dead . This is a welcome change , and we are happy to say the drama
ii none the worse for fche deviation from fche stereotyped style . The authors have done their work in a painstaking and workmanlike fashion , raising themselves to fche more exciting situations wifch skilful hands , and enlivening the piece with some amusing comedy . The firsfc act is full of exciting incidents ; it shows us how fche hero has married again , believing his first wife to be dead ,
and how fche latter turns np fco be the dark shadow of fche play . Of oonrse a separation most follow between hero and heroine , and this eads up fco the barrack yard scene , whioh is mosfc interesting and pathetic . Later on we are shown tho East End Doss House , in whioh excitement is worked up to fche highest pitch . This scene is most realistic ; there is nofc man better able to write a scene
of this description than Mr . George R . Sims ; his vast knowledge of how the poor of Loudon manage to live stands him in good stead here . The finish of the play is strong , and the scene at the Chapel Royal , Savoy , is well worked np . Right through fche piece bright sparkling comedy is supplied by a Professor Ginnifer and bis daughter , aided by Tom Dutton ; these three are most amusing . The
drama is admirably staged . Mr . Leonard Boyne has a splendid parb as the hero , bufc on fche night of our visit this gentleman was too unwell to appear ; so his understudy , Mr . Royston Keith , gave us opportunity of seeing how he conld acquit himself . This he did in truly artistic style ; Mr . J . D . Beveridge is admirably suited as Sergeant-Major Milligan , while Mr . Lionel Rignold scored heavily
as the Professor . Mr . Charles Dalton makes an attractive lover in the wrong cause , and Mr . Richard H . Douglass , aa Tom Dutton , is one of the successes of fche piece . Messrs . Howard Russell , Arthur Leigh , and James East are careful in their respective parts . Miss Elizabeth Robins gives a mosfc interesting and pathetic rendering of the heroine ; she never falters , aud scores afc every possible
opportunity . Mrs . Patrick Campbell , as the hero ' s first wife , certainly surprised ns . Thia lady gave a striking interpretation of the part ; indeed , nothing could be better . Miss Clara Jecfcs is amusing as Lavinia Ginnifer , while Mrs . H . Leigh is bright as Mrs . "Wicklow , afterwards Mrs . Ginnifer . Little Daisy Stratton is a
pretty child actress , and was soon a favourite . As nana ) , the scenery here is magnificent , and Messrs . Brnce Smith and W . Hann are to be congratulated . The incidental music has been composed by Mr . Henry Sprake . In conclusion , we feel sure it will bo a long time before the Messrs . Gatti will need to look for another play fco follow "The Trumpet Call . "

Opera Comiqua . —Mr . Edward Compton , who is favourably known in the theatrical world as an earnest and talented young actor , has now undertaken the management of this theatre , and haa commenced his season with a new play in four acts , entitled " The American . " The author ia Mr . Henry Jumos , who has founded the piece npon hia novel of the same name , whioh has enjoyed a oon .
si-ierable amount of public favour . Tho play ia brilliantly written , though rather lacking in stage construction , especially in the final act . The yonng manager takes the burden of the piece upon his shoulders , and certainly presents a neat and finished performance aa Christopher Newman , leaving nothing to be desired . Miss Elizabeth Robins also achieves success in the unsympathetic oharaoter of the Comtoase
de Cintr-S , and Miss A . Dairollea plays with much charm of manner the ooqupittish Noemie Nioohe . Misa Bateman , of "' Leah" fame , has few opportunities of showing her talent as the wicked Marquise de Bellegarde , bnfc does that littlo well . Mr . 0 . Blakiston is good as the Connfc de Bellegarde , while Mr . Young Stewart , Mr . Sydney
Paxton nnd Mr . C . M . Hal lard sustain their respective characters wifch no littlo skill . The play is mounted in excellent taste , and the theatre itself looks bright and comfortable . Additional exits have been made , and the irritating " fee system " ia relegated to fche theatrical limbo . Good luck fco Bro . Compton .
