—The Oates Comic Opera Troupe had a

ing on the occasion of the presentation of

didu’t bring its orchestra, Richardson’s or
chestra was engaged at tbe cantata and there
was no other orchestra in the city which
could play the music, so that ^be whole
opera was given with piano accompaniment
ouly. This was a serious drawback to a
performance which seemed to need as many
attractive surroundings as possible. Mrs.
Oates, of course, was vivacious and her sing
ing aud acting good. Henri Laurent fairly
filled the cast of leading support, but reaby
there was too great a lack of the comic until
the last two acts when W. Howell Seymour
came on tbe stage.
The Revival.
The revival meeting in Plymouth Church
last evening was attended by an audience
which nearly filled tbe church. A praise
service under the lead of Prof. B. D. Allen
preceded the regular exercises, which opened
with singing by the congregation of “Hold
Fast Till I Come.” Rev. W. T. Sleeper of
fered prayer, and Mr. and Mrs. McGranaban
sang “Have You Any Room tor Jesus?”
and “He will Hide Me.” Major Whittle of
fered prayer aud preached from Ephesians
ii :B—“For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourself, it is the gift
of God.” He used the Old Testament
story of King David’s kiudess to tbe
sou of Jonathau to illustrate God’s
mercy to man, and tbe doubt
in tue mind of Jonathan's son to show how
loth men are to accept God’s offer of salva
tion. As tbe son of Jonathan found when
he was brought into the presence of the
King that bis offers of mercy were real, so
we will find when we accept God’s promises
to us tbat there is joy unspeakable in tbe
religion of Jesus Christ* The audience sang
“Free from the Liw,” and were dismissed
with the benediction by Rev. Mr. Horr.
Meetings will be held today at Sa. m. at
Plymouth vestry; at 3p. m. Bible readiug
at* the First Baptist Church; at 7:30 this
eveuiug in Mechanics Hall, the sermon be
ing especially adapted to women, though
both sexes are invited. «•
Ruth the Moabitess.
Mr. Broad’s musical adaptation of the
poetical pastoral from scripture “Ruth the
Moabitess” was presented at Mechanics
Hall last evening, aud was highly successful.
Tbe costumes, scenes aud tbe tableaux were
throughout given with close attention to de
tail; tbe tableaux “Tbe Angels Charge”
and “Oriental Espousal” beiug very fine aud
heartily applauded. In “Ruth” Mrs. Kirby’s
costume was elegant and graceful and her
singing of “My Soul Doth Magnify the
Lord” was one of the best solos of the even
ing. Mrs. Jennie Patrick Walker as
“Naomi” sang with marked ease and ex
pression rendering "Tbe Secret of the I,ord”
with flue effect, and in her duet with the
"First Reaper” John N. Morse, Jr.
sang charmingly. Miss Carrie L. Nutting
did a very effective bit of acting as “Orpah”
iu tbe trio of tbe second part, which was
really oue of the best scenes of the evening.
Miss Anna Brierly,tbe "Israelitish Woman,”
aud Miss Agues Barry as tbe "Jewish
Maiden,” both were received with favor.
"Boaz” was impersonated by William
Thompson, and bis numbers included a
"Siumbel Song,” which was artistically ren
dered. Tbe cborus was all that could be
desired, aud many of their chorals were
given with flue effect, particularly the
“Reapers, Binders and Gleaners’ ” chorus
and "He that Goeth Forth and Weepeth.”
Tbe audience was a good sized one, consider
ing tbe outside attractions, and took every
thing io tbe same mauuer as Worcester au
dieuces generally do—as a matter of course.
Ticket Agents’ Reunion.
The New Englaud ticket agents subordin
ate to the Worcester General French Agency
of the Vermont Central railroad held a re
union at the office of the agency in Stock
well Block, Mechanic street, last evening.
The reunion is an annual occurrence aud^is

ing very modestly of himself but in terms of

pressed bis great personal regard for the
agents gathered about him, and especially of
Mr. Lallme the general agent in this city.
