Curtis. SATURDAY evening's review of the Twenty-third Regiment by Brigadier-General James McLeer, temporarily in command of the State guard, was one of unusual interest, for there were not only the usual military maneuvers attendant upon a review, but this was followed by a wall-scaling exhibition, an admirable drill in the Butts manual by the members of Company under Captain Praeger, and the presentation of prizes and trophies to companies and individuals. Colonel Edward Earl Britton presented the brigade and State prizes, while the gold medal and the Oliver aggregate medal, the first for the best individual score by a member of the regiment and the second for the best shooting at the State and brigade matches, which were won by Major Wells and Captain Napier, respectively, were presented by General Barnes with a felicitous speech.

The soloists at the concert were Miss Elise Lehrenkrauss, soprano, daughter of Mr. Julius Lehrenkrauss, one of the prominent members of the society, who appeared for the first time in public, and Mr.

Steinbruch, who played one of his own compositions -as a violin solo, to which Mrs. Elh Steinbruch furnished the piano accompaniment. Dancing followed the concert. OWING to a change in the management of Pay ton's Fulton Street Theater, the Boys' High School play, "A Night Off," will take place at the Amphion on Friday evening, May thirteenth.

Succeeding rehearsals will be devoted' to securing thp delicacy of finish and the variety of expression for which the society has been so noted, and this fact, coupled with the announcement by Mr.

James Downs, the conductor, that the program will be of even higher tone than those usually offered by the society, is a guarantee that the concert will be one of large musical importance. The special feature of the evening will be the rendering of the Kyrie, Sanctus and Benedictus from Spohr's Mass, a stupendous work, written in fifteen parts. The society will also be heard in spring music, part-songs and madrigals and will be assisted by Hans Kronold, 'cellist.
