WOMEN OF DISTINCTION.

Miss Ednorah Nadar received a great amount of applause, and her rendition of the curse scene from "Leah, the Forsaken," was as fine a bit of acting as we have seen.—Charlotte Chronicle.

Miss Xahar, of Boston, was particularly greeted to the. echo in her almost perfect rendition of dramatic selections.—Norfolk Evening Telegram.

"Aux Italiens," by Miss Nahar, was interpreted with a newer and subtler meaning than ever before; it was pathetic, tender, loving, fire-full, fervid and dramatic, each following in place with a sequence that only comes with genius.—The Philadelphia Weekly Sentinel.

Miss Nahar is prepossessing in appearance, graceful in movement and confident in bearing. She possesses decided dramatic powers, has a fine voice, strong, pure, flexible and quite voluminous—Cleveland (O.) Gazette.

In "Aux Italiens" Miss Xahar displayed original conception as well as extraordinary powers of execution; she has command of her voice, and her renditions are more like interpretations than recitations.—St. Louis Advance.

Miss Ednorah Xahar as an elocutionist is superb.—The Daily Record (Columbia, S. C.).

The honors of the evening were properly awarded Miss Nahar, who is a great favorite in St. John; her "Chariot Race," from "Ben Hur," was a masterpiece of stirring power, while in "Cleopatra" in Egyptian costume she brought out fully the tremendous passion of that poem.—Daily Telegraph (St. John, N. B.).

In the "Chariot Race" and "Cleopatra" an elegant Egyptian costume afforded every opportunity for displaying to the best her wonderful abilities.—The Daily Sun (St. John. N. B.).

Her voice one always remembers with pleasure. It is said the charm of Booth"s voice remains with one who has heard him; this is not too much to say of Miss Xahar.—Cincinnati Enterprise.

Miss Nahar is a talented lady whose "Sioux Chief's Daughter," given in Indian costume, was finely rendered, while the "Chariot Race," from Wallace's "Ben Hur," was a revelation.—New York Mail and Express.

Her gestures are easy and graceful and she possesses rare gifts and powers as an elocutionist.—Durham (N. C.) Daily Sun.
