Note and Comment.

The students of Cornell University will be glad to learn that arrangements have been made for a reading by Mr. J. J. Hayes, formerly Instructor in Elocution at this University. Mr. Hayes while here gave several public readings, and on every occasion proved himself possessed of rare elocutionary and dramatic power. His reading of the Midsummer Night's Dream with orchestral accompaniament will be long remembered by all who had the good fortune to hear him. As a humorous and dialect reader Mr. Hayes stands almost unrivalled. Everywhere he has received the highest praise and has met with the most flattering success. Mr. Hayes will read at Library Hall on the evening of Feb. 4th. The reading will be a miscellaneous one, including dramatic, narrative, and humorous selections, As a former "Cornellian" he ought to be met by a large audience of students and professors. - Cornell Era.
