POTTER-BELLEW. - The coming engagement of Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew which begins at the Columbia Theatre, on Monday next, is an event of sufficient importance to attract the individual attention of the theatre goers. When Mrs. Potter first made her appearance upon the stage, some ten years ago, she was generally conceded to be possessed of undoubted talent, which only needed development. In the intervening time she has studied hard and devoted herself entirely to her profession. On her present American tour she has been greeted most generously and the criticisms she has received have been most flattering. Mrs. Potter and Mr. Bellew have just returned from a tour of the Orient; in those strange countries where few professional people have the temerity to go, they have been more than favorably received, and the criticisms of the English-speaking papers printed there have been universally flattering. Their repertoire includes many new and popular plays, and their company, which is the same as was with them two years ago, is a particularly strong one.

MR. FRED W. WHITAKER, of Whitaker & Co., Tailors, 43 Conduit street, London, W., has arrived at Young's Hotel, Boston, with special samples for spring and summer. He will be there until March 9. Appointments by letter. Hotel hours 8 to 11 a.m., 4.30 to 7 p.m.
