looking at the documents.
I forgot tc mention in the regular o..
der of city politics an incident which
occurred the night before last ut Re
publican primary caucus or convention
which reveals something of tie inside
of the Metropolis.
The meeting was controlled by John
w. Farmer, who has been feeding the
poor of his ward with soup for the past
twelve years in the hope of obtaining a
political preferment, but who has, never
theless, never got above the dignity OF a
"supeu in the theatre of municipal
affairs, undertook to control the meet
ing, and Il II omination was TO be made.
John presided, and appointed rs the
nominating committee his brother, his
son-in-law, and two gentlemen who are
dodgers in his house, and thought he
would have it all his own way.

to put his thumb in the pic, being cook

So Hugh protested strongly up

likely be number of terminating

In my last communication | attcmp
ted to give your readers description Of
the famous river tunnel. With your
consent l will briefly portray the vari-
GUS sensations and follies characteristic
of this Western metropolis.
ADJUSTMENTS.
Chicago is in the height of lis glory
as regards amusemelts. At Crosby's
magnificent opera house, Parepa Rosa
and Opera Boufle reign supreme; while
at the new Dearborn Theatre, 70 emily
completed, Frank Aiken, the recent
popular manager of Wood Museum,
holds forth with his fine troupe. This
theatre, by the way, is II perfect model
of beauty. Next comes McNicker's,
which draws nightly houses filed to
repletion, with his superb company.
Last. but not least, is Cotton & S arp
lay's Minstrels, who, by their splendid
impcrsonations and burlcsQues, merit
the success which they are meeting
with. Woods Museum is closed for the
season for reasons best known to the
managers. Rumor whispers " closed
for repairs and alterations"
Our Kinks and parks are well patron
lied. OF the former we have two, OF the
latter six or more. The season tickets
TO the Kinks are set at the moderate price
Of S14, and by the crowds that partici-
pate nightly in the festivities. we may
infer that financially the Kinks are
success. The parks are generally free
to ALL
BENDS AND RENDERS.
The C;recian Bend iourishes here and
appears Ii the streets in all its unl,e
coming and ridiculous features, anu is
much commented upon, while the
"Americin Bender" VIII eli is frequent-
ly seen he e, does not create as great
sensation as this f shionab.c folly, The
Grecian Bend. Although the "AmeN-
can Bender which is brought on by
beer, and its end is the "bier,' yet the
Grecian Bend, If not directly fatal, is
more or less hultful to those who are
affected with it, and who will undergo
any amount of suffering to insure The
desired angle, or posture, of this unnat-
ural bend. Velocipedes, the drama,
bends, and Blenders seem to be a mania
here
