probation of the efforts of the singers by sew

prano voice with good deal of execution, and
her rendering of the theme at the conolu-

well done, especially when we consider that
there was no accomplishment. We think il

meeting on the street is--''are you going to the

OF the day, especially when we consider how
much time business men have to think at the
present time of writing. Not much stirring on
the street, locals particularly dull, so people
say to themselves where can we enjoy ourselves
80 thoroughly and cheaply as we can at q
dance? And when, in addition to the attrac-
tons of the opening of new and ele-
CANT hall, you have an opportunity of witness
ing the management of the velocipede by two
ladies who understand the bicycle thoroughly,
sight never yet enjoyed by Portland audi
ence, no wonder that the hall will be hardly
capacious enough to hold the assemblage. Be
advised in time, therefore, and secure your
seats during the day.. aSstIE.ass0

grand complimentary benefit to D. II. Chand-
Ter, Esq, leader of the Portland String Band,
has been rendered him by his many friends in
this city and will come off early in April We
consider this step in the right direction Mr..
Chandler has worked hard to not only main
tain the reputation that the Portland Band
has SO deservedly won, but also to increase
their efficiency by constant exertion. The
Portland Band now ranks among the best
bands in New England. We have never
known Mr.. Chandler to disappoint manager
in the character Of the music furnished for an
entertainment and, with the hearty co-opsra-
ton of the members of the organization, he
never will. We shall speak of this matter
more fully at another time. 1t is enough to
say here that Mr.. Chandler is an institution of
Portland and will receive substantial testi
monial from the public.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS OF THE NATIONAL
LIFE INSURANCE Co-The National Life In
surance Company of the United States Of
America was chartered in July, 1883 In the
first seven months of its existence 1882 policies
were issued, representing insurance to the
amount of SIC, 605, $50, and calling for an an
nual premium of about 100000. Thsis an
astonishing success, and gives emphatic en-
dersement to the peculiar advantages offered
by this Company, as well as to the confidence
felt in those who are prominent in the man
agsment of the new enterprise. The leading
principle of the Company is to avoid all COM
plcations of notes or dividends, but, in effect,
to pay dividends in advance by its reduced
cash rates for q certain definite amount of in
surance. Thus, the amount of insurance ef-
fected to March LIST, as noted above, would cost
5000 annual premium in a company upon
the mutual" plan, whose future dividends to
policy holders are dependent upon prospective
and necessarily uncertain prosperity. The
National Life has therefore made, in effect, a
dividend of $9O0,O in its first seven months,
the largest ever made by any insurance COM
pany in the world in that length Of time.
1t is evident that the policy of the "Nation-
al" is regarded with distinguished favor by in
vestors and there is good reason for predict
ing for it a business career surpassed by that
of no other Company Attention is. called to
the advertisement, in another column, of the
agent for this vicinity.

THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR.-The committee
appointed by the City Government last eve
ming to confer with the Trustees of the State
Agricultural Society on the subject of holding
the next State Fair in this city, and to see
what appropriations would be necessary by
the city in order that the New England Fair
might be held here in conjunction with the
State Fair, met at the United States Hotel at
9 A. M. yesterday.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
scammon, President of the Board of Trustees.
The time was first taken up in replying to
questions asked the Trustees by the commit
tee. Several very interesting facts were
brought out in the conversation as to the adj
vantages possessed by Portland for such as
semblages as are drawn together by a public
display like great Fair The meeting was a
very harmonious one, and it was understood
that the Trustees of the New England Socie-
tyshould be at once conferred with by the
Trustees of the State Society, and the sum as
csrtained which would be required to enable
the New England Fair to be held here in Sep
tsmber ifsthe gentlemen having the matter in
charge shall decide SO to do. After they have
decided to come here on compliance with their
terms, the City Government will see if they
are reasonable and proper ones, and, if SO, as-
