PORTLAND THEATRE.-Itis many years since
Wyzeman Marshall has appeared on the
boards in this city and therefore twas fit and
proper that an audience composed of many
of our best known citizens should honor
the occasion with their presence last night. 1t
was not a crowded house but it was a very
good one and gave encouragement to those
who had feared that the legitimate drama was
dead, and that there was no hope of its restora-
ton. But the evils of the sensational and bur-
lesque drama have made their mark in man.
ner that cannot be concealed. They have af-
fscted the gods of the gallery to that extent
that in the most telling situation of the play
ribald laugh is heard because the lessons these
rowdies have heen taught by burlesque in the
past only serve to afford them an opportunity
to turn sublime into the ridiculous. One
would think that the actors themselves would
be SO incensed by such noises as the Gods in
dulged in last night, that'they would order the
officers to preserve quiet.
Tie play of Richelieu is too we'll known to
theatre goers to require comment. 1t is one of
the best plays known to the stage and uni
versal favorite. The willy, brave, old cardinal
in whom advanced age has not conquered his
indomitabe spirit was well portrayed by Mr..
Marshall We were particularly pleased with
his Interpretation of the character in the third
act commencing with his interview with De
Mauprat and closing with his reconciliation of
De Mauprat aud Julie. AS whole it was
very fine piece of acting, although uneven.
Points would flash out here and there that
were interpreted in manner that would re-
mind you of Booth or Kean, and again where
spirit was required the actor seemed too tame
Mrs. E. L. Davenport was excellent as Julie;
in fact, that sterling actress, like her husband,
never attempts anything that she does not do
well. Miss Herring made dashing Francois,
and her costume was more appropriate to the
character than the petticoats of Orleans. Mr.
Aldrich was very good as De Mauprat, but he
should remember that If he takes crisis too
early he must either rant or spoil the situation
before the proper time. When we tell our
friends that we must speak low as assassins
wait without, we do not Immediately after
wards shout at the top of our voice that we
will defend them at the hazard of our life. The
rast of the support was very fair, De Bernig-
ham, Baradas, Joseph, Marian De Loruna, eic.
We would urge our readers not to fail to
give the company the support they deserve
We have now at the Portland Theatre COM
pany that will compare favorably with any
company, with one or two exceptions, in the
country, and manager who risks such ven
ture is deserving of encouragement. In re-
turn, if the public support the company, the
manager should see that the public are not an
noyed by disorder among those who know bet
ter. At the close of the fourth act of the play
| last evening Mr.. Marshall was called before
the curtains proof of the public esteem that
rarely shows itself in Portland.

THE FIsK-vANDERBILT WAR.
NEW Y DIRK, Sept. ia formal application
was filed to-day with the Attorney General of
the State requesting him to begin proceedings
for the suspension and removal of Commodore
Vanderbilt from the Presidency of the Hudson
River and N Y. Central Reilroad Companies
The application is based on the ground that
Vanderbilt is iniuring the stockholders of his
road by making low rates for freight, in order
to withdraw their personal claims against
him in the well known $4,000, 900 suit
AT a recent meeting the representatives of
rival trunk lines westward asked Gould, who
offered withdrawal of the suit upon satisfac-
tory arrangements being perfected as to the
division of business, but Vanderbilt insisted on
the withdrawal OF the suit first. This Fisk &
Gould refused, and the meeting broke up with
out accomplishing anything, and present ru-
mors of complication seem likely to continue

sisteptly asserts was John Scanned came up
and, without speaking word, drew Derrin-

derer then ran down Irving place, throwing
away in his flight grey overcoat, wig and
souched hat which had been used as dis

The PARIS CREw.-Yesterday morning we
had the pleasure of a call from Mr.. Charles
Potter, the hacker of the Paris crew, and Mr..
d. G. Smith, of the st. John Daily Telegraph.
We learn from them that the defeat of 1he
crew, in their opinion, was caused by the boat
:ng.unprovided with washboards. The Tyne
men had these rugged on their boat and there
fore came in, at the end of the race dry, while
the st. John boat had three quarters OF a bar
rel of water on board. This washing back and
forth in the boat will account Tor the difficulty
of turning and the thirty seconds difference in
the time between them and the winning boat.
The st. John men expected to row in smooth
water, and, of course, were not at all prepared
for the squall which met them at the start
They now say that they do not really know
whether the Tyne crew are equal to them in :
fair aquatic contest or not. The city of st
John offered tie Tyne crew payment of ex
penses and double stakes if they would row
the race over again at that city on smooth
water, but the Tyne crew declined to pull ex
cept within eight days. without regard te
