The torchlight procession in Boston this
evening will be the most extensive, elaborate
and magnificent display of the character ever
wlenessed in New England. The Republican
organisations of this city, accompanied by the
full Portland Band, have made arrangements
to participate in the great celebration, and an
excursion train will leave the P. s. & P. Depot
at two o'clock this afternoon for Boston. The
fare for the round trip is IS. Arrangements
have been made for a free collation. for the
companies on their arrival in Boston, and pro-
vision is also being made to care for them dur
ing the night. We understand that the return
tickets will be good on any train of Thursday.
The arrangements were only completed at
late hour last evening, but it is hoped that our
Republican friends will avail themselves of this
rare opportunity to witness the grand parade.
The uniformed companies will meet at their re-
spective headquarters at one O. clock.

engagement closed last night with one of the
greatest triumphs that ever was accorded to
an actor by the people of Portland; and if he
has heretofore gained more glittering honors,
certainly none were ever given in greater sim
cerity. Every seat and nearly every foot of
standing room was occupied, and the gallery
seats presented thronged appearance. Rich
ard the III was chosen for this occasion, and in
its method of presentation Mr.. Booths careful
ness of detail was conspicuous. The capabli-
ties of the stage at Music Hall are not favora-
BILE to the proper production of play of such
weight as this is, but the setting of it was well
considered and executed. Some of the closing
scenes of King Henry VI are introduced in
this version to make the history more complete
and Ineligible to the audience, and it contains
the whole life of the ambitious, cruel King.
Mr.. Booth was called before the curtain at the
close Of each act to receive the applause of his
friends. Miss Pateman, as Queen Elizabeth,
exhibited great deal of fine action and impas-
stoned reading, supporting Mr.. Booth very

The Equine Epidemic.
THE MALADY IN NEW YORK.

New YoRK, Oct. 29-The weather is cool
and clear this morning, and favorable to the
horse malady, but there is no abatement in it,
Fewer horses are seen in the street than at any
previous time, and nearly all those are running
badly at the nose. A few stages and cars are
running on all the lines but the 4th avenue. It
1t is generally noticed that the fine express
horses and other animals well cared for are
suffering less frem the epizootic. Cartmen
along with hackmen are overworking their well
horses to enrich themselves by oxtortionate
fares. Bergh will continue to arrest all those
using unfit horses. One hundred and twenty
four dead horses are reported for the week
ending Saturday. All these need not neces-
sarily however have resulted from the new dis
ease. Vast piles of freight have accumulated
on the wharves. The diseased trotting horses
at the Fleetwood stable are convalescing. The
I'd avenue is the only horse car line which en-
ploys dummies during the continuance of the
distemper.
The epidemic is now said to have reached its
worst point here, but Notwithstanding the wide
spread OF the suffering and the numerous fatal
cases yesterday the disease is thought BY MANY
experienced horsemen to be on the decline To-
day is cool and pleasant and hundreds of par
TALLY affected horses will be used in conse
quence Several of the leading physicians of
the Board of Health think the disease will
probably soon attack man, and it is said few

horses have the malady, but this is very doubt

declaring that hereafter all goods imported in

PORTSMOUTH Oct. 29-The railroad inquest
was continued this morning. Newell Dow con-
cluded his testimony and his wife will appear
this afternoon, and Dow says she will testify
that brakeman Dow told her he left the switch
wrong. President Lathrop of the Eastern R.
R., also took the witness stand and stated that
as the laws of Maine oblige the road to draw
the Boston & Maine trains that were without
the Miller platform and Westinghaus brake, so
they thought they might as well take the Maine
Central cars too, though similarly deficient.
Alfred N. Do of Seabrook, who lives near
the scene of the accident says he found the
switch immediately after the accident with the
pin where the lock should have been. and the
lock hanging from the chain as Conductor
Smith says he found it, and not as switchman
Dow says he left it. Witnesses to corroborate
Walton's testimony that the switchman left
the switch wrong are not yet forthcoming.
