THEATRE.-The play of julius Caesar was
very well given at the theatre Saturday eve
ming, a fair but not large audience being pres
ent Laurence Barrett as "Cassius," Frederick
Robinson as "Brutus," and Mr.. Shewel as
"Marc Antony" were the central figures OF the
drama in point of ability, and won deserved APP
plause. Shakespeare plays are never given salts
factorily by any company in any theatre. 1t is
only when they are interpreted by reader like
Fanny Kemble that justice is done to all the
characters, and the poets thought is appreciat-
ed. There was less to criticize in the perform
ance Saturday night than usual at Shaksperian
play, and if some things might have been better,
1t is certain, judging by experience at Boston
and New York theatres, the play could have
been given in much inferior style, and not fallen
below the metropolitan standard. The chief
characters were acted well, and our play goers
will be glad to welcome Mr.. Lowell's company
here again.
The AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The Worcester
agricultural society will hold its ffty-fourh
annual exhibition upon their grounds in this
city, on Thursday and Friday of next week
The programme for the first day includes the
exhibition of stock, the blowing match and trial
of working oxen in the morning, and three races
in the afternoon. On the second day there is to
be an exhibition of horses in the morning and
four races in the afternoon. A hurdle race will
probably take place in the afternoon of the sec.
ond day-the owners of two of the competing
horses in the hurdle race upon Hampden park
last month"; having notified members of the ag-
ricultural society that they will enter their
horses if purse is offered and it is thought that
two others will enter. 1t is proposed to have
the race mile dash, over four hurdles, one of
which will be placed at the quarter pole and the
other in front Of the grandystand. This will
afford spectators an opportunity of witnessing a
race new to Worcester county race courses. AT
the New England fair in Lowell, last week, j,
was clearly demonstrated that Worcester county
contained some of the best farm stock in the
New England states; and if the owners bring in
Their stock the exhibition will be second to none
in quality.

AT THE DRIVING PARK.-The triple attraction
of a base ball match, two horse races and a foot
race, at the driving park, Saturday afternoon,
attracted quite large crowd of spectators. The
first race, for purse of S25, was contested by
five horses, six having been entered, but one
was withdrawn. Six heats were required to de-
eide this race. The first and second of the six
were easily won by the black gelding George.
The third was taken by Falmouth, George beng
second. In the fourth and fifth Blister was the
winner. The sixth heat and race was won by
George, although he was closely followed by

UsURY LAwS.-New York and MARYLAND

UsURY LAwS-New York and MARYLAND
seem to be in the same situation in regard 10
the usury question. In the Legislatures of
both States bills are pending, with the prospect
of remaining in that condition, proposing in
each instance to modify the usury laws So
as to meet the requirements of the age. In
New York it is proposed to permit interest to
be paid above seven per cent. where there are
written agreements. In the Maryland Legis-
lature it is not proposed to change the legal
rate of six per cent, but to provide that il
shall be lawful to contract to pay or receive
discount at any rate, and to contract for nav
ment and receipt OF any rate of interest" 1t
is also provided that no rate greater than six
per cent shall be recovered, except where
there is an agreement in writing, the intention
being to prevent evasion of the law. as is
nOt0riOusy the case, and to allow money the
same field as any other commodity. II il
claimed that liberal law, such as the one nro
posed IN our Legislature, weuld attract canital
to the State. Capital naturally seeks those
localities where the most can be produced bv
It, just as grain goes to the market where most
Is paid tor it. A great deal of capital goes to
States for investment where 8, 10 and l2 per
cent, and even more, are the legal rates of
interest, but beyond this the old-fasbioned
usury aW except among men of sharp con.
sciences, Is not at all observed. Business men
s svold 1t by buying and selling notes at any
nxed sums by paying or receiving commissions
Ou money loaned, and In various other ways.
