THE HAYMAKERs.-The second performance
of this characteristic American OPERA for such
it really is, was given last evening to a crowded
and delighted audience, and there was decid
ed improvement in the execution, good as the
first representation was The composition of
the music and poetry is of very pure and ele-
waited tone indeed, the quintette Chow good is
He the Giver," in the second part has repeated
ly been sung in churches as a suitable anthem.
This justly celebrated cantata was given in this
city in the autumn of 1885, by the Mozart Club,
nnder the direction of our excellent and popular
tenor, Mr.. Samuel Thurston. Many remember
the fine manner in which the Club executed
the piece, although the chorus was far smaller
in number than that of the present organiza-
ton 1t has been matter of interest for us to
refer to the files of our daily newspapers of
that time to notice the style of their criticism
and remarks upon it. The opera had run of
eight performances at Deering Hall, with an
intermission of a week to prepare additional
scenery. Our examination of the f,es of the
newspapers has forced several thoughts upon the
mind First the progress in musical taste that
has been made during thirteen years, for it was
zunounced in the advertisements that the opera
would be given in COSTUME and with scenery,
and without the book" 1t would not be ex-
pected to be given in any other way now
Among the solOists, Mr.. A. C. Means was the
Farmer Mr. John Morgan (his debut we be-
I eve) was William, Mrs A " Humphrey was
Mary, Miss Louise Z. Ilsley daughter of Chas.
p. nsley, esq., the dairy maid, Mrs. S. Benni-
son, Anna, Mr.. S. johnson, John, Mr.. George
w. Leavitt, Snipkins, and Mrs. s. Thurston
was the pianist. The opera was given in a man
ner highly creditable to all concerned. And
last evening the performance was again given
in manner highly ereditable to all. Miss
Flora Grant, who has recently come here to re-
side, made her debut to Portland audience
and made very favorable impression, receiv-
ing an encore. Mr.. Charles E. Chase as Snip
kins, enacted and sung the part of city fop
creditably. Tonight the third and last per-
formance will be given when doubtless our cit
liens will again fill the hall to overfowing

STEAMER FRANcoNIA, of the New York line,
arrived here at 8 IL o'clock yesterday morning,
after having experienced an exceedingly rough
passage, and being delayed about "a hours by
the storm. Took the gale in the Sound, Tues
day. 1t blew very heavy from the northeast
with rain and sleet, which froze as it fell Came
to anchor off Chatham and remained over 20
hours. On the passage shipped heavy SEAS
which washed into the saloon and encountered
the deck with ice. The scuppers being froze up
ice made rapidly, and when the steamer arriv-
ed she was almost entirely encrusted from stem
to stern. The vessel behaved we'll, but the of
ficers and crew say the passage was one of the
hardest they ever experienced.
