the finest passenger depot in the world,
being 600 by 200 feet, and will accommo-
date 10000 people. These Concerts are
intended to fittingly celebrate the rebuild

The City Election.

The first city election in Plymouth WAS
held last Monday and we must say that
it was the tamest affair of the kind we
have ever witnessed. One reason, per-
haps the principal one, was that there WAS
but n ticket offered, which was accept
ed as a compromise by the Republican
and Democratic palties. Another vas
that an impression prevailed among liquor
dealers that the vote at the election
would determine the number of petition
,ers required to procure a license to sci
whiskey. The whole number votes poll
ed numbered 2S7.
