ON FRIDAY EVENING
many OF the American rlnemen and their friends
attended the Gaiety T1e4tre, one or the most
comfortable and charming little edinces OF the
kind IN Great Britain, and were received with
thnnders OF applause. The orchestra meandered
through the m2zes OF the 'Star SPaugled Ban
ner,n bringing out new stores of enthusiasm. and
all eyes were turned with pardonabe c-rosity
toward the boxes draped with the American
colors, where sat the guests OF the evening. Miss
Geneyievo Ward, q young American actress OF
muoh prom Sc and beauty, and VINO has become
quite favorite among the Dublin people, was tAe

AT THE DUBLIN THEATRE
Every one has heard OF the impressionable char

theatres, and the freedom with which they some.
times indulge In comment, satrical or common

SATURDAY WAS BAD DAY.
Heaven and earth conspired TO make It unpleas-
ant for the grand excursion planned to Vartry
Lodge TWENTY-FIVE miles from Dublin. But the
interna1oaAl party was punctually en- route de-
spite the curtains OF log and the squirt OF rain
which made neck comforters and umbrellas neces-
slry Tue excursion comprised trip by san to
the pleasant town OF Bray, which once had a vicar
celebrated in song II need not tell you about
HIM, and from Bray ride in carriages through
one OF the prettiest sections OF wicklow to the
location OF the Dublin water works. Some OF the
members OF the American team were very much
iAugued, as they had been out very late at night
WATCHING THE PROGRESS OF THE DISASTROUS FIRE
whlcn at one time threatened to spread through
cut Dublin. II was thrilling sight and one &C
companied by many repuIslve incidents. As q
number OF bonded warehouses 1ned with liquor
we're burned the streets were filed with blazing
WhisKey, which rushed In living currents OF fame
along the streets and roadways, spreading de-
struction In all directions. Fire engines were use
less because the torrents Of water which they
might have thrown upon the DANES would only
have served to noat the blazing spirits farther
along whereas II was necessary TO check them at
once. The corps OF soldiers rom the garrison
battling with the impetuous names, the struggling
policemen In their black helmets and with their
long clubs IN their hands, pushing back
the hesving and swaying crowds whose
anxious faces were lighted up by the blaze against
the log banks; the detaohments from the Fire
Brigade and from the second aud Fifth regiments,
armed with picks, and working ike demons TO rip
up the pavement and form barbados against the
deadly current OF liquid; the women from the
poor quarters, which were threatened by the con-
Migration, running about like maniacs, praying and
tearing tseir hair and constantly getting into the
danger which they were endeavsrlng 10 avoid
all these composed picturesque ana startling
panorama which one would not visa TO gaze often
upon. IL was stated that the waves OF burning
whiskey actually ran ankle deep In the streets for
come time. and that many Of the poor people
tried TO collect some OF the baneful stun. Here
ana there men pulled on their boots ana
dipped them IN the Missing stream. hoping TO get
the wherewithsl for a oebauch. and after the Ore
was checked quite Q number OF persons were
picked up dead drunk and carried TO the station
houses. One young man, who rad partaken VITA
