Mr.. EDToR.-In the PRESS Of the first inst.
IL an article headed SIS Hop Lager Intoxica.
ting in which an account is given Of q trial
before Judge Knight not upon the question is
Hop Lager intoxicating, but upon the question
whether certain lot of beer seized by the Of
fcers was or was not malt liquor
may premise that great pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Judge to give decis-
ion, Twill not say boldly, against the facts and
the law, but in favor of the beer. The Ian
guage of the law Is this. ale, porter, strong
beer; lager beer, and all other malt liquors
shall be considered Intoxicating liquors within
the mean ing of this chapter, This particular
beer was proved to be malt liquor, by the wit
nesses for the defendent. The law is explicit
and conclusive, that this particular liquor was
malt liquor, inasmuch as malt was used in its
manufacture, and came under the prohibition
of the law.
The State Assayer, Prof. Carmichael, of
Bowdoln College, gave certificate that this par
tlcular beer contained four and three one-hun-
dredths a 3-100) per cent. of alcohol and was
therefore highly intoxicating but the language
and intent of the law leaves no alternative to
the court because it was not denied that this
particular beer was malt liquor
Ihere was testimony, all from interested,w wit
ness, that some beer is made with smaller per
centage of alcohol than this. The question is
of great interest to the saloon keepers of this
city
Ii it were not Intoxicating it could not be sold
as it is consumed only for the alcohol that is in
it. The u. S. law IN relation to this matter
says that Liquors, any part of which is malt,
shall be considered malt liquors." and the
maker of this particular beer admitted upon
the stand as witness for the defense that it
contained malt. and the same man admitted tn
me last summer in my office that the teer was
malt liquor. 1t is proper to say that Prof
Carmichaeps analysis was the only official one
in the case. r.

ROBIN HOOD AT MUSIC HALL.-Mr. John

ling musical burlesque extravanza of Robin
Hood. This piece has been very successful at
the Globe Theatre, Boston, and the matinees
have drawn immense crowds Of ladies and
children. The Boston papers pronounce it per-
fectly pure and worthy of the patronage of all.
In the company which comprises thirty people
will be found Miss. Nellie Larkelle, Miss May
Ten Brock, Gus. Williams, Harry Bloodgood,
The ballet has been here on previous occasions
and never failed to please large audiences. Two

The Dorics.

The "Dorics" of Bowdoin College presented
Byron's brilliant comedy sour Boys at the
Museum last evening to select audience. The
representation was an agreeable surprise, and
the performance one highly creditable to anna
Tours Though not entirely free from awk-
Weaknesses and nidserieS it was certainly very
entertaining. The young gentlemen who as
sumed the parts in the play must be credited
with very intelligent conceptions of the differ
emit characterizations, and if they anywhere
failed in execution it was failure resulting
only from want of professional experience, not
from want of study or from inability to COM
prehend the motive of the comedy or the de-
velopment of its charactersn the unfolding of
the plot.
Some of the parts were excelently taken,
and all were we'll done. Mr.. w. G. Davis's
"Vjolet Melrose" was really an artistic inn
personation, fine and delicate parody of
womanly ways. Mr.. Fl. B. Wilson's "'Perkyn
Middlewick' was very funny, and constant
delight to the audience. 1t was given with
genuine humor. Mr.. Ell. W. Ring was suffi
GENTLY sentlemanly Charles and Mr.. S. e.
Smith properly foppish but rather coarsely
drawn Talbot" Mr.. G. M. Jacobs looked
the stately baronet, though evidently ill at
ease. Messrs. H. e. Henderson snd G. W.
and "Clarissa," and Mr.. W. P Martin succeed
ed as 'sBelinda." The boys in the gowns sug-
gested the masculine intruders of the "Prin-
cess sometimes, but that of course was to be
expected.
