THOUGH Russia is believed to have

favorable than ever for alliance with

influence seemed on the point of carly

The Horse Cars.

Mr. EDITOR The N managers of the Horse
Railroad have alike consulted the convenience
of the public and their own interests in increas-
line, and have no doubt the wisdom of the
contemplated change will be fully demonstrate
ed by largely increased receipts. Many would
be patron of the road has frequently walked
rather than wait ten minutes for horse car.
but the time for waiting under ordinary cir
cumstances, will, under the change, be SO
short that the company may confidently antici-
pate larger number of passengers than here
tofore
But there is one other charge which wish
to suggest to the management, which can be
arranged very easily, and think would result
10 an increase of receipts. The present system
assumes that people living along the Splipg
street line always want to go down Middle
street. and that those residing in the western
portion of the city, in the vicinity of the other
line, never have to go off of Congress street
The result is of course that many persons very
frequently walk, who, if the cars should take
them nearer their destination, would gladly
ride. The same reasons which made the pro
posed change on Congress street an advau.
tageous one to the public and therefore to the
company, obtains with equal force in the
change l suggest, which is that the company
during certain hours of the day, say from a
m until p m. should alternate the Cars on
each route, letting every other Spring street ca
run to Muujoy, and every other Congress street
car to the Grand Trunk depot and Uice yersa
believe it would be found to be a profitable
arrangement for the company, for it would Ger
taDly be of great convenience to the publ
which is now, in this particular, very imper
fectly accommodated by the road. The detail
of the change could be easily arranged, and
have heard q score or more of patrons say tina
such change would result in their riding il
the cars three times where now they ride once

"Baby."

"Baby" is certainly not a CREST play, but 1t
is an immensely amusing one. 1t is in fact
three-act farce, Astounding 10 ludicrous situs.
tions, never tagging in fun or interest, and
provoking laughter from the rise of the curtain
to its fall. There is not a dull passage 10 it,
and there are many ridiculous Ones The mo.
tive is the adventures of young man who is
treated as baby By bis doting parents, and is
known of all his acquaintance by that infan-
tile title. OF course be is an improper young
man, wheeling hls father out of money that
he spends in repreheusible diversions. The
theme is not an elevated one, but is treated in
very amusing manner. 1t takes about the
same place among plays that "Verdant Green"
has among nov Is, and is quite as entertaining
as that work.
The hero of the play, Baby" is taken by
Mr. Wheelock, who gave Characterization 10
every way satisfactory, accurate in drawing,
rich in color; and entirely free from exaggera-
ton. IL is one of the best of his comedy i'm
presentations He looked and acted the young
man chatting under the strict though kindly
parental discipline, aud resorting to trick and
subterfuge in order that he might get taste of
forbidden fruit. Mr.. Curtis as "Tracy Coach"
the "Bsby's" tutor, achieved an unequivocal
success, and was greeted with laughter and sp-
plause at every appearance. His absence from
the stage has apparently been benefit rather
than an iujary. The representation OF the
tutor but lately escaped from the thraldom of
sin and still yearning for the flesh pots of
Egypt, was rich and unctuous in its humor.
In some of its traits it recalled the professor in
the sBig Bonanza" Mr.. Curtis has cersainly
never done better, and the warmth of the APP
plause showed the hearty approval of the au-
dience. Happy too was another Portland
favorite in bis characterize alton of the part as
signed to him. Mr. Calder as "Magnus' gave
an impersonation of the dealer in cochineal
noticeable for its bluff heartiness and adequate
treatment. Very happy too was Mrs. Chap
man as "Mrs. Howard st. Paul." the dotiug
mamma. Mr. Chapman was no less successful
as the papa. The other parts were in the main
fairly taken, though some awkardness resulted
from the imperfect commitment of the dia-
logue. From the same cause were some un-
pleasant delays, but all of nature that a
second representation easily remedies.
BABY" will probably be played during the
rest of the engagement. If one may judge by
the pleasure of the large audience last evening
it will fill the house every night. 1t certainly
affords two very amusing hours entertainment.
