EvANGELINE AT Music HALL. - John
Stetson's opera bouffe com pany presented the
extravaganza Of "Eyangeline'' at Music Hall
last night to large house despite the storm.
The company taken as whole is good one
and presents this rather threadbare opera
bouffe in very entertaining manner. NJ ISIS
Sylvester as "Evangeline" is bright and
active although lacking somewhat in voice.
She makes much of the part, 10 fact more than
is ordinarily to be seen in It, Miss Larkelle is
little too large for thu part of Gabriel though
she does her best to make it lively for the
audience. The 'Lone Fisherman" by Maffitt
was immensely amusing, reminding one
forcibly of Hunters PRESERVATION which has
caused so much favorable comment here and
elsewhere. The heifer dance by Messrs.
Redmond s. Parks was particularly good as far
as the dance was concerned but the appearance
of the heifer was not particularly artistic.
The business of the piece is we'll done and
taken as whole makes a good evening s
entertainment.
This afternoon 'Egangeline'' will be
repeated at the matinee, and tonight 'Robin
Hood is the bill. Both perform ancss will no
doubt be largely attended.

tits village situated on the Kennebec river.
The Maine Central Railroad passes through it,
The Boston boat stops here four times week.
During the summer there are pleasure boats
running daily from here to the Islands. 1t has
two shoe factories, Ond saw mill. In former
days it used to be noted for its ship building,
but at present there is not single ship on the
stocks. Both shoe factories are running at pre-
sent and also the saw mill, and with the ice
business it makes business quite lively for
these times. There are quite number of new
buildings being erected. Mr.. Robertson is
building large boarding house on Factory
Hill. 1t is very pretty building and will
add good deal to the looks of the Hill Near
ly opposite Mr.. r. there is a tenement house
being erected. Near the town hall Herbert
Mansir is building very neat little house.
Geo. Randlett is building new house near
the mill bridge. Richmond has good schools,
but needs new school house badly.
