Kerry tsGT.

nSTFy OSNs
Mr.. Joseph Murphy, the distinguish
ed Irish comedian, will make his first
appearance at the Opera House to-
night in Marsdeu's Kerry Cow. The
Hartford "Currant," speaks thus OF the
play: 'GIt is an Irish play, full of tbs
liveliest humor, sparkling with fun,
and possessing rich, racy flavor of the
locality and people throughout. While
the action is of sufficient interest and
the p!o. fairly engaging, yet the chief
points are made in clever dialogue and
the pretty makeup Of the play. 1t
was nicely presented. A real dovecote
with real pigeons that kept WIRING
about the stage, and natural plants
around yard with leaves strewn over
it, gave quite realistic look to the
stage in the first act. In the third act
one saw a forge, at which iron was
heated and then forged into q
horseshoe by the " Kerry Cow"
In the fourth act the carrier-pigeon
flew in, one by one, bringing the news
Of the race. So it will be Seen that the
stage presentation was realistic, with
every attention paid to nice detail. But
the scting was not a whit behind. Mr..
Joe Murphy, who has made the "Kerry
Gow' his specially, displays in that
character eminent talents of the Barney
Williams order. Quite as good as that
actor, he is more natural. There is
more Of the character actor, far less of
the low comedian, about him. His
support was very good and the play
passed of 10 the great delight of the
audience. At the end of the third act
large horse shoe, elegantly made Of
flowers, was pres eDted to Mr. Murphy,
and he may now always count on an
audience in Hartfrrd for he and his
play plocsed much.

to charge the jury in the BIo"L-Bat-

He said that William Brown upon

either murder in the second tF8r9a or

convict him of anything, but in this
case the jndgs said it was certain that
a homicide had been committed. lie

that the defeuae relied upcn two points

act. you cannot take into account his
