"JOsh Whiteonb {"

The first representation of "Josh Whit
comb" by Denman Thompson and his COM
pany called out good audience last even
ing, and every person present went away
pleased. The play, if such 1t could be called,
has many features OF interest. 1t is not q
drama. 1t is simply plain story, told in
homely phrase, of the life of homely New
England farmer. He visits his city rela-
tiyes, and despite his uncouth manners, he
is well received. His experiences in New
York are what the common tradition attrib-
utes to countrymen visiting the city. He
displays his large heartedness in most
conspicuous manner, and is the hero of the
town. He is in every situation the same
frank, whole souled mana man whom
everybody could love, Notwithstanding
his eccentricities. MIR. Thompson acquitted
himself excellentIy throughout, and though
the comedy part is apparently best suited TO
his capacity, he displayed rare faculty in
depicting the pathetic. The play has many
features that commend it to public patron
age. 1t is a clean drama that interests ali,
from the child TO the full-grown man. 1t
has sentiment, humor aud pathos, and is
certainly presented in a manner that is
worthy only of commentator. The roles
were sill well sustained. Mr.. Thompson
was pre-emiuently good. He was ably SEQ
onded by the remaining members of the
cast, more especially by Miss Julia Wilson
in the character of Little Dot. The play
will be repeated this evening.

The Board OF Public Works.


An adjourned meeting of the board of
public works was held yesterday. The
board met at P. NJ.
Present-Messrs. Koch and Harrington;
absent, Mr.. President.
On motion Mr.. Farri ,ngton took the chair.
The street inspectors report of the num-
Der of men and teams employed by them on
city work in their respective districts was
received and placed on file.
The city engineer notified the board that
Henry Starkey, contractor for the construc-
ton OF sewer on Exchange
street, between Sherman and Eagle,
is not progressing fast enough
to get the work completed within the speci-
fed time. The board authorized the engi-
neer to take charge of it and complete it
within the contracted time at the expense OF
the contractor. The board will ask the
council to appropriate 4,240 for this pur-
pose. The engineer was also notified to
take charge of Mr.. Stsrkey's contract of
Oct. 1, 1880, for construction of sidewalks,
for the same reason as in the case above,
and complete the work.
Bids were opened and read for the CON-
struction of a sewer on Minnesota street
from Eleventh to Twelfth, thence on Twelfth
to Cedar, and thence on Cedar
to Thirteenth, and on Twelfth from Mime
sofa. VIM. Stockton was the only bidder and
the contract was awarded to him at s 1, 425.
Mr.. Harrington was empowered, in the
absence of the president, to execute certain
contracts for city work.
The engineer reported that Mr.. P. 81.
Kelly had complained to him that the water
came into the cellar of his building, corner
of Sibley street, near the new Union depot,
and thought the city was to blame in the
matter. The engineer thought otherwise
and his report was placed on file. Cousid-
cradle routine business was transacted and
the board adjourned.
