THE WILMINGTON HARHoR.

The Board OF Trades Committee
Have . Consultation with the
Gov ernMent Engineer.
Pursuant to an invitation from the
Board Of Trade, Col. J. h. Macomb, Mr..
Evans and Col. Ludlow, Government
Engineers Of Philadelphia, visited Will
mingtoA yesterday afternoon for the
purpose Of consulting with regard to
the improvement Of the Wilmington
Harbor. This subject had been brought
to the attention of the above gentlemen
through the Secretary Of the Board ol
Trade.
The committee Of the Board consists
Of lE. Tatnall Warner, ]. T. Gause, r.
N. Buck, Henry Mendenhall and George
w. Stone. The conference was held at
the Clayton House. Before considering
the matter the committee and visitors
took dinner together.
DEEPENING THE CREEK.
II was stated at the conference that
II was desired to deepen the Christisna
creek so that st low water 1t would
have depth of fifteen feet. Col. Nm
comb stated that from his Knowledge Of
tho Christiana, which had been gained
through various surveys the stream
could be given that depth up to Will
mington for comparatively low figure
ure-much less indeed than the
amount at first contemplated-s2O,O 900.
The engineers also assured the COM
mittee that they were Of the opinion
that the proposed deepening should
take place. and that they would do all
in their power to have it done.
MAKING IT PERMANENT.
They further stated that the work Of
deepening could not only be done for a
low amount, but that it could be exc
cuted in such manner as to render 1t
permanent, and make continuous dred-
ging to maintain the old depth unne-
osssary. This could easily be done pro-
vided measures were taken to prevent
deposits in the creek from the different
sewers. Col. Macomb explained how
these sewers interfere with navigation.
The rain washes much substance down
the sewers, and this, together with all
other matter, runs into the creek. In
the stream off the mouth of the sewers
it gathers and gradually forms large
shoals, which in time become serious
obstacles to navigation. This could be
prevented by constructing large trap
near the mouth of the sewer, in which
this deposit could bs allowed TO- settle
and then hauled away.
1t is understood that it is now too
late to have a clause inserted in the
River and Hartor Bill, providing for
the work. II is, therefore, the inten-
tion Of the Board of Trade to allow ths
matter to remain in statue quo until
next year.

SECOND EDITION.
a Uhas with Emma abbott.

As we are to have for the first time
in Wilmington really perfect and com
plete grand opera company, on Tuesday
next, the following will be found. inter
esting;
81 am ths only prima-dcnna who has
ever presented the opera Of Paul ana
Virginia, In America" said Miss Alb
bott, "sDd may say IL has been very
successful in all respects. Victor Masss,
the author Of the opera, told me he
never saw any one 80 well adapted In
physique, general quality of voice and
temperament for the part as myself.
The part required, he said, and as you
know, one who could depict with In
tense earnestness and tel der sympathy
the emotional nature Of affection "a
person knowing what the passion and
warmth Of woman's love are. We be-
gan the opera in New Orleans early in
February, and It was a sweeping sue
cess from the outset. In one perform.
ance the curtain rose eight times on the
love soene and the duet, such was the
ardor Of thA audience. We subsequent
ly played In the south and In Wash
ington. In September we presented II
for a fortnight at the Grand Opera
House, New york, and had remarkable
good fortune"
The writer then touched upon a del
icate point.
''some criticism has recently been
made upon your acting in love scenes,
Miss Abbott"
She smiled In answer, and said:
swell, I will tell you about that. l
dstest the conventional, stsgey, stupid,
love-making scenes, 30 often depicted
by women who never were In love, and
know nothing Of the passion. I think
the more vivid and lifelike the repre-.
sentation is the better. I have been
In love, and know what / am acting.
/ forget Emma Abbott in vivifying my
characters. A warm hearted, noble
weman's passion can only be portrayed
by one who has had emotional exper-
ienoe. No woman who is coquette or
q designing intriguer can properly act
such part"
