IaGEL INTELLIGENCE,

METROPOLITAN THEATER.-Lasb evening
'Rosa Michel" was presented at the Metro
politsn Theater by the present company as a
benefit to the Governors Guard Cadets
Captain Eisenmenger, ct the close of the
play. drilled squad of fourteen men in a
very creditsble msnner. The audience were
in great hurry TO leave the building, and it
was with difficulty that they were retained
until the exhibition drill was COM
menced. The drill was to have been
followed by presentation of a
gold medal TO Miss Alma Steuart Stanley,
but the audience got away at the close of the
drill before they knew there was anything
further. The presentation was therefore
postponed until this evening. The medal is
TO be presented on behalf of the Pacific
Blood Horse Association. The interest
which the Association has taken in Miss
Stanley grew out Of the recent races held
under their auspices st Oakland. There
was a closely contested running race of
three-qusrters of mile and repeat between
Jim Douglass end Joe Howell. The first
heat was won by Howell, and the second by
Douglass. Miss Stanley was present and
much interested in the race. Before the
third heat she offered handsome new suit,

Douglass. The suit was formally presented
to Howson at the benefit given to Miss Star-
ley at the Grand Opera House. The COM
pany will repeat " Michael Strogoff at the
matinee this afternoon, and tonight "Oliver
Twist will be presented. The play will be
repeated on Sunday evening.
The PROBLEM SoLVED.-One.evenin this
week. Two girls, aged about IA or Is years,
went into the Capitol grounds east of the
Capitol building, and approached one of the
flower beds that had been recently planted
with choics flowers. They looked in all di.
rections very cautiously. and, becoming salts.
fed 10 one was looking, they stopped down
and carefully took up about dozen of the
plsnts, and secreting them in their aprons,
left the grounds. AS the reader has probably
guessed, they were not unchserved, for
gardener Meldrum and al assistant were ch-
serving this entire proceedings from within
Che garden.house. As the girls disappeared
from the grounds the two men followed and
watched the young ladies replant the flowers
in each of their gardens. The FIRST impulse
OF the gardener was to have the girls arrest
ed, but upon further consideration he did
nothing that evening, and the next morning
the matter was plRce3 before the Capitol
Commissioners. Il is thought that this will
throw some light on the mysterious foot
prints which were recently mentioned as
having been discovered in the flower beds,
and that eventually the problem will be
solved without calling in any scientific Ioen.
