THE CIGIR TAN.
The Effects OF Its Abatement Not
DiscernabIe.

hhS VI tUt
DiscernabIe.
Upon inquiry among several leading
retail dealers in tobacco and cigars it was
learned that since the abatement of the
tax on the "weed," the wholesalers
have made slight reduction in prices.
The retailers, however, have net yet
felt the effects of the cut down sufficiently
to enable them to reduce prices any, and
from present Indications, none will be
made for some time to come.
1t is inferred that the wholesaler and
retailer have divided the amount of tax
abatement among themselver as profits.
The former, however, maintain they
make better quality of cigars than
formerly or that they work up better
stock. The consumers are unwilling to
admit this, as they fail to detect any
improvement in the quality of cigars and
think if there is any it is 80 trifing that
none but the manufacturers have found

Forepaugh,s Accommodations.

Different statements are given of the
dimensions of Forepaugh's Hippodrome and
Amphitheatre, but many agree in saying
that its circumference measures 1,74f feet;
the whole length 6l9 the whole width 513.
The length of the arena is 800 feet; the width
of it 100. The height of the outer wall,
now that the soil has been cleared away,
which had risen 12 or Ii feet, is stated at
179 feet; which is certainly very great, but
hardly sufficient to warrant the assertion OF
Ammianus, that "the human eye-sight can
scarcely reich the top of it." According to
history, 81 900 persons could be accomo-
dated in the seats; and it seems probable
that 20 900 more could have found places
above. This seems au almost incredible
number but it is perhaps still more extra
ordinary that 100000 persons should have
been found SO frequently to fill it. The
chariot races, which constituted such an at
traction to the citizens of Rome, centuries
ago, Mr.. Forepaugh now presents to tht
public in his revived Roman Hippodromt
which is to exhibit here next Monday.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in speaking OF
the opera "Perichole" which will be pre-
sented at the Opera House tonight by the
Winston and Gordon Comic Company, says:
In this opera, JEANNE Winston has achieved
marked success, and has attained cnce more
the lofty position she has held as comic
opera prima donna. She is ably supported
by the company, which contains score of
popular performers. The hit made by the
street singers is decided, and the audience
have grown in numbers at each succeeding
| performance.
Those of our citizens who were fortunate
enough to see "Squatter Sovereignty" in
New York city say that it is one of the
funniest comedies now on the stage. Harri-
gan and Hart, the two noted Irish
Comedies, are the orginators of this ex-
tremely funny piece, which has for its sub
iect the sauatters found in the northwestern
| part of the city of New York. This comedy,
with all the scenery and good list OF
comedians, will be presented at the Opera
| House tomorrow night.

A oNE-sIDED GAME OF BASE
BALL.
THE OLBvELAND's WALK OVER.
Careless Playing Yesterday Adds Another
Defeat TO the QuicksteP's RecOrd-Mc-
Kennie's Good Work.

The Cleveland base ball team made It's
second appearance in Wilmington yesterday
and for the second time defeated the Quick
step nine. About 800 spectators were
present and the home players, despite their
general poor fielding, were warmly ap-
plauded whenever a good point was made.
The CIicksteps, evidently smarting
from their defeat by the Athletic,
appeared nervous and excited, and fumbIing
of balls and muffing of fly catches caused
fully one half of the runs, made and scored
by the visitors. Shallax pitched for the
Wilmington players, and his balls were
literally knocked all over the field" In
the sixth inning he was put at short and
Pyle stepped into the holes, while Albert
went to centre and Barber, who was evidently
enjoying an ''off day." changed places with
Smiley at third. Pyle's pitching seemed to
bother the heavy hitters from Ohio, and
they found much difficulty In striking the
powerful balls rapidly sent In. Bradley, the
visitors pitcher, struck out once
same thing second time. Albert
exhibited his pluck and skill at the bat in
com mmendable manner. at one time sending
a long hit to centre, even though tenn
porarlly crippled by ball, direct from the
pitcher, which struck him on the hip.
McKenna, the new catcher, was a general
favorite with all the spectators, and the
manner in which he played call over the
field" proved him most valuable
acquisition to the team. The visitors,
who have not yet been beaten this season,
are only accredited with three more safe
hits than their opponents. Both clubs made
several miserable errors.
The official score is given as follows
