edy next Wednesday evening at tn
Opera House, iu the appearance o
the famous actor and author, Leon
ard Grover. There are very few &C
tors before the American public to.
day that are better known than thi
gentleman. He has appeared ir
every principal city of the United
States aud with great success. Per
haps his fame as an author as vel
as actor has something to do with
this, as "Our Boarding House" il
acknowledged the very best Ameri.
eau comedy before the public to-day,
The two actors, r bison and Crane,
who have been made famous through
this play have realized a fortune
from it. In the two great characters
of Col. Elevator aud Professor Gill;
pod, we will have a Leonard Grover,
ST., and Leonard Grover, Jr.
If the information is correct, Mr..
John Mcguire pays this company a
vsry large certainty for their appear
ance here for f,ur nights, and he has
sufficient confidence in the:ability
and liberality of our citizens to justi-
fy him in his speculation of the
Grover engag ement. AS a compli-
ment to the autnor-actor and also to
Mcguire for his energy and enter
prise in furnishing first-class attrac-
tions every seat ought to be filled for
the entire engagement, which, on
account of Mr.. Growers engage
ments. is limited to four nights only.
New York Copper Market.
The New York Engineering and
Mining Journal of Sept. LIST says of
the copper market:
Though quiet, the market exhibits
considerable tirmness, the only sup
plies of lake copper available being
from second hands. We note sales
Of from 100000 to 300, 600 pounds of
lake copper at 1Ss@1Sic. Many buy
ers indicate their willingness to take
lake at 1'c, but there is little Offer
ing. Other kinds are naturally
scarce, and the range remains 14l@
l44c, according to brand.
A determined eff'rt is apparently
making to create the impression that
almost under any circumstances the
statistical position here warrants
higher prices. There is no doubt
that it is favorable, but the fact
should not be forgotten that we are
down to the worlds market.
We can not for any length of time
a much higher range of
prices. A rise here, not accOmpa-
MED by a corresponding rise abroad,
could be only shOrt-lived. 1t would
divert into this market fur
mace material which now goes
abroad, and the equilibrium would be
quickly restored. If this quantity
of copper which could thus be shifted
were small and readily controlled,
We might part company with the rest
of the world. But it is heavy and
would promptly force us down to the
general level This fact should be
cor. stantly borne in mind. No figur-
ing can brush it aside.

Conway was a hot favorite at the
pool~box Great Western selling for
second choice at a fair price, while
MOslem sold for d song. The result
was a surprise to all. Moslem showed
unlooked-fnr speed and bottom, and
was with the gang at
the finish every time. There
was con siderable jockeying at the

Conway broke and run for a hundred
feet or so and took the pole, and

Western a length at the score, the
latter beating Moslem by a neck.
Time 3.O14. The driver of Great
Western entered a protest against the
Judges awarding the heat to Conway
on account of the latter's running.
There was great excitement in the
crowd and the decision of the judges
was looked for with much interest.
The point was one which the
Judges took time to consider.
As their decision WOulu serve
as q precedent for the fu
ture these gentlemen consulted al
the rules and regulations governing
such cases. They finally gave th'
heat to Great Western on &C
count of COnway's running the
short distance. The decision was
generally applauded as one in th'
direct line of fair and square racing.

Nineteen years ago he was what was termed
