MUSIC AND DRAMA.
BARNEY M'AULEY.

bAhNEx M AOLE1s
There was very good audience present at
the performance of "Uncle DAMP by Mr..
Barney McAuley at Portland Theatre last eve
ming. The great charm of Uncle DanT is
his native simplicity and utter freedom from
theatre effects. The quaint old deputy sheriff,
strong in his rugged honesty and the power Of
the law he represents, with face 80 mobile
that every heeting emotion Is mirrored thereon
as on the bosom of lake, was portrayed with
fidelity by Mr. McAuley that ELECTED con-
slant rounds of applause while his production
of the annihilator, as it always does, provoked
screams of laughter. Mr.. McAuley was very
well supported. Tonight he will appear in his
more recent but equally attractive creation,
the "Jerseyman."
THEODORE THOMAS.
The Theodore Thomas concert next Monday
evening will draw together as fine a musical
audience as is ever seen in City Hall, COM
posed, as it will be, of music lovers from sll
parts Of this county, and even from Kennebec,
York and Sagadahoc. The board at Stock
bridges already assumes the appearance that
betokens crowded house. Those people, con-
sequently, who say they won't buy tickets until
they know Thomas is here are making a mis-
take. When too late they will find they are
left in the cold If they apply for seats nov
rank in New York, will be heard in Portland
for the first time and great curiosity is evinc-
ed in regard to Thorn.
THE RoMANY RYE.
There was a good advance sale of seats at
the theatre yesterday for the performance of
the "Romany Rye" to take place next Mon
day evening. The piece has received great
deal OF fine scenery and some wonderful me-
chanism. The panorama change from the
gypsy encampment to the Royston monor is an
excellent piece of work, and the sinking of the
ship. at the close of the last act, remarkably
realistic affair. In the cast are rs people in
cludinglgypsies, sailors and policemen. Sew
eral excellent actors are included in the cast.
-Four Transformation scenes are included in the
many attractions. The manager asserts that
this melo- drama will be presented without any
discount on the advertised promises.

The Chicago Board of Trades Schemes to

CHICAGO, May 2.-The Board of Trade yesterday
took exclusive charge of the handling of its tele-
graphic quotations and other news. Heretofore
this work has been done by the Western Union Tel
graph Company, which had force of news gather
and operators on the board who transmitted the
markets. failures, ETC., to individuals and CONNER
cial exchanges throughout the country. The COM
pany, as common carrier, was unable to restrict
the dissemination of this news and the consequence
was that the Board of Trade was unable to prevent
the view of cutting off these bucket shops that the
board took the business out of the hands of the
Western Union. The contract which went into on
Grafton yesterday provides that the telegraph COM
pany shall merely transmit messages to points ad-
dressed, the board having its own operators and
form. The bucket shops hereare now una BILE to
post violations, and it is claimed the same is true

An Honorable Career.
The Christian Advocate of New York, MI

The Christian Advocate of New York, May
LIST, has the following:
REV. Charles j. Clark, delegate to the
general conference from Maine conference,
has had very interesting career. He was
manager of the periodical department in this
publishing house, when he resigned the posi-
ton % years ago. Mr.. Clark went to Port
land, Me-, as a lsyman and became a Sunday
school teacher in Chestnut street Methodist
church. He was soon elected superintendent
in the Sunday school, from which he entered
the ministry, and afterward became pastor Of
Chestnut street church, and is now presiding
elder of the Portland district. Four years ago
he was appointed one of the book committee
of our church and has superintendent during
the past four years the affairs Of the house in
which he was once clerk. To BIO pastor Of
the church and presiding elder OF the district,
where he was once lay member, and to
superintend the affairs of very large estab-
lishment in which he was once an employe by
virtue of authority given him by the entire
church, are two things either one of which
would be remarkable in the life of anv one
man; but that both should happen to the same
man is extraordinary"

the State convention three delegates at large were
elected to the National Convention. They are pro-
nouneed Arthur men, but go to Chicago uninstruct-
ed. One other delegate is still to be elected.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing President
Arthur's administration, denouncing the Demo
cratic Congress for precipitating tariff discussion
at an inoPportune time and favoring free tobacco.
A decided sensation was created by resolution
attacking Chairman Walter Evans, offered by John
D. White. The resolution congratulated the coun-
try the defeat Of the Whskey bill and said ave
regret the disposition of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue here present with regiment of
ofice-hoders to control this convention in the in
terest OF Arthur, and we denounce their action as
hurtful to the best interests of the Republican
party and as contrary TO the letter and spirit OF the
civil service laws"
Mr. Evans refused to entertain the resolution and
ascene of the greatest confusion followed, which
ended by the resolution being finally tabled.

Strength.
Lewiston Journal.)
The campaign for the delegations to the Ma
tional Convention has now practically closed
and Mr. Blaine counts 1868 delegates gaining
in Minnesota and in Maryland more than
on Wednesday were claimed by his friends.
This brings the Plumed Knight within 43
votes of nomination on the first ballot, and
indicates how much stronger Mr.. Blaine is now
than in the preliminary contest of four years
ago, when on the first ballot, he fell 167 votes
short of a nomination. Only the most IRON
clad tenacity of all the other candidates and
delegates can defeat Mr.. Blaine's nomination.
1t is believed that Mr.. Logan will control
votes enough to nominate Mr.. Blaine, and
that he will be disposed to withdraw early in
the contest. The squirting toward the dark
horse is noticeably diminishing, as the date OF
the assembling of the Convention-four weeks
from next Tuesday, draws near.
