"We recently spent o short time at the Fall

time we had visited the hotel since its present
lessee, j. K. Martin, has been in charge, The
change created by Mr.. Martin is both surpris-
ing and agreeable. We fourd all shoddy airs
OF superiority abolished, and everything con-
Quoted on first-clsss principles. The attend
ants are very courteous and attentive, the
rooms are vol furnished and kept In good
order, the table is excellent, both In setting
and in attendance, and the food is we'll cooked

The Militia,

Some time ago the PRESS mentioned the
fact that the Governor and COMMANDMENT.
Chief had instituted court of inqairy to In
vestigate charges against Capt. @. w. Davis,

The statement of affairs OF the new Metro
politan Opera House, New York, shows an ex-
cess OF expenses over receipts to Feb. 1st Of

There was a good advance sale of seats at
Portland Theatre yesterday for Neil Burgess
performance OF VIM to be given FridayIand
Saturday next.
The Tribune says: "Mr Barrymore's new
play would take higher rank had 1t been
written In blank verse; but it would not then
so well have suited Nine. Modjeska, who, in
English blank verse, has never yet moved fres-
~. AS the play stands-although there is
maen waste OF words in it, and although its
comedy elements are vulgar-it suits her well;
and Nadlezda is, assuredly, one of her sue
ceEses."
Speaking OF the first production of ''Prin-
cess Ida, in New York, at the Fifth Avenue
Monday, tho Tribune critic says: "Near-
u all OF the few drawbacks of perfect per-
iormance were such as grow out OF the lack
from which our operstic stage is suffering. The
demand for men and women who can sing and
act 10 80 far in excess OF the supply that we
seldom see company nowadaysin which there
is not so great proportion of dilettanti as to
interfere with a perfect performance, This
fact has never obtruded itself more persistent
y than last night, for the simple reason that
Mr Gilbert has in this operetta raised the
plane OF his requirements, If not in dramatic
action, at least in dramatic elocution. The
performers in princess Ida" are obliged to
speak in blank verse, and it was sometimes
ooleful last night to observe how palpably the
men and women were out OF their depth in the
brighter portions of the dialogue. II the pres
emit liking for comic operetta endures the many
young men and women now in Italy, France
and Germany studying for the operate stage
will find it to their advantage to cultivate
those simple graces of voice and action which
suf1ice to carry the operettas of the English au-
thors and their emulators.'
