THE BoU1NE PARADOX.

The children were out in force yesterday
afternoon. They crowded Portland Theatre to
repletion and when the horses were going
through with their tricks they were as quiet as
"church mice" When horse completed its
task then the childish applause and laughter
rang through the theatre. The performance was
one of the best of any kind ever given in the
city, and we are glad to know the children
will have two more opportunities to see the
horses, one on Friday and the other on Satur.
day afternoons There will be but five more
performances and those of our readers who
thought the Paradox would remain another
week must improve one of these occasions.

A shipbuilding Enterprise I'm the south.

new enterprise just organized in the South by
New Englanders is the Virginia Iron Shipbuilding
Co., which, with capital of Ia million dollars will
build iron and steel ships at Alexandria. The Co. is
composed of wealthy and energetic business men of
Boston and Maine, among whom are Captain j. b.
Thomas OF Boston, Capt. q. e. Goss of Bath, Mr..
e. +. Moody of Boston and other men of like char
acter and prominence. They have purchased a
large AZ ca OF properts having frontage of thous-
and feet on the Potomac, with depth of hirty
feet at the shore. He they will obtain by com
paratvely moderate investment of money the fines
iron ship yard in the United States. These CAPT al
lists have carefully considered this matter and act
ed advisedy in selecting Alexandria the place to
establish this great enterprise. They believe IT to
be the IL ost favorable point to which bring iron
and coal to tide water for shipbuilding purposes.
They expect to bring their entire force of working
men from elsewhere as there are no available skill
ed mechanics such as they desire in Alexandra.
Two prominent Boston geutl- men will soon sal for
Scotland to secure force of workingmen from the
CLYDE establishments, where shipbuilding is now
very dull. The main advantage possessed by the
locality selected is that of climate. 1t s believed
that uorkingmet. in that climate can labor out If
de- ors more days In the year THAI anywhere else in
the Cnited States. Asstill more important consid-
Grafton is that the medium temperature makes it q
much better place rYet iron and steel plates to-
gether than any pint either TO the north OF the
south Of the Potomac. II is expected that work
will be begun a 2O00-ton iron vessel during the
present season.
