The rest Of the week, Edwin i. rhorne
will appear in he Black Flag Among the
English meiodramas that have been set
before the American public The Black
Flag is conspicuous for its clever COM
mingling of pathos ana humor. Its vivid
contrasting of tragedy andscomedy; its in
genious and staftingly realistic display Of
pictorial and mechanical effects; the strong
vein Of humanity which rams through its
story, and the capable m6hner III which it

About week and a half ago Manager
Somers laid a new rock-maple floor in the
Olympian Rink, and since that time not a
night has passed bat what the rink has
been crowded with ladies and gentlemen
from that part of the city surrounding the
rink Last weeks programme was COM
posed of fancy and trick skating, and games
of foot ball and polo, which were played by

better than last weeks, as we hear that
Somers will try and surprise his patrons if
it is within his power.

the programme for the different evenings
was al that could be desired, as the fancy
and trick skating was well done by. pro-
fessionals who rank among the finest in
the business, while the races were very
exciting. The entertainment provided for
next week will, doubtless, be very good, as
Manager Jones is always looking for some
thing out of common in the way of attrac-
tons.
Next week Florence Noble and Harry
Jackson will appear at Washburns Mu-
scum in the melodrama of ssQueen's Eyi-
dence," by the author of the '.Black Flag"
in which Edwin Thorne made such big
hit. The piece is strong in situations, and
has drawn large houses wherever it has
been played. Florence Noble is a finished
actress, and does the part of the blind
mother to perfection: while Harry Jackson,
in the part of Isaacs the Jew, is all that
clever omedian should be-
