beautiful grove and surroundings offering
attractions scarcely to be surpassed, the
wild flowers in bloom and the grass fresh
and forming q velvety carpet, every one
who can get away from town will be de-
lighted with the opportunity afforded. Two
trains will be run, the first leaving the

may leave their lunch baskets to be called
for by the committees wagons. 1t will
not be necessary to take lunch along, how
ever as arrangements have been made to
have it supplied on the grounds at q very
reasonable price.

tan Theater last night, and proved its at
tractiyeness by drawing a good house. 1t
is by far the best work of the Grismer-
No. I.1 Tpar,
line March does some thoroughly finished
acting 1t is an admirable art effect in her
hands, and complete in its rounded pro-
portions. The lady's ability and special
excellence i'll the difficult role was recog-
nized last night by a sincerely warm call
before the curtain Not whit less effect
i've or artistic is the work OF Thomas A
Wise as Ceneri. 1t rises superior to that of
any other male character in the play, and
is entitled to rank among the best examples
of dramatic art presented by recent stock
companies. So, too, with Webster's Ma
carl. which, with the single objection of
too much vociferatiOn, is excellent work.
called Back will be repeated tonight.
