MUSIC AND DRAMA.
HAYERLY's MINsTRELs.

HANEKL1 Dl1NSlhELs.
1t is not long since this celebrated min
strel troupe appeared in Portland and was
greeted by crowded houses. The patronage
received was merted by the excellence of
the entertainment. The Cragg family alone,
in their wonderful acrobatic feats, would be
considered an immense attraction in the
most 6lase community. Theevolutions of the
blacksmiths and the Pythian parade are
both intensely interesting. Add to these
the excellent singing, the fresh crisp jokes
and recitations, and bill is presented OF
great drawing power. Be sure and secure
your seats at Portland Theatre during the
day, for tonight the company will appear.
THE A1IKADo.
From the fact that Manager Stetson decid-
ed to play his fine Opera company at City
Hall two more nights, tonight and tomorrow
night, it is natural to suppose that Metiopol-
itan managers think well Of Portland as a
theatrical city and as there was general
request for the company to remain, it is also
evident that the Mikado has a very strong
hold upon the affections of our people. Both
tonight and tomorrow night every lady pur-
chaser of a seyenty-fye cent seat will receive
a satin toilet mat, edged with lace and hand
painted picture of the three little maids
The enlarged orchestra, under the able di-
rection of Mr.. Mullaly, will remain and the
production will receive every attention to de-
tail as before. This is positively the last OPP
portunity of witnessing the Mikado, as the
company close for the summer at the explra-
ton of this week, and six of the principals
and Business Manager Schroeder sail for
England May 25th.
RAG BABY.
Manager Newell has again effected an en-
gagement of the play that has created such
furore entitled "a Rag Baby" by Chas. ii.
Hoyt, author of ga Tin Soldier, Bunch of
Keys etc., under the management of Eu-
gene Thompkins of the Boston Theatre. The
play will be given at Portland Theatre, Fri
day and Saturday, May 81 and %, headed by
