Entertainments.


WILSON AND RANKIN'S NEW MINSTRELs.
Wilson and Rankin's new MINISTRIES ap-
pear at the New Haven Opera House next
Tuesday evening, August 10th. A Scranton,
Penn, paper says: They gave about the
best and most novel performance ever given
in Scranton. This seems like putting it
pretty strong, but it is quite true. The cur
tain rose on the olio at o'clock, and for
about an hour the audience was entertained
with new songs, sentimental and comic and
a series of new jokes gotten off only such
end men as Jerry Hart, Charles Goodyear
and Wilson and Rankin can perpetrate them.
The song ''Write Loving Letter TO Your
Mother" very pretty ballad sung by Mr..
W. Mack, is particularly worthy of mention.
The Pulaski brothers are wonders as aero
bats and eontortionists, and astonished the
audience with some of their feats, which
were interspersed with funny situations The
Paranellas are musical wonder, which, to
use trite expression, fwere alone worth the
price of admission" They represented the
PAYERS of Paris, and appeared upon street
scene with brooms, shovels, picks, hammers.
stone chisels, Founders and other pa1apher-
MALTA for paving streets, and with them and
the paving stones themselves rendered
sweet and marvellous music that the audi
ence went wild over it ard recalled them
again and again.
The song and dance artists gave "Oh, My,
How They Pose," in which high degree of
skill is shown, evidently the result of careful
and diligent drill and training. George
Wilson, in his speciality of making few
'incongruvial remarks to the audience, is
inimitable and irresistible and sustained his
reputation last night, for he convulsed his
hearers with laughter until he was tired
himself The entertainment concluded with
burlesque entitled "He'H Stay Away" in
which Charley Goodyear immortalized him
col Will oil, wal
come Wilson & Rankin, for they always have
good show.

THE RIVER AND HA RBOR BILL

Approved by the President as the Re
silt OF His Conferences With Lead ding
Military Engineers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-To United Press
reporter the President said to-day that an
examination of the river and harbor bill in
the light of the facts presented to him by
General Newton, chief of engineers of the
army, and General Burke of the engineer
corps, with whom the President conferred on
the subject, mad convinced him that on the
whole the interests of the government de-
manded its approval. General Newton,
whose knowledge of the condition of the
present works and the necessities for the fu-
tured was based on reports made to him by
the engineer corps of the army, assured the
President that the items in the bill, all but
eight in number comprising less than one
per cent. of the amount appropriated, were
merltorlous beyond question and that while
he in no manner condemned these he was
unable to give q positive opinion because
of lack of complete information concerning
them. The Presidents has made
as thorough an examination of
these items as possible, and although
with such reports were at hand he had
been unable to absolutely satisfy himself as
to their character, he found that all appeared
to be for the continuation of work already
begun and now in the course of construction.
The President said he had gone over the bill
as fully as the data at hand and the time per-
mitted him for the purpose allowed and while
some of its provisions not included in the
items above mentioned were probably OBJ
jectionable, he was satisfied that the most of
the Improvements provided for were of great
Importance and had found that the loss
which would ensue to the government
from the deterioration of existing works
in case of further stoppage would
be very serious, and the amount of
money, estimated by the War department at
not less than half a million dollars, which
would be required to protect and preserve
the work begun and in progress upon which
many millions have been expended would, in
case of a failure to continue it now, exceed
by about $500, 900 the amount appropriated
in the bill, which in the judgment of the
government engineers may be unnecessary.
The present bill is smaller than for any like
period in several years. The appropriation
for the period ending in 1886 was $19 1885, |
875; that for the period ending in 1885 s14,-
94S, 300, and this for the period ending in |
1887 is 81, Ala, 300

Thus the Priscilla beats the Mayfower As
seconds, the Puritan 2 minutes 4S seconds
and the Atlantic 81 minutes 35 seconds. The
schooner Sachem wins, beating the Montauk
5 minutes 81 seconds. The race was close
one and much of it was fraught with
excitement. On. leaving New London
the breeze, though fair, was light
and the start was such in the
estimation of many as to preclude the posi-
bility of justice in pronouncing the race
fair test of ability. There were a large
number of yachts to start and those FIRST over
the line had a decided advantage, as their
rivals were severely blanketed. 1t was slow
and tedious amusement for the first twelve
and fourteen miles and what real
sailing was done was done in about
three hours. Although they had the tide
in their favor until Point Judith was reach
ed, there was hardly a moving breeze for the
first twelve or fourteen miles. When off
Apple Tree Point they took good one which
showed the first signs of weakening as the
first yacht made the finish. 1t continued fair
and the run to Point Judith where they
struck the head tide was all that could have
been asked for.
The race between the gigs and cutters,
which arranged to take place
tomorrow, has been given up and will not
come off, though there is talk among the
captains of scrub race between a number
of local boats 1t is understood that E. D.
Morgan offered to back Kings "Zippo" for

night with the hundred of lights rising and

was also voted to send floral tribute to New
Orleans for next Decoration day in memory
of the 1877 comrades who buried in the
Chalmette cemetery there. 1t was also voted
to attend next fall the unwilling of
the soldiers monument, now in process of
erection, in St. Demands cemetery. There are
about 100 members of the old Ninth G. v.
buried in St. Bernard's cemetery. Report was
made that the number of names of the
soldier dead of the Ninth @. V. on the
Bridgeport soldiers monument is greater
than that of any other regiment that went

comrades in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Cali

One of the passengers who WAS aboard
train from Providence yesterday afternoon
relates some amusing occurrences that hap
pened as a result of the bursting of the ca
BILE on the drawbridge across the Connecticut
river at Lyme. The train having come to
standstill inquiries were made by the pas
sengers as to the cause of the delay, but the
railroad officials were apparently unprepared
to offer an explanation. Many of those
aboard were hungry, and after waiting three
hours determined to walk to Saybrook in
search of something to eat, and succeeded in
reaching the place after crossing the disa-
bled bridge on a plank not over twelve
inches in width. During the interim several
of the party played base ball in the neigh
boring fields, while some amused themselves
bv playing whist with the side of satchel
as card table. At one house number in
search of something to eat came across some
bananas, peanuts and Bass ale. The male
passengers all made dash for the latter,
but the only two bottles were appropriated
by a burly son of Erin, who took not a long
time in making away with their contents.

Plenty OF Helm to Re HAD.

SOUTH FRAMINGHAM, Mass, August o.
It is learned authoritatively that when the
works of the Para Rubber company shut
down temporarily Saturday it was the inten-
ton of the management to effect wholesale
discharge of its help for the purpose of get
ting rid of certain Objectionable parties who
were not desired in the factory, the plan be-
ing to allow the new superintendent to hire
such of the old help as he chose to. About
three-fourths of the working force of eleven
hundred were paid off and discharged to-day
Most of these return to work if they so
desire. The weekly pay roll of the concern
is upward of 10000. 1t had been planned
to make such extensive alterations and ad-
ditions that the working force would be be-
tween twelve hundred and thirteen hundred
people, but for the present all improvements
are suspended. The firm has just advertised
for fifty girls to learn to make rubber shoes
and plenty of applications are being received
