Comedy ut the Theatres.

Not since the tour of Charles Windham's
Criterion Company has Washington had the
opportunity of seeing such excellent come
dians as those composing Miss vokes' COM
pany. Too many of the professional people
whom we see on the stage are merely actors.
The members Of Miss yolzes' company are
ladies and gentlemen who interpret scenes
from life more or less ludicrously exagger-
ated. The three little comedies given last
evening at Albaugh's were most appreci-
atively received by the large audience pres
ent. In sour Bitterest Foe" Miss Leslie
Chester and Messrs. w. g. Elliot and
Courtenay. Thorpe assumed the characters
Miss Vokes and Mr. Brandon
Thomas won the same success that
they have gained in other cities in this
amusing comedietta. "a Pantomime Re-
hearsal" brought out the full strength of
the company. The acting of Messrs. Elliot
and Grossmith were the features. If crit-
cism can be made of the evenings enter
tainment 1t is to be made of the pieces
selected. "Our Bitterest Foe" while sus-
tanning the interest of the spectator, is not
skillfully concluded. 1t is brought to close
with rush. Prominence is given Henrfs
part. The roles Of Blanche aud the General
are equally deserving of consideration. But
they are slurred over. There Is too much
sameness in "a Pantomime Rehearsal"
The roles of Lord Arthur and Jack Deedes
stand out too sharply. But the absurdity
is most amusingly acted, and one loses
sight Of the plays defects in admiring the
players art. 1t is said that Miss Vokes will
return next season with O larger company,
and will perform the standard comedies. 1t
is to be hoped that she will do so. To
morrow SIN Honor Bound" neat little
comedy, Introducing Misses Chester and
Miller and Messrs. Elliot and Thorpe, will
be substituted, afternoon and evening, for
sour Bitterest Foe.'
The announcement OF Roland Reeds ap-
pearance in "Cheek" brought out fair
sized audience. The comedy is of differ
ent style from "lIumbug," and much
funnier, and gives greater opportunity for
Mr.. Reeds peculiar talents. 1t was nicely
done and greatly enjoyed. "Cheek"
should be seen to be appreciated. 1t will
be given tonight and at both performances

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Trareltor says that q sport
ing man here who is known all over
the country as of the "put.up.or-
shut.up" variety, offers to make the
following wagers upon the action of
the Democratic National Convention
OF 1883: First, that the candidate
chosen will come from west Of the ALE.

from one of two States; third, that he
can name the States; fourth, that he

rison of Illinois. He will wager 81 900
upon each of the five propositions.

ing. He is stopping at cheap
hotel in this city and is showing the
marks of advancing years. How many
people recall him at this day? Yet 1t is
less than ten years since his name was
in the papers every day, and he was
playing u great part in our national
life. We all remember that Mr.. Will
son was Solicitor of the Treasury when
Benjamin H. Bristow was Secretary of
that Department in the Cabinet of Gen
eral Grant He was one of the king
bees in the whisky ring investigation
and one of the movers in the conspiracy
against General Grants good name.
He is rather small man and, like all
men short of size, Is a nervous, quick,
aggressive spirit. full of ambition
and earnestness. He Is, / be-
lieve, fair lawyer and does a good
country practice in Springfield, Ill.
If he had kept within his own bounds
1t would have helped him, but when
he reached out in the realm of national
practice he found himself beyond his
depth. They tell me, however, that
Wilson stands his retirement first rate
and does not pine any more for the
loaves and fishes, the turmoil and dis.
appointments of official life. In this he
shows his good sense. Most men are
ruined in struggling to keep in the
glare Of public place after circum-
stances have put them on the dark
side. Yet what n change for Wilson.
When in the full flare of his official life
he used to stop at the Fifth Avenue
and register from Washington. d. G.
Now he goes to the Sturtevant House,
where the circus people stop, and puts
himself down from Springfield. Ill.
Then everybody knew him; now only
a few recognize the man Of power Of
ten years ago.

baseball Comment,

Up to the fourth inning yesterday It
looked as though the Portlands would
prove too much for Washington. At that
point the home nine began to pound
the visitors pitcher, and before the third
out had been declared Washington had 4
runs to its credit. In the next inning 8
more runs were added. The game finally
resulted; Washington, 10; Portland, 4.
Errors-Washington, Ia; Portland, 10.
Base hits--Washington, l5; Portland, O..
Altogether after the fourth inning 1t was a
poor exhibition.

tons yesterday an. Hines, c.,n scored 0.
lie also had "passed balls, 6,n Facts like
these worry the friends of the home nine.

FARM HORTICULTURE.

Various Points for tho Consideration of
Large and Small Pruit-Grewors.
One of tho greatest drawbacks to the
farmer is his desire to avoid as much
labor as possible. In certain sense
this is proper, but when the farmer
places his labor where it produces the
most instead of growing some crops be-
cause they are more easily attended to,
he will find himself gradually becoming
richer. If a small area can be made to
yield as large profit as large space, the
farmer should avail himself of such op-
portunities. We read of q gardener
near Baltimore, who sold crop of
gooscbcrries, in full bearing. on thir-
teen acres, for five hundred dollars an
acre This was more than could have
been secured from ten crops Of corn or
wheat, and ten times rs much labor
could have also been bestowed, yet the
crop saved nine years time as compared
with one Of grain.
We know of strawberry grower
whose crop cost him twenty-five cents
quart, yet he sold them At fifty cents q
quart when other growers were glad to
get o~e-fifth that price. It Was tho
laboc that made the crop valuable.
Had he slighted the vines in the least
his profit would have been changed to
loss. We are not favored with an
abundance of plums in our market,
simply because it requires time and
labor to battle with the curculio. yet
we can point to fruit grower whs an
l1u h,,u la ~ hr, ,hn1, "a
plums, and makes large profits by be-
slowing the necessary labor upon the
trees. while his neighbors, who consider
him as undertaking too much risk.
really do moro work, require several
years for so doing. and realize less.
The tendency at the present time is
to grow crops at the least expense,
but the question to consider is
whether the more economical modes
are being practiced. There is no
labor, if rightly and intelligently be-
slowed, that will not return itself four
fold. One may, however, do hard
days work, and find it Improbable
There is something else to be considered
other than the simple matter of labor
ing. The labor must be applied where
it will do the most good and produce
the greatest benefit. A crop of celery,
asparagus, plums or small fruits may
be costly to produce, but the profits will
correspond with the original outlay.
Our markets are sometimes "glutted"
with those articles that are grown with
but little risk, labor or attention, while
scarcity exists in other directions What
is desirable is that the farmer have no
specialties. His object should be to en-
deavor to produce those things which
he believes will be in demand, and not
to blindly sow his seed every yenr and
trust to chances for short supply of
the market. Field and Stock-
man.
