The entertainment given at this house las
night by the IRWIN Brothers BIG Speciality
Show was much enjoyed by a very hume
rOus audience. The performances we're no.
vel and the COMEDY portions most amusing.
The exhibition opened with the three bro
ther. Nav, who as bar performers can
hardly be equslled. Gordon and Lick m
their mu.ica. comedy, "Thc Other Fellow"
were pr0tcients on the various IN
strumenls they played. George Nash on
bis single wheel was n decided expert.
Tue T~0 Macs, irish comedians, were ex-
ccelingly funny. The pyramid tumblers did
au they undertook. Air. EdWards's jump
fron thirty feet, turning a double somer-
slult, was done With a precision and case
that apparently disarmed It Of its danger.
Miss L0ttie Gibson IN her Nan, Poor
Man, - showed that she was the singing
sou1rette.v and she was three times eRc0red.
Then came n Richmond iayOrite-Alic Ray
moud pretty ~ eyer-Who, after PLAYING
the national airs, N a subdued tone play
ed Annie Laurie, arOusIBg great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Charles q. Seymour in his limitations
Of prominent actors was much appreciated,
each imitation being Immediately recOg.
hized by old thcatTe-gOers. The Wesley
Brothers, as "The long and short Of It,"
were good. Mr.. James IRWIN was simply
wonderful. performing on the swinging
trapeze. The concluding farce was full OF
fun. and excited rOars of laughter.
The man who stands on his head on the
swinging tIapeZe Is the most daring per-
former ever seen here.
The entertainment Is void Of offence and
full OF fun and interest. II will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow.

BALTIMORE, November ia curious
complication has arisen In regard to the

counted one Of the judges, through Igno-
rance, put the t,lly-sheet into the ballot-bOx
and locked II up. The law forbids the box

how legally TO secure the official returns the
Judges az the district are puzzled TO know.
Judge Stone has been appealed to, but
II Is feared that he may declare
he has no iursdchon and cannot
order the lal'ol-bOX 10 he reopened.
In that event there Is only one course TO be
pur.ued. Fortunately the new boxes are
