Elite Tragic Event--Appearence of
the great Tragedian, Robt. Downing,
at Elders Opera House, Wednesday,
Nov. IA.
The engagement for one night, in
this city, of the brilliant tragedian,
Robt. Downing, undsr the manage
ment of Mr.. J. II. Mack, promises to
be an event in theamusement history
of GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Downing will
appear in his great character of
"Spartacus," in which he has
achieved a phenomenal success.
His company embraces a number of
names Of great prominence, includ-
ing Miss Eugene Blair, a most tai
ented actress and a handsome wo-
man. Miss Helen Tracy, who for
several years was the leading support
to John Mccullough. Mr.. Harry
Meredith, an actor of rare talent, and
/ the author of several plays which
have made his name familiar. Chas.
Hermann, a young Juvenile leading
man, who has for several years been
great attraction ia the East, togeth-
er with a number of prominent artists
formerly with BoothMcCullough,
Mary Anderson and other stars of
note. The New York Herald says:
"After Forrest and Mccullough
passed away it was thought there
would be none to succeed them. But
the man of the hour was at hand in
the person of Robert Downing. Pos
sessed of the physique Of a gladiator
and the spirit of an artist, he is pecu-
liarly constltutei-handsome, strong,
lusty, muscular. His voice, which
might have served for Stentor's in
the days of old, has in the milder
\ moods of character musical sweet
ness, rich, melodious, vibrant, that
delights the nearer. His face is firm,
positive, resolute in cast, and yet Is
strikingly handsome, obedient to the
expression of every varying emotion.
In intellectual power Mr.. Downing is
the most promising of the young &C
tors, for the fine intelligence that
marks his work is tempered and
qualified by the modesty of a sound
Judgment. Manly in whatever he
does earnest, sincere, conscientious
always seeming to think the char
acter greater than himself Fortu.
nately for him he is in most capable
hands. Manager Mack gives him the
advantage of superior surrounding,
and the supporting company is a
strong one, comprising prominent
members formerly supporting For
rest, Fechter, Mccullough and Salyi-
nj, among them the beautiful Miss
Eugene Blair, who has made an en-.
viable reputation in leading juvenile
parts, Miss Helen Tracey,who gained
the highest praise as leading support
to John Mccullough, Mr.. Harry
Meredith, a robust, heroic actor OF
renown, and Mr.. Chas. Hermann,
a great favorite among the Eastern
| cities ,,

The eauinoctial rains, followed by strong
winds, have settled the roads in high places,
and travelling has been rendered more posi-
BILE, but there remains much room for i'm
provement, and as we toll along through the
mud we notice that in various places either
side of the road is higher than the centre,
which in case of heavy fall of water is
obliged to serve as drainage. The result
then is that instead of the drainage being in
its proper place, at the side, 1t is in the road
bed. On the other hand, we find in many
instances that the depressed condition neces.
states the water remaining where 1t falls until
absorbed by the earth, which is rather slow
process at this season of the year. The
thought presents itself to our minds that a
radical change, which is absolutely necessary,
could be made when the time for repairing
and keeping the roads in order comes again,
by elevating the bed of the road so as to form
channel on either side to receive the water
