The Taverniers.

On Saturday night the Tayernier
troupe concluded their season here.
having given six entertainments and
matinee. The dramas presented
we're Queena, Pygmalion and Gala
tea, Lynwood, New Magdalen, Romeo
and Juliet, Fanchon the Cricket, and
Arrah ma Progue.
On Friday night benefit was tend
cred to Miss Van Cortland, the dra-
ma being Romeo and Juliet. The
audience was the largest ever assem-
bled in the Opera House. Extra seats
were placed in the parquet, chairs
were occupied in the aisles, and the
orchestra were obliged to vacate their
places in order to accommodate those
who desired to be present. The noted
play of Shakespeare was acted by Miss
Van Cortland, Clarence Holt and the
other members of the troupe, in man.
ner that met the warm approval of
the large audience.
Miss Van Cortland, as Juliet, gave
her many friends here new revela-
ton of her great ability as an actress.
Her representation of that character
at many places was realistic. In the
part where she was depicting the hor-
rors that might greet her when she
awoke in the tomb, she was magni6-
cent, and the scene seemed for mo-
ment to be real. The concluding
scene at the tomb was powerfully act
ed. The Houtdet of Mr. Holt was al
so fine representation and that adj
mirable actor fully rendered the ar
tistic work expected of him. He is
a favorite here.
Immediately after the balcony
scene was over, the curtain arose. On
the stage was magnificent floral de-
sign in the shape of a horseshoe, with
the words "Ida Van Co.. worked in
the center in flowers. Prosecuting at
torney Mcnamara was standing close
beside it. Miss Van Cortland now
appeared and was addressed in an adj
mirable manner by Mr.. Mcnamara.
He stated how century ago the call
ing of an actor was despised one,
giving illustrations. Then he showed |
what great change had taken place,
and that now the calling of the actor
or actress was an honorable one, whose
great mission was not only to amuse
the people, but also to instruct them.
He then, in behalf Of the many friends
of Miss Van Cortland, presented her
with the floral emblem as token of
the great regard they entertained for
her in her upward climb to the front
rank of the profession she adorned.
Miss Van Cortland answered with
short but deeply grateful reply. in
which she returned thanks for the
beautiful testimonial. She said there
was no city she so much regretted to
leave as Alpena, and no city that gave
her so much pleasure to return to.
We can say that the floral testimo-
nal was one that truly represented
he warm regards with which Miss
Van Cortland e held BY the thea

ter going people Of this city. 1t was
token Of sincere respect, and with it
went what is far better than flowers
the feelings of good will and admira-
ton that the large audience entertain
ed for her, who, in connection with
the other members of the troupe, have
given the citizens SO may pleasurable
moments. An evening with the Tav-
erniers can not fail TO be an enjoya-
BILE one. The hours speed away rap
idly. Time flies. Enjoyment reigns
supreme master, and when the specta-
tor leaves the Opera House it is with
pleasurable feeling and the knowledge
that the evening has been we'll spent.
Another character of Miss VanCort-
land that pleased us greatly was Gal
eatea, when she represented marble
statute that became animated with
life. Her amazement at the strange
world she had suddenly been ushered
into, without any knowledge of the
world or its people, was fine crea-
tion and beautifully portrayed.

The new steamship Nike, which is
owned by the Messrs Comstock and
Churchill, arrived at this port last
Thursday, and has been loaded with
some $4,000 feet of lumber. She is
one of the finest steamships that has
ever entered this port, and is under
the command of the well known Capt.
Edwards, formerly of the steamer
Pearl. She is 206 feet long, 80 feet
beam and the depth of hold is 10 feet.
Her lines are graceful, and she is fitted
out in first class shape. The boiler is
on the main deck, thus giving more
room in the hold for slowing freight.
She is painted black, has three spars,
and pony boiler furnishes the neces-
sary power for hosting freight and
other work. Her cabin is large and
finely fitted up. The steamship when
loaded drew only 12s feet aft. Her
boiler is 12x12t feet. The engine is
a fore and aft compound one. She
has eight pumps. Her deck load was
nearly II feet high.
