OWEN, MOORE & CO.

PORTLAND, May 25th.
To meet the large and growing demand
by the ladies for an elegant and perfect
fitting low shoe for summer wear, we
have had made for us some special lots
Of fancy Oxfords. Wine, Brown, Olive,
Slate, Russell. Orange and Black are the
colors; the material are Ooze calf, Moroc-
co. Kids and Dongola. Made on perfect
fitting, stylish lasts by the best workmen
in the country, we believe these shoes to
be superior to any similar goods in this
market. We earnestly invite inspection,
and comparison with the best to be found
elsewhere; for we confidently believe
that our effort to get and present a
superior article win be appreciated by
all who enjoy fine footwear.
Vacation season. also, is close at hand,
when Tennis. Yachting and Bicycle
shoes will be the order OF the day.
To our usual assortment of these goods,
with which you are already familiar, we
have added many novelties for this sea-
son. that cannot be found elsewhere.
Now word to the gentlemen in clos
ing. We have just received an invoice Of
Russell, Goat and Seal Balmorals and
Oxfords, in narrow widths and wide, that
are now on exhibition price So to So.

THE OPERA HOUSE.
The First Subscriptions Already
Made,

Yesterday afternoon the eommittee from
the Board of Trade on the Opera House,
heid meeting at the Board of Trade rooms
ana the bylaws were presented for consider
alton and suggestions. These bylaws will
be adopted when the June meeting is called.
at which time the organization of the cor
poration will take place.
The subscription lists were started yester-
day and Messrs. Philip II. Brown, William
q. Davis and George S. Hunt, of the COM
mittee, each subscribed $1,000. This is a
very handsome start 1t is believed that
there are 20 gentlemen in town who will sub
scribe $1,000 apiece, and when these gentle
men have done so there will be $4,000
pledged. Then each branch of business in
Portland will have its representatives visited
and their subscriptions obtained, and it is
believed the necessary $4,000 can be easily
procured. In Bangor and Manchester the
opera houses are good investment. They
pay six per cent above running expenses, as
we are informed. The opera house corpora
ton here will be run like any other business
company. No stakeholder will have any
seating advantages in the house that the
public do not possess. They viii have their
money in the concern and will receive their
dividends as in any other company. All
who subscribe before the June meeting will
have the opportunity of voting for the board
of management and for the site for the build
ing. If the subscriptions are made promptly
as soon as $4,000 are subscribed there is no
reason why ground should not be broken
and the work begun. and the opera house
ready for next seasons entertainments. 1t
cannot be possible, when 1T is considered
what reputation Portland has as show
town, and the amount of money spent an
nually for theatricals. that the enterprise
would prove less successful here than in
smaller places with less advantages. If our
people take hold and show the interest the
committee has shown, we shall have reason
| to be proud of our new theatre.

The Julia Ann Of 1919.

The oldest vessel thath entered this port
for long time, is now moored here. The
attention of the Press man was called to
her yesterday, and investigation showed that
the craft is the Julia Ann, 27.41 tons, built
at Gloucester seventy years ago, and appar-
emily sound vessel today. She halls from
Deer Isle now, and has spent many years on
the fishing banks, whore she doubtless en-
countered many severe gales.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA,

PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.
One of the pleasantest features of the
Philharmonic Orchestra in our city is the
interest which it has created among our
amateur instrumentalists. Individual prac-
tice on an instrument is at times tiresome,
but the weekly rehearsals of the orchestra
afford an opportunity for practice in orches-
trail work which gives an additional incentive
to the daily work of of the young student.
In fact the place occupied by the Philhar-
monte is really that of an orchestral school.
Its membership is made up of young BUSH
ness men who find the rehearsals as inter-
esting as they are instructive. The final con-
cert of the season takes place at City Hall on
Wednesday evening next, on which occasion
they will be assisted by Miss Long, contralto,
and Mr.. George +. Duncan, baritone, in a
popular programme at popular prices The
seats can be secured at Stockbridge's.

H<WEN TY- FIVE,
u thirty-six and fifty
cents are the prices
we We put on three special
lots of Ladies fancy
Hosiery which have just
come to us, and a casual
glance at either of them
will be enough to convince
you that they're bargains
worthy of notice.
The 25c lot is a quanti-
ty of samples sent to the
importers from the makers
in Germany. They have
done duty as samples but
are in no way injured or
soiled, the fact that they
were used as samples how
ever furnished the excuse
needed for cutting the
price so we get them away
below their actual value
and are to sell them at the
same proportionate reduc-
ton.
There's no name that we
can think of that would be
descriptive of the fancy
figured hosiery that has
just arrived here. Made
for using with tennis, boat
ing and outing costumes,
shades of ground covered
with little figures of rack
cts, oars, bats, etc., strong
serviceable and best of all,
washable,-It's the most
striking hosiery novelty
this season has brought
out.
