MARGARET MATHER On Satur-

closed the most remai kable engage

Remarkable, because of its brill

tically. Heretofore an engagement
OF a week with Romeo and Juliet
was sufficient TO rest the popularity
OF the most famous in the character
but Miss Nather has not only held
her own for eighty-fuur consecutive
nights, but has so impressed her
patrons as to make of each walk
ing advertisement. There is no
doubt regarding Miss Mather's
ability 10 continue in the character
OF Juliet for an unlimited period
did not her physique forbid. Prob
ably no character in the whole
range of the legitimate drama is so
exacting as Juliet.
She will appear at the Opera
house next Friday evening.

OCTOBER
TIE sTs-E FAIR.

The animal Nevada State Fair
11ened at Reno yesterday with ar
j uIeIse crowd of lovers OF horse
flesh and live stock at the Fau
GOunds.
The Fair this year is long WAY
ahead of any previous one, and es-
erything seems to be going along
without hitch. The large exhib-
ITS Of stock, manufactured articles
and agricultural products demon
st ate the fact that Nevada has a
bright future to look to, and the
time is not far distant when it will
rank second to none in wealth in
proportion to the population.
Every county in the State is rep
resented either in one department
OF another. Ormsby county also
takes up large amount OF space
in the Pavilion and in the live stock
department. California also came
to the front with creditable exhibits
in all the departments.
As an advertisement of the
States products the Fair is grand
success, and visitors from adjacent
States and Territories are not lit
tie surprised at the magnitude oil
the exhibits at the Pavilion and
track.
TIE managers have done al; in
their power to make this Fair what
it should be, and the general YER
diet is that no one will 60 away at
the end of the week dissatisfied
with the treatment received at
the hands of the Directors and
the people of Reno generally.
1t is pleasing to note that trains
arriving at Reno are loaded with
visitors to the Fair, whereas depart
ing trains have very few passen-
gers.
The big Combination Sale at
tracted a large crowd of people
looking for bargains, and you could
get almost anything you wanted at
your own figures.
The State Fair of 1889 is voted
to meet all expectations in every
particular.

If Administrator Henry F. Morgan and Dr F. J. Peek, whose claims against the estate of Andrew !.

Trenchard holds power of attorney from the four children of his first wife and contends for half of the es. tate, denying that Mrs Shuart is daugh. ter of Andrew. Asher Peck, who makes the same statement about Hattie Shuart, asks for the other half.
