management to say that the various
railroad lines will sell round-trip
tickets from all points for an addition
of one-fifth the price OF one fare. The

The steamer Detroit has been re-
ceiving her finishing touches at the
Second street wharf the past week.
She is now nearly ready for business
and will enter in n few days on route
extending from this city to Seattle
and Kamilchie. She will be COM
manded by Capt. Malany, one OF her
owners. The Detroit will be one of
the fastest boats on the Sound; her
great length in proportion to her
breadth, and the immense power for
the size of the boat, giving her adj
vantages in this respect possessed by
very few Of our local steamers. She
resembles very much in build the

Our people will have q rare treat
Tuesday night, in the presentation, by
the Atkinson Dramatic Co., of one of
the most successful comedies ever
written" Peck's Bad Boy" Who has
not read those inimitable sketches of
youthful depravity without breaking
into broad grin at the grotesque
through natural scenes so graphically
presented Their name is legion,
and all such will want to see a drama
tiled version OF their ideal bad boy.
Mr.. Atkinson's company is the origi-
nal impcrsonator of this great success,
and the manager is the owner of the
copyright of the piece. The Post-In-
telligencer, in abiding to late presen-
tation Of this drama in Seattle, says:
"The play is a ripping, rolicking
farce, and keeps the audience in .
continual state of laughter from the
time the curtain raises until it falls
at the end of the last act. Many
specialties have been introduced by
members of the company which add
materially to its attractiveness. "The
bad boys" pranks and the way in
which he worries the corner grocery
man are highly amusing, and Mr..
Williams, who takes this part, imper-
sonates the lad to projection.
