MAY-nAY CARNIVAL.

MAf-DAY CARNIVAL.
The carnival at City Hall drew two very
large audiences yesterday afternoon and last
evening, and the songs, drills and tableaux
were loudly applauded and much enjoyed.
| The blue-bell song and chorus, employed
twenty young misses and one hundred sleigh
bells. The very pretty tamborine dance
was executed by sixteen young ladies. Mrs.
j. N. Pike ana Miss Carrie f. Jennings read
most acceptably. The fancy and silent
drills by the twelve young ladies from Deer
| ing and the Portland Cadets were admirable
Miss Maud White sang a vocal selection
prettily, and Master Anderson accompanied
by Tommy Glynn.
The cantata of strange Visitors" proved
a great attraction. There were drills and
tableaux by SO young ladies, and music by a
chorus of hundred voices. All the nations
were represented and Miss Maud l.. Ball
danced the Highland Fling. The tableaux
were exceedingly well arranged and very
pretty.
JED PRoUTY.
Richard Golden, in "Old Jed Prouty," will
appear at the Portland Theatre tonight and
tomorrow evening. Golden's success seems
to be settled fact, otherwise his manage
ment might not have made so bold recently
as to place him in the vast Philadelphia
Academy, which has no established follow
ing, especially in the dramatic line. The
properties in the piece will be of the genuine
stamp. The auxiliaries will hail from the
| backwoods, with the realistic "hayseed III
their hair" Altogether, the production will
be fully as complete as when put on here
last season. Dora Wiley. whese singing is
one of the chief features Of the play, takes
| a very important part in the denouement, as
1t is said that when girl she often sang to
the old inn-keeper in his arm chair on the
hearth. She was as famed then as 1.-THE
Sweet Singer of Maine," as she is today.
ALVIN JosLIN.
Next Wednesday Charles Davis will be at
Portland Theatre in calvin Joslin" A
quartette of singers with sweet voices is in
troduced into very pretty farmhouse
scene and several times thereafter through
out the play.
sToCKBRIDGE's COMPLIMENTARY.
Tomorrow the sale of seats for Stock
BRIDGES complimentary concert will begin
at the store. The great Kellar will appear.
Mr.. Kellar is an accomplished scientist and
| has made his feats of mechanism, calcula
| tion and Illusion the wonder of the higf
schools of the country, as well as the gen
eral public. His entertainment is one o.
rare interest and his company is comprised
of wonderful adopts in advanced magic.
PINAFoRE.
''Sing hey; the merry maiden andthe tar"
and you can make your maiden very merry
by taking her to "Pinafore." Sir Joseph
feels little uneasy just at present owing te
the fact that he must part with his moustache
but with true loyalty to the cause he is ready
for the sacrifice. If the advance sale was
any indication big houses will be the rule
next week. A grand rehearsal was held
last night and there will be another full
rehearsal tonight. Tickets at Chambers
80 cents; every seat seat reserved.
