1t will certainly prove most welcome
bit of news to the patrons of the New
market theater to learn that those ire
sistible fun producers, Evans and Hoey,

HOey so famous throughout the cOun-
try. 1t is little late in the day to write
up "a Parlor Match" after making the
rounds of so many seasons. but ii will
not be too late for "a ParlOr Match" to
fill the Newmarket theater during this
engagement, for Me and Old HOSs are
the most popular comedians visiting
this city. During the past summer
Messrs. Evans aud Hoey spent their va
cation in originating new business, new
dances, songs and situations, so that
the musical and special features of this
peculiar play are practically new

comedies that never grow old, because
there is always room for the Introduction
of something new and pleasing, and it
is funny because it is made up of funny
things and said by funny people, and
Messrs. Evans and Hoey shine brighter
than ever. 1t would be impossible to
write up the 'Parlor Match" as it has
been seen here so often that, no matter
how bright the paragrapher may be, he
would fail to mention the tn ouSand and
one bits of Incident that occur during
this delightful comedy performance.
Among tue new features this season is
the long skirt dance by the sisters
French, which has been great hit
everywhere. Four pretty and hand
Somely costnmed young girls will be
seen in La Bal Masque, which is one
of the prettieSt things Oh the stage. The
Parlor Match medley, Introducing all
the latest comic and operate selections,
also the ShilIalah chorus, is one of the
taking features and has proved the hit of
the season. Miss Minnie French still
plays "Innocent Kidd" and is just as
sparkling as bottle of champagne.

most human eyes, show their intelli-
gence, and these seals of Capt. Boyn
toms scramble about as nimbly and
obey the commands OF their trainer as
quickly as creeping children. Seals
are naturally exceedingly sympathetic
creatures. and it is through their SYM

his power over them. 1t was tedious
task, requiring years of careful training
