Burgess, NIodesty.

To show how the late Mr.. Burgess
mind leaned to yachts and yachting, a
slight glance over his yachting career will
demonstrate. In the building season.
which took in the winter, no weather
was too stormy or cold enough to keep
him from making his weekly visit to
Lawley and Pierce's shops An hour at
the Point would not satisfy him, and the
dark of evening often found him wend-
ing his way to his home in aristocratic
Back Bay. Said | to George Lawley. the
boat-builder, the other day: What is
your first remembrance of Mr.. Burgess?U
Young George replied: He came into
my shop soon after we came to the Point
and looked over large cabin cat-boat
which we were building, and putting his
hand on her, said: ''She will make very
good boat" We chatted for a while.
"Call again. said 1, and in few days
the stranger called again. We had good
talk for nearly the whole afternoon on
that day, and do you know he was the
same modest man when he came to talk
over the plans of the Puritan and Nav
flower that he was in those days when
we sat on tool chest discussing that cat
boat. From Edward Burgess and His
Work." by A. G. McVey in New Eng

PARIS, Sept. 15.-The performance of
''Lohengrin" commenced at o'clock
this evening. The precincts of the opera
house were crowded, but up to that time
only slight attempt had been made to
create disorder, which the police easily
suppressed. The police had strict orders
to take energetic action if necessary. The
'claque" seats were occupied by detect
ives. All approaches to the corridors
were occupied by police, and the in
spector stood by each check taken to
scrutinize the incomers. Mounted re-
publican guards kept the streets clear.
The house was crowded, there being no
special difficulty in obtaining admission.
The overture was listened to in profound
silence, the audience breaking into rap
turous applause at its conclusion The
opera was admirably mounted and finely
rendered. Van Dyke and other artists
were recalled several times and applauded
to the echo.
There was noisy demonstration out
side the opera-house during the perform
ance. On the outside bank students sang
the 'Marseillaise," the crowd responding
with cries of ''Vive la France, IA bas
Wagner" Portions of the mob contin-
ually made rushes against the police cor
don, and the police, whenever these in
curslons became formidable, assumed the
offensive and charged the mob, which
would take to flight in hot haste. Then
the singing and shouting would soon be
renewed, and the rushes and charges re-
peated. In some cases the zeal of the
police seemed TO outrun their discretion
| and respectable onlool1ers were roughly
handled, arrested on the slightest provo
| cation and then cuffed if they ventured to
make the mildest protest. Fully $50 per-
| sons had been arrested by 10 O'Clock.
/ Then force of cavalry and mounted
police forcibly patrolled the scene of the
disturbance and cleared the streets.
Altogether about LOCO persons were
| arrested during the night, but ali will
probably be liberated before morning The
German Embassy was strongly guarded
throughout the night. A party Of 200
roughs smashed the windows of the Ger
man Cafe.
A curious incident occurred in the
course of the evening. One Of the men
arrested, on being taken to the police
station, announced himself as Russian.
He was forthwith liberated with a bow
and polite ''PasseZ, monsieur
