DON CESAR DE BAZAN,

DUN CESAR DE BAZAN.
Don Caesar de Bazan has had many inter-
prefers In this city, but none who gives more
complete satisfaction than Alexander Sal
vini He was greeted by brilliant audi
ence last evening. Don Caesar could hardly
have had handsomer personator, for the
| younger Salvini Is of noble bearing, with
bright and intelligent expression, besides
having rich and at the same time powerful
voice. Salyini has perfect control over his
voice and utilities 1t to the greatest possible
advantage. Above all is his acting natura
In his every movement, in his intonations,
and in his facial expression. In the roles
which exact Of him the accomplishment OF
the tragic artist he more than answers the
call. In the scenes In the rooms of the cas-
tile. in fact in the very Introductory scene,
does he show this distinguishing qualifca.
ton. 1t is no use to predict that Alexander
Salvlni wi / take front rank among young
artists, for he is already there. He has a
reputation Of his own. Those who have
ever been suspicious Of his success need no
longer have any fears. Unlike most compan-
les of this class II has not only simply one
star and weak support but is an aggrega-
tion of fine actors.
Tonight Salyini will appear as D. Artag-
nan in "The Three Guardsmen."
ALVIN JosLIN.
Charles L. Davis will be at Portland thea

His peculiar style Of comedy seems to be
just what the public want. and his success
has been phenomenal. The company has
net praise, and the play has been remodelled
on such a plan as to leave nothing lacking
that may contribute to its powers of amuse-
ment. Mr.. Davis carries all the special seem
cry used in the play. and his hundred thou
worn in the last act.

THE ANNEXATION CONTEST.
Town Meeting the 2oth; and Pros
pect of a Sig Vote.

The selectmen of Deering have received
two petitions in relation to the calling of the
town meeting for the decision of the annex
alton question. One asks for Monday. May
18th, and the other Wednesday. May goth.
The selectmen have decided upon the Goth
and have called the meeting for that date.
The polls will be opened at 8 o'clock in the
morning.
An exciting meeting is expected. Both
sides have been drumming up the town, and
each expects to get out full vote. Oakdale
will go up in force for annexation; and
the Woodfords people will probably be
largely in favor of annexation, although SEN
timentis divided among them. The ants,
on the other hand, will have the old guard
that has defeated annexation before and
many supporters in all parts of the town.
Each side will probably have elaborate pre-
parations for getting its men to the polls.
Upwards of thousand voters are expected
to be put into the meeting by both sides.
