Richard Mansneld.

The following clipping from the Portland
Oregonian of the 9Th inst. is of interest to
our " amusement lovers:
Mr.. Richard Mansfield made his second
appearance in this city at the Marouam
Grand last evening, in the presence OF a
very large and fashionable audience, and
az Beau Brummel he scored as strong a
success as it possible for any actor to do.
The story OF the play ia very daintily told,
while the language is bright, sparkling and
quite in keeping with the times it is sup-
posed to represent. MIR. Mansteld's Beau
Brummell is a perfect revelation, and his
i~mpersonatlon proves him to be a genius of
the highest order. It ia finished to a super
iatlve degree. Every movement, every
pose. every step, every information Of the
voice and every gestioulation all show the
most careful thought and the conscientious
studyo OF the student and the artist. 1t is
simply impossible. to depict a more
perfect or complete characterization,
as it il fawless and leaves nothing to be
desired. He is certainly the magnificent
beau That we are wont to read about, and
he appears here in all the zenith OF his
glory. worshlped by the beauties of the day,
rendered insolent and oonocited by the
adulatiou bestowed upon him, and he il
represented with such accuracy Of dress.
such grace of manner, such dignity Of bear
ing, that for the nonce the audience is al
most led to believe that they are gazing
upon the actual Beau Brummell OF fiction.
and not upon an artistic counterfeit.
While his acting all through is beyond
really scores his greatest triumph. his aot-
ing being strong. natural and almost pa
thetic. He costumes the character su-
perbly.

The 6 Meetings Of the Montana Circuit,

Inv MuuliulSp VI t!u WuuluHu VII Uull,
AS shown above, present to the
horsemen of the country 43 actual
days of racing, and provide one
hundred thousand dollarsin purses
and added money to stakes.
The programme includes run
ming, trotting and pacing.
The tracks are all full mile,
regulation, and no expense has
been spared to make them both
safe and fast. " .......
The stables are large and
commodious. .." :
The grounds are located within
easy distance of the various cities
and are connected with them by
steam railroads or electric motors.
The betting privileges will be
in the hands Of capable men, we'll
known to all horsemen. Last
year, with five meetings, about
100000 passed through the
pools, aside from the books; and
with the increased interest and
high class of contests expected,
it is certainly safe to predict larger
sales this year.
Our circuit is the center of rae
ing for the Pacific coast and
Rocky Mountains. Horsemen
coming from the south can at
tend the May.June running meet
ing at Denver, where $4,000
are offered in purses, and the
mixed meeting commencing June
II, on the new mile track at Salt
Lake City, where purses aggre-
gate $4,000; or coming from
the northwest can follow the
Spring meetings at Portland,
Walla Walla, Spokane Falls, and
other points in Washington and
Oregon, finishing the Montana
circuit in ample time for the Fall
races in other sections.
Nothing will be left undone by
the officers of the different asso-
Citations to insure the comfort and
convenience of owners and train
ers who attend and enter horses
on the circuit.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Arrangements have been made whereby
Mr.. Charles Whitney, of the Olympia
hotel, has assumed the responsibility of
getting up the inaugural ball and supper.
The general committee appointed for that
purpose at citizens meeting held in Mayor
O'Bren's office one night last week, will
now have nothing to do but help the
finance committee and lend a hand when
ever practicable. Mr.. Whitney has offered
to provide all the features of the occasion,
including ball room, orchestra, invitations,
and the accompanying supper. For this
aggregation of good things IS a couple will
be charged. The citizens committee now
ind 1t necessary to provide money with
which to pay for tickets for the member
OF the legislature, state officers and the
representatives of the press. 1t is con-
sldered eminently proper for the people of
Olympia to entertain the visiting law
makers in this way upon this occasion.
70 accomplish this result it will be neces-
sary to raise about 5000 in hard cash. 1t
IS quite likely the canvassing committee
will be out after the money before many
more days.

A meeting of the executive officers of the
Westside Electric Railroad company was
held this morning for the purpose of con.
ferring with W. J. Grambs about the con-
struction ofsthe projected line. Mr.. Grambs
represents the Northwest Electric COM
pany, which was formed by the consolida-
ton OF the Thomson Houston and the
Edison companies. His arrival was noted
in The TRIBUNE of yesterday. Mr.. Gambs
assrets substantially that the company will
not undertake the construction of the
road until the subsidy has been increased to
at least $50 acres. Those who have been
working on the subsidy have been able to
secure about $50 acres, list of which was
published in The TRIBUNE together with
the names of the men who granted the
and. 1t is well understood that as soon
as the required amount of land has been
secured details can bespeedily arranged for
the construction of the line. As has been
previously stated in The TRIBUNE, the
road will be four miles long extending from
the corner of Fourth and Main streets to
Buffers cove. II will be standard guage.
and the line will be equipped with six
motor cars, four closed and two open.
Officers of the company say they will get
