THE WESTERN PROMENADE.
Extensive improvements for 1t are
Planned by the Park Commissioners.

The Park Commissioners are just clos
ing up this seasons work and making
plans for next year. The laying out of
Fort Allen Park has been the principal
work of this year, and, although not
quite complete, it is one of the noblest
additions made to the system for long
time. When the old earthworks are
restored and 5he cannon are mounted,
which will be done next year, the inter
esting features of the work will be much
enhanced.
The Commissioners, as DR.. Smith said
yesterday, will devote the greater por-
tion of their resources next year to the
Western Promenade. The southern end
has already been graded and laid out;
but by far the larger portion, extending
from the band stand to the Maine Cen
eral Hospital, lis yet in its natural state.
This is the portion of the Promenade
most visited, and the portion where or
nament and decoration can be employed
best There are several acres of ground
to be graded and laid out into walks;
and when it is done it will be a great
addition to the beauties of the city.
The demand for the work has been urgent
for some time ;sbutit is only now that
the Commissioners find themselves with
the ability to carry it forward.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Clara Morris.

One of the dramatic and society events
of the season promises to be thu appear
ance at the City. Hall tomorrow evening
of Clara Morris, Americas great artistic.
The play in which she appears is by
that greatest of living playwrights, Sar-
dou, author of Diplomacy" Fedora, "
Cleopatra, "La Tosca," and last, and
in some respects his best, "Odette. Miss
Morris is supported by her own company,
who travel in sher own special car with
her, and includes: John Glendenning,
&c. Harriott, wv G. Kelley, j. K. Hutch
inson, Alfred Hampton, T. G. Elliott,
william Spencer, Joseph Rabaud, Miss
Harriet Ford, Miss Jeanette Lowerre,
Mrs. Grace Gayler, Clara Baker Rush
and Miss Katherine Mars. There has
been a good sale of seats but City Hall
should be crowded on this occasion. I'm
less the patronage afforded these great
stars is such as makes their visit remun-
erative it is useless to expect they will
undergo the fatigue and expense of the
journey. Get your seats at Stock bridges
today.
The Ryan Concert.
Mr.. William J. Ryan's annual concert
given at City Hall last evening, was
very attractive entertainment. The
Apollo Qnartette of Boston have excel
lent voices, and they harmonic exceed
ingly well. Messrs. Coffin and Maynard
the two blind musicians, ARE capital
performers on many instruments, and
their various limitations were warmly re-
ceived. The applause was constant, and
encores steadily demanded. 1t was a
pity that all the purchasers of tickets
were not present, for then there would
have been a large audience and the echo
avoided.
Annie Ward Tiffany.
Of Lady Barney which will be seen
at the Portland Theatre tomorrow and
Saturday, with Saturday matinee, the
New York World recently said:
annie Ward Tiffany, a well known
Brooklyn favorite, appeared before a
large and fashionable audience last even
ing at the Bedford Avenue Theatre in a
new play entitled Lady Barney 1t is
from the pen of Alfred Kennedy, ssand it
was the first production. in this city.
The play is well written, and the author
has chosen plot, while not new in its
entirety, is novel and interesting. 1t was
written for Miss Tiffany, and the author
has succeeded in giving the star play
which affords her numerous opportunl-
ties to display her versatility as a charac-
ter actress. 1t is the best thing Miss
Tiffany has done in late years, as was
evidenced by the numerous curtain
calls she received. The cli1naxes of all
the acts are dramatic, and the dialogue
is bright and. catchy. The scene between
Lady .Blarney Miss Tiffany and Col
onel Mart Creighton, Charles FL Crosby
in 1.-THE grounds of Clifford Farm was
full of wit and elicitedaawell merited APP
plause. .-
