IN THE STATE AND THE WIDE FIELD.

Only Massachusetts, Virginia, Ohio, Wisconsin and Iowa will elect governors this fall. Only three Legislatures to be chosen, in Virginia, Kentucky and Iowa will elect United States senators. The political pot will enjoy a much needed repose.
 The local managers of the recent Christian endeavor convention in Mon- treal are heavily in debt for the ex- penses of the convention. These man. agers planned for 25,OO0 to 3O.OOO dele gates, made contracts with caterers and boarding house keepers, bought chairs and other furniture, and went in on a large scale generally. Only some 16. 900 delegates came, and the consequence is this deficit of indefinite size which the good people of Montreal are asked to make up.

MT Bur ton enters in search of his ulster, and thinks Geof has 1t on. Sadie comes on in a new ulster of similar pattern. Mrs Flipper enters, and as Burton is mis- taken for Barton, no end of fun follows. As the piece proceeds Flipper becomes every moment more hopelessly involved in perplexities. The two families are all brought together, and the clue to the en- tanglements are given by the lawyer reading the marriage settlements of the young lovers. For moment, poor Flip. per is almost reduced to idiocy, but sspull- ing himself together he gets out of the labyrinth very neatly, and the piece has
