teams tore along towards Portland at q
rafting pace. Suddenly there was
blockade, caused by the smashing of the
carriage driven by Harry Roberts of
Westbrook. The horse did not get away,
and no one was hurt.

The Canned Goods Market.

The crop of tomatoes canned for future
use promises to be very small, and the
price is now advanced about five per cent,
which indicates quite high figures next
summer The Gamers of Maryland and
Delaware are about through; prices have
ruled low and there will be an advance.
Apples will rule higher in price than
last year, for the stock on hand was never
so small, and the present crop the poorest
known for years, both East and West.
Packers of the best quality of Lima
beans and succotash cannot fill their
ORDERS Although the corn packing sea-
son is-not over yet the major part Of it is
secured. The quality will be, according
to all reports received so far, unusually
good, and there will be good demand
for it at full prices. No old stock of
consequence is left over and the Western
States are, it is believd, below the aver
age The indications are that Maine will
have about three-quarters of an average
crop.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Senator.

The Senator" reminds one of" Henriet-
ia" in its tone,i rs action and it's atmos-
phere, and it has something, too, that
makes one think of "a Gold Nine" but
1T is not in any sense an imitation OF
either play. 1t is a clever, bright and
interesting comedy, which can stand
upon its own merits without borrowing
support from "reminiscences. 1t is of
much significance that "The SENATOR is
never dull, that the lines are clear and
clever, that the characters are not taken
out of old dramatic libraries, but out
of life in America today, and that no
two or three or four people are left to-
gether on the stage without having some
thing to do or say that the audience
wants to see or hear, and that the some
thing helps to develop the plot, explain
the characters, or prepare for newacom-
plication. Louis Aldrich will be seen in
the play at Portland Theatre tonight
A Trip to Chinatown.
One of the greatest successes in the
annals of farce co medy occurred in New
York when Hoyt's "a Trip to China
town" kept the boards for more than 700
consecutive nights A Trip to China
town will be presented at Portland Thea
tire next Monday and Tuesday evenings,
and if remarkably heavy advance sale
of seats is any criterion it will receive a
hearty welcome at the hands OF the thea
tire goers. The history of its phenomenal
success in New York is familiar to every
student of the newspapers When Hoyt
and Thomas first came into possession of
the Madison Square Theatre A Trip to
Chinatown was put on, as the theatre
cal phrase goes, simply to fill time until
Mr.. Hoyt could get new play ready,
but to the surprise of everybody, the au-
dience continued to grow larger and
larger from night to night and week to
week. Mr.. Hoyt kept close watch on
ness here and new and witty dialogue
there, introduced taking and novel spec
ialities, until now A Trip to Chinatown
is like an entirely new piece. The scenic
effects in Chinatown are said to be beau
tiful. Mr.. Hoyt has expended more
money in this direction than ever before
in any of his creations Mr.. Hoyt's plays
are always assured of large audience
in this city, and his " A Trip to China
town." coming as it does from it's big
New York run, will be no exception to
the rule.
