Only a fair audience attended the initial per-
Torrance Of "a Dark Secret" at the Theatre
last night. The way Ia which the play was put
on cannot be comm ended and compares very
unfayorably with the fine production which was
given il last season. This, II should be re-
marked is an excellent melOdrama, but Ike
oil Of Its kind depends Tor success chiefly upon
the merit OF the people VINO play Il and the way
In which II Is staged, and a. the company If
only mediocre and the stage effects not as
effective as they might be, the result Is dlsap-
pointing. The AlDions, heavyweight acrobals,
who added so much to the effect OF last season =
production. wore rather careless Cor clumsy
last night and made a failure OF several Of their
tcais.

The Tower on the Corner Of the Building
Dispensed With.

The Building Committee Of the Chamber
of Commerce met yesterday morning. and
upon the advice of Captain Dimmock, the
architect, decided TO dispense with the
tower projection at the corner of the
structure. Therefore. so much OF IL as has
been erected will be taken down. This
tower was designed to give prominence to
the chamber as public building, but the
proportions of the structure are 50 large aud
prominent above all of the surroundings
that no accentuation in the form of pro-
lection above the roof line is necessary.
The general design aud proportions of
the building are admirable. and seen even
in its unfinished condition 1t is very i'm
pressive and diguified. The work IL pro-
crossing rapidly. and the prospects are
that the contractor will have finished the
building before the time stipulated In his
