man. Two gold studs adorned the bosom
OF the shirt, and "A pair of gold cuff but

promptitude on the part OF the lawyers

numerous lengthy speeches. There are
four cases now pending, three of which

. SCENE OF BEAUTY.
OpeningOf The KIrmess in
Providence Last Night.
VERY PRETTY DECORATIONS
Tonight Will be Pawtucket Night"
at the Charity Affair.

The opening Of the Kirmess at the Prov
idence Opera House last evening was
most suspicious and striking success In
every respect. There was large atten-
dance, the character OF which was worthy
OF note, as indicative OF social event OF
considerable magnitude.
The whole Interior was especially and
tastefuily prepared for the occasion. The
entire stage surface, with its temporary
extension into the parquet, was trans
formed into an artistic gathering OF pic
turesque booths and gardens. From the
rising OF the curtain to the last hutter of
the gypsies tambourines the stage was the
scene OF kaleidoscope change OF color
and movement delightful TO the audience.
The execution of the dances was most
creditable and reflected great credit upon
the skill OF the efficient directress, Miss
Eager.
This Is "Pawtucket Night" ana many
from this city will be present.
