The regular fall season at the Bijou
opened in blaze of glory and even the
most sanguine expectations of the man,
agement we're exceeded in the magnii
cent attendance which favored the oc a.
sion. The matinee performances were
especially we'll attended indicating
thoroughly the fact that the Bijou is the
ladies and children's most popular
amusement resort. In spite Of the very
large attendance and notwithstanding
the stellar qualities Of the attraction, the
regular prices of admission were not
changed. The past week witnessed the
production of "The Derby Winner" a new
play with sensational features pertaining
to horse racing. The piece met with a
splendid reception and large and appre-
ciative audiences were the rule for the
entire engagements. For the coming
week and commencing next Sunday
matinee, September %, Manager Hays
announces the production Of "The Police
Inspector" new melo dramatic hit de-
signed to illustrate life in the great
metropolis. The play is described as be
ing sensational in the extreme. The plot
deals with crime in New York City and
the m sthods taken to detect and arrest
law offenders in that city. The career OF
Inspector Byrnes, the most famous
American policeman is the foundation
for the heroic character of the play.
The resolution presented to J NJ. Bart
lett at a recent meeting was made the
order of the day at the meeting of the
board of trade Monday morning. The
resolution refers to the special assess
ments made for the improvement OF sew
eral of the public parks, and alleges that
the money was diverted aud ussl for
other purposes, and also that property
had been given by private individuals
with the understanding that there should
bs no special assignment after the gift
had been made and that the Park board
had afterwards levied special assessments
The resolution also asks that the matter
be Investigated by the courts and remun
Grafton made In such cases. +. n. 3 'acy
was OF opinion thht the matter should not
b. aired nov, as many OF the people
would take advantage of it who would
not think of doing !, were the timss bet.
ter. J. M. Bartlett argued that chat
was just what the res )lutiou W ss meant
for. At present only a few cases were
knowa where people had been wrongfnl-
" assessed, and this would bring them
all to the front. The resolution passed
! by unanimous vote.
Somewhat earlier than heretofore julia
! Marlowe's annual engagement at the
Grand Opera House is announced to
open next week Monday. This even
| will mark the opening, too, of Manager
Scott'e season ia the 'legitimate," as it
| is called. Iodsed, SO far as fem lie stars
are concerned, the end OF Julia Marlowes
engagement will also mark the close OF
! the season in that respect. Never since
the retirement Of Mary Aadsrs ~ has
there been such a dearth OF artists de-

standard young heroines. Margaret

aud M me. Rhea never was devoted to it.
