uSPIDER AND Fl.Y.O

One of the big novelties of the season is M. B. Leavitt's gorgeous spectacular ex- travaganza, ''Spider and Fy," which is due at O. Brien 8 Saturday at matinee and night. The text has been entirely re- written this year and every one of the three score features are new and up to date. 1t is said to be great show, and one that will surely meet the demands of the great American public, as it em braces everything that is popular nowadays with theater
 goers. Comedy, burlesque, pantomime and speciality will be tue order of things.
 with magnificent scenic effects, costumes, properties and mechanical and electric effects thrown in, besides series of Living
 Pictures, similar to those made famous by the great Kilanyi. The company will com .
 prise fifty odd people, among whom are Florence Chase, Annie Suits, Blanch siegrist, Georgie Putnam, Hattie Starr, Georgie Lawrence, Boyd Hammond, Mabel Rivers, Minnie Brown, Steve Corey, Kelly and Ashby, James A.

"TBE COUNTY FAIR. .n

ssThe County Fair'' may have something of the flavor of a twice-told tale to the amusement going public, but it's quaint and curious characters are In sympathetic touch with nature, stand wear like home spun; and with the advantage of pictur. esque and novel scenic environment 1t bids fair to retain it's popularity. "Tbe County Fair" is billed for tonight at O'Brien's.
 Of course the chief feature of sensational interest is the horse race. The low rumble of sound announces that the mechanism is at work, the darkness of the stage gives way to blaze of light. The audience be- holds the inspiring sight of five horses, apparently galloping breakneck down a fast track. The jockeys are urging them forward like demons, the orchestra plays a noisy galop, and finally, as they are punched, comes to the fore Cold Molasses, with Tim, the tanner, in blue and white polka dots, astride her. A sudden burst of speed and the colt wins, amidst great en- thusiasm, cheers and waving of handker- chiefs.
 1.-The County Fair'' is full of in teresting things. Besides Abigail Prue, the prim, peevlsh old maid, and O,is Tucker and Tim, the trainer, and Taggs, the tough, and Silas Hammerhead and Cold Molasses and a Jersey calf and the horse race, 1t has the first wagon, ever built in Cape God. About 100 years ago an old fisherman down there employed his inventive genius in the construction of what was then considered something marvellous in the four wheeled vehicle line. As compared with the turn outs of modern make lJ is a quaint, queer looking arrangement. Excluding the shafts, it is not more than 8 feet long and sits as low in body as 8 phaetOn, and IS all wood except the wheel tires and bu b bands. The box, t sway backed looking concern, rests on springs made of hickory, and the axle trees are of black oak. The wagon was discovered on New England farm by R. w. Glider, editor of the Century, and by him presented to Charles Jefferson, who added tito the "props'' of "The County Fair" It appears in the last act drawn by Cold Molasses, and carrying Abigail and her family to the fair.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"The Country Squire' paid his respects to large audiences at O'Brien's yesterday afternoon and last night, and was greeted with ovations on both occasions.
 Archie Boyd, who has won warm place in the hearts of patrons of O'Brien's as dear old Josh Whitcomb in tThe Old Homestead, '' is always welcomed vis- itor, aud his greetings yesterday and last night clearly attested the fac. that long ab ence does not drive him from their memories.
 As the Country Squire MT. Boyd is as much at home as in the character of Josh Whitcomb, and his happy conception of the simple, easy going farmer Is as true to life as if he were born tdown on the farm.o No stronger attestation of his power of 'patursl acting could be shown than the tear dimmed eyes at yesterdays matinee, when in the third act he recalls to his city bred brother the fact that they were boys together, and, though he was farmer and his brother college bred, he loved him "jest the same,o and begged forgiveness if by any act of his he had in. jured him. The curtain goes down on one of the most pathetic scenes ever witnessed in drama, and the curtain call was hon. estly won.
 MT. Boyd has strong play in "The Country Squire,o and his corps of artists are well balanced, and with their assist ance he gives one of the most pleasing per- formances ever offered to public.
 The play is surely destined to have as long life as "The Old Homestead,' - and MT. Boyd will long continue to win hearts and additional fame as the Country Squire.
 The scenery is exceptionally good and, in fact, perfect in every detail.
 A word for the soubrette, Miss Harper, and Misses Johnand Ridgeway is not out Of place. They are admirably suited to the characters for which they are cast and de- serve mention.
 The quartette is of high order and was we'll received.
