 At Boston-The champions and the Clevelands had an old time fight here to-day with plenty of errors, numer- ous brilliant plays and terrific batting. The Clevelands apparently had the game in hands in the earlier innings, but they punched their errors at the same time the Bostons made their hits and were at q standstill at the finish. The batting of Lowe, Duffy, Stivetts. Childs, McGarr and Zimmer, and the wonderful fielding of McAleer. Duffy. Mccarthy, Nash and McGarr were the features.

ENTERTAINMENT.
Grand Opera House.


 Grand Opera house, newly finished in
 white and gold and otherwise improved, opened last night with Callahan's Coon
 Hollow" The house was packed, the
 entertainment remarkably good and the audience appreciative. The scene ry was fine, and the players five of
 them ex-stars) worked up the cllmaxes
 excellently. The scene is laid in Ten nessee. Georgia, the heroine. in love with Ralph Markham and living with
 her aunt, Jean Bechymer, is wooed by
 Fuller, who threatens the foreclosure
 of his mortgage on Jeans farm unless
 his suit is successful.
 Jean Bechymer's wit suggests to
 Philip Maury, Ralph's uncle, that
 Georgia, whomhe has befriended and
 helped, is his own lost daughter. The
 act closes with an attempted burgla- ry, with the prime incentive of mur-
 der. foiled by Georgia.
 Lem Starkwell, in love with Clyde Harrod, who has been discarded by
 Ralph, and VOWS revenge on him and Georgia, is induced by Clyde to blow up the. dam at Coon Hollow, with the intention of killing Ralph and Georgia, but is foiled by Georgia's caution. The
 bursting of the dam, an effective tab- leau, closes the act. Clyde, by producing fictitious mar riage certificate, poisons Georgias s
 mind against Ralph and she leaves home, falling into Fullers hands, but
 defles him and refuses his hand. Lem
 and Clyde attempt Ralph's life by placing him in the cotton gin in senseless condition, but Georgia sub stitutes Fuller's body. This thrilling tableau closes the act.
 Clyde's reason leaves her from re- morse at this crime. She dies, Stock we'll assuming the guilt.
 The steamboat race between the Rob- ert D. Lee and the Natchez is cleverly staged. The play closes with an un- derstandng between Georgia and Ralph.
 Very good comedy Is furnished by
 George F. Hull and Louise Arnott as
 Diogenes Sharp and Jean Bechymer.
 Thirty colored people furnish good
 singing, and the inevitable sand dance, with the assistance of the con- ventional cornucopia of sand. The best acting seems to be that of George Hull, Louise Arnott and Floy Crowell all ex!stars.
 The management is to be congratu- lated on the remarkable success of their first night, and wish to announce that as usual the strictest decorum will be observed in the lobby. no smo- king tolerated, and that ladies may at tend with safety and comfort. The play will be repeated this and tomor- row evenings and tomorrow afternoon, opening at 2 o'clock.

Social Event in Litchfield.

Yesterdays Litchfield Enquirer says: ''To Mrs. A. Heaton Robertson, Mrs. Frank Drisler and Mrs. Charles D. Bur Till large number of Litchfeld people and summer visitors are indebted for one of the most delightful social events of the season, which occurred at the Club house on Tuesday afternoon in the guise of Country Dance.' Aside from the good time everybody had, the affair was notable for the large number of married people present, several of the matrons seeming to enjoy the danc- ing as heartily as the girls. The hall was very tastefully decked with golden rod and other wild flowers, with here and there wooden hay rake to give rural effect. Although the invitations read from four to six, it was considerably after the latter hour when the merry making was brought to a finish with one of the jolliest Virginia reels ever danced. The music was furnished by Cummings of Torrington."

CLEVELAND MAY NOT SIGN.
The TarIn Bill Will Become Law With
 out His Signature.

out His Signature.
 Washington, Aug. 23.-When it was known that Speaker Crisp had seen MT. Cleveland to-day there was a rush of members to the speakers room in order to learn the presidents intention as to the tariff. All the speaker would probably allow the bill to become law without his signature. He said the president had not told him what he would do, but from his general conver- sation regarding the bill the speaker made the following deduction. The pres ident, it is said, has not hesitated to express to some of his callers, his objec- tions to the bill. These objections are as strong to-day as they were when his fa- nous letter to Chairman Wilson was read in the house more than a month ago.
 None of those who saw the president asked whether he would veto the bill.
 The constitutional limit of ten days in which the" bill may become operative without the presidents signature will be reached at midnight on Monday next.
 Some of the democratic leaders who saw the president this morning have urged him strongly to sign the bill. They have represented that any other course would discredit the measure and the party, and that 1t would be a serious handicap to them when on the stump during the October campaign. The president is reported to have heard these gentlemen patiently and to have shown by his response that he was not insensible to their argument. On some cases they returned to the capitol feel ing that after all there was a possibility that the presidential signature would be affixed to the measure but" as one of the number expressed it. "there is only a possibility"
