A Fine Performance of the Tragedy
Last Evening.

The Hanford, Spencer, O'Brien COM
binstion came 10 this city without any
especial herslding yesterday, and last
evening they began a short season in the
Providence Opera House in "Juiius
Ceaser." Without any fuss or declara-
tion of being the best on earth this COM
pany ~ players presented the noble trsg-
edy in fine form. Ii was an even, we'll
balanced and surprisingly good perform
ance. The players labored uncer one
disadvantage, at least. During recent
years the tragedy has been seen in this
city with the worlds foremost players
in the cast. America has never produced
better Brutus- than Il l.. Davenport.
Edwin Booth was very near 10 him in
noble strength in this part, and Law
renee Barrett made Cassigs bis special
study.
With the exceptions OF the presentations
by these distinguished players the per-
formance of Julius Caesar last even
ing was the best that has been seen in
sthis city for more I han thirty years
In at least one respect last evenings
presentation was superior to anything
seen here for more than a score of years.
Charles Is. Haniord's impersonation OF
Marc Antony was excellent in many re-
spects. Ii was intensely earnest and con-
vincing throughout, ana his Grafton
over the body or Caesar wss inspiring in
its impetuosity, sincerity, and earnest
10 the thester. Mr.. Hanford played
the same part with the Booth arrett
combination, but closer study and great
er responsi bility has developed this actor
since his last visit and Antony was in
terpreted far more strongly than before.
Mr.. Spencer made a good Cassius, and
in the quarrel scene seemed to be domi-
mated with the spirit OF the character.
Mr.. Garden made a surprisingly strong
Brutus, aud in several scenes was pecu-
liarly satisfying Mr. Macon ber. too,
made Cssca stand forth prominently.
Mr.. Temple was likewise competent as
Julius Caesar.
Miss O'Brien made charming Portia,
but the part makes no great demand upon
the actress.
The play was finely put upon the stage,
with much attention TO scenery and gen.
eral details. II "Othello' is "a we'll
played this evening it will be worth see
ing. The engagement will close tomorrow
with performance OF "Romeo and
Juliet" in the afternoon and damon
and Pythiasp in the evening.

Was finally located in Chippewa Falls.
Wausau and Marinette were greatly
disappointed The Wausau Record
closes a long article as follows:
In conclusion we would like to say
that the action of the board was, in our
opinion, unjust and i'll advised. Three
public institutions have been located in
the tenth congressional district by the
present administration. West Superior
has been given normal school, Bayfield,
fish hatchery and Chippewa Falls the
home for feeble minded. River Falls
in the same district, already had Il
normal school, which makes four insti-
tutions IN the tenth. Every other
district in the state has been favored in
the past in like manner except the
ninth, which does not contain even one
state institution, and vet the ninth
district contains Il population of POS, 1873,
and its lines encompass nearly third
of the states area.
The present administration started
wrong and we expect it will continue
wrong. When you mediate and review
what has been done only few actions
on the part Of the administration are
commendabIe and will be endorsed by
the people. Why should we expect tie
remaining part Of the term to be more
fruitful? There is only one remedy.
change the head or source of supply
which corrupts the whole. The state
legislature would do Il kind service if ii
proceeded to act as the city of Superior
did when they got rid of the offensive
part of their administration. Brother

of the people in this fight and should
have been selected Us the most suitable
place for the location of the Home fol

coming. The people of the Wisconsin

Perhaps had Marathon county favored

secured for Wausau.
