MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The DaZzler.

The engagement of Cosgroves and
Grants comedians in the Dazzler at Port
land Theatre this evening bids fair to be
memorable one Every musical num-
Der is new, and the Dazzler senjoys the
distinction of being the only farce-come-
dy company on the road that is using
many of the songs. Lottie Burke, who
is playing Kittie Starlight this season, is
a soubrette of marked ability and an IN
firing worker, being closely seconded by
Ida Marie Rodgers, a very pretty young
lady, who has been singing with marked
success in light opera for the past three
years. Raymond Finleygand George Les
lie are infusing new life into the parts of
Pipes and Smashem Jones, and their
grotesque dancing is among the strongest
features of the performance. Bobby Raj
ston, the star comedian of last season s
Dazzler is still with the company, and
has divided his time during the summer
between fishing and getting up new and
comieal specialties and has had great
success in both occupations, while Max
Miller. the original Tanhauser Book of
the Dazzler, again appears in his mimi
table and clean Characterization of the re-
tired brewer. In fact, the Dazzler this
season bids fair to be tho brightest farce
comedy that is on the road

his many talents shine even brighter
than in his former success. His support

strong one, and includes Miss Louise

goers of Portland and acknowledged by
everybody to be one of the bright lights
in farce comedy. She will wear five gor-

McCaIlum's Theatre
Never in the history of the theatre at
Peaks island has a play made such an
immense hit as "Lost Paradise has
made this week. Last night there was a
large audience to see it, and they fairly
went into estacies over both the play and
company. The house rang with the loud
applause and hearty laughter through the
entire piece. A curtain call is something
quite common at this place, but last
night the audienceScheered SO loudly that
no less than four calls were demanded
after the second act, and even then the
applause had not ceased. You can go to
Mr.. McCallum's theatre this week and
say you have seen the best play ever put
on. Secure your seats at once, as there is
a big advance sale at Stockbridges music
store.

cinity Held at Vaughan Street Church.

The annual convention of the Epworth
League of Portland and vicinity was held
at Vaughan streeEchurch last evening

next introduced. He congratulated his
hearers upon belonging to the Methodist
division of the Grand Christian army
This is an age Of rapid advancement, and
the Methodist church have seen the ad
vantage of bringing thevyoung people
into the thick of the fight. The Ep-
worth League in the Methodist case was
a needed organization. The adversary has
long seen the wisdom of training the
youth for his work. The church must
see that it also brings in the young.
Mr. Clifford then went on to speak of
some of the dangers which menaced the
league.
Rev. Mr.. Wood of South Portland, spoke
on the power of sacrifice, dwelling enter
tainingly on the various portions of his
subject. In this country the power of
sacrifice had built 14s, 521 houses of wor-
ship at cost of s679, $50, 139. The seats in
the churches of America would afford
nearly four rows of seats reaching from
Calais, Me-, to San Francisto. There
were 400 institutions of learning in Me-
thodism alone.

The score was to S-Only spill ana
Terrien Made Hits-A Very Tiresome
Game-Umpire Murphy Improved a
Little But Not Much.
There was very little excitement about
yesterdays game. We were not in it at
all. We couldn't bat Kelsey and we did
have bad luck Also OF course wesbegan
well. as usual, but that's all we did do.
Leighton waited for four Slater struck
out, for the first, or at least, the second
time this season. Spill hit the ball like
thousand of bricks and Leighton scored
on the clean two Dagger. Goodhart and
Killeen were outs.
In our next inning we should have
had more runs Magoon flied out. Dove
waited for four, Terrien hit safely and
he and Dove took second and third on
Lang's muff of the throw-in. Corbett
sent hot one to shortstop. There WASH t
a ghost of show for Dove to get home
He was caught 10 feet from the plate
Some Judgment should be exercised in
this running home ON ground hit. Had
Dove held third, the bases would have
been filled and Leighton or Slater, or
both, might have batted in several runs
But Dove was nabbed, and when Corbett
tried for second he gave it up and Terrien
was caught off third and run down 1t
was horrible sacrifice of good chance
for scores
Our second and last run was in the
fifth. Slater got first and second on an
error by Hanivan, was sacrificed to
third and came in after Goodhart's long
fly was caught.
That was the end of our run getting.
Inning after inning went by and only
Spill and Terrien could make safe hits
Spill was the hero of the game. His
two-bagger in the first, his second two
Dagger in the third and his splendid drive
to deep left centre for three bases in the
eight were magnificent feats with the
bat stick. But only the first one did any
good. He was first to the bat in the
eighth when he made that splendid long
drive and landed on third. Then Good
hart struck out and Killeen and Magoon
flee to centre field. There was when the
bad luck came in. Terrien got three
clean singles and they did no good, except
to his batting record.
The score shows how Pawtucket
touched up Killeen for divers big hits
that resulted in scores Yet Killeen
pitched a good game. He struck out six
men and gave no man first. Yet whenever
they hit him, it went SAFE There was
good deal of luck in it.
But there was no luck in our base run
ming 1t was nothing at all like the
usual gilt edged variety that the boys
have exhibited during the whole season

Baseball Notes.

DhSCUdh 1NObCss
The Crescents defeated the Crawfords
by score of 21 to 10 yesterday.
| David Mahoney went to Boston ON the
noon train yesterday and will bring
back Sockalexis, and perhaps somebody
else if it is a possible thing. Here S
wishing him success.
Other games in the New England league
today are: Brockton at Lewiston Fall
River at Augusta; New Bedford at
Bangor.
Ashe is still at his home in Connecti-
cut. He is not released as yet Matters
are in state of allegiance in regard to
him at present
"Snap" Lang lodged the ball and
then started for first. 1t didn't come
within several inches of him. But
Murphy let him go, just because Snap
Lang has got nerve and Murphy hasn't.
1t was costly decision for us. If he
hadn't got first that time he might have
been the third man out The next three
batters got three-baggers and there were
three runs in no time.
There is a great deal that's aggravat-
ing about base ball and umpires.
Murphy ought to call the number of the
balls and strikes. 1t is decidedly inexcu-
sable and wilfully wrong to keep on
shouting "ball'' and "strike'' when
everyone wants to know what ball and
what strike.
DAILY made a magnificent ne-handed
stop of Corbett's liner and got it to first
on time, too. Magoon had similar liner
sent at him, but little further off. He
stopped it and picked it up and threw 1t
like flash, but little wild. 1t was an
exeusable error.
Murphy will umpire again today and
possibly during the rest of the week. If
the crowd would let him alone they'd get
better umpiring out Of him. That's simp-
ly a matter of policy. Besides there was a
great deal of rank injustice in the jeers
and sneers at him yesterday. He was
howled at more when he was right
than when he was wrong. Not that he
wasn't wrong too often, but as long as he
is inflicted upon us, the best thing to do
is to give him fair show. He'll make
less mistakes He means all right, or
did yesterday.
1t was stated late last evening, that
Hassett of Portland had been appointed
umpire in place of Murphy, ..and that he
will umpire today's game Mr.. Hassett
had been promised this reinstatement by
President Murnane, and Portland
directors had written to the latter
earnestly protesting against Murphy.
This is most desirable change.

THE ELKS
Had Delightful Outing at VOLTS Point.

q
The Elks embarked on the steamer
Forest Queen yesterday morning at 10 10
o'clock for their fifth annual outing
They selected this year Mr. E. B. Mallet' S
charming place, known as VOLTS Point.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired. The sail to Mr.. Mallet's resort
is some II miles from the city. On the
way down the Sunday school stories OF
last year were revived.
The Point was reached at 10 o'clock
Mr.. Mallet's genial countenance was seen
On the wharf and he gave the boys well
come. Before the banquet Mr.. Mallet in a
neat speech, extended the freedom of the
grounds. His team had been left on the
high ground, and the boys who were
down on the point carried him in a
chair, preceded by the American Cadet
Band, up the hill to his carriage, dis
tance of half mile
The menu was served by Caterer Rob-
inson, and every thing that pleases the
palate was served to the hungry multi
tude. In fact. as one of the members
said, Mr.. Robinson out-did himself He
was remembered by the party with a
handsome present The usual ball game
was indulged in. The fat men, were
captained by Robert f. Somers while the
lean meu were handled by Willie Wood
The fat men presented the we'll known
battery of Somers and Alden,
the formers Kicking being great fea-
ture. The lean men presented Messrs
Wood and McDonough, who held the
heavy weights down to six runs. Their
claim is about four times as many. The
great event of the day was the umpi ring
of DIR. O'Neil. Some of the visitors were
Messrs. Gold en-, Wood and McDonough of
Boston.
The Elks left the Point at O'Clock
and made their way to the steamer, Civ
ing three cheers and tiger for their
friend and well-wisher, Mr. Mallet.
