CHAs. E. BLANEY's farce-comedy "a
Baggage Check" appeared in the Opera
House Friday evening. The play is up
to date and is extremely laughable. The
cast was strong and was headed by James
r. Kelly and Lizzie Melrose. The Tril-
by burlesque was something very origi-
nal and brought down the house. Among
the specialties, the dancing of the Mich
OILS sisters and the singing of James T.
Kelly were particularly good. There
was not large audience in attendance.

witnessed the melodrama, Lost in New
York"
THE closed season on Tuffed grouse,
or partridges, was off Su nday. The
birds are said by sportsmen to be num-
erous this season, and gunners are look
ing forward to a season of fine sport as
soon as the leaves are well off the trees.
At present the grouse are in the black
berry bushes and in the second growth,
and are hard to find without the aid of a
dog. A little later, when they get into
the larger woods. there will be no end of
shooting. Sport will be particularly
good before the birds get scattered"
from the coveys, in which they will be
found for several weeks.
