The late crop will probably be better,
but even then about one-half the
acreage planted Is about the same as
last year The price paid Is about s. per

inferior In size to the uDual yield.

lv after 10:30 O'Clock last evening and
were escorted to the engine house on
School street by the Central Falls associ.
alton. The showing made was good and
the "boys" would have felt happy but for
the sad accident which cost one OF the
aids his life.
One reason for the Hay Cart losing was
that there was not full complement OF
men on the brakes. 1t was expected that
each engine would be given 10 minutes,
but It was cut down to 10 minutes, and
when the time arrived for the Pawtuckets
to 60 on the stand only half of the men
were there.

CLOSED THE House.
Nothing More atthe Opera
House This Week.
SHOWS TO Be FIRST CLASS.
The Management Insists That the De-
mand OF the Public be Considered.

Ths play that was given at the Paw
tucket Opera House last evening was
brought here through q misu nderstand-
Ing OF the facts by the management. Ma
zeppa IL an old and established favorite,
and good representation of It will al
ways draw crowd and please them. It
was claimed that the company who ap-
peared last night was q first class one,
and their credentials seemed to justify
that conclusion. But the fact was en-
tirely different. Early in the evening IL
became evident that something was
wrong, and It was seriously considered
whether IL would not be best to dismiss
the audience and refund their money.
The manager Of the show would not
sgree to this, and the performance dragged
on to an end. But 10 was q dead failure,
not scarcely redeeming feature. This
morning Mr. Saulson insisted that there
should be q thorough and mosJ careful
dress rehearsal. The show people said
"no." Then he demanded that they
should paw back Whatever money might
be taken for the evening, II the perform
ance was not better than last night. This
they would not agree to. Then he can.
celied the engagement and decided that IL @
house should remain dark for the balance
OF the week, rather than deceive or inn
pose upon It's patrons. SO there Will be
nothing tonight or on Saturday.
On Monday the house will be open an
usual, and the drama OF "Garry Owen"
given by Tony Farrell and strong sup
port, will be offered. This has met with
great success elsewhere, and the proba.
bility Is that the same will be true here.
The management have spared no pains
or expense In thoroughly reftting the
theatro and making 1t one ofssne prettiest
and most attractive play houses In New
England, and they are determined thta
nothing except the very best shall be pre-.
scnted.
