Riverton Park.

Today everyone who can should visit
the Park and see Towards Comique
Novelty Company. Wylie and Sanford
are admirable in their sketches, while
Edward Emerson is one Of the best char.
acter impersonators on the boards. Mr..
a. B. Wait is not only violinist OF
great taste and skill. but he is capital
entertainer as well. Manuel Roman il
one of the most delightful tenor singers
that has ever been heard IN this vicinity,
and Mr. E. G.. Triokey as pianist and
accompanist, is very pleasing.
The squirrels are just as lively as oriok
cts, and their cage is continually sur
rounded by the children.
The Casino is exceedingly attractive
and never were the balconies more wor
thy of patronage, for here one can sill
and look over the leafy panorama spread
before him with the foliage changing il
the early frosts of September, and W
the mirror like winding Prssumpscot.
A sail up the river in the steamer, o.
one of the launches is a rare treat.
The Portland newspaper men will b,
entertained at Riyerton park by the Port
land Railroad company this afternoon
The trip to the park will be made in tn,
Pullman car Bramhall at 23O o'cloel
