"Dnwnin Dixie"

Down in Dixie" Mr.. Scott Marbles
pleasing drama of southern life, is the
attraction the last part of this week
and drew big audience last night.
The piece. which was seen in this
city only a short time ago, is produced
under the direction of Messrs. Thomas
II. Davis and William r. Keogh, who
can always be depended upon for first
class production of any play bearing
their name. The story of Down in
Dixie is familiar.
The strong cast was heartily received
and enthusiastically applauded through
the evening. The character of Jack
Calhoun. son of a wealthy southerner,
who loves q poor young girl was man
fully assumed by Mr.. Frank Walcott.
Mr.. James A. Num- was a very digni-
fled judge, and Mr. Maurice Pike was
fully up to the standard as the squire.
Mr.. Mack Charles and Mr.. Albert w.
Moore, in the character of Abe Lamp
ton and Alvin Curtis, respectively, were
williams of the deepest dye" and they
played their parts with care and good
effect.
Miss Lillian Mortimer was the star of
the cast, and did herself full justice
in the manner in which she handled the
character of Georgia Hale
Mr.. and Milt G. Barlow were seen to
excellent advantage as an old colored
couple, and their many negro songs and
fancy dances were thoroughly appre-
ciated. The singing and dancing of the
twenty-five pickanninies We're remark
ably good, and the playing of the fam
Gus boys band was worth twice the
price of admission, and they were OBJ
liged to respond to over half dozen en-
cores.
Down in Dixie" is sure of big houses
to-day and tomorrow.
Lookout for the pickanniny band pa
rade to-day at noon through the prin-
cipal streets.

A FIVE OPENING.

Howe & Stetson Sh n Fine Display Of
Foreign and Domesti, Novelties That
More Than Please the Eyes of the Many
Ladies Who Crowded the Store Wednes-
day aud Thursday.
Howe &, Stetsons opening show of
spring goods took place on Wednesday
and Thursday. The store was artisti-
cally trimmed and decorated for the
occasion. On Wednesday when the day
was fine the store was crowded by
ladies, who spoke in fiattering terms of
the fine display and moderate prices
asked for the goods. This firm all
though the youngest of our present
great dry goods firms is without doubt
one of the most popular. The various
departments, including silks, dress
goods, cloaks, laces, wash goods, linens
hosiery, gents furnishings, hannels and
notions were each and all marvel of
beauty, and might it be said to the
ladies, a joy forever. In the former
we noticed the latest novelties from the
various foreign and home looms, while
the dress goods department showed the
pickings of the Bradford and Continent
tai factories, the cloak department had
almost everything in the way of wraps
and garments to suit the tastes of even
the most fastidious. Visiting the wash
goods stock we were greatly struck
with light and airy materials that could
be purchased for what might be termed
next to nothing. Following our rounds
we stopped at the linen counter and
there were shown some very exquisite
designs in table linen and napkins,
while visit to the flannel department
revealed some beautiful designs in en-
broidered hannels at very low figure.
The art department was also well
stocked with beautiful and artistic
work, while in the notion part every
thing could be found from a needle to
an anchor.

!. THE BICYCLE IN NEW HAVEN.

First Wheel in the City-A New Haven Man
First President of the T.. A. W.-Some of
the Early Riders-About Eight Thousand
Riders in New Haven.
On all sides it is conceded that the
season of SO will be the banner one in
the bicycle world. A representative of
the Courier made a call among some of
the leading bicycle men in the city yes
terday and CLEANED some interesting
facts as to the first use of the bicycle in
this city. They were unable to state
the time that the first bicycle appeared
in this city, but it was some time in
1879 A man by the name of Pittman
came here and exhibited a. bicycle on
the old green.
The first bicycle seen in this country
was at the centennial in 1876. 1t was
an English wheel The first bicycle to
be made in this country was manufact-
ured by F. w. Weston in 1877 in New
York city.
Among the early riders in this city
were c. P. Wurtz, w. M. Frisbie, +. c.
futile, JIG. Thompson and S. Arthur
Marsden, who was the first president
of the League of American Wheelmen
1t was about 1879 that they began to be
used in this city. 1t is estimated that
there are now from 5000 to 5000 riders
in New Haven.
1t is expected that there win be some
fast time made at the races here this
year and that some records will be
broken.

and quietly, with q long, slow, straight
ahead stroke, with no squirting. The only
change | ever make from this is to the
side stroke, and this but rarely. never
dive on a long swim. 1t uses up ones s
wind too quickly. But the sensation of
going through the water with an easy,
even, straight-ahead stroke, knowing you
are good for any reasonable distance, is
little more like flying than anything else
1 know"
l wonder why it is that most of us
think we know what flying is really like.
We compare every sort of sensation with
this one, which none of US has ever known,
as glibly as though flying were matter of
everyday human experience. AS matter
of fact flying, when it comes to be a hu-
man possibility, will probably not bring
into play half the powers that swimming
exerts. The swimming bath has of late
years been even brought into requisition
as an adjunct to the training of trotting
horses. There is nothing finer for devel-
oping the muscles and putting the skin in
healthy, active working order. Any one
who has experienced it does not need to
be reminded of the delicious. stimulating
effect of sea water upon the skin. There
is nothing in the world quite like it, and
the woman who can avail herself of its
benefits and fails to do so makes a serious
mistake. One need not be q long-distance
swimmer to enjoy the delights of sea-
bathing. There is ample exercise afforded
by the swimming baths with which this
City is we'll supplied, but there is addi-
tionaI delight in any sport enjoyed under
the blue sky, and the new woman would
do well to turn part OF her activity toward
popularizing bathing on some of the avail
able beaches hereabouts.
Fit to be ranked with swimming is the
time-honored, humble, but eminently use
full exercise of walking. By this 1 mean
genuine walk. where the air is pure and
the ground sufficiently uneven to afford
some muscular e1ertion; the scene
varied enough to interest and stimulate
the brain. This latter effect is an essen
tlal in every effort at physical culture.
