The few, extras which are necessary
to give Louis H. Broome's City Hall
monstrosity a finished appearance viii
cost $10,567, and there is a likelihood Of
a few thousand dollars more being tackled
on before the building is ready for occu-
pancy.
Bids for the extra work were received
by the City Hall Commissioners this
morning. The Phillip Semmer Glass
Company will furnish s.. 400 worth Of
stained glass; Pagan Iron Works $3.50
worth of iron; John English will do 1856
worth more of mason work., and Henry
j. Harmed, who has Alderman Mitchell
for a partner, will have to do painting
to cost S5.941. Bids for the work were
received from F.. A. Brautigan, George
III. Payne, &C. S. Weber, John O'Donohue
and James Ellington, but they were in
formal, the contractors having failed to-
send a check with their estimates. No
bids were received for the pneumatic
tubing or the telephone wiring. Bids are

AM USEME


Tonight. tomorrow and Wednesday at
the Lyric Theatre. Hoboken. Sowing the
Wind will be introduced to the piay-go-
ing element Of this city. Although sgd
rey Grundy was already a well known
playwr.g ft before his Sowing the Wind"
appeared, everything that he had prev
icusly written seems to have been forgot
ten in the presence of this masterpiece.
The play deals with a phase of social
life that Is continually pressing itself up
on thoughtful minds, and yet which is of
such a delicate nature that few dramatic
authors are able to handle it in a suitable
way for stage purposes. The relations of
the sexes and their relative moral respon-
sibllity for the maintenance of domestic
purity is Mr.. Grundy's theme, and he
treats it with the earnestness of a
philosopher and the skill of a master.
He brings together as a principal and OPP
posing characters in the play a young
woman and her father, neither being
aware of their relationship to each other,
the girls mother having been betrayed
and cast aside by the father. This mar
is now the adopted father of his daugh-
ter's lover and is refusing to permit the
marriage until the mystery of the girls
parentage is cleared up.
The contest between these two SO
strangely brought together is the basis of
tine plot.
The costumes are triunphs in that line.
being splendid reproductions of the style
in vogue in England In 1880.
