MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCuilum's Theatre.

The illumination of the battleships in
the harbor is proving to be stronger
attraction for visitors than the New Eng
land fair. Just remember when you go
down to see this great spectacle that by
buying % cent coupon ticket for McCul-
lum's Peaks island theatre, you can have
a full view of the ships both going and
coming and for the same price you can
enjoy two hours of delightful entertain
ment witnessing BARLEY McCullum' s fine
production Of Edwin Milton RoyIe's great
four-act comedy drama Friends This
play is full of human interest, bright
comedy and strong dramatic situations.
Tt is sure to please you. Next week
"Incog" one of the most laughable farce
comedies ever written will be produced.
Mr.. McCullum has engaged four new peo-
pie, who have just arrived from New
York to play "Incog'' another great
comedy that will furnish the fun the last
week of his summer season.

The attendance at Riverton yesterday

are to be congratulated on the successful
manner in which the large crowds of the
day were transported to and from the

popular this season as ever and the audi
ences are pleased with the novel and dar-
ing feats of the athletics.

Down on the flag ship New York
among the crowd was gang of pick
rockets whose appearance was by no
means an index of their character. Thew
picked several pockets and among those
that suffered was City Clerk Dyer, who
lost about $50. When the Forest Queen
reached her dock on the return from the
ship two men tried their little game and
one man in the crowd on who one of the
fellows was exercising his skill found out
what he was up to and drawing off hit
him terrible blow that felled him to the
ground and the crowd buttoned on to
him. At first it was thought that his eye
had been knocked out. The police took
the man in charge and marched him to
the station. He had nothing on his per-
son to prove his crookedness except a
handkerchief that Mr.. Dyer said looked
exactly like his. The mans confederate,
a big man who probably had the stolen
property, escaped in the confusion. The
man arrested gave ais name as John Gale
of Boston.
People are cautioned to keep sharp
lookout on their front and back doors
and keep them locked.
At Rigby also the light fingered gentry
were at work, and three Of them were
gathered in. Chief Flynn caught one just
as he was going through the grand stand
gate. Two others were caught by the
sheriffs.
Several pockets were picked that were
reported. Probably many were picked and
unreported. One man, however, is said
to have lost $500.

We're the excited an shrill shouts Of
groups of urchins in this portion of the
earth last evening when the big warships
began to throw the rays from their search
lights across the heavens. The light was
visible for miles around, and made ex
element in the breasts of old as we'll a:
young. On the cars, as they rolled toward
the various points of observation the shots
from the searchlights excited the liveliest
anticipations.
Fort Allen park, the wharves and the
shores of the Cape and the islands were
the favorite observations. Fort Allen
park was black with people, and from
there was obtained one of the finest views

the heavens. Next lay the battleshiI

from bow over the masts to the stern, as
the most striking feature of her decora-
tions The battleship Maine lying next
and farther up the harbor was thing
of beauty, with electric lights all over
her, delineating her hull, her tunnels, her
rigging and all the prominent portions
of her construction. Double lines of light
ran from bow to stern over her masts
lights.
The cruiser New York. flagship, was
conspicuous by two great arches of light,
spanning the vessel from port to starboard
There were also many other lights alon e
the hull, causing the great cruiser to
stand out like ship of fire.
But the Brooklyn, the fast cruiser that
went to the Queens diamond jubilee and
there showed her lights, was the most
delicate and at the same time the most

was bathed in brilliant light that flashed
and scintillated as from ship of dia-
monds.
All the vessels used their search lights,
but the battleships Massachusetts, and
Iowa, which were farthest towards the
Cape shore and were not illuminated,
seemed to have the most active and pow
erful search lights.
About s o'clock rain began to fall and
had the effect of scattering some of the
people, but yet large crowds continued
to watch the display. The electric cars
were simply loaded with people all the
evening. The whole town seemed disposed
to move out of their houses into Man ager
Newman's smooth rolling tenements.
Some of them seemed disposed to stay in
the cars all the evening and view the
ships, the illuminations of Congress
street and the animated town generally.

Of Course

You are going to visit the warships
while they are in the harbor to see the
officers quarters and the great guns, and
to have one of those polite officers tell
how they are worked in time of war. 1t
is something worth going long way &c
hear about. The Casco Bay steamers
carried hundreds to the feet yesterday
and they will continue to do SO every day
while they are here. Don't miss this
chance but go on board at least one of the
big ships before they leave.

A GROUNDED WIRE.
Causes Temporary Delay in Running tn,
Electrics Last Evening.

There was brief delay of about
fifteen or twenty minutes last night,
when the cars Of the Portland electric
road were returning from Fort Allen
Park after the illumination of the fleet.
A wire dropped in Westbrook and
grounded the line. As has been said
the inconvenience was temporary and
service was quickly resumed. The road
handled the great crowd very we'll last
night and could have done it even better
if number Of people who went up to
the Park had not remained in the cars,
just taking glimpse of tie illumina-
tons, and then riding back, thus keeping
many people stalled at the Park that
otherwise could have taken the seats,
thus giving all a chance.

A great many would raise more sweet
potatoes If they Just could keep them

they will keep as well as turnips although
they have been handled rough, exposed.

not keep. even if they are handled as care
fully as hot house plants. The general mis-
take most every one makes is ~ Keep them
