Is this Your Purse?
Last Nights Show.

There was crowd TO greet the
Punch Ro bertson company at tt opera
house last night. TIE show was very
good, but catered too much to the
gallery GODS" aud some of the gags
were coarse and even vulgar. Last
nights show did not prove TO be of the
refined caste that the Ell Paso public is
used to seeing. Mr.. Robertson may
procure ''top-heevy" house s 10 Ell Pa o
if he so desires, but when he caters to
that element he will find many vacant
seats in the dress circle and parquet.
The troupe is capable of plea>ing the
general aud ience as we'll as the gallery
if it SO desires. but they can not please
the Ell Paso theatre going pub ic with
smutty jokes aud coarse gags. A clean
show is what the Ell PasO public waits
and tn, Punch Robe rtson company has
the ability to give this class of eute--
to inmsnt If they want to. There is no
douo about the company being actors,
but the trouble is with the class of
audience they are trying to please
a I'D they will fad this out before they
have spent the week in Ell Paso.

FAIR" SHOWERS.
All Fairs Are Liable to Have
Them.
But the New England Wasn't In
jured Much
And the Races Were Exciting and Exhibit.
Await Visitors.

Rigby Park, Aug. 6.-(SpeciaD.-Old
Sol has again been playing at his stale
old game of peek boo" through the
clouds and in consequence not many
people turned out to witness the first
days entertainment offered by the
management of the New England fair.
The first day isn't much anyway. They
don't pretend that it is. It's more of
preparatory day although there is
plenty to take up ones attention.
The cattle sheds are well filled up and
more cattle are coming every hour.
They are not yet classified and the
crowd are paying but little attention to
them.
1t is noticeable that the exhibit ofagri-
cultural implements is rather smaller
than usual. Kendall & Whitney of
Portland, have the largest exhibit.
The Midway-the much talked of
Midway isn't so warm as last year
although it hasn't lost it's drawing
qualities. 1t is different from Sunday
school. Among the Midway attractions
are the Boston Zoo with Chiquita, the
Cuban atom; the streets of Cairo: and
all the fakirs that so to make it anus
ing. Then there's troop F, Sd u. S.
Cavalry they are camped upon side
hill east of the park and they will be
an immense drawing card although
they didn't exhibit, today.
Lee Richardson, the champion trick
bicycle rider of the world, entertained
the crowd with some of his marvellous
| feats in front of the grand stand.
The poultry exhibit hasn't arrived yet
although large number are expected
| number starting.
Much interest was centered in the
bicycle races which are under the direc-
ton of the Portland Wheel Club under
| l.. A. w. sanction. The events were
the 1-mile handicap with IA starters
which owing to a misunderstanding al
! the start had to be run over, and the
1-mile open. Both We're hot stuff.
| The last race was won by e. A. Kicker
of Sanford Fred Mospan of Portland
second; and c. Il. Pike of Norway
third; time, 2.271a. A smashup in heat
| in the 300 class caused great excite
ment, but fortunately no one was in
jured.
Miss Myrtle Peek gave an exhibition
riding one horse and racing with an
| other horse which was riderleSS.
The Salem Cadet Band arrived late
in the afternoon and discoursed elegant
music. They gave grand concert this
evening at the Auditorium.
The exhibits at City hall and the Au
| Iitnriun are fast ratting into shane
and will be a grand attraction.
Tomorrow will offer pulling matches
trotting and pacing races, bicycle races
balloon ascension, parachute drop, all
ship ascension and countless other at
fractions at the halls in, the city. Troor
| + will exhibit.
