PARKlR,s "rHE MAYFLowER., /,
LyceuIn Company Presenting a. New
Play the Latter Half OF the Week.

IL was an agreeable surprise which
greeted the audience at the Columbia
Tneater yesterday afternoon. Keeping a
new play until late in the week and In
Producing it at matinee is not suggestive
OF any thing out OF the ordinary. Especially
is II not supposed TO be so good play as
that with which the engagement opens
Yesterday afternoon the Lyceum company
presented The Mayflower,f by Napoleon
Parker, author of Rosemary" and il
proved TO be genuine treatin allfespects
The Mayflower" is a story Of seven
teenth century days, when the Plritans
OF England sought refuge from intoler,
ence, where they might The story is
about "a small circle OF Pilgrims; but, as
Miss Mannering promised a chorus, there
was no attempt at introducing historical
people They went first to Amsterdam,
where they are when the story OPENS;
then on the quay OF Plymouth at the sail
ing Of the Mayflowcr; then in the fresh
primeyal on the shores of the new world.
The three scenes were shown i'll three
charming pictures.
Mr.. Parker's story is more atmospheric
and romantic than dramatic, early, but
the third act s not merely interesting, it
is absorbing. This dramatist writes With
such "A dainty touch that he must need
have excellent artists TO interpret him. In
Rosemary" any other aiding woman
might have obliterated the latent beauty
OF Doliie. which Miss A AdamsHnade SO de-
icious, aud in THE Mayflower" many an
other actor than Edmund Morgan might
have failed to sustain liberation for Poy
nings until he showed himsel in so good
light at the end. Even then the fine
dramatic ability of this actor carried the
scene in manner TO the surerlative of
excellence. Mr.. Morgan is no average
player He not only thinks and speaks, but
he feels as well, and the audience read ia
his face a whole chapter OF unspoken
thought.
The company is good all through. Mr.
Hackett plays Lord Carpw nicely, and
good words are deserved OF Miss Manner
ing as Joan, Mrs. Whiffen as Bridget,
Charles Wolcott as Jones, Felix Morris as
Mallory, and Bessie Tyree as Clcely.
Joe Wheelock is especially good as u
Dutch lover with a limited English vocab-
uiary and a capital dialect. J Brandon
lyman, new to Washington. gave vivaci9us
character TO the irish boy, Tim Mutt, and
may bear away the satisfaction of having
done an inconspicuous part well. Mr..
Carter is new in the Lyeeum cast, and
he. too, proved himself player OF iudg-
inent, skill and humorous temper rament as
Tobias, the parson. ''The Mayflo wer"
will be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night.

CURIOUS ANIMALS.
Giant and Pigmy Creatures, Huge
Gorilla and Blue-Nosed
Maudrill.

Curious living wonders in great profu
sion are to be seen in the two menageries
of Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on
Earth, which is To exhibit here On North
Capitol street.
Among them Is group of natures most
Il sautic, curious and diIiinutive speci-
mems OF animals. There is a fuIl-sized and
perfectly formed hairless horse, its glossy
body devoid OF even a single lair, and
which but for the fact OF its being alive
would seem TO have been carved out Of
stone. Another queer-looking animal i s a
steer with three perfectly formed horns,
three perfect eyes, and three regular nos
.rils, but which, in all other respects, cor
responds TO the average animal. Still an
other rare sight is the giant OK, almost as
big as some OF the elephants.
BY way of contrast to these latter, are
several diminuiye cattle, veTitablc dwarfs,
thrty-two inches, or only eight hands
high, the entire forming probably one OF
the most interesting and wonderful cOllec-
tions of odd gigantic and strange living
beasts ever seen. To these have been
added two Of the most remarkable amin ais
on the face of the globe Johanna, the
giantess gorilla, aud blue-nosed man
ly approach man in their appearance and
actions than any other animal known TO
exist, and in their anatomy differ only in
some slight respects
II these curious and rare animals sur
yive the changes of climate in this coun-
try, they will prove the greatest attrac-
ton ever seen even In that world OF WON
ders, the Greatest Show on Earth. Besides
these, again, there are savage beasts who
perform a series of wonderful tricks.
These are but few of the attractions
of the show this year, but there are sixteen
champion male and female bareback rid
crs, hosts OF aeriaiists, gynnasts, clowns
and acrobats, twenty-four performing eie-
plants, seventy trained horses, perform
ing at one time in concentric rings, and
again the picturesque exhibition OF ma
ficians, jugglers, fire kings, lightning cal
culators, uscians, and others, who per
form Characteristic dances, and curious
displays; an equestrian tournament, three
rings, three stages, race track, two me,
