OF extending the time within which the railroads
Of the country may comply with the provisions OF

at noon to-day. The Commission intends TO take

The Third Cavalry Band will leave the
city at z O'Clock today by rail for its
proper s tation at Fort Ethan Allen, VT.
The uniformly good department and
courteous demeanor of the men and the
high order of music which they furnished,
especially in concert, while in the city,
should cause them to be pleasantly re-
membered by our citizens and their many
guests during the period of the New Eng
land Fair.
Chief Musician Bessy.and Sergt. Hays,
who have charge of this excellent organi-
cation, have every reason to feel proud at
the favorable impression that the band
has made and to them no little credit is
due for the high standard of musical ex-
cellence which the band has reached.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Eigh t Bell.

The novelty OF a.. steamship turning
completely over in mid-ocean and the
passengers still remaining right side up
is certainly a very laughable conceit.
The Byrne brothers, who appear at Port
land Theater next Friday and Saturday
evening in Eight Bells are doubtless
aware of this feature as fun-maker
when they embodied it in their curious
spectacular production of that name. :
The Byrnes have also retained all the
best features of the old skit which was
funny. These include the ship, scene,
the boarding school auction, and the.comi-
| cal horse and the stage coach horse play.
AS everybody knows, the brothers are
great acrobats and as supple as cells.
There is good variety of songs and
dances in the new version, with pretty
music and prettier girls. There is the
ghost of love story running through the
maze Of tumblngs sequences also, which
is very laughable. The supporting COM
pany is generally agile and talented.
Tho Harry e. Brigham Concert Co.
Music hath charms,' to soothe not
only the savage breast, but to appeal to
the cultured intelligence in the same de-
gree. The crowds that everywhere greet
the Harry e. Brigham Concert Orchestra,
prove how universal in the love of melo-
dy. This organization, which comes to
Riverton Park tor the week of August
23rd, presents by far the most popular
entertainment of the kind ever attempted ;
professional musicians sit side by side
with people who do not know one note
from another, both equally charmed with
the novelty and true artistic worth of the
entire performance. While the work of
the orchestra alone is a musical treat, it
is supplemented and enhanced by an ar
ray of vocal selections. introducing popu-
lar ballads, descriptive and character
songs and dances, the whole affording a
constantly varying entertainment that is
most tuneful to the ear as well as pleasing
to the eye.
