DRAMATlCS.

'@The Girl From Paris arrived yester- day on schsdule time and with an un- usually strong company appeared at OBr.en's afternoon and evening, at each performance being greeted by large and enthussd audiences.
 This 2-act novsky is by far the best production ever sent south by Ed E. Rice, and he is to be congratulated for offering something so much out of the ordinary.
 With enough of the French to give spice, able principals and a strong cho- rus, the production went with a rush and whirl. fairly suggestive of Gay Paree."
 Among the principals Miss Mamie Gill roy as "The Girl From Paris" Edgar Halstead as Honeycomb and James D. Sullivan as Hans, the inn keeper, were the fayorites, and each acted well. The fun-making procliv.ties of Hans, the Parisian air of "The Girr' and the Shining Light of Honeyoomb was the life of the play, though the other princi- pals and chorusas added much.
 Fleurette in her Parisian dance was delightfully."- pleasing and showed greaa skill
 The Flisnch Quadrille was exciting, but not to say vulgar and was greatly relished.
 The performances proved all that had been promised.
 The first play to deal with the rebellion in Cuba is 'TThe Last Stroke" which cocnes to O'Brien's tomorrow night. It comes to this city recommended as play of unusual strength, and it has been characteris tically mounted by Jacob Litt who is beyond question the most liberal manager in this respect engaged in the production of melodrama in this country. "The Last Stroke" teens with excitement and scenes of thrilling inter- Jest and the fact that it was the best mounted, best played and universally commended as the best American melo- drama seen on the New York stage last season will insure for it a warrn recep- ton in this city.
 Eugene Bedding, a member of the "Girl From Paris" company is a young man, Frenchman and jolly, 5ovial fellow and clever actor with it. MT. Bedding has had war experiences as we'll as experience behind the foot lights.
 He was a member of company par ticipating in the Riel rebellion. He was in crack company, was the youngest member, only IT years of age, and was out for honors.
 His father objected, but the young. re- cruit went nevertheless. During the first battle he was a little excited and also somewhat frightened. The first battle was out of Butte aux Francaus, excitement. ran 200 yards in front of the company.
 Army life grew hard, and wh2n return ing home he was adorned with a pair of pants made of flour sacks and he still keeps these as a souvenir
 While he was in the army hs rose to promotion and when he returned home to gladden. his father he had the title of captain. "I could not sleep in bed for two weeks,' said he, 'it was too soft"
 Last season MT. Bedding managed Mai-tinus Sieve King, the graat Dutch pianist and subsequently conducted the artistic concert tour of Chas.

 The pacing division of the Kentucky stock farm purse was won by Will Sey- burn. ManueIla and Nancy Burns d. vided second and third money.

 The second heat was closely contested. Dan Cupid and Senator A. fighting it out for furlong, the former winning by a narrow margin from the Pennsylvania winner of 1S96
 The race now looked to be Dan Gu bids, but he made a break in the third heat, and Pilot Boy won easily.
 The fourth heat was an easy victory for the gray Michigan horse, and by a curious coincidence the time for the first -four heats was exactly the same, 2:o9A.
 In the fifth heat Fred B and Pilot Boy trotted head and head the whole mile, the latter winning by nose after a fierce struggle.
