Amusements.

The following notice regarding the
Navin Bros Vaudeville Company
which opens a two nights engagement
at Meonian hall, tonight, is from the
Eastport Sentinel of Aug. IS:
"A large house greeted the Navin
Bros Company at the opera house,
last evening, who gave one of the best
performances seen here in years. From
start to finish there was not dull mo-
ment. The specialties We're new,
amusing and entirely free from any OBJ
jectonable features. Messrs. Crowley
and Foley opened the bill and at once
made themselves solid with the audi
ence by their clever dancing, songs and
sayings Master Fitzgerald has a Won
derful tenor voice and received numer-
Gus encores. Mcdowell and Beach APP
peared in their amusing sketch, "A
Mad Lover" introducing songs, all of
which was very amusing and made 4
decided hit. The dancing by Ashley
and Hunter was the best seen here and
received numerous encores. Miss LII
liam Beach was well received and Ar
thur Evans made friends by his
comicalities and jokes. The company
appear again this evening in change
of programme and are sure of big
house judging from the general salts
faction given last night

NEW GAME OF WITS.
II Is Called Character Quotations and Is
Entertaining.

The game of character quotations is
a new-fashioned way of holding the mir
ror up to nature and of seeing ourselves
as others see us. 1T also furnishes an eX-
cellent method of passing a pleasant eve
ming. for when are people ever so inter-
ested as in talking about themselves?
Long slips of paper are handed to each
participant in the game. who obligingly
affiXes his signature to the bottom and
passes it on to his neighbor on the
right. Beginning at the top of the paper.
the neighbor writes his impression of the
character and personality of its owner in
an appropriate verse of poetry selected
at random from some remembered au-
thor. If the stanZa is comic, so much the
more fun; if it is fulsome or sentimental.
so much the more confusion for the re-
cipient when it is read to the jeering as
sembly.
When the first neighbor has written his
impression he in turn sends it around the
circle, after having folded down his own
poetical estimate. If his memory fails
him altogether. or no suitable rhyme
comes to mind applicable to a special in
dividual. he is forced by the laws of
character quotations to compose a
stanza himself. At the conclusion of the
game. when the papers are covered with
Scribbling. the man on the right of the
lady reads her praises aloud, after which
she retaliates with his. Then the real OBJ
Ject of the play is seen-to fit each esti-
mate to the proper writer and to proper
ton future punishment to the nature of
the crime
