PREPARING FOR THE FIRST NIGHT
Stockholders of The Jefferson Draw
st Seats.


Mr.. Fay Promises Good Clean Entertain
: ments-Incidents of the Meeting
BIZ The stock holders of 1.-THE Jefferson
had meeting Monday afternoon at the
Falmouth to determine upon the method
of distributing the chances to buy tickets
for the opening night, September IA. b 1T
seems to be the general opinion that the
stockholders who have furnished the
money to build the splendid play house
should have the first chancs to select seats
when the sale begins. The plan adopted
has been to allow a stakeholder who sub
scribed $1,000 to select four seats one who
subscribed $500 three seats and one who
put in $3.50 two seats. These preferences
were determined by lot. One hundred
and fifty six cards were numbered from
one upwards. and the stockholders present
drew the cards, the one getting number
one having first choice and those getting
higher numbers having choices in order.
There was no little merriment as tine
drawing proceeded. Number one was
drawn by Mr.. John F. A. Merrill, who
represented MIR. j. w. Fitzpatrick. On
his own account Mr.. Merrill was not
quite SO lucky. Mr.. James f. Hawkes.
drew No. 2, and Hon. Seth L. Larrabee
No 4. Hon. W. f. Milliken drew No. Al.
Some OF the unlucky ones were Messrs.
George S. Howell, who drew No. III.
Fred E. Richards who drew No. 1879, T.
p. Beals, who got 129, and George Paw
son, who was very near the end with No,
.155
But after all, the numbers did not make
much difference, as there were good seats
enough for all. The stockholders will
take only between 500 and 800 seats, and
there are over 1900 seats in the theatre.
50 Manager Fay, the lessee of the theatre.
was present and was introduced to the
stockholders during the meeting. He
addressed the meeting briefly, promising
them that he should give to the patrons
of the theatre good, clean entertainments
Hon. Charles F. Libby, during the pro-
ceedings, asked if the, house was to be
called simply "The Jefferson He
thought the words theatre should be
added to distinguish it as a theatre The
name without the word theatre suggested
the apartment house.
AT the conclusion of the drawing the
stockholders came forward in their order
and selected their seats Preferences were
divided between the orchestra and dress
circle on the first floor, and the seats in
the first balcony.
Throughout the proceedings the greatest
interest and pleasure was manifested in
the new play house.

HIGH PRAISE INDEED.
The Spectators and the Entertainment Are
 Both Remarkable at the N Circus.

We have the excellent authority of the New York Sun for the statement which fol- lows about the wonderful show of Barnum & Bailey which will exhibit here on Satur- day May 22
 The spectators are brilliant part of the Barnum & Bailey show at Madison Square Garden No gathering in that great build ing. mot even at the horse or dog exhibition, have brought together assemblages more positively fashionable. The boxes are near ly all filled at every performance by circus parties, children predominating in the af- ternoons, while finely clothed and hammered adults compose the evening groups. The entertainment is as good as any that the Barnum & Bailey firm has ever presented, and in smoothness and celerity 1t is im- provement on former seasons. From the opening of the doors until o'clock the crowds pass through the menagerie. which is an excellent collection, containing not on- ly the harder beasts common to the shows, but number of creatures-such as the rhi- noceros, hippopotamus and the giraffe-not often seen in captivity. The accommoda- tions of the Garden suit themselves admir- ably to the requirements, for the stalls serve for a good incidental display of circus horses and ponies. The arena diversion be- gins at o'clock with three rings and three platforms, and not a moment is lost in the very rapid succession of feats in gymnas- tcs, equestrianism, and the training of anil mals which has been described in the Sun as a big affair. The new, clean attractive in- terior of the Garden gives to this huge entertainment an air of gentility and refine ment quite in keeping with the audience Johanna, the famous gorilla, is the only creature of it's kind in captivity in the world, and is startlingly human-like in ev- erything. The 70 trained horses which per- form many marvellous feats at the same time in the same ring, the three herds of ed- sucated elephants, and the new entertain ment with its picturesque features are all most meritorious,
