THE MAY DAY CARNIVAL.

The annual May day carnival was given
at City hall yesterday afternoon and
evening to crowded houses, the audience
applauding heartily. The parts as pre-
viously published in thu PRESS, were
exceedingly well taken. The entertain
ment consisted Of the operetta in three
acts Of Lady Bountifuls Heiress, (which
abounds in pleasing music. The rich and
childless Lady Bountiful decides to
choose, from the young girls Of the vii
lage, some one to adopt for daughter and
heiress. She gives notice of her intention
and invites those who wish to be candi-
dates to assemble in the market place al
midday; she meets them there and gives
each gold piece with which to make
purchases. Finding on their return that
they have been very vain and selfish in
buying only tinery to make display Of
themselves. she turns them all aside and
chooses the modest and good girl Ger
trude, who would not become candidate
because she could not leave her poor little
sister. but Lady Bountiful takes both.
The operetta was pretuily staged and
mounted. The Living Shield" and
other stage pictures given by the csc
children created great enthusiasm.

MUSIC AND DRAMa.
THE STARS AND STRIPES FOR
EVER.

Arrangements are now complete for the
production of the March King Sousa's
last success, 1.-The Trooping of the Col
ors,' at City hall, Portland, Thursday
afternoon and evening. May 10Th. We are
most fortunate in securing this date, as
only the larger cities have been favored
and no other date will be given nearer
than Boston. A large chorus of ladies
and gentlemen will be used, together with
U. S. Infantry, sailors, English grena.
diers, German infantry, French zouaves,
Scotch bagpipes, Tyroelse singers, and last
but not least, Sousa's only band, aug
mented to 60 members, under the person
al direction of John Philip Sousa. Re-
ports come from the larger cities where
this production has been seen of the
greatest possible enthusiasm, vast audi
ences standing and singing the national
hymns and airs and almost refusing to
be satisfied. Arrangements have been
made for special rates on all railroads.

HOYT's "a BUNCH OF KEYS. /,

Polished up to date Hoyt's Bunch of
Keys will he seen at the Portland theatre
Friday, Saturday and Saturday matinee.
A good thing never grows old. This is
the reason why "a Bunch of Keys goes
with such n whirl of fun and excitement.
Enthusiasm is the only word to describe
the state of the people who witness Hoyt's
funny comedy. There is a roar of
laughter from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. Not the kind of laughter that
comes from the gallery. but the guffaw
that convulses the entire house from top
to bottom. All the music, features, songs,
dances and medleys are new, and good
deal of new business has been introduced,
SO altogether, it is almost new comedy.
The company is entirely new, and headed
by Miss Ada Bothner as Teddy. All the
original scenery is used by the company.
including the famous hotel scene with
the two upstairs rooms.
JOSEPH HAWORTH.
No more favorite actor on the Ameri-
can stage will visit the Jefferson Theatre,
with all its list of very best attractions
before the public, than Mr.. Joseph Ha-
worth. and the management takes great
pleasure in announcing this sterling &C.
tors appearance for four performances,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights,
and Saturday matinee, May S, 6 and z.
Joseph Haworth is on spring starring
tour previous to his departure for Europe,
whittier he goes in search of plays for
next season.
Mr.. Haworth has chosen for this
special engagement here his three strong.
er roles, Hamlet, Romeo and Macbeth.
He is supported by Miss Bertha Galland
and specially selected company of well
known players of the classic drama. The
sudden closing recently OF such COMPANIES
as Fanny Davenport's, Il. S. Wizards,
Mime. Modjeska's and Julia Arthur's has
afforded an excellent opportunity for
choice and exceptional support, and MIR.
W. III. Wilkinson, who is directing Mr.
Haworth's tour, has seen to it that the
plays are adequately cast.
The sale of seats opens this morning at
clock and we have had such a great
lack of the classic drama, especially of
Shakespearean, that having the opport l.
nifty now and such q notable exponent of
the great Shakespearian role, the advance
sales and attendance should be immense.
Tie arrangement of the repertoire is AS
follows: 4hursday and Saturday nights,

Last Night.
On Monday morning at about three
O'Clock, gang of burglars visited South
Portland and evidently began operating
at the corner Of Front and Sawyer
streets.
The outer window of Wilson'S drug
store was pried open by chisel. and the
fastening catch was broken. The proprie-
tor discovered yesterday morning that the
money drawer, which has combination
lock had been broken into and tho drawer
was found on the floor.
At the time Of the forcibly entry the
drawer contained three coppers and two
postage stamps. which the burglars dis
dained to touch.
Adjoining Wilson's drug store is the
barber shop Of Woodbury. & Lamb. They
discovered that the window in the rear
of their establishment had been opened
and upon investigation it was found that
fourteen or fifteen razors and a pair of
clippers had been stolen. Riohs restau-
rant and Thurrells drug store were also
visited but little was abstracted.
At about three O'Clock Monday morning
Mr. Dyer who has grocery store on
Sawyer street was aroused by the barking
of dog and opening his window discov-
cred three men clad in long listers near
his shop.
Mr.Dyer said, "G ct out, or will put a
bullet in you" The reply came, "haul
your head in or will blow your brains
out" A carriage was seen by Mr.. Dyer
just below Tilton's drug store and to it
the gang betook themselves and left the
neighborhood.
In most instances the burglars left their
instruments behind them, for ch1sels
were found in the rear of the barber
shop, and in the front door of Dyer's
shop. No trace of the burglars has as yet
been found and this affair calls to the re-
newed attention of the citizens of South
Portland the necessity of some sort of
police protection against thieving bands.
