THE WHEEL CLUB MEET.

1t looks We ry much now as If the Maine
division of the League of American
Wheelmsn would have to get along this
year without spring meet. Chief Consul
A. W. Lowell of Portland has been in
correspondence with most of the clubs in
the state and has not yet succeeded in
finding one that is willing to entertain
the boys and take the responsibility of
making the occasion success.
The Lewiston and Auburn Wheel club
is too busy moving into it's new quarters
to take hold of the meeting this year.
Waterville is unable to get ready at such
short notice, but has expressed desire
to have the fall race meeting held there.
Rockland, Brunswick, Sanford and Bid
deford have sent negative answers to the
chief consul's inquiry.
AS last resort, Chief Consul Lowell
has appealed to the Portland Wheel club
to take the load off his shoulders and
entertain the Maine wheelmen here on
the Both. The club will hold a special
business session tonight to discuss the
matter. Several mem ers of the club are
| in favor Of holding the meet here with
races at either Rigby or Presumpscot
park, but there is lack of enthusiasm
about it that betokens failure of the
carrying out of that plan.

REVENUE BILL HELD UP.

Washington, May 3. -When the Senate
finance committee adjourned tonight
there was no certainty when the work on
the war revenue bill would be concluded.
The Democrats had not offered any OF
their propositions and the bond question
had not been taken up with view to
disposing of it. The Democratic mem bers
of the committee do not appear to have
yet agreed upon substitute for the DO nd
provision, but the present Indications are
that it will be tax on corporations
There was suggestion today favorable
to removing the entire tax on beer, but
the suggestion was not followed up
sufficiently to indicate its probable fate.
The only two points Of Importance which
are regarded as settled are that the ton
mage tax will go out and that the tobacco
tax provision will be SO modified as tG
exempt stock on hand.
Secretary Gage stated while giving his
testimony today that he had made no ar

securing their assistance in making a

JOSEPH HAWORTH AT BANGOR.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J
Bangor. May 3.-The theatrical event
Of the season was reserved for the last
here. After a whole year without any
Shakespearean presentations on the
boards, we have had two rare treats at
the Opera House tonight and last night.
in the appearance of Mr.. Joseph Haworth,
Americans leading exponent of the
classic drama. He reaped the accumu-
lated benefit that the few others Shakes
perean players have foolishly forfeited
by not choosing to go little out of their
way to visit Bangor. We have thirsted all
-slong for some good Shakesperean.pro-
auctions and local theatre-goers have
just now been drinking long and deep
at the never failing and Intellectually
refreshing spring of the immortal bard.
could judge from the great attendance
and the enthusiasm the opening night,
that the thirst would not be fully
quenched until we had seen Mr.. Ha-
worth's superb production tonight of
Macbeth, such favorable reports of which
have been reaching us of late.
Mr. Haworth's leading lady is Miss
Bertha Galland. charming and youth
full interpreter of Shakespeare's heroines,
who gave great promise when she visited
US earlier in tina season, and her Opheiia
in Hamlet showed marked improvement
placing her at once in the very front
ranks of Shakesperean actresses.
Her Lady Macbeth as played tonight
was watched with special interest for the
role proved to be her greatest artistic
achievement.
Mr.. Haworth's Hamlet, which we saw
for the first time in Bangor last night,
was all that was claimed for it in Boston,
the best since Booth. Mr.. Haworth S
support is excellent. Such adequate casts
in Shakesperean productions as we have
been favored with are rare in these days.
The houses were most brilliant, the best
we have had in that regard this season,
and there were very large audiences at
both performances.
CORSE PAXTON COMPANY.
Next week, at the Jefferson will appear
the comedian Mr.. Corse Payton and Miss
Eta Reed, with one of the biggest scenic
productions seen in our city at popular
prices. Monday night will be presented
