RIVERTON PARK.

The Moro castle mystery is true to its
name, so far as the mystery is concerned.
The Floyds have been pronounced the
cleverest sleight of hand people on the
vaudeville stage today, and it would he
a curiosity to see any team that could
beat them. They are completely mysti-
flying she patrons of Riverton park, and
their MORO castle mystery is the talk OF
the town. There are those who think
they know how it is done, and they will
proceed to explain until they get to some
special point when they will ackno WI
edge that they don't quite see how that
Is accomplished. The fact is the act is a
genuine novelty, nothing else like it be-
ing attempted b. other performers. Prof.
Floyd and his pretty little wife have
achieved something which even puzzles
the old performers, for even. If tho modus
operandi were thoroughly understood
there is question how the two make
a change in such short time. to say moth.
ing of the obstacles they have to overcom
when they do it.

Vice Consul Heating is senQlng ouu 0nls
circular:
British Vice Consulate,
Portland, Me-, August "a, 1885,
MY Dear Sir-It is my desire this sum-
mer to further enlarge the Portiano
Seamen's Recreation rooms, thereafter
to be known as the Seamen's INSTITUTED },
restaurant in connection with the same,
where meals and refreshments would be
served at very reasonable rate. The
whole to be in charge of q competent
ianitor and his wife. BY system OF
coupons bound in book form, propose
to sell number of meals to all who are
constantly called upon for help by men,
etc., out of work. These coupons WouIa
be redeemed at the restaurant for good
square meal.
AS you are aware, my idea in the
establishment of these rooms has been to
provide all seamen with comfortable ana
cheerful rooms where they can meet,
read the periodicals and papers (the lat.
ter are most kindly furnished by the local
editors,) and where note paper and en-
velopes are provided free to all desiring
to write home. In the winter free enter
tainments are frequently given in the
concert room, and on nearly all occasions
the talent has been furnished by the sea-
men, and many most enjoyable evenings
have been spent in this manner when
otherwise the men would either be COM
PEELED to remain in the forecastle or seek
amusement (?) in the numerous bar
rooms.
have felt all along that religious SER
vices should not be held in the rooms,
and I think my experiences in this re.
spect has proved that was right. But
do think and expect that thu churches
should appoint some representative to
visit the rooms, get acqu inted with the
men, and recruit from the rooms for the
numerous churches in the city.
l have only four permanent subscrib-
ers; one for $40 year; one for s., one
for 50, and one for 81 a year. Ny object
in addressing you is two-fold. First, to
ask you to kindly acknowledge receipt
of this letter and to give me your frank
opinion as to whether or not you have
been pleased with the establishment OF
the rooms (this opinion / should, with
your permission, like to use in canvassing
for subscribers. Second, whether you will
consent to use your influence to obtain
permanent subscribers and induce your
friends to visit the rooms and assist me
in establishing the Seamen's Institute as
permanent institution.
Most truly yours,
John b. Keatlng.
