interest to the sale, as the

Maginnis Tells His Story.

P. Maginnis, whom officer Max P.
Fisher claims to have prevented from
registering the other day, states that
he did not try to register, but only
went to the Clerks Office to find out
whether or not he could do so, and
that before he had declared his inten-
ton of registering Fisher stepped up
and told him he could not do So
Deputy County Clerk Pfund said yes
terday that he did not know whether
Maginnis tried to register or not, as
there were a number of men there
waiting to register. He heard Fisher
tell Maginnis, however, that his rec
ords showed he had not been restored
to citizenship, and that he did not
want to see him (Maginnis) do any
thing that would get him into trouble.
and had therefore warned him.

On the three nights of the fair that
remain there will be some additlonal
amusement features that will cost the
Citizens State Fair Club nothing. Jonn
Williams, the well-known circus ana
vaudeville man, has consented to taVol
the management with some of his own
actors now performing at Seventh
street, near K. The so-called Aus
tralian wonders will play at the Pa
vilion. They are known as the Sllvlnas,
and the act they will put on is known
as an acrobatic pyramid. Mr.. Wllllams
says the act has never before been seen
in the United States. The actors are
very clever, and their act is original
and remarkable.
They are costumed in very costly
suits, and there are two ladies and two
gentlemen in the troupe. They per
form brilliant head stands" balancing
feats, leaps, tumbling and thrown SOM
ersaults from shoulder to shoulder IN
a bewildering yet thrilling manner
They have been playing at the Or

tralians. They come to the Pavilion
in a hack all dressed for their act and
carry costly stage paraphernalla tha1

FORESTERS' EVENTS.
The Foresters have not yet arranged
every detail of their show, but they
will have a large turnout and hne
musical and general program in addi-
tion to the regular features.
Among the pleasant social features
of the fair is a dinner to be given by
President A. B. Spreckels to the mem
bers of the Citizens State Fair Club
at the Sutter Club at 7:30 p. m. to-
morrow. There has been such hearty
work by the citizens organization and
Mr.. Spreckels has so highly apprecl-
ated the able work of the members OF
the club. that he decided to show his
personal good feeling in some way, SO
he has invited the members of the cltl-
zens organization to become his guests

The State Fair Directors last night
took decisive action in the matter OF
the protested special race by CONNER
cial Travellers horses, which took place
a few DAYS ago and which was won by
II. A. Bells alleged Farmers Girl.
1t was known at the track on the day
of the race that Farmers Girl was
''ringer'-that the black animal was
formerly known in trotting circles as
Pansy. and that her natural color was
bay or chestnut. but the general sup
position was that she was rung in as

lovers of the unhappy maid of Shakes
peare's creation. But this is not to
say that her work was disappointing.
She was a far better Ophelia than many
we have seen supporting in troupes OF
exceeding pretension. Her reading was
correct, her action true, her interpreta-
tion just She is too faithful in her
profession to badly do or slight any
thing she undertakes. Simply, how
ever, she is too robust, healthy ana
practical an Ophelia. But II she
trained and studied for such work we
have faith that she would read ana
fill such a role with high credit. Mr..
Nannary, whom we have had occasion
to rebuke for slovenly work and lack
of repose and ease, cancelled the DEBT
as Horatio, making the character very
nearly what it should be. For once ne
lived the part and of all the support
was most identified with the, character
| assumed, unless we except Mr.. Bel
| mour's First Grave Digger, which was
quite near ideal, as close an approach
to the best Grave Digger the stage has
ever seen, the lamented William Barry
Scarce less worthy was his Polonlus, Tor
the exigencies of the company and the
play required considerable doubling or
parts, and not one was better effected
than that of Mr. McGinn, who was the
Ghost and Claudius; in the first SUI
perior to many, in the latter, natural
and satisfying Miss Villiers assumed
the Queens part well. 1t is the best
work she has, done here. 1t was quite
without fault, very nearly ideal. Prob
ably none better know than Mr.. Will
r6 hat ho nj of
tes. His conception of the role sub
stituted violent defamation for mani
festation of grief, ebullitions of anger
righteous and profound resolution to
avenge. Capable and accomplished in
society plays and melodrama, as Laer-
tes he was a distinct failure. Mr.. Ed
ridges Marcellus was a quite credit
able assumption, evidencing ability to
take the role at the full after time.
For it must be understood that with
the exception of Mr.. Vinton and Miss
Villiers land Mr. Belmour who has ap-
peared in the early days of California
as second to Barry, none of the peo-
pie have been trained in such work as
they undertook last night; indeed, II
was, we believe, but the third time they
have attempted Hamlet" But aside
from all this the great drama was
given with such sincerity, care and gen.
eral satisfaction, that the company is
to be congratulated upon it's achieve
ment, one full of meaning and promis-
ing great good for the stage. 1t is,
therefore, pleasure to commend such
work and approve such company OF
faithful, intelligent and courageous
players. Tonight 1.-THE New Mag
