PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.
Wilbur Opera Company Gives an Enjoyable Per-
Torrance of The RoJal Mdiy."

A large audience greeted the Wilbur
Opera company last night when the
evening performances for. the third
week OF the season began. The pro-
gram has been heightened and the COM
pany still continues to give much
pleasure to the many who witness its
performances. Genee's three-act comic
opera. The Royal MILDLY" was given
very agreeable presentation. though
IL must be stated that the introduction
OF rag-time music and the accentuation
of the negro element causes the thread
of the opera to be almost lost sight OF
at the close OF the second act. The
Royal MILDLY is the lightest of any of
the operas offered by the company and
its sparkling merriment. its pleasant
and tuneful choruses receive careful
and intelligent presentation by every
member of the cast. The principals dc
excellent work and are heard To better
advantage than in some other operas
they have essayed. The opera received
good deal of attention from the audi
ence. This is noticeable because the
audiences at some OF the performances
during the past two weeks seemed 10
ne much more generous in their ap-
proval of the Interruptions than of the
regular part OF the program. The very
good work OF the chorus on more thI,
one occasion last night called forth
loud and genuine applause.
There are a number OF new features
including an illustrated song sheet, a
trick bicyclist and an Amazoniap
march. The colored light effects and
the handsome new costumes OF the la.
dies make the march a very attractive
feature. Mr.. Lamar's songs continue
TO be very popular and Anna Laugh.
Inns songs and limitations had the usua;
number OF encores. The entertainment
comes TO an end with the living pie
lures.
The Royal MILDLY" will be given un-
til Thursday evening when "Boccaccio''
viii he given for the remainder of the
week.

The designer of the battleship Ore

The designer Of the battleship Ore
gon predicts that within few years
steel ships 1000 feet long will be built
for the Pacific trade. But he says the
advance will be gained by gradual in
creases, because it will take time to
calculate the effect OF strain on hulls-
A long hull rests variously on the series
Of waves, and there is also side roll,
all of which makes It difficult TO secure
the right rigidity without practic Il TX
periments- The advantage OF long
ships is the greater carrying capacity
and the fact that the cost Of the crew
Is no more than on a smaller vessel.
