Old Kentucky" remains as one OF the
best Instances OF sensational play writ
ing and excellent stage management
that the American stage affords. The
handling Of the people Is simply lnim-

pretty well up to the standard, although
perhaps hardly as strong as the one
that originally rendered the play here.

PEoLsE's POPULAR PARK.
GREAT ATTRACTIONS BOOKED
FOR S1ELLPOT THIS WEEK,
BEGINNING TONIGHT.

GREAT ATTRACTIONS BOOKED
FOR SHELLPOT THIS WEEK,
BEGINNING TONIGHT.
shellpot Park continues to be the
popular park with the people in this
city, and in a determination to keep
it the popular park the management
has this season offered unusual at
and will continue to improve
them from time to time. Yesterday af
ternoon and evening concerts were
given by the First Regiment Band, of
this city, and those who desire to hear
good music should not miss these con-
certs. While the band has long been
known for its excellent playing, both
in Wilmington and other places where
it has visited, It has made marked inn
proyement in its playing this season,
and is now playing concert music with
the same excellent effect that has made
it noted as a band which was unsur-
passed for march music.
On account Of Fourth of July occur
ring in this week the manage
ment has booked the best show which
has yet appeared 1t is headed by the
Magician Powell, who appeared at the
Opera House here some years ago, and
astonished the audience which was
present by doing tricks which had
never been performed here before, ana
which the great magicians who had
performed here previous to that time
had not attempted. It is safe to say
that no better magician has ever ap-
peared in this city than Powell, and
when he Is seen the public will learn
to appreciate him as much, II not more,
than others who have appeared here
There is no discount on Powell The
magician will not be the only attraction
Of note which is presented. Herr Fial-
kowski, the noted animal imitator, will
also appear, and Miss Alice Sbalon and
her miniature theatre and Keusels Dos
Circus will be among the other attrac-
tions. This is decidedly the largest
and best bill which has been presented
this season, and this is saying much
for there have been a number OF excel
lent attractions presented. No pleas
anter place will be found to spend {
day or an evening during thu
week than Shellpot Park. Fourth o
July will be a great day at the park
and the details of the celebration viii
be announced later
