THE large audience that gathered
to see Robert Downing last night was
more than pleased with the perfor-
nance. The idea of putting parts of
three plays on the stage was novel
one and resulted in giving much pleas
ure to those present. Each of the Sc
| lections was better than the last and
everyone went away satisfied with
the entertainment afforded.

stitched fly at each side OF the opening
The jacket is of the plain material,
the plaid forming the inside, and being
used upon cuffs. lapels and pockets.
Jacket dips slightly in the front. and is
quite short in the back. The value OF
the box sleeve in Il bicycle costume is
especially observed. since Il does away
with gathers in which the dust may set
tie. The only ornamentation on this
costume is the stitching about the lap
ped seams, and the three horn buttons
which are seen on the left side. With
little ingenuity the purchaser of this
pattersn, which is published exclusively
by Harper's BaZar, where the costume
appears. may vary il so as to present
cutie different appearance from that
of the present Illustration. The skirt
may. for instance. be made OF plain red
and trimmed with u deep plaid fold at
the bottom. or the length of the jacket
may be varied TO suit individual taste.
To make this costume. as shown in IL
lustratlou, for person OF medium size,
1t will require ~. yards OF double
faced material, 81 inches wide.

1t Is astonishing how much the out
lines of solfing, bicycle and outing
dresses change each year. The differ
encc is so great that the new effect OF
this seasons costumes will be immed-
ately observed, and Yet there is little
change in the general description. A
jacket and skirt still comprise the cos
tune for the wheel: but the shape and
length OF these garments are materially
altered. The tendency OF the skirt is
toward increased length and decreased
width. The doublefaced plaids are
the favorite materials employed both
for warmth and for beauty. They come
in very brilliant colorings. with plain
sides of brilliant blues and reds and
ruddy browns. grays and light tans.
The materials out OF which the original
of our present model was formed was
a Sandrirgham red on one side. with Il
reverse in which white, blue and green
played large part. The skirt is OF
the plaid. and is in three pieces, the
front, and two side breadths which
meet under Il very slight pleat in the
centre of the back. where narrow straps
ornament and hold the pleats together.

SURVEY PROGRESSING.

Reports received at the headquarters
of the Grand Rapids & Bedding electric
road in Grand Rapids, from its staff OF
surveyors, indicate that the survey is
progressing as rapidly as possible.
The party is now working between
Bostwick lake and Grattan Center and
is making rapid progress. 1t is ex-
pected that the completion Of the sur
veyor's estimates will be ready in a
little over a week, when work will be
begun on the second route. The pres
ent plan of the management contem-
plates two, and probably three surveys
in order to fully ascertain the most
available and practicable route. The
company will then issue a prospectus
and boom the affair to a rapid COM
