BEAUTIFUL ZEPHRA. Zephra, in all its
wealth of scenic splendor and magnifcence,
will be presented at the Belfast Opera
House for the benefit of the Belfast Improv-
ment Society for the first time this, Thurs
day, evening, and judging from the interest
and enthusiasm manifested it promises to
eclipse all previous efforts in the entertain
ment line in Belfast. About two hundred
of our popular and talented young people
have been in active rehearsal for the past
two weeks, and it is needless to say that
they are one and all doing excellent work.
Zephra is truly the peer of all amateur en-
tertainments, and must be witnessed to be
appreciated. Beautiful scenery, elegant
costumes, merry dances, sparkling music,
dazzling calcium and mechanical effects,
the whole dream of fairy land once seen
never to be forgotten The advance sale of
seats opened yesterday, Oct. 9th, at A. NJ.
at Mixers store. Prices 30 and 80 cents, with
few choice seats at rs The matinee prices

cursion from Rockand by those who parti-
cipated in Zephra will be one of the pleas
ing features of the coming Zephra Carnival.
Watch for the Zebra souvenir.

entrance is changed to the westerly corner,
and the whole front, except the width OF
. the door, is occupied by a single light OF
plate glass, u feet byS. This window affords
a perfect place for displaying goods. The
floor is handsomely carpeted and a polished
! brass rail extends around the space inside
When the curtain went up Tuesday after,
noon, the first time since the renovation
those on the street saw as handsome dis
play of dry goods, dress goods, etc., as was
ever seen in Belfast. 1t was large exhibit
of elegant materials, most artistically arrang
, ed. The best effects, however, were seer
when darkness came and the electric lights
were turned on. There are 8 incandescent
lamps above the window, and others neal
