eral ladies, were-present and consider
able enthusiasm was manifested by all
in the object of the meeting. Interest
ing speeches were made by several par
ties and the names, "Caledonian Soci-
ety." "Waverly Society" and Thistle
Society" were suggested for the new

GRAND OPERA HOUSEETo-day. mat
inee and night, The Great Train Rob-
berry. last half OF week, Have Q Seen
oPERA HoUsE-saturday night. odette
Tyler In .Phroso."
The Great Train Robbery" was pre-
scented at the Grand last night to an
audience which fairly went wild yer
the timely arrival of the United States
regulars, the antics of the big bear,
the colossal fiction of the old soldier,
and the many thrilling scenes and in
cidents in which the play abounds.
The specialties were excellently rem
dered and literally applauded. The
engagement will close with matinee
and night performances to-day.
The widespread popularity of
s.Phroso" as a book is we'll known and
it has, according to the author, An
thony Hope, brought him more con
CALCULATIONS for artistic finish than
any of his other works. In the dra-
matization OF "Phroso," the stage
adapters have chung very closely to
the book narrative. AS is the case in
many dramatizations, none of its in
terest has been lost in fitting Hopes
story to stage purposes. On the con-
trary, it is said the thrilling situations
are intensified and the subtle weird
ness of the story is made to stand out
with great potency. The play enjoyed
a long and highly successful run at
the Empire Theater last season, and
Charles Frohman in putting it out this
year has given it every advantage in
cast as we'll as in stage environment.
Odette Tyler plays the title role, and
it is said she finds it the most con-
genial part she has e undertaken.
Mr.. Frohman's company will appear at
the Opera House on Saturday for an
engagement of one night.
Who has found a cure for the
"blues?" All the resources of science
and the entire range of the pharma-
copaeia have failed to provide a rem
edy. But if there are any people in
this city who are subject to attacks of
melancholy, they may proceed to lift
up their voices in a glad hosanna of
thankfulness that at last an infallible
panacea has been found which never
fails to Danish dull care, and this
sovereign specific is that merry
melange of wit, fun, melody and song
the bright and diverting farce comedy,
Have You Seen Smith, which will
be seen in all its effulgent complete
ness on the road this season. Have
You Seen Smith" has enjoyed the
greatest universal popularity e ac-
corded to a farce comedy in one sea-
son. 1t was the rage throughout the
part of the country it was played in
last year. In this new exposition of
ebullient humor there will be mar
shalled an unusually large company.
Have You Seen Smith" opens at the
Grand Thursday night.
