Wire was fifth over Sorrel Jim by about
Ii nose. Time, 2.24.
Benny was faster than before IN the
third heat ana was in-the game from
the word and came along in second place
with the bay mare to the stretch. 1t was
a thrilling drive, but the local horse had
length to the good and the applause
and cheering were exciting. Just at this
minute the rain came down IN tor
rents and the horses were raced to the
barn and didn't come out again.
After half an hours wait the race was
postponed until O'Clock Thursday when
it is expected by the local people that

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PORTLAND THEATRE.

Manager Il. W. Dinkins of 1.-The Utop
ians, . when viii be seen at the Portland
theatre for one week commencing on
Friday evening, has been singularly
fortunate in securing artists for the clio
who are far above the average Witnessed
with the ordinary burlesque companies.
OF the burlesque much has been said
and written, but it must be seen to be
appreciated. Good music, comedy OF
the genuine sort, fun, wit, beauty gor
geous dresses and magnificent scenery
are the main features which have earned
the INCEST praise from theatrical critics
all over the country.
S The opening burlesque In Grand
Utopia. calls for is handsome ladies
in the character Of ''Pierrettes, " whose
new songs. -medleys, dances viii surely
be a revelation to the amusement loving
public.
The performances yesterday at McCul-
lum's theatre were witnessed by splendid
houses. The appreciation of all present
was emphatically demonstrated. The
ringing applause that follows the fall OF
the curtain after each act and continues
until after the recall, and the rapt at
tention that represents the intense inter
est in the story as the diabohcal plots
of Iago are consummated, and the love
of Othello for Desdemona, is transformed
to a sorrowfuI Ioathing, eliminating in
her tragic death, denotes supreme enjoy
ment and pleasure over the splendid
dramatic treat Nothing can be said ex-
cept in praise of Stephen Wright's pro-
travail of OthelIo. Maud Edna Hall as
Desdemona, and Genevieve Reynolds as
Amelia, present artistic portrayals.
The production is notably elegant in
appointment and cannot fail to prove q
delightful treat to everybody at least
inclined toward the artistic drama.
All THE GEM.
10 use theatrical phrase, the Ire
mont theatre company have caught on
with the theatre-goers Of Portland and
vicinity. This charming summer
theatre has been doing a fine business
since the advent of the new company
"Aristocraoy," Bronson Howard S de-
liahtfuI comedy, when presented by suof
a company Of players at Messrs. Gilmoul
and Roderiquiz have selected, could
not do otherwise. Mr.. Gilmour will be
remembered as the support of Julia
Marlowe when Barbara Fritchie' was
played in New York and Boston He
was also the principal in the Sowing
the Wind" company.
This week play VIII undoubtedly
pack the house to the doors judging by
the way the telephone orders come IN
for seats.
Last night there was a brilliant thea
tire party from the Ottawa house and
Cushing's island, and also a large party
from the Peaks Island house.
At the matinee there was party Of
young ladies from the city who were
chaperoned by some club ladies'.
1t viii be well to secure seats az
quickly as possible, not only for this
week but for any evening or matinee
during the engagement.

Washington, July 1.-THE director
of the mint states that there are &c.
62S,323 of fve-cent pieces and $685.
s02 of one-cent pieces outstanding.
This gives an idea of the enormous
number of these little coins necessary
to transact the business of the coun-
try. Since the coinage of these began
the total number that have been
coined is, of hve-cent pieces, $l7,991,-

While these coins are given as out
standing, it is impossible for the mint
bureau to estimate the number lost,

CROP STATISTICS.


Washington, July 11.--!reliminary
returns to the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture on the acre
age Of corn planted indicate an in
crease of about 100000 acres, or lis
per cent. over the acreage harvested
last year. Of the % states having
l,0OO,0OO acres or upwards in corn in
1899, all but Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Tennessee and Kansas show
an increased acreage, and the total de-
crease in the five states named is
less than 100000 acres. The increase
in acreage is, in the main, well dis
tributed, there being only ten states
and territories out of the As reporting
that have not larger acreage
planted than was harvested last year
The average conditions Of the grow
ing crop is sos as compared with s6.5
