NEIL, BURGESS IN COUNTY FAIR"
 Cold Molasses wins by nose!" This is the exclamation which involuntarily comes from hundreds of throats at the close of the third act of 'The County Fair" in which Neil Burgess appears at the Hyperion tonight. This scene is one of the most realistic horse races ever seen on an American stage, and is the result of MT. Burgess own me- chanical genius It is a horse race in which four horses tear across the stage in their best style and it is to the as- sistance of the moving landscape that makes so notable a picture. The play is full of life. There is the County fair, the corn husking and race, all or which are good but it is the little bits of acting, the beautiful filling up, the per feet hinging~of all the different parts of the stage story that make it so very good to see and hear. MT. Burgess as Abigail Prue' was never so well suited in a part Here he has full play for his wonderful talents, and from the mo- ment he is first introduced as the sharp tongued old maid, and down through the many changes to the last tender scene when she puts her arms around the neck of the wonderful horse whose great run saved the farm. and kissed him, he is the favorite with the audi ence.

 The new edition of ''The Burgomas- ter" which will be presented at the Fly perion next Wednesday evening, Is much more elaborate and costly than was presented last season this espec- ially applies to the scenic embellish- n1ents which will require two sixty-foot baggage cars for transportation, and instead of the Chicago Worlds fair scene most marvelously realistic pam oramic view of the electrical display at the late Paris exposition will be seen. It requires three skilled electricians to manipulate this mechanical effect In which seventeen hundred incandescent lights will be displayed in color effect of every hue of the rainbow.
