THE PIRATES OF pENzANcE.
Belfast Amateurs Score Another Success in
Opera.

Belfast Amateurs Score Another Success in
Opera.
Gilbert and Sullfvan's Opera the Pirates
OF Romance was presented at the Belfast
opera House Thursday and Friday even
lngs, May End and Sd, under the auspices of
the Belfast Band. 1t was a purely local
production. The cast comprised many of
our best singers, the excellent orchestra.
led by F. j. Rigby, was composed of mem
bers of the band, and even the scenery was
in part the work of local amateur, Mr.. W.
j. Clifford. The cast included those who
were in Pinafore last season, with the addi-
tlon OF Mr.. E. 0. Thorndike, and the lead
ing parts were in the same capable hands.
While we do not think the opera as a whole
is as pleasing as Pinafore many of the fea-
lures Of this presentation were fine. Mr..
and Mrs. E. S. Pitcher and Mr.. Emery F,
White acted with spirit and sang delight
fully, and their trio was an al tistic triumph.
Mrs. r. Z. Frost was in fine voice and acted
her part to perfection, and Mr. B. l.. Davis
left nothing to be desired in his rendition of
the part OF the pirate lieutenant. The
police, headed by their sergeant, E. O.
Ihorndike, made hit and were encored,
the pirates were sufficiently piratical in ap-
pearance, and the young ladies of the
chorus We're tuneful and tastefully attired.
Altogether the presentation was a decided
success. The cast was as follows:
Richard, Pirate Chief, E.S. Pitcher
nalauei, nanan MS Lieutenant, B. L. Davis
Frederic, Pirate Apprentice Emery F. White
Ma]or-Eeneral Stanley, of the British Army.
Edward, Sergeant of Police, T. @. Thorndike

The company went to Camden Monday
and presented the opera that evening in the
Camden Opera House before good sized
audience. They made the trip to and from
Camden by the steamer Castilfe, accompa
med by large number of excursionistS.
The Camden correspondent of the Bangor
Daily News says OF the opera:
The entertainment was one of the best
ever given by amateurs in Camden. The
costumes We're fine, the singing excellent
and the entire entertainment was first class
IN every respect.

Zephra in Halifax, N. S.
is Zephra like 2"

''What is Zephra like?'
This is the question asked to-day of those
who were present at the first production of
evening, and the responses were, ssit's
great, sits immense" it's Splendid" or
Something similar there were no two opin-
ions every body was charmed and delighted,
and felt they had witnessed one of the best
entertainments ever given in Halifax, even
if amateurs were the performers.
Zephra differs in style from any ameteur
pr oduction ever given here, as instead of
bel ng combination of various dances, it is
a musical extravaganza, with W ell defined
plot, or in other words, it is an opera, with
all the spectacular features of a big scenic
production. 1t was in every respect treat
for our theatre gOers, and there was only one
complaint, there was enough for two shows.

ice went out of Rangely lake May 2nd,
which is several days earlier than usu-
al. The fishermen are fairly swarming

factory from a defective wire, accord
ing to the best belief, and burned for
nearly 10 hours. In that time proper
tv damage estimated from SIC, 100000 to
ST. 200, 900 was caused. According to
the city map 13O blocks were burned,
many of them in the heart of the bust
ness and residence section. The esti-
mate of houses to the block is 10, hence

sell ice at profit at IA 1-2 cents per 100
pounds. -. The United Steamship Com
pany of Copenhagen has ordered six
new steamers of 10000 tons each, for
