"PINAFORE" A SUCCESS.

The presentation of Gilbert and
Sullivan's tuneful opera, Pinafore, at
the Barre opera house, Tuesday even
ing, was a decided success in every re-
spect but one--the audience was too
small. No doubt the rain. which be-
gan falling in the afternoon and con-
tinued throughout the evening &C
counted largely for the fact, but
those who did attend, however, show
ed their appreciation by frequent APP
plause.
We are all familiar with the plot of
the opera, which need not be rehears
ed here. DR.. f. NJ. Lynde, to whom
was entrusted the part of Sir Joseph
Porter, did it to perfection. Only
one criticism can be made on his in
depreciation DR.. Lynde is we'll
known reader of French Canadian
dialect stories, and when speaking
lines attributed to an English lord a
suggestion of his we'll known talent
crept in that seemed rather incon
gruous. In his singing, however, it
was not noticeable and his drawing,
foppish tones were most amusing.
L. r. Howard as Ralph Rackstraw
made hit. He has splendid voice
and used it to advantage, both in his
SOLOS anu III MS uueuS Will Mis- Mai
tin.
Frank r. Goss of Montpelier was an
ideal Dick Deadeye and kept the
audience in good humor throughout
the evening.
Edmund Mitchell as Capt. Corcoran
was somewhat disappointing. He
did not sing with his accustomed vim
and fullness of voice.
Mrc Arth ur Martin Jnganblnp
the Captains daughter, was in fine
voice, and all her solos were loudly
applauded.
Mrs. H. G.. Woodruff as Little But
tercup proved very amusing especial
ly in the second act. She sang we'll
and displayed considerable histrionic
talent.
Miss Katherine Gilbert of Montpe-
lier made the most of the small part
of Hebe Miss Gilbert, as she always
does, sang charmingly.
Mr.. G. R. Scott as the marine, al
though he had not line to say in
the opera, convulsed the audience by
his funny stage business.
The chorus sang well and danced
we'll. The most pleasing numbers
of the first act were 1.-The Night
ingale's Song" cover the Bright
Blue Sea, 1--WE Sail the Ocean
Blue, When 1 Was Lad" and
Refrain, Audacious Tar" of the
second, "Things Are Seldom What
They SEEM" 1.-THE Bell Trio"
Carefully on Tip-toe Stealing, "
" He Is Englishman, and /" Fare
we'll, My Own"
The scenery was pretty and effec-
tive The property moon, however,
was failure. After trying in vain
to assert itself, it at last suffered a
total eclipse.
During the first act George Inglis
danced a genuine sailors hornpipe,
which W as encored.
After the curtain had fallen on the
first act, it arose again, Immediately,
and the entire company, with small
American flags in their hands, sang
the first verse of America.
Taken all in all the production was
a good one and is worthy crowd
ed house tonight.

PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT.

One of the pleasant social events of
the season was held on Thursday
evening at the residence of L. B.
Huntington on School street, when
Miss Olive b. Stout entertained a
party of forty of her lady and gentle
man friends. The rooms were very
prettily decorated with flowers, the
novel feature about the decorations
being that the flowers used were Gull
tivated and grown by the hostess at
Camp Lookout on the borders of Ber-
lin pond. About seven o'clock de-
lectable supper was served after
which the evening was spent i'll play
ing the new and fascinating game of
military euchre.
There were ten forts" garrisoned by
players and each was prettily dec
Grated by placing a United States
flag on one corner and pennant of
some college, bearing the initial letter
of the college, on the corner diagonal
ly opposite, both flags being connect
ed with garlands of ribbon.
At the start, the players played
four hands and the two winning the
highest number of points were pre-
sented with miniature flags, which
were placed in the garlands. The
players making the lowest record
moved to another table, and so on I'M
til the honors of the game rested be-
TWEEN the four players VINO had won
the largest number of flags during
the evening These four then played
four hands and the two making the
highest score were declared the
winners. On this occasion the honors
were carried off by Mrs. @. e. Ohan-
dler and Mrs. f. II. Puffer.
The evening was one of continuous
enjoyment and the guests concurred
in the opinion that Miss Stout is one
of the most charming..of hostesses.

GOING UP FAST.

:, Chicago, Sept. 12.-The price of
coke in Chicago has jumped up this
week to the unprecedented figures of
SIP and $13 ton. One consequence
of the advance is that small foundries
are threatened with ruin, or at least
with being forced to close down until
prices sha II drop.
Even at this advanced price, how
ever, all orders cannot be supplied
This is due to the same cause that ex.
plains, in part. the jump IN price,
the car famine that has existed for
some time
Dealers say the railroads are divert
ing cars which otherwise would be
used for coal to the meat, produce,
and grain traffic, which is exceeding.
ly heavy and which pays better than
hauling fuel.

SECOND RUNAWAY.

The double team of Levi Bailey, who
carries the school children on the Berlin
Pond road to and from school, INDUCED
in a mad runaway from the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad station up Main
street until finally gotten under control on
Clay hill,
This is the second time this team has
run away and for the same cause and over
the same course. The horses became
frightened at the cars and taking the bits
in their teeth went up the street at ter
rife rate.
AS the team struck that part of Main
street which is ditched on both sides, on
lockers expected to see smashup as the
highway was narrow and several teams
were travelling it, But Mr.. Bailey show
ed good nerve and coolly guided the run

The great improvement in the con-
dition Of our streets lately Is noticed
by every pedestrian in the city. For
the last month Mr.. Silyestern has
exerted extra efforts 70 put the Inn
portant streets Of the city In : first
class condition, this he has we'll done,
and In riding over many other streets
in different parts Of the city, We find
that ne has been there with his plows
and scrapers giving them the proper
work and drainage needed. With the
small force the city allows Mr.. silves-
tin we think he is doing al any man
can do with the streets and deserves
the thanks and not the cuts that some
citizens see proper through some cause
to give him, when an examination
would prove they were undeseryed.
