SWAY Down East"

Although there have been a number of
rural melodramas presented at the local
Opera house. this season. Way Down
East" was received by a large audience,
last evening. This play is always popu-
lar as its excellent plot, its high moral
character and extreme naturalness must
of necessity make it. 1t has now become
too well known to theatregoers through
out the country to require description
at this time, and the mere statement that
the entire audience appeared much pleas
ed with the entertainment is sufficient.
Miss Flora Fairchild assumed the part
of Anna Moore and was extremely pleas
ing throughout the four acts. The part
permits of an illustration of extreme emo
tion, and Miss Fairchid seemed to live
in her work. Mr.. Drew. who took the
part of David Bartlett, the squire's son,
assisted Miss Flirchild very much In
carrying the play through in most excel
lent manner.

after he had played with the dogs until

afterwards Unite1 States Marshal for the
Western District; Robert NJ. Douglas,
now associate justice OF the Supreme
Court; his brother, Stephen a. Douglas,
Joseph w. Holden. then speaker of the
House Of Representatives; J. c. L. Har-
ris and DR.. Raines, made up the hunters
with two packs Of dogs of David Settle
and Doctor Raines. Around the store for
four miles square was land. most of
which had been cultivated and had been
lying out and had grown UP in broom
sage. About the center Of this four-1nle
space was a. high hill that overlooked the
whole country for nnSNy miles each way.
The view OF the Valley OF the Dan River
was very fine. Tho fox had gotten up an
hour before daylight and had been ira
vcrsing the fields around the hill for two
hours. The music OF the dogs had aroused
the neighborilood and probably fity peo-
ple-men and women on horse back
We're standing on the hlii listening and
watching the dogs. Colonel David NAL
10y joined the hunters at the store and
told Of a number Of races that had re-
ming the fox two or three hours he had
invariably slipped away from Inc dogs
at a certain place. Colonel Settle sug-
gested that some person be sent to this
place and remain there and keep quiet
and watch the fox and find out what be-
came of him. This suggestion was car
ried out. The fox continued his run for
two hours Or moro and was finally lost
by the dogs at the same place as thereto-
fore. The whole company then under
Isad OF Colonel NIalloy, rode to this place.

hausted their wits and Gid not find the
fox. Finally q low slanting tree was
pointed out and about ten feet from the
top OF this tree was the trunk OF an
other tree Which had been broken Off
about fifty feet from the ground and
which had many splinters at the top and
into which big pile of leaves had blown
and settled. The fox had gone up the
to the broken trunk and had lain down
in the bed Of leaves and was completely
hidden from view, and the distance from
the slantins tree was such that no one
thought of the fox jumping from one to
tho other. Reynard was caught with
out being hurt and was carried to the
home of Judge Settle and kept until he
was thoroughly rested and was turned
loose one night an hour ahead CT the dogs
