Gle. Busha's horse created futter
of excitement at the Maine Central
station. Wednesday forenoon, by fall
ing down while asleep, and breaking
the shaft of the jigger wagon to which
he was attached. The horse is one of
the oldest truck horses in active life in
the city, having an estimated period
of existence of something like %
years, and is in the habit of passing
his idle hours in slumher, wherever he
happens to be. Yesterday he was in
dulging in one of these maps, or he
may have been affected by that tired
feeling for which sarsapari;la is taken,
but whatever was the cause, the eff
feet was that he laid down with sud-
denness that robbed it of all detail. He
was not at all disturbed by the fall,
and in fact was so thoroughly con-
tented to remain in a recumbent
position that it took some time to get
him to try to regain his feet.

AMUSE MENTS,
What "ouincy Adams SAWYER Did


Did you ever court country girl?
Did you ever sing in a country church
choir? Did you ever go to husking
bee? Did you ever attend a town
meeting? Quincy Adams Sawyer, a
young lawyer from Boston did. and
that is what the play called Quincy
Adams Sawyer" to be deliberately pro-
duced here at the Opera House tomor-
row evening is about. The popular
New England novel of the same name
told about these happenings. but IL
is said they are depicted even more
wildly and interestingly i'm play form.
All who have ever been farmer BOYS
and girls should see this beautiful New
England play, for it will revive pleas
ant recollections. The city bred should
see it to realize what they missed
The New York audiences appreciated
this fact for five weeks and packed
the immense Academy of Music at ev-
cry performance. During the recent
engagement of three weeks at the Bos-
ton Theatre the standing Room Only
sign had to be displayed every night.
