The Brothers Byrne in the New Eight

The Brothers Byrne in the New Eight
Belle" at the Opera House.
Something out of the ordinary was
presented at the Howard Tuesday night
when the Brothers Byrne, supported by
Il company of clever comedians and
pantomimists, gave their spectacular pro-
duction THE New Eight Bells to q
farsized audience. 1t would be hard to
find any plot to the piece but the per-
Torrance was nevertheless very enter
tanning. 1t is n hodge podge of fun, in
which specialties by the Byrne troupe
of acrobats and by LePage, said to be
the worlds greatest Jumper, shone very
brightly. In fact. the feats of these peo-
pie were 'alone worth the price of ad-
mission" Special scenery added not a
little to the effectiveness of the perform
ance, the scene which represented a
steamship crossing the ocean being al
most realistic enough to induce an at
tack Of seasckness.

the sporting men in this vicinity will
bring forth their rolls Of greenbacks to
wager on the coming batrle between
Jeffres and Coroett. Betting would
have been brisker before this late hour
had 1t not been for the fact that the
admirers OF Corbett, feeling they would
secure better odds than 2 to / for their
money by holding back. have finally de-
cided to take those odds now. n so
are ready to back their opinion.
The bulk of the betting will surely be
carried on at the Hotel Metropole, whore
sporting men make tneir headquarters
while in town. George Considine and
Honest John" Kelly. who are stanch
admirers OF Corbett this time, will prob
ably be much sought after by the follow
ers OF Jeffres, Kelly and Consddlno
have announced that they will bet 5000
each on Corbett's chances. Naturally
