Little Disorder.

Bricks and rocks thrown, a
few shots fired, but no casual
ties or wounds was the sum
total of untoward incidents con-
nected with the opening OF the
Manchester and Forest.Hill
lines yesterday. As a rule
there was good order, and the
many terrible things that some
have prognosticated did not
come to pass.
Cars were run on the Seven
Pines road also. AS a rule
there was nothing to complain
of here, beyond rock or two
that did little damage.

immediate suburbs presented a

dent occurred. Carl 2. Olsen, a seaman
on the old cup defender Columbia, and
cne OF the best men in the crew, was
washed from the bowsprit just before the

race, and was drowned. Two other men,

almost at the stem. cinging to the bob

given him the sloop dipped into another
great comber and he was not seen altar

Captain Miller. OF the Columbia. is Of
opinion that Olsen was struck by the
overhang of the craft as It came smash

was a, good swimmer, and tho fact that
he did not reappear after the yacht had
swept over him causes the belief that
he sank Immediately after being hit by

Of quite social event, and the incident
which followed the third act, when Cen

the title Of which is Polly Primrose"
Its scenes are laid in Georgetown, Just
beyond the city Of Washington. Tho
time Is during the Civil War, but there
ms no smell Of gunpowder and there are
no brass buttons.
HAS NO DARK CLOUDS.
The play is picture. without any dark
clouds of the war looming up in the
background to cast shadow over the
bright colors. There is not line nor a
scene to which either Southerner or
Northerner could object. 1t Is love
story. and wherever 1t may be played. It
will demonstrate that "all the world
loves a lover and that AL is falr IN
love and war"
In its production not detail Is lacking
to make 1t perfect. The ladies' costumes
seem to have been resurrected from some
grandmother's trunk. while the same re-
gard for the period is shown in the male
attire. Every piece of furniture. every
/, picture hung upon the walls, Is in keep
! ing with the scene. aud there Is nothing
to destroy the Illusion that the spectator
is in Primrose Mansion, GEORGETOWN. and
that General Lees army Is on the other
side of the Potomac River, awaiting the
1 opportunity to march into Washington
and capture the city.
