WILMINGTON.

The annual banquet of the VIII
mington chamber of commerce Tues
day evening was an event credita bic
in highest degree to the city and the
body. The dining room of the Orton
House was beautifully decorated for
the occasion and the course dinner
and the entertainment in general
were what were to have been expect
ed of a people who know so we'll
how to do genteel things. Mr.. J.
Allen Taylor, the president of the
chamber, was the presiding officer of
the evening and discharged the du-
ties of POSTMASTER in handsome
style. Our news columns have car
ried the story of the speeches. The

President Taylor reviewed most in
terestingly and encouragingly the
business conditions and prospects of
the city. The army and navy Off
GERS spoke entertainingly and instruc-
lively. So did Mayor Springer, Col
lector Keith and others. This, how
ever, is not an enumeration of speak
ers or of subjects. It is enough just
here to make passing reference to
the events of the evening" very de-
lightful one it was from any stand
1t is of Wilmin gton, it's people and
it's commercial consequence that we
would say a word. The city is unique
among our communities and one can
not visit it and mix with its popu-
lation and leave with other than the
most agreeable memories. The old
and the new are fascinatingly blend
ed there; the modern activity which
distin nguishes it has not effaced the
old courtesy. hospitality and gentility
for which the name of Wilmington
stands. Growings s Indeed it is. It's
commerce is increasing rapidly. Its
cotton receipts for February were
1866 bales against 5,106 bales
for February of last year and the
receipts from the 1st of September
last to the 1st inst were 454,S20
bales as against 297,045 for the cor
responding period Of the last cotton
year. The exports have increased in
like proportion. When the Cape
Fear has a thirty-foot channel from
Wilmington to the sea the city's COM
mercial Importance will be greatly
enlarged. To the accomplishment of
this object all North CaroliDians
should lend what aid they can. Our

Thomas Orchestra ~
Gives Brilliant Pro gram

A program that offered a wide ap-
peal TO lovers OF orchestral music OF
the brilliant, colorful. kind. was given
by Conductor Frederick stock and the
Thomas orchestra, Monday evening In
the Light Guard aymory. The Rus
sian. the Norwegian, the Italian. the
German were represented In a series
Of compositions peculiarly illuminative
OF the characteristics of the nation
portrayed and the composers genius.
One at least, was new TO local con-
cert-goers--an old Norwegian folksong
with variations by Grieg. the program
note stating that the composition was
played for the first time In Detroit.
and indeed was published only year
ago. A delightful overture "Liebes-
fruhling." by Georg Schumann was
the German number. VOLTS lovely Itai-
ian sercnade. Glassounoff's brilliant
concert waltz and Dvorak's Scherzo
Capriccioso and Tschaikovsky's won
derful Fifth symphony completed the
program.
The orchestra played with the
smoothness and refinement Of tone
that has become associated In the
minds Of music lovers with Mr.. Stock
and his organization. There is rarely
disappointment Of the mugical unities
from Mr. Stock who Is nothing II not
correct and dignined.
The noise of late Corners delayed
the program at the opening and was a
source Of annoyance to conductor,
players and audience until we'll on to
the third number.
The next concert OF the orchestral
associati ton series will he eiyen by the
Pittsburg orchestra. Jan. 8.

Harry Davenport and Phyllis Rankin

that holds the opera together con-
Germs a small statue of the Goddess

person has the faculty of depriving
him of some article of clothing when
he tells anything but the truth. A
plotting father and ardent wooer Of q
maiden In Normandy, place the stalue
In well. and here come the CIR. and
her lover, Johnny Macintosh, imper-
sonated By Harry Davenport. When
the two see their clothing disappear
ing piece by piece. they decide to tell
the truth. The situations are decid-
eddy funny and give both Davenport
and Miss Rankin an opportunity to
display their talents. Both possess
the faculty OF making their audiences
laugh, but neither has anything but
fair voices. Miss Raj TN Is the daugh-
ter of the American actor, Mckee

THE DETROIT.

Inimitable Francis Wilson delighted
q large audience In the Detroit opera
house Monday evening with Charles
Marlow's farce, when knights Were
Bold" keeping the house in q roar
from the moment he entered, until
the going down of the last curtain.
This farce was seen In Detroit last
season. and as laugh-producer, with
Wilson as the star performer, IT has
seldom been eQualed ON the stage OF
this city.
When knights Were Bold" Is q
satire on the chivalry OF the good old
days when barons held their sway and
gentleman was not considered worthy
or one OF the falr sex unless he had
ran through with his sword some hair
dozen or more knights. The farce
has to do with a dream In which the
head Of an English family. proud OK
its lineage. Is transported back some
700 years and finds himself In the cas-
tie OF his forefathers. Sir Guy de
We're, impersonated by Wilson, Is not
at all in sympathy with the methods
and beliefs of society OF the twelfth
century. and as he has horror OF the
good old days" the deeds of valor he
Is called upon to perform are not at
all to his liking.
The farce is IN three acts. and the
second. as described by the press
agent, Is "a scream from start to I'm
ish." Sir Guys duel with an insulted
knights is ludicrous and kept the audi
ence convulsed with laughter. The
whole play subserves the purpose for
which a farce Is intended, and also
gives the pleasure of an evenings en-
joyment of that prince Of entertain
ers, Wilson. OF course, the play with
out him would be of very little value,
but his art makes 1t decidedly worth
while.
While when knights Are Bold" has
for Its primary object entertainment,
1t still has a lesson for those who
believe that the world Is going to the
dogs. That the present time COM
pares favorably with the past Is plain
ly shown in the ridiculous encounter
between Sir Guy and Sir Bryan Bally-
more supposed to have taken place
in the twelfth century, where the Eff
fects of religious bigotry and intoler-
ance are brought out.
Mr.. Wilson has a capable company
supporting him, Miss Edna Bruins, as
the Lady Rowena, having beauty and
no mean ability as an actress to her
credit. The engagement will continue
until Wednesday evening, with a mat
inee Wednesday.
