ton B. Parker spoke to an audience of
about eighteen hundred people at the
Coliseum last night. The meeting was

clared, is in lowering the tariff wall and
this he doubted il the Republican party
would do ii continued in power another

Harbor among the summer colony. The
stage will be set to represent the lawn
of a wealthy cottager on a summer even
ing, beautifully decorated with colored
lights, fancy lanterns, flags, parasols,
etc. while the guests are seated at re-
freshment tables or strolling about the
grounds.
The whole affair is in the nature OF
musical comedy although there is no de-
cided plot. The songs, dances, choruses
and other speciaties are contributed by
the guests. while the comedy is furni-
shed BY six colored walters. Some
charming song and dance numbers by
double quartetts and sextettes will be
given, some being taken from the big
city comedies, some being originated by
the directors.
The entertainment has been given in
cities like Portland. Ne, Newport and
Woodsocket, 4. l., New London. Hart
ford and New Haven. Conn, and Albany
y Y, and will be the biggest, brightest
and best local entertainment ever given /
in Barre. Remember the date and ar
