Col. O. \. Blackington of this city,
who is one of the best known fox
hunters in Kennebec county, was out
for the first time of the season Tues
day, not so much for the purpose of
getting q fox as to work out his hound
and get her hardened down for the
seasons hunting. as fox skins are not
vet any good for market purposes.
The dog drove one fox to him and he
killed it but as it was pretty ragged
did not bring it home. The Colonel
thinks that indications for good fox
hunting this fall are favorable.

1.-THE Pit"

The Helen Grayce Company scored
another success last evening at the
opera house in its presentation of the
well known play, THE Pit The
house was completely filled and it is
safe wager that every one was pleas
ed with the offering.
AS the name indicates, THE Pit"
deals with the Chicago Wheat Pit, ana,
as might be expected. the play is one
that demands some first-class talent
n the way OF emotional acting. and
this demand was splenddly met py the
entire company.
The Pit" is no ordinary play and
in the Judgment of one who witnesse
it for the first time it belongs in the
lass of The Lion and the Mouse" III
The Third Degree" in being one of
the newer plays that is not to be soon
forgotten And it also resembles these
plays in that the beautiful love story
that runs through it is hardly subor-
dinate or less worth remembering
than the economic and psychological
problems that are set forth. In other
words, The PITT is play that is in
| tended to teach as well as to entertain
| and the only thing necessary to MAKE
! it a delight to witness is capable
| company And it only remains to be
added that the Helen Grayce Com
pany proved itself such company las
night. as it has on previous evenings
All of the company was strong, bu
the work of Rogers Barker, as "Curti!

was very pleasing indeed. while Mis-
