of Isleboro, now of Brooklyn:
Paccini's LA Tosca," by the Aborn forces at
the Academy of Music last evening had
record house for attendance, every seat being
occupied and very many having standing room
only. A reason, doubtless, for the signal sue
cess at the close of the "Tosca" engagement
was the singing of Brooklyn girl, who has
had very little previous experience on the
stage, but whose beautiful voice carries great
weight in the cast. Earlier in the week Mrs.
Crosby had an equal success in "Boheme" as
Mimi, but last night she had better oppor-
tunity to show her talent and she carried the
house by storm with her dramatic voice and
fine method. especially in her rendition of the
"vissi d. arte" aria. She showed great promise
also in her acting from the time she appeared
until the curtain dropped on her leap to death.
Many Brooklyn friends were in the audience
and they feel assured that brilliant future is
inlstore for her.

handsome tribute to the ladies' who had pre-

benefits of such trip he said that something

lively estimated, that city furnished fully so
per cent. of the lime used in New York. He
advocated the forming of advertising leagues

President o. E. Frost spoke of the Belfast
Board of Trade, what it had done, what it was
doing and what it proposed to do, and, address,
ing the visitors said: "We appreciate the fact
that you have considered Belfast of such i'm
portance as to come out of your way to visit
us and shake hands. In behalf of the Belfast
board of trade we are glad that you are here
and we take pleasure in pointing out to you
some important things in this vicinity and the
importance of the board of trade as a fac
tor in civic, commercial and political life.
The world is growing smaller every day and
we need the help of every fellow who is living
only few miles away" No State in the
Union, said the speaker, ever led Maine in the
production of men, and boards of trade should
stand not only for the business growth of a
city and community but also for its moral and
