AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Ancient Stage Carpenter and His Trap
Doors for "The Lady of the Slipper"

DOOIS TOT Inc Lduy VI thS SiAPPNA'
When Charles Dillingham; set about
the preparations for the state produc-
ton of "The Lady of the Slipper" he
was confronted with the necessity OF
engaging a stage carpenter who knew
how TO build traps" Traps are compli-
ca ted devices by means of which in the
old DAYS Of the Drury Lane pantomimes
and the Henderson's extravaganzas, spir'
its, devils, harlequins and columbines
were shot through the floor into the air
with startling suddenness, or just as
mvstically were suddenly removed from
the public view when their bit of foolery
was finished.
The traps through which they appear
are technically known as "star traps
and through which they vanish "vam-
pires." This Technology is as old as
the history of pantomime.
In "The Lady of the Slipper both
star and vampire traps are required and
Mr. Dillingham;, to his establishment,
found that in the present generation OF
stage carpenters there were none in New
York who knew how to build or operate
that sort of a trap.
authors of "The Lady of the Slipper
who served a long and strenuous APP
premiership at the old Boston museum
and Boston theatre in the palmy days
of "Humpty Dumpty" and "The Black
Crook" took the matter in hand.
From tie secluded farm near Scituate,
Mass. he produced an ancient answer
ing to the name of Joe Mcdonald, who
had been principal carpenter at the old
museum before the days of the Civil
war.
Mcdonald had retired 20 years ago
to the peace of pipe, garden and grand
children. He emerged to meet the sit
uation with much JOY and some hauteur,
this latter to the youthful ineompetents
to whom he had to give kindergarten les
sons in the matter of trap construction.
It was a very nice little vacation in the
metropolis and nice little triumph for
the superannuated carpenter, and Mr..
Dillingham; got his traps.-Adv.

Lyndonville, Aug 3l-Fire destroyed
barn on one OF I. n. Wallis farms near
Lyndon Saturday evening. 1t contained
ten tons of new hay and a quantity OF

building was torn off The loss at that
time was less than S25.
