MUSIC AND DRAMA. Kallieriue Holier. Both of yesterday’s performances by the Rober company at the Portland The atre drew very large audiences, and those present were most pleasantly en tertained. Little Alice McNeil ap peared as Pert at, the matinee, and showed herself to be an unusuallj|brlght child actress, the best seen in Portland in many years. She is very natural and graceful and won the hearts of all by her clever work. In the evening the company gave a cap itul performance of “East Lynne” and easily proved their superiority over any repertoire company that has ever played here. Miss Rober’s Lady Isabel was a very finished piece of acting and won deserved applai se. Miss Howell intro duced some new songs, rendering her portion of the entertainment eveu more attractive thereby. If arrangements that are now under way result favorably, a local specialty will be introduced at the ruatiuee and evening performances on Saturday. The two performances today are fcr Miss Rober’s benefit. She has long been a great favorite in this city and her present engagement has added largely to her popularity. A play in which Miss Rober has never before ap peared in this city will be presented at both performances, Bulwer’s “The Lady of Lyons,” with the star as Paulie. The capacity of the house will surely be test ed both afternoon and evening. The per formances of tomorrow close the engage ment. “Kathleen Mavourneeu” will be played in the afternoon and “Thu Cleui encoau Case" in the evening. Return of Pauline Hall. Since the performance of “Dorcas” re cently given at the Portland Theatre by Pauline Hall and her company,Miss Hall Lno nrlrlo.l .. % . cxm fnatn.o *■ U „ «- 1. _ _ .. I ready earned for bur the sobriquet of “The Patriotic Prima Donna." The day ufter the celebration of the writing of “America” and the testimonial to its venerable author, Rev. Dr. Smith, Miss Hall happened to read an account of the exercises. While so doing a thought came to her. The result is that at every peiformace of“‘Dorcas" as the strains of the last number are dying away, the or chestra segues into “America” and the national anthem is sung by Miss Hall and her company. The effect is simply electrical. In some cases the entire ' au dience join in the chorus, while in others they stand spellbound until the song is finished and then cheer'Miss Hall to the echo. Miss Hall has announced t nit it is litrjir.dtetion to^follow'thiB cus tom which she has inaugurated at every pertormace given by ber in the future,no matter whether the opera is “Dorcas” or something new. Portland will have its first experience with this innovation next Moday evening, when Miss Hall and her company are to play a return engagement in “Dorcas” at the Portland Theatre. “Trilby.” To those who have read Du Maurier’s novel, the stage version as written by Paul M.Potter will oe a revelation. Mr. Potter is ackowledged by all the critics to have most capably done his work and to have placed upon the hoards a wonderfully clear conception of the vari ous characters in the book. 'Taffy, Tne Laird, Svengali, Little hillee, Gecko, Dodo, Trilby, Mine. Viunaid and allot the others seem almost to have stepped from the pages of the story, and to have material flesh. These characters will have most able artists to portray them at the Portland Theatre next Tuesday Bvening iu the persons of Boyd Put nam, Chas. Canfield, George Fawijett, Frederick Couger, Miss Sybil John stone, Miss Louise Muldener and the other members of Mr. A. M. Palmer’s company, under the management of Mr. VVm.A.Brady. “Hawaii” on Fast Day. Hnwaii as presented hv the Portland Athletic Club should prove tp be the Btongest holiday attraction that has been seen at tbe Portland Theatre in a number of years, and will surely draw two large and jjfasbionable audiences at the matinee and evening performances on Fust Day. In the final performance of tne opera on Friday evening, a great deal of interest has developed and it promises to be as notable in event as tb e initial presentation. A1 Fields's Minstrels. There was a good-sized, hut not crowded andience gathered at City Hall last evening to listen to A1 Fields’s min strels, and tnere was no question, from the applause nud encores, that they were delighted. Musically, the performance was excellent from the orchestral or vocal standpoint to say nothing of the exceedingly clever Alveraz family, the musical barbers. They evoke music from ell imaginable appurtenances to bar ber shop, chairs, cushions, cuspadors, razor strops, shaving liiugB, grinder, eto. The company is particularly strong in vocalists. Arthur Yule is a phenome non with his triple voice—baritone, ten or and soprano. Melville’s act as the Gomique Equilibrist was a very taking sue, and he was applauded contiuously. He introduces many novelties in bis line. The banjo soloist, E.M.Hal), won his share of the honors. He is a Brewer man. Moore and Beeso were absurdly comical in their grotesque feats and “ bulloonatics. ” The final was a traves Best Little Purgative I ever used,” writes one lady, in regard to Hood’s Pills. “They are so mild and do their work with out any griping. I recommend them to ail suf fering from oos tiveness. They will certa inly bring your habits regular. Wo use no other cathar tic.” Hood’s Pills are rapidly increasing in favor. 25c. J ty spectacular, entitled “Aladdin,” which afforded considerable amusoment. Mrs. I owell’s Recital. Mrs. A. W. Lowell’s classes gave an exhibition Inst evening at ',Kot7.schmar Hall that thoroughly delight.d the audi ence. The programme was long, but ev ery number was a suocess..Many of them have been referred to by usj from day to day for some time past. ^Tbe drills went as if they were run by clock work, and the living statuary was beautiful. The several groupings showed study and taste, the p oses were extremely strong, the characters well chosen, and very beautiful effects were produced ^by the calcicU! lights. The pantomimes were very amusing and very[cleverly acted. “Tb Giddy Girl” was exceedigly effec tive, and a charming bit of action was seen in the drapery movements by little Molltb Sullivan, only five years old and very small, but extremely winniug. Al together Mrs. Lowell has reason to be pleased with the success of her enter tainment, and the applause of the audi ence showed that they toought so too. Tlie Annex Entertainment. Those who are not in attendance at the Congress Square vestry this evening, will surely be disappointed. The two plays “Barbara” and “When Greek meets Greek,” are well written end have been very carefully studied by the members of the respective casts. The members of the Jeffersonians have marked dramatio abilities, and always give a good per formance. The best part of the whole thing is, that they are working for char ity, and as they are very popular, are sure of a good attendance. Chamber Concert, An announcement that has met with many expressions of delight from the music loving people of Portland is that of the fine Chamber concert to be given l ffimnlimpnitnrv Vlioa \Ta1Ho "R Moo.

Philadelphia^ was so well received,and as he is said to have excelled himself in the way it has been staged, both as to the scenic effects and artistic detali, his opening will be an ticipated as one of the notably “first nights of tbe season. Mr.Mansfield is always a delighf.From his New York theatre, decorated in Pompeiian red and bronze, be scuds forth a bugle blast that will arouse the spirit of those who regard tbe present stage us the abomination of desolation, a blast that may ever cheer our pessimis tic brother Clapp. “There will be no old women with pasts at the Garrick, no teacup philosophy and no hypnotism,” says Mr. Mansfield. Having thus neatly disposed of the leading dramatists of tbe day,Mr.Mansfield announces his am bition “to follow the mode) of the The atre Francaise and have the company elect their fellow members.” Here is a case where tne Australian ballot would have indisputable advantages. Dime Matinee—Portland Theatre,2 p. m. OBITUARY. Capt. I’red A. Drinkwater. Cuplain Fred A. Drinkwater d.ed yester day at the residence of his son, Mr. Fred A. Drinkwater, Jr., No. 165 Cumberland street. He had.been sick with disease of the heart for some time and Ids death was not unex pected by his relatives, though the news will be a shock to many of the friends or the deceased. Captain Drinkwater was born in Portland seven-soven yearsland nine months ago in the old Drinkwater homestead which was burned in 1866, but which stood on the exact site of the house In which be died. He went to sea in early life and worked himself up by ability to be one of tbe best known snd most successful shipmasters of the day. Ho was for years in command of a clipper passenger ship running between New Orloans and New York and Liverpool and Havre. He also sailed fur tbe Pattens, of Hath, and on retiring from their service was succeeded by Captain Wyman, now of this city. For the past tbfrty-Jive years be lias been in tbe commission bus'ness in Havana and Matanzas. JHe had charge of the yacht Wanderer, the slaver, af»cr she was captured by the government. For the past three or four years Captain Drinkwater has remained in Portland, his failing health not allowing him to return to Cuba ro attend to his business. His erect Tgure and quick and vigorous step have be come familiar to our citizens, who will per haps be surprised to know that he was so far advanced in years, for he looked ten years younger thhn he really was. He was a gentleman of the old school, seldom un bending from his everyday dignity. In bis time he was one of the prominent merchant captains of bis native state. Captain Drinkwater leaves two sons, Fred A. Drinkwater, Jr., of this city, David Drinkwater, who is now in the West, and one daughter, Mrs. Frank Curtis, of this city. Keckless Wheeling:. An accident that n ight have had serious results occurred l&st night as the result of reckless riding, borne would be scorchers think the asphalt on Congress street a St place to show off, and one snch came down last evening. He met two riders going up, and instead of turning out or slowing up, made a dush intending to crowd between. The result was a collision, and some slight damage. The public streets are no place for racing, and the practice should be slopped. New School House for the Hill, The special committee appointed by the Mayor for the purpose of making an inspection of the school houses on Munjoy llill with a view of seeing if a new building is needed visited the hill yesterday aftrnoon. The committee consisted of Councilmen Ilsley, Payson and Kent, Aldermen Buddy and Dam, and McGowan and Hall from the school board. The committee visited the North School, Shaiier school anu Monument street school, looked at last at Cailteton Place, but expressed no opinion as to the style and character of the building desired. SAILING OF THE BAY STATE Captain Snowman in Command of the New Steamer—How a Man Tried to Find One Captain William Snowman and Had Two to Pick From— M. F. Davis on the Water Front,but Only Dimly Hints at His Plans An Almost Complete Clearing Out of Freight. AI. F. Davis, the once noted oarsman and still noted boat builder reached ner yestei day morning and loft at 11 o’clock for the East. He was along Commercial street yes terday talking with old friends. He left Portland for Detroit, Aliob., some two years ago, and has not been in ibis city since. He came here from Washington. It will be remembered that the PRESS recent ly noticed the progress made in one of his infringement suits now pending in the United States courts, and he is presumably east on that business, although not entirely so as lor the past two months he ha6 been constantly on the move.“ I have inter viewed oarsmen east, west. north and south,’ said Air. Davis, “and by the way dont it strike you that Portland, or at least the State of Alaine ought to have some big regatta, or some notable boating event?” he added. « Mr. Davis went from hero to the east. He proposes to stop off at Oldtown, he said, and “will then go still further east.” He will be here again in about ten days, when he expects to be able to outline his plans. He is evidently w orking up some big gather ing of boating men on some favorable water. He is looking well, and last fall took on one occasion active shell work lor eigLt miles and showed up well, ihat is, well lor a man who was entirely out ot training. When the steamer Hay State soiled Inst evening there was a perfect crowd on board, and a still greater crowd on the wharf. Mr. Uisoomb was there taxing u last look at the oeauty before she left the dock on her first trip. Mr. George S. Hunt drove down ard expressed his admiration lor the beautiful craft, and a young lady learned over the rail of the miner dec-.k and sairl In another on the wharf, “Nellie, this boat is a perfect dream.” To that the young lady on the wharf responded: “You won’t think so after you’re well outside.” Captain Snowman, was on hand early, a button hole bouquet, the gilt of a lriend, attracting spociaJ attention. The Captain was in a mood or recalling old times when he was on the old steamer Fori st City. His brother-in-law is Captain William Snowman hia.piiot, and years ago a man got desperate ly mixed when tryinp to And the Captain Snowman he wanted. He called at tiro house of Captain Snowman, the pilot, where Captain Snowman of the Bay State was living, and suid, “1 want to see William Snowman.” “Two William Snowmans live here,” was the reply. “1 want to see Captain Snowman.” Z They’re both captains.” “I want the one who ia a pilot.” “Both are pilots.” “1 want the one who runs on the Boston boat.” “They both do. Which Captain Snowman do you want to see/” Tne seeker after information thought for a moment and then said slowly: “I want to see the Captain Snowman who used to live in Georgetown.” That was enough, and Captain Snowman, now on the Bay State, was asked to go to the door. There was a slight delay in getting off Just evening, for some-people will always be lute no matter what happens, and the boat had to stay o\er time slightly, and then tne bell sounded, tbe gang plank was removed, and Captain Snowman took his handsome craft out in'to the stream. When he reaches Bos ton in the morning, Mr. Williams will be there to welcome him. The cleaniug up process was applied to tbe freight in the Grand .Trunk sheas yes terday in good earnest. When the Vancou ver sailed she left behind just two car loads of oat meal to begin the cargo of ihe Numidian. 1 he forwarders will look to i that not a pound too much freight is sent, and all will Lej.cleaned up when the last steamer suils. As it was the Vancouver couldn’t have made much more thorough work with the freight. Some of the articles taken were 46,400 bushels of grain, twenty one cur loads of hay, 16 horses, 10,101 sacks of flour, 6,760 packages of cheese, thirty j barrels of potash, 160 bales of cotton, 270 ! bales of pulp, one car load of sundries, thirty-one organs, agricultural implements in cases, 11,424 maple,; blocks fur matches, 599 packages of meats, and 14-12 sacks ot oaten n eal. The work of bringing and forwarding the freight for the Numidian will be attended to at once by the Grand Trunk, and there will be no delay. There was quite a fleet of cousters in yes terday. The coastwise trade has been a trifle dull, but is coming up again. Samuel Morgan, well known on Commer cial street, met with a bad accident Wednes day. He slipped und as he came down his hand rested on a Lit, and the sharp instru-, ment waa forced through the hand. Ho was | doing well yesierday, but the wound w’as a j very bud one. J. W. Trefethen reported yesterday the arrival of the schooners George i'. Kean ■ and the Albert W, black, witn 8050 pounds j each of cod and haddock. The small boat fishermen weie fortunate again, and took i 54,000 pounds of prime lish all told. Quarters lor the crew of the lire boat and an office lor the harbor master are being fitted up in, the second story of the People’s Ferry waiting room on Portlund Pier. A lively hunt look place yesterday in the dock between Portland Pier and Commercial wharf aiter a loon." which suddenly made its appearance. Jn spite of fishermen who pursued it in dories and volleys of bricks from hunters on the wharf the agile bird by diving and dodging escaped into the harbor. A disgusted hunter firing several shots in the vain hope of stopping the fugi tive. The steamer Portland will be thoroughly repainted and refitted as far ms necessary befoie she is again placed on the line. It was said ahove that the Bay State glided out into the stream, and so she did at the second trial, for it was found that in some way the anchor kail caught and it was 8.45 belore she finally left her wharf. Then as she went down the harbor rockets were sent up and the fort was saluted when she rounded the point. Dime Matinee—Portland Theatre,2 p. in. A Bare Lot of Horses, Mr. John D.
