The Theatre.
The theatrical season has reopened in Ot
tawa "for the season." The attendance for
the week has been very good, and the com
pany seemed to give satisfaction. It is hardly
fair, however, to criticise a show at "15 and
2 00., and yet that is the ouly scale of prices
uow-aday that can fill the house. ,
The notes of preparation throughout the
country are not particularly encouraging
to the country manager. With the eity man
agers complaining of a scarcity of first-class
attractions thus early in the season, and the
critics saying it is clear as a bell that any
man with half a eye can see, that there are
not nearly enough first-class companies to
occupy metropolitan houses continuously
from August to June 1, 1887, the question
naturally arises, where will tho country
houses stand in the struggle for bookings.
It is not probably the season as a whole
will be much of an improvement over that of
last year; and the old time luxury of "week
stands" "of standard plays'1 may be ex
pected in lieu of the rush of novelties of a
few years ago. It is not possible the "com
bination" system can last much longer. It
has outlived its usefulness; is degrading the
American stago and lowering tho standard
of American acting too rapidly to survive
much longer; and a year or two more will
see the reorganization of the old metropoli
tan stock companies; whereupon hundreds
of country "opera houses" will furnish em
ployment for sheriff's auctioneers. In the
meantime tho country play-goer had best
take in a good thing when otfered, for his
chances for seeing good things at homo are
growing daily more beautifully less.
It is probable, here, however, that the out
look tor the reorganization of stock compan
ies is excellent, for the couniry is full of
bright young people, ready for an opportu
nity for study and practice, when the w hole
sale tramping around the country is ended.
Nor should the itinerant companies that "de
vastate the provinces" be sneered at; for
some of the brightest lights of tho present
theatrical firmament have been discovered in
their ranks, and the mines are not yet ex
hausted. So it may be a satisfaction to the
patent "rustio" who sits out an evening in
front of a "barn-stormer" to imagine the
leading man or lady a possible star under
a cloud temporarily, but a star neverthe
less. At I. Ilea'.

Mr. W. M. Flynn, the "score card man"
was on hand again this year the same as us
ual for the races, lie was liberally patron
ized as usual, filling his small quota of ad
vertising spaces within a very short timp
The fact is, whenever Mr. Flynn once gets
out a score card, the public invariably wel
come him back a second or a third lime.
His cards sell like hct cakeh for tiiey are
alwnyi, accurate, and by means of his colors
uven those most ignorant of the horses on the
truck can have the field as well as though
personally acquainted with each Individual
anl individual ho.-se. His a great con.
veuience to have a man like Flynn around at
a meeting; and we hope to see him here
again next year as usual, as well as Mis
Flynn and the little ones.

It goes without saying that our frieud "J. D.

scenery possible in the "Prairie Slate."

people had the pleasure of making the ac
quaintance of Miss Kelly and Mr. Taylor,
all of whom ngrctel that their visit was
so short. They are tropical Southerners of
the best of Soutl em society, and thos
who have had the privlledge of meeting such
know full well what that means.

Careful attention to diet is the best guard
against disease. It is a fact which all should
know, that over eating not only corrupts the
blood but destroys nerve force, and induces
dyspepsia, jaundice, bad breath, piles, pirn

and all stomach and lung troubles. Ir.
