Company of Stroof Actors. .
The clash of interest in "A Breezy
Time," with its fine band and orches
tra will be seen at the Opera House
New Year's day, matinee and night, is
brought by the fact ihat the creditors
of a young college student have pur
sued him out of town, and that the
girl he loves has done likewise. It is
easily to be seen that comic complica
tions can grow out of this state
of things, Leaving 'the plot alto
gether out of the question, however,
the piece is said to bring upon the
stage a great many people who have
made hits in their time, and who have
been brought together for the first
time in the newest "A Breezy Time."

matinee 25 cents for everybody. 8eats

Monte Crlsto.
Supported by a notable company of
over fifty people, and with the same
great scenic production that ran all
last season in New York, Boston and
Chicago, Mr. James O'Neill will be
seen at the Opera House next Thurs
day night, January 2nd, in a colossal
revival of "Monte Carlo." The pro
duction was furnished by Laebler &
Company, a firm whose name has be
come synonymous with star casts and
magnificent spectacles, and it is said
that they have outdone themselves in
this instance. The company includes
such prominent artists as Frederic
De Belleville, James O'Neill, Jr.,
Warren Conlan, W. J. Dixon, Claude
Gilbert, Joseph Slaytor, Edward Lally,
Mark Ellsworth, Edgar Forrest, Miss
8elene Johnson, Kate Fletcher and
Virginia Keating. The subsidiary
company is extremely large and in
keeping with the immensity of the pro
duction. The sale of seats for this engagement
will open Tuesday morning at Ger
ken's. Prices, $1.50 and $1.00. Ad
mission, 75 cents.
Ssg Harbor.
James A. Heme's "Sag Harbor"
has been considered by most of the
able critics who have seen it a bet
ter play from the higher art stand
points than even Heme's earlier fa
mous work "Shore Acres." Its record
of success is undoubtedly the greatest
of all Heme plays, and it is not at all
singular that our theatre-goers are on
the qui vive to see this play about
which so much in extreme commen
dation has been said and written.
In "Sag Harbor" assurance is given
by Liebler & Co., under whose skill
ful management the play enjoyed
such marked success in the East that
it will be given here wtth the same
splendid scenic investiture that was
such a factor in New York, Boston
and Chicago. It will be presented at
the Opera House Friday night, Janu
ary 3rd.

of Sweet Plessnres.
The second anniversary of the Wil
mington ' Lodge of Etks will be cele
brated to-morrow night at the Elks'

that festive fraternity.
A specialmeeting of the lodge is
called at 8 o'clock to initiate two can

tory exercises the smoker will be on.
An excellent programme for the
evening has been arranged and it is

will be happy responses to several ap

thanksgiving and general rejoicing
at the phenomenal strides made by the
local lodge in the two years of its ex
istence. Members of the Wilmington
Lodge of Elks now number a hundred
and fifty and the order here is on a
sound basis and in a most flourishing
condition. The stag smoker will be
just what it ought to be, one of the
most delightful and pleasant celebra
tions in the history of the antlered
tribe of this city.

HAD A R0U0H VOYAGE
Cspt. Pessewell snd His Yoang Companion
Arrived Safely st New York.
The schooner Emily F. Northam,
or which some anxiety was felt, has
reached New York in safety. She
sailed from this port on December the
6th with a cargo of lumber for Stam
ford, Conn. The day after the vessel
sailed from Southport she struck a
hurricane, and for many days she en
countered exceedingly rough weather.
Her only mishap during the voyage
was the losing of a part of her deck
load.
It will be remembered that Muter
George Shepard left on the schooner
with Capt PennewelL The safe ar
rival of the vessel through the stretch
of bad weather is due largely to the
caoabilityof Capt. Pennewell, who is
one of the youngest sailing
masters
plying on tbe Atlantic coast.
Capt Pennewell will return
to
an
Wilmington for another cargo at
early date.

MR. QWATHMEY'S HORSES.
His Bay Trotter Tador Chimes Wss the
Stsr Attraction On tbe Speedway.
Won Many Heats.
The following clipping from the
New York Evening Telegram of
recent date will be read with in
terest by many Wilmingtonians:
Mr. A. B. Gwathmey and hia bay
trotter Tudor Chimes, 2:13, recently
purchased at a long price as a pole
mate for Tiverton, were the star at
tractions at the 8 peed way yesterday.
It was the owner's first appearance in
several weeks, and he seemed to thor
oughly enjoy riding at speed over the
firm, smooth surface, uis trainer.
John Howell, was behind Tiverton,
and as the two horses have shown so
fast together to the pole, the owner
was anxious to see them pitted against
each other in single harness.
"The horses proved as cioseiy
matched In single harness as when
harnessed together, and although Tu
dor Chimes won each heat, it looked
to a spectator as if Mr. Howell could
have made the pace just a trine taster
with Tiverton, even if he had not
been able to win. It is never consid
ered quite 'good form' for a trainer to
finish in iront or nis employer, un
the other hsnd, it must be remembered
that the two hortes had many keen
contests before Mr. Gwathmey made
the purchase, and Tudor Chimes never
lost a heat except on two occasions,
when be lost his stride."
