Lincoln park Sunday afternoon con- certs_are popular. The attendance is invariably of generous proportions and the theater talent which during the wéek has given two performances daily is ' always available for the concert. No admission is charged to the the- atér and everybody is welcome to a reserved seat. There is, of cougse, the customary cost of a nickel for adm sion to the park, but on Sunday aft- ernoons the theater and its best seats are completely free. The entertainment vesterday afternoon was decidedly agreeable to the audience, Many re- mained at the park for an hour or two after the last act and enjoyed the cool pavilion and the shady walks. Tonight will see the commencement of one of the best bills offered so far this season to the Rustic theater patrons. Lew “Kip” Reed in “A Mon- key's Honeymoon” is one of the most comical performers traveling. Adams and Kelly are high grade Irish come- dians, with a large supply of smart stories, catchy songs and novel dances. Mavolio, the wire juggler, is.a mysti- fyving artist who holds the house’s breathless attention by his skilful bai- ancing and other feats. Morrow and Heins, the original two-man minstrel show, are described as very merry en- tertainers and full of fun and froliz Elmer and Rice, In “A Rube®n China- town” take their attentive watchers through all the engrossing and ludi- erous scenes of New York's supposedly tough Oriental quarter. Thursday nlght \\lll be rocket night. BREED THEATER. “The Oysterman's Gold,” Thrilling o8 Story of the Sea. At the Breed theater this week, will ®e shown a picture that is a real novelty, and is entitled “The Oyster- man's Gold, showing “an oyster fleet dredging oysters, a very interesting subject in itself. The day's work has been most successful as the boat re- turns heavily - laden. Right on the wharf the oysterman selis the entire load. He puts his gold into a bag and starts on his way home. Two helpers watch the transaction and de- cide to get the gold -for . themselves. Th2y foll)w him, and high upon a cl they attack him. There is a firce struggle between the .oysterman and one of thé outlaw Just when they are in a clinch, the other pushes the two down the rocks where he finds them afterwards lifeless. He takes th oystarman’s gold and runs away, but he is hounded by the dead man, whose warning hand he continnally sees be- fare him.- His guilty conscience drives him towards the sea anéd from a high rock he jumps into o watry grava: “The Message,” another big biogranh swccess, is hioked for this week, b sfdes “A Mothér's Choice,” “The Phan- tom Sirens,” and a most interesting and novel method of rzrn.‘ontinc a number of the foremost rulers of the world, included in which are the rulers of England, Germany. Rus France, Spain and the United States The Breed pairons will he again charmed by the very acceptable sing- ing of Master Harry Noonan, W ho will render “When 1 Marry You,” a very late illustrated song hit. Consu} Paul Lang reports that the twenty-fifth annual exhibition of the Easterr Townships Agricultural asso- ciatiof will be held ‘at Sherbrooke, Quebec, from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4, 1909 He sgys that -this is the largest fair held in the province and that New England manufacturers have obtained 800d results from exhibiting there. A report on sixty Indian tea com- Ppanies for 1908-1909 shows them gen- erally \in_good 'financial shape. They all paid dividends ranging from 2 to 27 pér cent., except seventeen, which l‘axl- ed to make good. A majority of the companies paid satisfactory dividends. GEORGE G.
