The oflicial daily programme of the veterans' reunion, which will be held during fair week, has already been pub- hished. The daily programme of the fair association will be made public this week. Through the courtesy of Secretary Mc- Shane, a Bik reporter was shown yes- terday the ‘‘copy’’ of the fair's daily bill- -fure, and from it was pointed out to im the nicety with which the special events of both the fair association and veterans' organization have been dove-tailed so_as not to interfere with each other. There has been, it seems, some anxiety us to how this was to be mplished: but it has been done, and e well. ere is no longer any fear, therefore, that any visitor, citizen or vet- eran who desires tosee all which the gala k of the year will have to offer be deprived of any opportunity to hl?lln the full scope of the joint cele- on. Another feature of the fair about which re has been some misunderstanding : &n rehension is the relation of the K aha Fair and Exposition association #0 the Donglas county ricultural so- They are ordinarily entirely sep- organizations. 'This year they are Ewd in the one common purpose which been mentioned heretofore in these oolumns—the giving to Omaha of the wery best fair and exposition which the ple of this section of country have had a chance Lo see. It is true that the coming grand display will be under the auspices of the Omaha Fair_and Ex- tion association, but this will not de- tractJdrom the county association's inter- st 1n the happy 1ssue of the result. The illvnon counties —Dundy Cass, Fillmore, aha, Cheyenne, Keith, Hall, Wayne, MBufialo, Howard and Sherman— which will appear in generous gompetition under one roof, will com- e only for the premiums offered by the aha association, while the Douglas County society will compete not only for those gencral prizes but among them- selves for the prizes offered by the county This gi n”; llhu home exhibitors, Ale an appreciable ad- Ny l!l:?‘ be exvected With u chance of be expected to exhibit son u liveral s The seorctary of the county association has distributed 2,000 premium lists through tais county and it behooves the farmers mote them well.

Theatrical Attractions of the Coming Season in the Gity: Next Monday evening will signalize the inaugural of the fall and winter the- atrical season, which promises to be the most enjoyable and successful within a long series of yeurs. For weeks the stafl’ of Boyd’s popular opera house have been assiduously engaged making the neces- sary preparations,and at last have every= thing in most commendable readiness. Among the many improvements notice- able 1s the removal of the wooden railing around the orchestra and its replacement with handsome bronzed circlets, with heavy maroon drapings. The whole in- terior of the building has been thorough- ly renovated, and now presents as bright and fresh and attractive appearance as any house in the country. The boxes are c comfortable and beautiful, with rich upholstering and furniture. The balcony, and even the gallery, are also handsomely treated, and the ventilation of the whole house most perfect. New rubber matting has been laid on the exit stairways and the vestibule has been garnished and touched up with exceeding taste and at- tractiveness. The hydraulics connected with the house are complete and in the best of repair, with numerous water plugs and an abundance of hose to reach the most remote corner. In addition to this, so perfect are the precautionary measures observed, the management have a detailed fireman, one on each side of the stage, to be ready to act in a mo- ent’s warning. In fact, there is ever preparation for any emergency, and it seems as if there should be actually no danger here from fire. The exits from the building are ample, with one ou the east, fire escapes on the west, and the main exits in the front. As previously mentioned, the house s to be formally opened to-morrow even- ing with William Gillette’s great Ameri- can play, “Held by the Enemy,” which created such a furore in the theatrical world last season, Following will be found a list of the bookings already made by Manager Boyd for the coming season, and speak in em- phatic terms for themselves: September 2 and 8, Evans & Hoey's Parlor Match, Fair week, the first three nights, Me- Intyre & Heath’s minstrels, and_ on the last three, Frank Ma: in Davy Crock- e't, Nordeck, aud the Royal Guard.

AMUSEMENTS, METZ'S GARDEN, This evening tho Messrs, Baureis & Puls, managers of the German theatrical company at this resort, have outlined three pieces of a most entertaining order. These will be produced, introducing for the first time the Davenport comedian, Gustav Hartzheim. The pieces selected are “Der Wei Mir,” produced for the first time in this city, “Als Velobte emp- fehlen sei,’” and *‘Shwert des Damocles.” In some of these pieces there are a num- ber of pretty, tuneful airs, which will be sung bfi_ Mrs. Puls-Abl ana Mr. Hartz- heiw. This will be the first appearance of Mr. Hartzheim, who is reputed to be an excellent comedian, BLIND MAN'S BUFF. . Three weeks ago a number of the lead- ing young German ladies and gentlemen produced, with remarkable success, a very interesting comedy, for the benetit of the German-American school. Ar- tistically, the enterlainment was an une- quivocal success, though the dampness of the evening precluded the attendance of the audienco, which the playing and the object demanded. On Thursday evening, September 1, the same ladies and gentlemen will appear in ‘‘Die Blindekuh,” at the garden mentioned, and for the purpose specified. There are reasons to believe that the picce will be as succcsshlI]ydprouuccd as was that in which these ladies and gentlemen origi- nally appeared. THE CASINO. This evening, the Casino will be thrown open for the entertainment of guests as usual. The Musical Union orchestra, which has now established itself the most entertaing body of musicians which has yet appeared there, will render a very entertaining programme supplemedted by some of the finest instrumentalists from the Omaha Musical band.

The board fully approved of his action i the mat- ter.

He inquired if such an action would vitiate the contract, The board suspended on until they could view the place indicated and fixed to- morrow at 1:30 o'clock as the time tor ingpection, McArthur, the ex-inspector, was not present as expected to enter certain pro- tests, but Mr. Heimrod told a funny story about him to vary the dullness, as follows: Desiring to gain pointers and discoyer terrible revelations of miscon- struction as promised by McArthur, he ascended the many ladder steps leading to the top of one of the viaducts and ex- pressed no surprise because he saw nothing wrong 1n the work. He was then promised the actual sight of eracked iron in the brid, and ascended more steps. Much ‘inhguml, he strained his vision but could discover no flaw in the iron. ‘Turning to MbArthur he said in- quiringly: *‘My friend, [see no crack in the spot indicated. "’ “'Oh yes, but there will be a erack in it soon,” renliecd McArthur assuringly. DOWNTH HEAM.
