The trains arriving over the various roads yostorday were well filled with the ad- vance guard, and from present indications by to-night the accommodations of the city and hostelries will be rather soverely taxed. The bustlo and crush on Six- teenth street is specially noticeable, and will increase with each day. Already the num- ber of carryall men on the streets is groat,and to-day they decorate every corner in the heart of the city The Fair. Pheenixlike, the Omaha fair has risen from its ashes and tuis year present the finest display ever known in iws history. The in flux of stock has been unprocodentod and the managers have becen astonished to find that, despite their extensive preparations, their estimate of the number of entries has falien remarikably short. They set to work at once to aceommodate the patrons, and all day the sound of hammers was heard and largo s of men were engaged in getting things adiness. At noon yosterday the fair commenced and a tarill of 50 cents was imposed upon every person entering the ga The new amphitheater, which is the first object_of striking interest on cntering the grounds, is larger than the old one, burned down lust fall, having a scating capacity of 8,000 which is 500 more than its predeces sor.

All varietics of cacti, vincs, palins and other tropical plants appear at intervals, while hanging-baskets, with their droopine vines, give a still richer variety to the beau tics of the enchanting bower. The scene r minds one strongly of Shaw’s famous botan- jeal display in St. Louis. - Two entire sec tions of the floral hall are devoted to this floral_exhibit, In the third department appear the sub- stantfal products of farm, garden and or chard arranged in temptiog array. Lus cious apples of all sizes and hucs, huge grapes, the mammoth squash and ‘melon, new potatoes and corn, wheat, oats, millet, ete., appear in order telling of an. auspicions season for the Nebraska farmer.

The poultry department is as large as ever ana contains the usual exhibit of bufl wvochins and other varieties of chickens,ducks, , doves, ete. 11 the departments arc well filled and the rofreshment stands crected are nuuierous enough to feed a vast army daily. ‘The fine art display which is now being put n promises also to oe unusually fine.

Ohicago 14, Omaha b, The game of ball between the Omahas and Chicagos yesterday afternoon was hardly worthy of the name, Ted Kennedy, whom the Prohibitionists discarded, pitched for the home team, and he pitched like a farmer. The visitors only touched him up for ninetoen hits and four- teen runs, ¥ Every man made one or more hits, B1ut 1o condense the friasco in a nutshell, Kounedy pitched like a farmer, Cusick um- pired like'a shoemaker and the Omahas wer powerless when a decent play would hav pulled them out of the hole. 1t was one of those ‘‘yellow” games that and club is liablo to play once in a while. Howover, there is 10 occsion to excuse or offer anything in extenuation of the Omabas’ play. At times they resembled a lot of old women hanging out a washing, Thoy made hits enough to win two or thr mes, but they didn’t make them in the right time. However, it might be justice say that it would (ave boen a diffeult mat- ter to win in the face of the fierce bomburd ment Mr. Kennedy mez with. 1t crack! bang! from the openin close, and the black-hosed g tearing round the buses like o frighted sheep going through a fence, But he tende kept af. tie flock of hole in scoro.

This was u red letter | AML First Production of Boyd's, A story of Jove, with its lights and shadows, its joys and sorrows, its wrangles and its reparations; of loyal faith aud strong devo tion, winning at last victory and happiness Such is the play of “The Wife''—a domestic drama in its proper classification—which was presented at Boyd's opera Louse last evening for the fivst time in Omalia. Rarely has th been seen on the local stage nmore pleasing i interesting play; never one given with more sh and __cxcel o, qualities for which the W York Lyceum company enjoys a merited reputation, Pl task of the critic is simple where no criti- cism is required. A play pure in motive and natural in its development calls only fc commendation, A company of which every mber i3 exactly fitted to the part im sonated invites only praise, The play of “I'he Wife! opens happily. Al who fill the scene live in the sunlight—all save one, a woman whose heart has been blighted by a discarded love. In the midst of a happy nt this nemesis, Lucille er i, custs ber dow across the lives of Robert Grey and Helen Truman, and finds her revenge in their separation. John Rutherford, igno rant of Helen's love for another, makes her hiswife. Again Lucille, hoping still to win buck the love of Rovert, brings sorrow to 1wo lives, assisted thereto by an intriguing politician, Matthew Culver, und Kuther ford’s faith in his wife and friend is put to the test. Itis vindicated, and *The Wife" ends as it begun, happily. The play is constructed admirably with reference to the alternation and intermingling _of the serious and humorous, and the story is developed with a skill that maintains un unbroken interest. The climuxes are natural ana impressive, and it is & chief merit of the work that it keeps within the iine of probability. Ixcellent in spurit and tone, and of good literary quality, “The Wife'" fully merits the repuiation and success it has everywhere won, When every member of a numerous cast Aeserves pi it must appear somewhat invidious to scl a few for special commendation, but this consideration secms justly due to' Mr. W..J Mr. Charles.
