A' performance of more than usual interest is announced for to-morrow afternoon at the " Alcazar Theater, when Miss Margaret Wycherly will present two plays by the Irish poet, Willlam Butler Yeats, hitherto unseen in this city. They are: “Land of Heart’s Desire” and ““The Hour Glass,” and in each Miss Wycherly will be supported by a specially selected comr pany of players picked from two of the New York companies now appear- ing in this city. The Yeats plays are considered by critics to be the best yet written by. lhls brilliant author. “Land of Heart's | Desire” is a fairy drama, telling a | simple, direct story of peasant life in | Ireland a hundred years ago.

Inspectors were | irected to investigate the matter and put a ston to the work. In accordance with the City Attor- ney's oninifon the board refused to as- sess damages to property belonging to the Nau heirs by reason of certain | blasting operations. The anplication of the City Street | sion of time on its contract to repave | | Greenwich street, between Franklin | and Gough, was denled. The board heard the arguments of G. granted to flower venders to sell flow- at Kearny and Geary streets, which | free flower market.

R., was present and delivered an address on General Grant to the pu- pils of the seventh and eighth grades. Many ladies of th Lincoln Corps were also present, together with parents of the pupils.

Of this amount $420,000 is for general maintenance, $100,000 for new street and sewer construction, 18150,000 for public improvements not | specified and $252,000 for salaries of | all employes.
