The city solicitor in Ottawa has been moved to recommend the repeal of a by-law which has been in exist- ence but not in force for a very long time. This by-law has reference to the forestalling of -poods offered for sele upon public markets. The origin of it is not easily defined. Apparently the fecling was that those who bought and sold the articles required for family use should not be allowed to make their selection before the good housewife had an opportunity to pick and carry off what she desired. So in Ottawa the hour at which the butcher, grocer, huckster and runner was free to begin operations was fix- d for nine o'clock, while in Kingston it was set at ten o'clock. However well-meant the by-law may have been it has never been fairly or fully observed. Occasionally] at long intervals, some one was accused of iolating its provisions, was sun moned before the magistrate, and ined. Put generally the by-law has been regarded as if it were not, and people have bought and sold with- out serious check or restraint. It is, indeed, quite impossible to stop the infringement of the law, is the to SO pressing temptation the and ignore it and of sellers <0 difficult enforcing it. The got to know cach other pretty well, and deals task buyers have are some times made without the ex- Winks mean pression of a sound. and nods much as the and signs which as many words, do the work, and huckstering goes on. For the repeal of the by-law many aldermen have moved in vears, to past and no purpose.

A Fine Production at the Grand Opera House. Last evening in the Grand opera house, a good sized audience witnessed the production of Anthony Hope's great romance. "Rupert of Hentzau." The play throughout was beautifully and appropriately staded, the scene in the palace of Straleau, with the moon light on the water, being, very artis- tic. The story of Rupert' of Hent- zau,"' is a sequel to "The Prisoner of Zenda," the same charhcters pre- dominating, especially Rucolph Ros- sendvll. The king, who was drugged on the eve of his coronation and held a prisoner in the castle of Zenda, was impersonated by Rudolph Rossendyll, who bore a marked resemblance to the monarch, and only Col. Sapt, Fritz Yon Tarlenheim. and a few others are in the secret. . The Queen Flavia, in love with Rosséndyll, has sent him a rose each year, but deciding this dan- ous, wrote a farewell letter. This falls into the hands of Rupert of Pentzau, who endeavors to give it to the king. To this end hangs the whole thread of the romance. Rupert murders the monarch hefore giving the letter, and in' g duel with Rudolph is, himself, killed, and the missive reaches the rightful-own It is essentially a man's play, and the parts 'are hard to particularize, as there was not an inferior member in the company. The highly strung nerv- ous irritibility of the king was splen- didly portrayed: George B. Miller, as the "Colonel," was 5 favorite from the first. Ethel Barrington, as "Queen Flavia," was very graceful ana pathetic. The little dash of life to the play was supplied by Theodory Dudley, as "Rosa Hol," who was very bright. "Mother Holi" was also good. Cecil Owen, as "Rupert of Hentzau," was a fine speciman of military manhood, and acted the cool. cold-hearted villian to perfection. In the laxt scene, the silent struggle be- tween love and honor, hy "Rossen- dyll," was a masterpiece and elicited enthusiastic applause. "New York Day By Day." There are few spots where so many 1: : . diferent nationalities meet, where so many foreign tongues are heard, where so many }jeculiar and pio turesque peo- ple are seen as in the old Battery Park, New York. This is one of the interesting scenes shown in 'New York Day by Day," at the Grand, on Thursday, October 9th. ; Theatrical Comments. The Grand Opera House prices have heen lowered this season. Nothing will be lost by the change as the at- tendance in certain parts of, the house will increase. Late-comers still disturb the © first act at the Grand Opera House.
