Chicago is just now full of attractions for pleasure seekers, and those of our citizens who take in the cheap excursion next Saturday will have a wide latitude of choice as to- how they will pass their time in the city. At the matinee Saturday afternoon Mrs. Langtry appears Hardcastle, in Oliver classic and matchless “She Stoops to evening of the same day ind” in Shakespear’s pereuiiially popular pastoral comedy. “As you Like It.” To see either of these plays, well performed, is to mark a white spot in the memory forever. At McVicker’s theater this weolc “The Professor” is on the boards, and those wdio remain until Tr.esJay night can enjov the rare privilege of hearing the divine Patti and “Her. Majesty,s Opera Company ’ at the same place. According to the ‘lndianapolis Journal’track laying on the C. & G. S., Railroad was to have been begun last Tuesday. Next Saturday, tlie Regular night train on the L N A & C will | not leave Chicago until 12 o’clock, j thus giving the .excursionists of j that day, who desire to do so, plen- | ty of time to attend the theater. j Good enough:— On Tuesday, in , the 9th district, Charles T. Doxey, the Republican candidate, was elected to fill Mr. Orth’s unexpired term in Congress, bv a majority of 2,(D0 over his Democraticjoprjx.uent.
