The partnership real ' estate business heretofore existing between MeNeil,l, Porterfield and Ruppert has been dissolved, and the firm hereafter will be known as McNeil & Porterfield. THEATRES - (Continued from 1st page.) to the lads in the gallery, are intensely interested until the final eurtain. The special scenery is especially fine and gives the striking features true to the "real thing" of the interior of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, New York. "The Earl of Pawtuekett" will be greeted by a large audience, and those who appreciate, a truly good play will check off their seats as soon as the plat is open. , "Two Merry Tanips,'' Wtfdd ' &' Ward's rollicking farce comedy, follows on Tuesday evening, and of this company nothing special need be said; for it is too well known to require special mention. Wood & Ward are always in a jolly good humor, and, with a large company, mostly pretty girls, they always please the lovers of farce comedy. This season's company is said to be the strongest ever carried by Wood & Ward, and that's saying a "heap"; for, in times past. ithev have given the theater-goers of Richmond many enjoyable entertainments. AVest's minstrels will " jolly things up" on the evening of February 17th, and of the attraction, many good things can truthfully be said. - "The Katzerjammer Kids," with the Captain Uncle Hienie and other victims, (not including the audience) will prove a drawing card at the Gennet t February ISth. . Other attractions soon to be here are: - "New Eneland Folks," Clay Clement, in "The New Dominion," Kathyrne Ostuman, in "Miss Petticoat." " Under Southern Skies," and the Jeffersons, in "The Rivals."

Will Welfer has bought one of the Collin. lots in the east end and. will have a beautiful cottage residence built in the spring. The venerable Abraham Reynolds is very seriously sick . at the residence of his son, M. Reynolds, five miles north of town. A movement is on foot to bore for gas here again. The Mexican liniment show did not materialize Monday as promised. LOST LETTER. Rev. C. P. Cook reports to this office that on December 2, at fi:30 p. m. he mailed a special delivery letter containing two five dollar bills to Mrs. Pearl Johnson, Marietta, Ohio.

MUSICAL NOTES

Old Instruments Should be Collected. (Ncav England Conservatory Magazine.) The presentation to Yale University of the valuable Steinert collection of old musical instruments and its formal opening during commence ment Aveek last June leads us to remark upon the desirability of establishing such collections at musical centers. The Steinert collection consists of good specimens of early clavichords, harpsichords and spinnets from the sixteenth century up to the modern pianoforte, and there are besides some specimens of the early members of the violin family. The valuable collection of ancient and modern musical instruments of the Berlin Museum has been remoA'ed to the rieAA building of the Hochschule fur Musik at Charlottcuburg, and presents to the students of that institution an iiiAaluable opportunity to study this important feature con nected Avith their professional life The Berlin Hochsehule has recognized that an institution of its rank that draAvs students from all over tin Avorld ought to offer every facility foi their broadest development. The NeAv England Conservatory exhibitet this same feeling Avhen it established its collection of ancient musical in struments, Avhich should become the 1 most important in America if the generous interest of its friends becomes aroused as it sould be. The present interesting collectioi of 'rare musical instruments possessed by the ConserAatory, Avhile lirniteJ in extent yet is strong in certain lines and thus forms an excellen'' nucleus for the greater collection Avhich it may hope to accumulate in the near future if its friends whe have desirable old instruments Avill add them ,to those already obtained. It is becoming more and more difficult to acquire a good collection of genuine old musical instruments, even Avith unlimited money at one's com mand, and the prices have risen sc enormously that it is uoav only possible at great expense. The best col lections are those Avhich are formed gradually. It is by. this process that the ConserAatory may hope eventually to become possessed of one that will be truly representative. This can easily be accomplished if the collectors of rare instruments in and around Boston will co-operate by presenting them to the Conservatory which as a practically public institu Hon may well claim the interest of such benefactors. Boston is exceedingly rich in private collections of old musical instruments and these ought not to be allowed to be scattered Avhen their housing under a single roof Avould add more to the educational attractions of this centure of culture. In the Orient Boxer Spoiled Race Meet. The Avar in the Orient Avill have a blighting effect upon sport, a minor vet interesting phase of the tremendous situation. Nowhere in the world can 1here be found more ardent and devoted sportsmen than among the English and American res idents of the seaports along the Jap anese and Chinese coasts, from Yokohama to Nagasaki, and from Tientsin to Hong Kong. The loyal backers of their respective cricket eleA'ens and racing meets make nothing of a jound trip by sea of a thousand miles !io attend t!i" a:::vaal fixtures of the ! . ...... . - r'j orting si'Ihm '.': Shanghai semis its cricket err- r--ros the Yellow Sea to Nagasaki and Yokohama, and the i colonies in Japan return the compli ment. The race meetings are groat events of the year, and from Ilong Kong tlie ponies and the sportsmen journey north to Shanghai, and then up to Tien-tsin, a total journej of nearly a Aveek by sea each.Avay. The Boxer Avar spoiled the r.u-e meets for a year. But it Avas the crack jockey of North China, who, after four native couriers had been captured and killed in trying to get through the Boxer lines to the sea and the allies, to carry the upavs of the desperate straits of besieged Europeans in Tien-tsin, rode the fastest pony north of .Shanghai, and succeeded in breaking through alive. Sc pony racing in China had impressive demonstrations of its usefulness. The war Avith Russia will iut an end to international sports along the const of Japan for a time, and it Avill blight the busy pastimes of the Chinese exiles, with hostilities at their doors.
