The registration tor the municipal

1631 names down on the great regis

a criterion, a great majority of those
whose names are down are Kepubli

their political affiliation, but they
were 1179 in number and probably
the, same proportion of Republicans
are among those who have registered
since the primary. While the regis

SEVERAL OF THE PARTICI-
PANTS WIN HIGH PRAISE
FROM MUSIC LOVERS.
Aaain last ninht "Pinafore" attract
ed a goodly number of people at the
Astoria theatre, and nerhans it oassed
bff somewhat better than the first
nieht. Unon the whole the rendition
of the pleasing old opera has won
much praise. Following is a review of
"Pinafore written by a lady:
Astoria has been all agog the past
two days over the production of the
comic opera "Pinafore," staged by the
able Mr. Robinson for the benefit of
the High Scbol. This gentleman is
Well known here, and one hears
praises of his rendition of this opera
on every hand with praise. It is
no small matter, that of putting on
such an opera in a short month's time.
But, 'Astoria has an abundance of
local talent, and sturdy young men,
and beautiful ladies, who know that
to hide their light under the prover
bial bushel is as much a crime these
days as in the olden times; so these
young men and women loaned their
talents to Mr. Robinson for the glory
of Astoria.
The "Sailor Boy's Chorus" did fine
rhythm-work. Some of the '"Jolly
Tars" looked more fierce than jovial,
but the audience seemed to appreciate
their fierceness especially Dick Dead
eye's (E. C Judd) doleful D ! One
also observed many beautiful bril
liantly black moustaches, and one lone
prematurely gray "goatee," which
contrasted nicely with the white sail
or suits. No) was that Superintend
ent Clark with white cap jauntily tilt
ed, doing those fancy steps on the
right end of the chorus? You don't
say sol
. The ladies' chorus was so rweet
and all looked so petite that they won
all hert; their rhythm-work was,
nearly perfect, and they showed them
selves adepts. Their responsive chorus
showed thought, and required con
stant attention on their part as to
supporting the personnel
The dramatic personnel was excep
tionally strong for .local talent, and
each one seemed to fit his or her
part perfectly. Who wouldn't kow
tow to the Right Hon. Sir Joseph
Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty,
etc., etc.? (W. F. Gratke). So daz
zling was this gentleman's success,
and so stormy the applause, that his
fame has already gone abroad in our
land, arid nothing remains to be add
ed in " his praise.
However, we would say that, with
out the perfect self-poise and able
seconding of Miss Ella Thomas
(Hebe) Mr. Gratke. could not have
shone with such luster.
V. A. Bcharrel (Capt. Corcoran),
fitted his part most genuinely. His
excellent singing, his bearing, alt
showed thought and study, and the
result was pleasing to all.
Much of the attraction centered
aroundf the two lovely vocalists:
Miss McCann (Little Buttercup), and
Mrs. Harry Flavel (Josephine). Their
parts were hi-avy and required tcm-
. . i ! , : . . J . I t.i- .
I pcrameni ami auiniy, aim incsc ihuics
were equal to the occasion. Miss
McCann, with her wonderfully deep,
far-reaching voice made one wonder
where so slight a person carried all
those beautiful tones. Mrs. Flavel
had some quite difficult passages, but
she rendered them well, and her high
tone seemed clear and well taken.
These two leading ladies sang en
chantingly, and the applause was
stormy. .
J. -J. Johnson (Ralph Rackstraw)
ably supported Mrs. Flavel, and when
one considers that one and all were
home talent, it makes us sit up and
take notice how "We killed a bar we
did it."

though of course there are reasons
Xhat make for a comparatively small
registration in Astoria.
Yet, perhaps, the thought is worthy
of some contemplation that the affairs
of the city with its 15,000 people are
directly controlled by only about
one-tenth of the population.
