BOAI' UPSET.
The Summer Wind’s Sign Overturns the
Over Dow.
. Harold Seymour, Norman Blake and
another youth named Williams, were
out sailing in the former’s boat Over-
Dew yesterday-afternoon and when out
in the middle passage 03 N auvoo, the
boat’ upset. The three young men
were unable to right the boat and she
drifted out toward the sound and they,
very cheerfully at first, started to swim
toward the lighthouse but it was a long
swim and the young fellows were pretty
well worn out when they reached the
objective point.
At the lighthouse they enlisted the
services of keeper Sam. Armour who
went out to find the drifting craft. He
returned, however, without the boat
which had gained too much headway
to be captured. The young men were
taken to the Yacht club house and im-_
mediately set out for home and this
morning did not seem to be any the
worse for their perilous experience.

AMUSEMENTS:
Boston Ideal Opera Company.
The'Boston Ideal company presented
Girofle—Girofla to a. large audience at
Hoyt’s Theatre last night. The opera
which is full of fun and laughter from
start to finish was well sung in the
several parts." Miss Ethel Balch took
the leading part and her soprano voice
was very favorably received as were
the tenor, E. L. Weston, and the bass,
After the perform-
ance living pictures were presented,
several of them being of patriotic sub-
jects.
McFadden’s Flats.
For an evening of genuine fun,
hearty laughter and striking climaxes,
a visit to “McFadden’s Row of Flats,”
next Saturday evening, should prove
most enjoyable. The stage story is E.
W. Townsend’s dramatization of clever
pen pictures of R. F. Outcault, mirth
provoking caricatures in Sunday issues
of the New York Journal. If the play
proves as 1ntensely amusing as did the
‘drawings, they will be ten times more
entertaining depicted above the foot-
lights by a. clever company.
