10 THEATRICAL MATTERS OF NOTE •HEATER OF ARTS AND LETTERS. Tho Darren Results ofa "Stag's Flcvnflng/" Experiment—Tha Coghlaiia' Barlval of "Peg WoSJington"—The Young-eat Amer ican rinyrlsht—Other Chitchat. NEW Yobk, April Ufl,—The only real the atrical novelty in the city Ih another of tho numerous nilapuit ions of "lie Demi Monde." This particular version, which Is entitled "The Froth of Society," is the work of Mrs. Frank I.c .lie, who tfarns makes her debut ns n play wrlght. Thn piece has boon <m the road nnd is aaid to hive been very favorably received in the south. The principal roles are intrusted to Joseph llawnrt.lt ami Emily Kigl, two particularly competent actor*. In fact, it is my opinion that Miss Kigl's superiors in highly ciuo tlonul roles in the whole world cm be tountud on the Augurs of ona hoi I. ■M l Vi: FKOM "PEO WOFKINOTOJI." Mrs. Leslie explained to me some time ago that it was her desire to make the acts of the characters in her play aeom more logical than in tho origlunl, and nil of the changes Unit aha has mudn are, it must be admitted, decidedly for the bel ter. Mi's. Leslie also told ire that she intends to tin a good deal of play writing. Kirn thinks that she possesses thn true dramatic Instinct, no matter In what particular rospcct.s her work may be defective now. itnil I am in alinod to ngrno with her. The Froth of Society" may not Is- considered a phenome nally brilliant adaptation, but tho measure of biiccchh which has been occordi'd It will doubtless serveto oncimrngo thebrilliant, womun who is responsible for ft I o persevere lv hur new lino of work until she si,nil hnvo evolved n pluy which will give bar as high a position us a dramatiut en shenow enjoys us tt litter .ilenr Hlld pilhllnbor. Tho good people whti read Now York newspapers and New York dramatic letters will now have a rust from the Theater of Arts and Lettera until next season, for that peculiar institution Is winding tip for the year nt Palmer's theater. This exclusive "Bubscriptlon" organiKatlon which charged lt» patrouH IB o performance and compelled them to ptu-ouaae tickets for the entdre course at that figure ia now admitting tbe common herd at regular prices atl'almer's. I any "admitting," but that ia not tho cor rect expression. "Willing to admit" woultt be very much nearer trio mark, for MM people have not. lieseiged the doors of the theater in their hysterical anxiety to see tho plays which dramntista are unable to concoct, and which were therefore put togetliur by "literary folk*." MLLE. P.OSK POMPOH. .Sicr-cdlble as it may sewn, no special de tail ot policemen lias been necessary to Veep the general public from breaking iv tiie doors of Palmer's theater In its mad rush to witness the Arts and Letters' "too good-foi>tho-nverrage-tlieutei-goor" perform ances. Iv fact, 1 have heard it statod that that pig headed jade, the aforesaid general public, will not. attend in largo numbers even with the great inducement of many free tickets, yclept in theatrical parlance "paper." ! But to sum it all up tho Theater of Arts and Letters was on its face an improbabil ity. On its record it is iui absurdity. It is B hideous exeresoencu ou tho body dramatic, not because of tho poor judgment displayed in the selection of most of its plays, nor because of the fact that it is not managed by a theatrical man, but liecause it has used the "elevatiou of the drama" aa a stepping stone to exploiting several plays •which no ono cared to see, and one of which at least brought repeated roars of laughter, although it was intended by tho author to be positively grewsome In its seriousness. Buch things bring the stuKc into contempt. They "elevate" it downward. | Let us see how the Theater of Arts and Letters has lived up to its promises. Broad ly stated, at the outset of iis career it cited las an excuse for its existence the well known foct that scores of meritorious plays are annually passed around from one pro fesslonal manager to another only to be de clined. In other words, theatrical specula tors, as a rule, do not care iv thie country to try new material. Tbey prefer to ex ploit "foreign successes," which, by the way. generally prove failures, rather than trust tht:os*lves to selactan apparently valuable play by a new or unknown author. This foots "like good, safe business method ut the layman, but it isn't. I The foreign plays generally don't seem to texactlv suit American audiences. Never the.ess this timidity of the managers made it practically impossible for any resident oi the United SI ntea outside of the few dram atists with tstablhihed reputations to have his own play produced. This was :t Wiry dlsconrairingcomliii'.n for tho develop ment cf the native drama, nnd it wasuonil- U...W to correct th. evil that tho Theater of Aria i.nd Letters was founded. But the alcoaa which have been produced are in [early every caso tho work of men cud I c-.ucu who already htxvc national rcpnta lona in tho world of letters, and at least 'l i. ol the plays was written by a dramatist \;., so work is in great demand, and who hert faro scarcely needed a start from any- All ia all.outside oi aS.oruing agocd deal ef merriment by Aorcn/Jerfng rthourin water mtii-li too deep for ft, the Theater of Arts an I Ia iters has done nothing except to dis courage liberal minded |«rtrons from con tributing In tbe future to something which mislit. really prove a stepping stone to fame fur young dramatists.

O "ALL things leomsto him who wafts" aacordltia to the ancient ad agef The kicking bfiseboll player, Pitcher Tommy Lovett of the Brook ryns, does not think so.

The na«e of Lovett was a irrod to drive many of tbe holdbacks of this spring into camp, and they are all there except about aa many as you can count upon tho Augers of one hand without going over tho row twice. This, too, In spite ot all the volume ot thrcota from players who several months ago declared tbey would quit playing ball and "go Into business" boforo Utcy would accept a retraction in salary to fit the re ceipts of the game. Borne of the boys were bluffing, but some were in "dead earnest."

Tho scene was the Boston base ball grounds; the oooaaitm was the fimtl meeting between tho Boston and Prori tional league ihit season. Nine innings wore tilajou, and the scoro was a tie. Joe Hotatung, the Boston's left Adder, led off for his team in the ninth inning with a B>ba*e bit and scored the winning; run on Boruoek's safe single to right. The name which followed cannot be deaoribed. Sufjtee It to aay that Hornung and I3urduok, both immensely popular be fore tbat dary, amid have had the keys of the oil*/ for the asking that night, 'i'heir namea were tjc tho Hps ot half the people of Boston.

Today Joe could not iMtraw a picayune from any 'of the thousand Uoatrrriraiis who that night snng bis praise, pud tnnl&orjk, last week was sent to the wcrfcbouasj for ten days on convic tion of draxdeeacess ami loitering. Since (the proposition was made to bring tho old Ctociiiiurtt Red Stockinga and their concpiercjr*—-tho AfJautlcs— together at Chi- oago ou Jime 1* there haa been unearthed a newspaper acooant of an auction sale which totnt placo at the Union grounds— the Red Stockings' home in Cincinnati—in April faJlswtag the celebrated game in Brooklyn mentioned in my last letter. Among the ertacta sold on that occasion were a pitcher and goulet won in a tourna ment, In 1867, a goM medal won in 1866 and the different balls won In tho celebrated year of unbroken viotorlcs. These balls sold for from $1 to $10. Tho latter price waa patd for the 3-4 Mutual ball of 1369. Thus in less than nine months after the culmination of the Red Stockings' fame in their defeat on the Capitoline grounds rite team was dispersed, the club had disbanded and all the trophies of victories wore sold. Since that day the fame of those Red Stockings haa hod a resurrection, and it will llvoaa long as tho game Uvea. Tho bnlla, which sold in H7l for mere songs, would, if put up at auction now, letch many times as mnoh money. News comes from Chicago that Joe Quest, who at one time eorae years ago was a fa mous second baseman. Is one of the heirs to an estaha of 140(000,000 located somewhere beyond tho Atlantic. To anybody but a ball player such news would be interesting. With hail prayers of experience, however, a little matter like that haa no powers of excltooaant. Mr. Quest will probably fall Into hia milllona (when ho gets them) as naturally as a dnck goes swimming and will not make half the noise about it Which some of the players pred-aced this spring when tbey were offered not more than *10 an hour far playing hail.

Frana Boston to (ihioago la Ninety Hours, The great relay bicycle race from Boston to Chicago scheduled for April 80 and May 1, 3,and 4 promises to be the most re markable event of tbe kind ever ran Tbe swiftest and hardiest wheelmen between Boston and Chicago compose the respect!vs relays, and they arc pledged to cover the distance in 90 hours. Each relay will con sist of two win linen, one carrying a pouch conta*lliiijgan»e«'!u(;ofrom Governor Russell of Massachusetts to Governor Altge.ld of minora, and the other holding himself in readlnesa to lurry the message ahead in ease the regular carrier is disabled. 'From thn In-tsnt the message leaves Boston until it arrives in Chicago not a moment will be lost. Ni#ht and day «. ith- OUt pause two riders will be pedaling to ward the World's fair city at the best speed they arc capable of. The distance is about 1,264 mile*, and If the message is de livered In 9(1 hours every relay rider must cover Mb small section of the course at the speed of 14 mllet an hour. With good roods this would be comparatively easy for tho swift vrbealmeu who participate in the race, but If our naturally bud roads tire un der water most of tho way, as thoy were during the Chicago-New York relay bicyclo race lost year, the message will hardly bo delivered in tho prescribed 00 hours. noirrr of the rtEi.Ar rack. The riders in tbo Chicago-New York race, although confronted by as unfavorable weather us was possible, covered the 1,000 --milo cour.-to iv about 10!) hours, or at the average rate of over nine mllee an hour, al though many of tho riders who had relays of 10 miles or more performed their work ot a apeed of 2<> miles an hour. It will thus be Been that the weather must be auspl olous, the roads In good condition and the riders the very flower of American man hood If they succeed In making the 1,204 --milo run from lloston to Chicago in 90 or even 100 hours. The route followed from New York to Chicago will bo the same as that of last May, and among the cities through which the riders will pass are Worcester nnd Springfield in Massachu setts; New York, Albany, Rochester nnd Builalo in New York state; North East in Pennsylvania; Ashtabula, Palnesville and Cleveland in Ohio; Goshen and South Bond In Indiana, and Chicago iv Illinois. Zimmerman nnd Bangor. W. C. Sanger of Wisconsin and A. A. Zimmerman of New Jersey are soon to meet the best riders on the other side of tho At lantic. Although each is a representative American wheelman, nnd although both have covered a mile In time few men have equaled, they go separately nnd in a sense as rivals. Zimmerman has covered a mile with flying start In 3 minutes 64-5 seconds and is probably the swiftest amateur in the world at distances under a mile. San- ger is very fast at any distance up to 10 or 15 miles and claims to have beaten Zim merman lv a half-mile race In Canada last year. Sanger expects to by June 87, In time for the Canadian and World's fair championships. If the two men meet abroad, a lively race will undoubtedly be the result. Zimmerman lias already sailed, and Sanger goes In a short time. A One-logrred Whoetman's Tour. Frank S. Beetlleson, the one legged bicy clist of Syracuse, will leave Ban Francisco May 22 on his wheel and endeavor to cross the continent from Frisco to New York in 100 days or leas. Beodleaon will follow the lino of the Union pacific railroad to Oma ha, thence the Chicago and Northwestern to Chicago. From the latter city he will follow tho route of the relay ride through Cleveland and Buffalo. He is a hardy rider of four years' experience, who has done his five miles in 18 minutes and !I0 miles in the day without much discomfort. He lost his leg in a railway acoideut when 11 years of ago. Beedlcson is hi his twenty-fifth year, is n telegrapher and a member of the Century Cycling club of Syracuse. He will ride a safety and carry about 50 pounds of luggage in addition to an extra set of tires ana a pair ol crutches. Tho International Championships. Chicago wheelmen axe predicting that tho aggregation of foreign nnd domestic bioycling lulent which will race at the in ternational championships in the World'a fair city in August will succeed in lower ing the world's reoord for a mile to 1 minute 50 seconds, and that at least 30,000 people v. ill attend tho races daily. The great meeting will open Aug. 7 and close Aug. 12. John 8. Johnson's alleged mile in 1 minute 50 eeoonds was not accepted by the L. A. W„ and the world's record for the distance is held by W. W. Windle, whoso last trial againat time gave him a mark of 2 minutes 5 3-5 seconds. There was wonder ful record breaking last year, but it seoms hardly probable that'the record the coming seasou will be lowered 15 seconds. fichofleld May Meet British wheelmen believe that if a_y tne lowers the colors of A. A. Zimnterms- dur ing his English tour. J. W. Schofleld. a comparatively new comer, will be the man. Many Brinish wheelmen think that Scho fleld is the fastest man in England today. Tom Boa's long J aunt. On May 14 Tom Roe leaves New York equipped with tho conventional number of legs and will endeavor to reach San Frau oisco in 65 days. ■ Baulk H, EATON. Getting Ovar It.

In 1891 Dahlen played third Base, left field and abort stop, and in 18S cham- pionahip games demonstrated the fact that he waa an all aTcrandploy er of great ability. As a third base man he particu larly shone and closed the seas oil ranking very well' • in batting nnd fielding.
