Wic will surely lose faith in the abili-
H ty of the eastern critic to judge of the
merits of a production if this t'.img
keeps up. "The Yankee Regent"
P came to the Salt Lake theatre the
fore part of the week, and proved a
h bitter disappointment, despite the
B certificate of good character given
H it by the critics of the effete cast,
H while "The Alaskan," which was con-
H dcmn'cd by the same crowd, was "all
H to the good," in the opinion of rcsi-
dents of this city. Barring a few
H specialties, "The Yankee Regent" is
H a very tame affair. There arc a few
H passable songs, notably "Childhood
H Days," by Clara Bcrger, who has a
H passable voice but is shy on acting
H qualities; "Dancing Sal," by Lyons
H and his sailors the sailors having the
M long cud of the honors; "Alary Jane,"
H by Elsie Herbert and chorus; "The
H Lillics in the Pond arc Not for Me,"
1 by Toby Lyons; and "The Wishes,"
M by Lyons, Collins, Smith and Bur-
H ton." The last named was probably
M the most popular song of the entire
m performance. A good deal of the
H work of the much advertised ioby
j Lyon was of the low comedian order,
Ht his "unfinished poems" being the
H best part of his performance. The
H chorus was in keeping with the rest
(of the company.
I- Mr. and Mrs. John T. Powers in
j their comedy skit "The Players," and
I the McLinn Brothers, horizontal bar
H artists, arc the favorites at the Lyric
H 1 this week in an array of vaudeville
H talent that is far above that of last
H week. John Walsh, "the man with
H the hod," has also been accorded a
H generous measure of applause from
m the Lyric patrons. Mabell Meeker,
H in a singing, dancing and acrobatic
fl contortion feat; Homer Long, bari-
M tone; Harland and Rollison, musical
B novelty artists, and the moving pict-
M ures, fill out the program, will ' is
m well worth seeing.

It is announced that the "Tom
Show," in which members of the Press
club won fame if not fortune, is to
be revived, the date being set for
December 5, and the Salt Lake Thea
tre, of course, the place where the
celebrated footlight artists will- hold
forth. New jokes and new songs
arc to be sprung upon the public for
the first time, the heavy men of the
company being John D. Spincer,
George D. Pypcr, John S. Critchlow,
II. A. Culmcr, Martin Mulvey, George
E. Carpenter, Ed. .Penrose, George
L. Gciger, M. F. Cunningham, Parley
P. Jensen and Tod Goodwin. It will
sure be worth the money.
"The Heir to the Iloorah," Paul
Armstrong's comedy, is booked for
May 29 and 30 at the Salt Lake ihca
trc. "Ebenezar Fry" is the title of the
latest New York song hit used by

o
THE ROYAL CHEF.
Oscar Ragland in his portrayal of
the role of the Rajah in "The Royal
Chef" which will appear at the halt
Lake theatre the first half of next
week, has received such favorable
comment on the role, and is so identi
fied with playing parts of royalty, that
i would be hard for him to assume
r.ny other role. In his many years on
the stage, ranging from heavy form
of the grand opera to the present
form of light opera, Mr. Ragland
has played no less than one hundred
and twelve sovereigns of different
regions and climes. He has played
everything from an Indian potcn'ate
to the ruler of a race on the moon
Mr. Ragland is of the Italian scnool
of operas and his great strength of
voice and character is shown to a
'marked degree in the second act.

The main sporting event in Salt
Lake this week has been the Nation
al Coursing meet, which is scheduled
to last until November 2nd. Some
of the best dogs in the country arc
entered, and lovers of this kind ot
sport declare that the meet has been
a success up to the present time. A
good many people do not fancy this
class of sport, and one trip is enough
.for them, while there are many who
will not miss a meet if it is possible
for them to attend.
The Sal Lake bowlers opened the

sportsman, has paid $15,000 for the
yearling colt Strike Out, by Griffin

by the horse at the Shccpshcad Bay

quarter in 22 2-5 seconds, and sev
eral horsemen who saw the trial,
among them Duryca, asked for a price
on the colt. Mr. Duryca secured the

.
The practice of "fanning out" base
ball players has been dealt a body
blow by the National Baseball com
mission by a decision of the com
mission to revise the rules governing
sales with options for recall of play- 4g
crs so as to provide that all such op
tions, in cither major or minor leagues
should be made by August 20 01
each year, and the players required
to report at once to the club oxcr
cising the option, with the further
provision that no club could enter
