Both organizations aro largaly of u social

for ChriBtmas. Sho hod amassed tho formid
able hum of $70, which sho carried about
with her in her pocketbook, after tbo manner
of her kind. Miss Croly plays a diminutivo
part at tho Lyceum Theotro, and on reaching
that bouse on Wednesday, sho discovered to
ber horror that hor poikotbook was gono.
Miss Croly is very young to the profession,
uh she might have Known that lost pocket
books are occasionally oxtremely useful to
actresses, nnd next to lost diamonds arc most
desired for advertising purposes.
Mibs CrqlywHS wild with voxation. Sho
bud told every member of tho company
strictly in confidence and after begging each
not to tell the other of tho enormous sum
shn bnd saved.
Miss Croly's loss was tho only thing talked
about. Last night whilo tbo members of tho
company were in the green-room between tbo
acts of ' Tbo Wife " Manager Frohman en
tend with a policeman, who so tbo joyful
intelligence W( nt hud found tho pocketbook
with its littlo board.
" How did you know it was miuo?" asked
Miss Crolv, ecstatically, looking as though
hbo would like to testify her grntitudo to tho
policeman by fervently unbracing him.
Tbo guardian of the pence opened tho
pocket-book and pulli d out a enrd on which
was written: "Tho Wife. Call for changes
in Act I. at 11 A. M. Thursday."
"You seo, miss," he said, chuckling with
satisfaction ut his own acumen, "I'm somo
thin' of u theatrical fellow myself, or may bo
I wouldn't bnvo understood them words. I
might bo 1 he! bnvo thought tho curd be
longed to some young blood a-goin' to call
on somebody's wife," (hero ho was convulsed
with laughter ot his own wit) "or that tho
monoy had boen saved by some ono who was
going to buy n Christmas present for his
own."
"Thanks, so much." oxclnimodMisH Croly.
"You seo, miss "ho vvns still pleused with
himself" I'vo been an nctor myself t was
onco on tho stago for tbo Grand Army of tho
ltopublic, ho I thought that you folks hero
might know somethin' about tbo card, as

When tho next act opened littlo MIbs Croly

roporter in his handsomely furnished office
this morning pleasantly ongagod in reading
tho muny congratulatory letters which aro
Btill pouring in upon him from sporting
mon all over tho country.
His attention was called by tbo roportor to
tho cablo message in this morning's World.
.which stated that both Kilrain nnd Smith
had agreed that thoir recont battle should
stand a draw.
" Yes, I'm surprised at that," said Mr. Fox.
"It's ngainBt my ordors, but I supposo it
couldn't be bellied,
" There's another matter that I wish yon'd
sneak of," ho continued, " and that is about
tho impression which oxists in tho minds of
somo that I'm merely n supporter of pugil
ism. That's not true.
" I support und do my best to furthorovcry

I have siient over $100,000 in trophies con
tested for with oars, on bloyclCB, in tho ball
Hold, tho ring and on tho track, and, more,
ovor, I havo nover bet or gambled cent in
my life."
When Mr. Fox was nskod his opinion of
the respective merits of Kilrain and Sullivan
ho unhesitatingly answered:
"Sullivan is, without doubt, thobcBt man
in tho world with gloves, but ho has no
chnnce with Kilrain undor tho London prlzo

tho high collar, cigarettes and attar of roses,
and occasionally all tho members of a family
as pupils.
Charles A. Dana, who is qulto an expert on
tho green broadcloth, has taken lessons in
termittently for many years, nnd his pro
ficiency is tho result of tho tntologe of
Gamier, Slosson, Maurice Daly, Dudley
Kavnnngh nnd other tutors.
Nicolmi, husband of Patti, alwayB included
a billiard table among tho accessories of his
household everywhere that ho and his war
bling wifo sojourned, and both he and Patti
woro players and took lessons of Joo Dion,
Georgo Slosbon, "Wizard" Shaoffcr and
others.
Muurico Daly taught Orvillo Oddio, who
won in tho amateur championship contest at
tho Itncquct Club lnst winter. Undoubtedly,
Oddio will again go into training with bis
tutor as a preparation for tho coming tourna
ment of tho Bamo club.
Ex-Secretary Bontwell was a pupil of
Mnurico Daly. Tho Lorillards, Pierro,
Georgo and Louis, Courtlandt Palmer and
most other clubmen of any ambition hove
Bpent their money for tuition in tholfoscinat
ing social gamo.
Col. " Bob " Ingersoll is an expert at tho
gamo. Ex-Scnator William B. Woodin, of
step-ladder famo, nnd mostothermon of note
nnd brains enjoy pounding tho littlo balls over
tho green cloth.
Mrs. Longtry enjoys tho relaxation from
hor usual cores in playinp; billiards. Thoro
nro many ladies' clubs in tbo city which
employ tutors who initiato tbom into
tho mysteries of tho gamo. Prof. John
Decry, who wos a beardless youth in
1R08, but took part that year in tho famous
Billiard Congress at Irving Hall, has a num
ber of classes of ladies.
If Shakcspearo was not guilty of an an
achronism, Cleopatra was familiar with
billiards, nnd certainly tho fair half of crea
tion could find much less rational amuse
ment, for it is estimated that an averogo
player walks ono niilo whilo ploying a game of
twonty-fivo points with throo balls or thirty
four points with four bolls on a toblo 5 by
10 feet in dimension. In making; tho various
shots tho player must necessarily bring at
times each and ovory uiubcIo of his body
into piny, whilo the intricacies of tho gamo
force brain activity, nnd tho player with tbe
best brain and nervo usually wins.
" It is difficult to say nrbitrarily how many
lessons make a player," said John Decry.
" It all depends on tho player. Most pupils
at first play before and after tbo lesson until
thoy aro tired out. The lesson is usually ouo
hour, and ten constitute n course. Very few
pupils finish tho courso. simply because they
get tired of playing with tho sumo person.
Wotooch as rapidly as possiblo all the
' points' of tho gamo, tho ' side stroke,'
'draw, 'follow,' 'rail nursing,' 'masse,'
' kiss shots,' and so on. Most pcrsonB desire
only to learn to play as a social accomplish
ment, and with no idea of becoming experts.
" It's difficult to hay how much it costs to
learn, but it is safo to say that any player
who is materially better than tho average has
spent a small fortuno in becoming bo."
" Gentlomen " affect a hougbty disdain for
"marbles," as thoy term the declining craze,
fifteen-ball pool, although the older of tho
"old boys "hove cot up quito a revival of
iiockot billiards, which thirty years ago was
mown as " tho American gamo," in contra
distinction to "French caroms," which
wos then making its bow in Yankee laud.
But America, with its baseball, Bhould make
no effort to steal away tho honor of popular
izing billiards, for it is of tho French
Freuohy.

In its report on 'the military and nnvnl
bands a special comraitteo of tho Musical
Mutual Protective Union gives some very
funny and interesting facts regarding tho
" outsido " engagements mado by tho bands
stationed at tho West Point Military Acud
omy. tho Brooklyn Navy-Yard,; Fort Hamil
ton, David's Island and tho Naval Academy
at Annapolis.
Tho Musical Union is taking steps to
abolish this interference with its members'
legitimate business by tbe soldier nnd Bailor
musiclaus wbo rcccivo pay from tho Govern
ment and fulfil outsido engagements at rates
fur below those which tho citizen musician
requires in order to obtain a decent liveli
hood. In a list of tho engagements of theso Gov
ernment hands lost summer it appears thnt
tbo local assembly of tho Knights of Labor
formed by tho Hamilton nvenue street-car
men employed tho baud of tho Fifth Artil
lory, composed' of ten men, and paid them
$30 for music furnished at a parade and pic
nic. Tho roto of a bund of tho samo nunibor
of civil musicians for tho sumo music would
havo boon ,CC.
Tbo Musical Union looks upon an engage
ment liko that as rather inconsistent on tlio
part of a labor organization which is attached
to tho great order of tbo Knights of Labor.
Numerous othor iubtunces aro montioned
in the committee's report vhoro tho military
and naval bunds furnished music last summer
at ono-third or one-half less than tho rates of
civio bauds. Threo mon of tho United States
bteoniorNevv Hampshire at Newport, wero
engaged to ploy at the Gladstone Hotel at
Narrogansett Pier for 10 for an evening.
The report also tells how nrmy and navy
musicians aro engaged. Leaders of sucli
bands rank as sergeants in tho army, and two
of tbom aro known to bo members of tbo
Musical Union of this city.
Members of a Government bond aro en
listed as privato soldiers with tho under
standing that they will bo enabled to add to
thoir regular pay by performing at resorts
and balls, picnics, parades and parties. Tho
adjutant of n regiment outranks a military
band leader when it comes to a question of
tho stylo of muBio to bo played, and that
autocratio individual often assumes his
superior authority and lays out tho pro
gramuio for his subordinates of tho regi
mental band. Ton per cent, of tho outsido
earnings of a military band goes into a regi
mental fund.
Tho committco finds that tho United Statos
Army regulations forbid tho enlisted bonds
performing outside of Government reserva
tions, the same as army tailors, bakors, shoe
makers and othor tradesmen aro forbidden
from plying their vocations outsido of the
corps that they aro attached to. Army sur
geons aro not nllowed to practiso among
civilians oxcept in cases of emergency,
Tho Marino Band at Washington controls
noarly all tho outsido ongagomonts for music
in that city, and it is undor tho patronago of
tho Government.

Williams, O'Brion and Roborts, tho threo

from tho Appraiser's Department of tho Now

in tho colls in tho basement of Police Head
quarters. Thoy awoke early this morning and nto a
hearty breakfast of steak, eggs, fried pota
toes, coffee, and warm rolls, and woro left in
their chilling loneliness to await Justico
Duffy's pleasure at 2.30 p. m.
Thus far tho detectives havo failed to se
curo any tangiblo evidence to faston guilt
upon "Handy Andy" Itobcrts, although
they aro fully convincod that tho professional
forger is tho head and front of tbo conspir
acy. O'Brien, who could furnish the ovi
denco to sccuro tho conviction of ltoberts,
positively refused to tnlk and is willing to
boar his shoro of imprisonment rather than
" squeal " noon a partnor in distross.
Collector Magono during a long conferenco
with Inspector Byrnes said: "Tno ends of
justice demand that tho thioves shall bo
drought to grief ; but it is equally important
that tho cloud of suspicion over tho heads of
innocent clerks in tho Government employ
should bo lifted. If there is a guilty part
nor in tho Appraiser's dopartmont ho should
bo npprehended at onco, so that others wbo
are guiltless shall no longer bo under suspi

Maurice J. Houlihan, Chiof of the Customs

Jack O'Conner is a bright littlo follow who

not prevent bis teeth from chattering when
tho thermometer is flirting with zero, and
oven though ho did win n big bcok as a prizo
for his exalted scholarship ot St. Patrick's

This morning Jack wandered about head

ran up against Inspector Steers, who said :
" Why, Jack, whore is your overcoat ?"
" Ain't got nono, sir,1' was tho reply.
" But you aro cold, aren't you?"
Y-y-ir."
"Say, Harley," said tho big-hearted In

Tho order was written and given to Jack,
who went to a Broadway olotbior's with it ns

Robert II. Mantell It to play at tho Fifth Avenue I
Theatre for threo weeks, beginning Maroh 12. 1
"Monbars," an adaptation from tho French, will 1
be tho play. I
' ' She, " as seen at Niblo's, will be transferred in I
its entirety next week to Boston, where It will re. Jl
main for a month. The bnslncss during the pres. 1 1
cnt week continues to bo extremely satisfactory. jt
Manager Gllmore says that it Is tho best, for tho,f""' fr
week beforo Christmas, that Niblo's has known for '
a long while. J
Tho present management of the Standard Theatre
aro not taking any risks of " slips " daring the HI
first representation of Paul Kanvar " to-morrow MM
night. Tho company not only rehearse during the fll
day, but are now giving performances each even. MM
ing to wear off those rough edges which lrritato a nl
first-night audience. The posters which announce Wl
the production of "Faul Kanvar, or Anarchy," 1
are glaringly red. " H
Tbo present Casino Company in its entirety will Hj
soon leave for Chicago, where it will present m
"The Marquis." The "Ermlnle" Company la jH
coming back to tho Casino. It Is hard work for I
even the Casino to secure an attraction that comes j
anywhere near "Ermlnio" in popularity. Iln- '
dolph Aronson Is now on tbe ocean with tho Inten.
tlon of searching Europe with tbls end in view.
Prof. Hermann's schemo to possess a Broadway
theatre seems to have vanished as If by the maglo
efforts of which ho is so fond. Instead ot coming
to New York, tho prcstidlgltateur will make a long
tonr through tho small towns of Colorado, Nevada
and California. Ho will bo managed, as usual, by
that energetic gentleman known as; "Mike"
Leavltt, whose favorite pursuit seems to be the
writing of paragraphs about the increase ot bis
legal and theatrical affairs.
Tho play that will succeed "Elalno" at the Mad.
lson Bquaie Theatro la "Heart of Hearts," by
Jones, tho author of "Saints and Sinners." Tho
play Is now being rohearsed by Charles Goghlan,
Mrs. Booth will havo no part In It, tho female roles
being assigned to Miss Annie ltussell, Miss Maud
Harrison, Mrs. Fbllllps and a young woman, for
merly with Gardner's "Only a Farmer's Daugh
ter " Company, who will make ber first appearanoe
at the MadUou Square Theatro.
The professional actors wbo are to ' ' assist " the
students of the New York School of Acting in tho
special matlnoo which will bo given at tho Lyceum
Theatre this afternoon do not seem to bo happy. ft
Said one of them: "I am considerably cut up H
about a mutilation of A Winter's Talo ' by the Q
directors of the play, Mr. Belasco and Mr. Bar- H
gent, by which the professional gentleman who N
havo by request volunteered their services aro II'
made to appear to great disadvantage. It Is rather 1 1
anlnju.tlco tout." Tho matineo promises to be jl
very Interesting. Besldoa Act IV. of "A Win- &
ter'sTale," Mre. C. A. Doremnv's adaptation of
Mollcrd's "Eos Prfclcuacs Hldlculea" will bo I
given. 1
The negotiations between ltcnry E. Abbey and
Mrs. James Drown Potter, when they were first
begun, simply contemplated a number of special M
matliuen, which were to bo given at Wallack'a
Theatre. It Is said that tho Idea ot theso extra H
roatlndes was entertained by Mr. Abbey with ihe H
view of keeping Mr. Bellow busy, as that Baccha.
rlno young man will be thrown on Mr. Abbey's BJ
hands on April 1, when Mrs. Potter's engagement H
with Mr. Miner terminates. It Is now probable H
that Mrs. Potter will be with Mr. Abboy through.
out the next season. Tbe lady lhas a new play, H
which was written for ber by Blms, whose ' ' 'Ostler
Joo "she brought into prominence, Mr. Miner was fl
tnxlout for ber to produce this plsy while under jfl
his management, bat up to the pres in t Mrs. Pot. jfl
ter has declined to do this. It Is thought that a

Mrs. Fotter and give ber a chance to do well wlta S
