George Btntcn Island, stood out In a blare of light lost evening. Within were about one hundred young women, who. with tho nsslstane ot an oqual numbor ot young men, woro trying to domonstrato ono of tho ns yot unproved Soroslan thoorlos that a woman can mnnago a man as well or oven bottor than a man can manago a woman. They came vary near doing It, too. This wns In largo measure duo to tho submlsslvcncss of tho men under clrcumstnncos which wero at times trvlng. About throe years ago n band of young women of Now Brighton organized what they called, or rather what was called, the Brighton Bluos. They met at stated tlmos In tho ballroom at Now Brighton and wont through n half military, light calls tlicniu drill. In this they woro assisted by nn ofllcorfrom Fort Wndsworth. nnd also by tho encouragomeut. nnd ut times possible, by the taunts of tho moro martini sex. From a number of bouicoi they acquired ncrentdeul ot very proper Bolf-rollnnce. und after throe lonr. in which they had tested themselves, they at Inst felt nblo to give a leap year ball. This was thooocaslon of tho biif Hunt fceenes in and about tho hotel last even tug. II wns n leap yoar ball, with everything as It should bo. or ns near as tho originators ot tho idea could make It. Chor the cntranoo to tho spacious ballroom wero two flags, ono a UnltoJ Mates flog, with the englo looking rather curiously at tho sec ond Hug. which was of solid bluosllk. with tho iottera "It. B.'1 In gilt on it Tho letters btund for Brighton Blues. Tho ball-room wns draped as artistically as though no man had ever been around to lntorfere. Tho large whlto pillars each had a solid band of euergreen twined around It to about throo teet from tlio floor. Extending from tho eorgreen to tho rolling wero large red streamers, which fluttered crnccfully ns the dnucors whirled by. Tho chnndcllors wore decked with small pale red ornaments, reminding ono some what of jester-.' enp Around the mirrors nnd between tho windows: In thoeornnrsnnd over tho doors, up and down tho walls hung festoons of evergreen, with here mid there lingo wreaths of holly, with the bright rid berries peeping out from between tint haves. It wn- n brilliant and enchanting place: and when tho orchestra gau forth a favorite waltz and ono of tho Brighton Ulues athnm-od to her cnnquc&t nono of tho geutlcmcu-Udles could resist. " You see thero Is no osenpo hero for a man to-night." said one of the gentlemen-ladies. "If ono of tho Brighton Bliies-Boautlful njioo toa man he gives in on thef-pot. and It lworso still whenn llrlsliton Blue-lirac-nppruaches, for you must follow." There wns llttlo hardship endured by any one. however. Two small slips of nnpertnekod to ndoor answered In plaeo or dance cards. The young women had It all in their heads hut once In a while homo one would forget horIi-t..-inU thero was n supposedly conscientious search for tho missing pirtncr. When itc.imo totnklngtho gcntlomen-lndlcs to tho largo punch tiowl lllli-tf with Icmonndn, the liuly-uentlemi-n told the gontlemen-hi(IIo they mugt help Ihemsehes.

Forsons who say they know tho facts insist that tho new lenso will bo mado on tho basis ot about $52,000 a year, an advanco of 810,000 ovor the old rent As the annual sea son at tho Grand averages about forty-four weoks tn tho year.

Thn enst shin, theatres at popular prices, nn ong which Mblo's must now be counted, have fronted by tho shut p Weather, and this week's audiences havo ticon largo all around. Tho 1'oonle's change has been to melodrama in the familiar shape of " A Royal Pass," which ootnes buek to town, however, with ono now and nobildy eiIeetlo realism. This Is a raco between two locomotives, both of them solidly built and close copies of tho real iron things. Whllo ono engino rushes on the stttgo with much spoed, carrying nn enctnoor nnd thu two lleclugUInlnsot tho play in tho cab, tho hero Is soeu clinging to the rear of the tender. The conspirators put up obstruction on tho track, intending to wreck the second one no. which Is fust galniuc upon them, but thu hero, of course, removes the danger just n tlio socondensino comes up'aifd.goos'iiy triumphantly. All the time snow Is softly faldng. and tho scenery Is rushing by In very natural fashion. Anything so cleverly pic tured as this scene Is must stir tho Peo ple's audiences Immensely. Thero has beon n great uproar overy night whon tho engines hnvo finished their ruce. The hero in "A Royal l'ass" is Goorgo O. btuley, a Western actor with nn attractive per sonality, a good singing voice, nnd a capital Swiss ifinlect At tho Windsor mirth and inusto reign this week, with the rotund nnd vocif erous Ueorgo W. Monroo as tho central flguro In "Aunt BrldgefB Bnbv." Monroe's Infec tious laugh, his assumption of coyness, and Ids respectable mimicry of an elderly female, nro points in his -4unf lirviael which never fall to cause laughter. The Windsor's crowds hnvo warmly greeted him. Tho farce itself, whleh Is bottor than the general order of variety comody. Is mado fresh for its return to town by tho Infusion of now nnd timely music. Tho cast also contains several unfamiliar actors. Mblo's offcrine. "Master nnd Man," has been on at least half n dozen city stages within the past year, and so it has no advantngunf novolty: but itls still mado valuable and Interesting by tho earnost and admirable jiorformanco of Doinlnlck Murray as lluuipu Lojciii. Marguerite Feuloy Is A now and acceptable Impersonator of the heroine. Like nearly nil current melodramas.' special ties "havo found their way into thewobnnd woof of tills piny.

"Bluo Jeans" is in evidence again, with bright prospects of n long revival, nt tho Four teenth Hreet. whom Joseph Arthur's quaint nnd amusing comedy opened on Monday night. There were plaudits in profusion, any amount of flowers for tho favorite actors, nnd encores for all tlio strong scenes. Jennie Yenmnni was especially welcome, it seemed, but thero were rounds of npplnuso for Robert Milliard and (ieoigo D. Chaplin.

There hnvo boon plenty of odd happenings In tho hlstmy of Now York thontricals, but nothing moro romnrknblo has boon chronicled In into years than the story of Mr. Timer 1 Vanco's caroer as mnnnger ot Nlblo's G anion. On Monday morning of this wcok Mr. Vnnce found himself tho lessee nnd net I vo director of ono of tho oldest play houses In America hlstorlo Nlblo's. Twenty four hourslnter no had voluntarily relinquished that distinction and was packing his trunks preparatory to quitting a city which scorns to havo boon rather eruol to him. But his brief enjoyment of managerial honors and responsi bilities had not boon without cost Mr. Vnnco wilt probably pay about $8,000 for his ono day's exporlmcct , Mr. Vnnco oom,o,i, out of tho West. Two years ago ho was a telegraph operator In an Ohio city. He wroto n sensational melodrama whloh would doubtless havo attracted no at tention had it not possosscd a " realism." Tho roallsm was a small gold mlno for Mr. Vnnco. yet it was a very slmplo achleveinontfor atolo graph oporator. bocauso It merely represented In vlstblo and flashing letters tho passing of a mossago ovor thu wlrosi Mr. Vnnco had faith tn his realism, and oftorArOilla ho pnt his piny on the road, using his own monoy to float tho venture The pleco enncht thn publlo fancy. Probably Mr. Vanco's aroAtson his Play, which Is called "The Limited Mall." and has also somo very realistic railroad effects in ono act havo beon not far from SJW.OOO tn dnto. Among tho theatres in which "Tho Limited Mall "wns plaved, Mblo's Garden wns nun of tho most profitable. ,Tho fortunos of that down-town house havo beon steadily declining of late years. Edward U. Gilmorp. who has hold tho lease from thn Htowart estatoforu dozen seasons, has failed to make it n remun erative establishment, it Is altogether likely that until tho ndvnnb of "Tho Limited Mall about throo months ago, thero had not been a successful show on tho boards of Nlblo's sinco tho Klrnlfrs ceased to present spectacle thoro. But "Tlio Limited Mall " made n mueh money nt Nlblo's nnd made It so easily that Mr. Vnnqo wns fascinated with n doslru to stay In New lork ail thatlmo. Mr. Vnnco is young and sanguine. Nlblo's has been n loud for Gilmore, but ho Is u hat Is called n good loor. and he has made no complaint, but It had long come to bo known that Nlblo s was In the market. .1 , These wor thooohdttlons when Mr. Gllmoro nnd Mr. Vwldft beeaino acquainted.

Therefore, ho could be lnducod to transfer M Ir-asa of Nlblo's to Mr. Vnnco. Mr, Vance, In tho flush of youth nnd undor tho spur of a tirolltablo engagement nt Nihlo's which was a really remarknblo occurrence all things considered thought that the terms could bo mado equitable, anil by nnd by it wns told that Nlblo's Garden had passed from tho management of Edward O. Oltmoietotltat of Elmer E. Vunce. Mr. Gllmoro. It was ex plained, had sub-leased to Mr. Vance for nn unexpired term, extending from Jun. 1, 18112, to May 1. lWKk Mr. Vnnco, assigning the direction of his road company to his brother, camo to town to ratify tho agreement This was about a fortnight ago. To his dismay lio was informed that the btcwart estate had refused to necept hlni ns sub-lessee from Mr. Gilmore. Mr. Vnnco was unknown to the Stewart os tato, and ho could hot bo regarded as n good risk. Under theso circumstances Mr. Vanco and Mr. Gllmoro woro compelled to mako a now contract which, while It should socuro tho Stewart estate, would atthe samo tlmo onablo Mr. Vnnce to control Nlblo's. Mr. Vnnco paid to Mr. Gllmoro a certain sum. said to bo about $5,000, ns advanco rent, nnd nt once announced himself an manager ot Nlblo's on nnd after Jnn 4. which wbb last Monday. Meanwhile he bad engaged a num ber of companies to play at Nlblo's during this season. The ilrst of these was tho " Master nnd Mnn" troupe, which commenced Its week's engage ment on Monday. It has proved to lio not only tho ilrst. but also the last, of Mr. Vance's "attractions." Tho audience on Monday wns not largo, though it was of gond size, as Nlblo's audiences co. But" Mr. Vnnco was easily dlfcournged. If Rooms. lm Tues day nn 'onmo to the Conclusion that ho wns not likely to make a success of Nlblo's. nnd Mr. Gllmoro released him.

"Asldo from tho rent advanced by Vance, which ho forfeits, ha Is rosponstblo for this week's advertising con tracts, for n numbor of bills for now printing, nnd for several other Items of expense.
