ITotcl Castloton. on tho bluff at Bt. 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. This wns done
with f igncd iinwilllngtiehs. ,
To Miss Jesse McXamee. who wns CnptalO- Of
tho Brichtou Blues, and lls Dora VYhUt

If T. Henry French succeeds in renewing his
lease of tho Grand Opera House, ho will pos
sess, probably, tho distinction of paying moro
ront than any other managor in this country.
Yoar by year the Grand has Increased in Its
rental, until now it is an amazingly high
prlcod pleco of property. Mnnnccr French's
present lenso will expire In a fow months. It
Is understood that ho has boon paying dbout
$42,000 a year. Tliore has been nn excellent
profit In tho house, oven nt that high figure but
tho valuo ot tho Grand is pretty well known io
Its ownor. Jay Gould, nnd It Is cortaln that
Mr. French will bo called upon for a reasona
ble Incrcnso when It comes ttmo to renew his
lease. 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. It will be soon that In order
to pay tho lncroasod rent aloho tho man
age mast hav a surety of about
Sl.'JOO out of tho wockly receipts. Tho usual
bidding for possession ot tho Grand is said
to bo in proeross, but at thu now price, it may
bo believed that few will vonturo Into tho con
test Rich Jb Harris, tho Boston managers,
have lot It bo known that they aro after tho
house. They already control theatres in Bos
ton and rjillndelphla. In addition to several
travelling companies, nnd tho prevalent Ide.i
is that they have thoir hands full. It Is likely
that French will retain the Grand, under tho
circumstances. Not long ac 1"c" Harris
nunouneed that they Intended to build a new
thentro on the west sido. nnd tlioy may do so
If they do not obtain possession of tho G land.
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. In tho last net two tumhlors
nnd head balancers perform with great effect
upon tho gallery: but nothing could bn moro
inexcusable than their iutioductlon Into this
essentially sombre btory.
"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. The mot interesting now
face was that of I'ollo Kills, who is pretty and
talented. Andrew Robson. who has rophuvd
J-jweott as V.Vn 7(ooiie,gnvo a strong and vivid
performnnco of his disagreeable role. Tho
scenic effect, tho rustic band, and all thu other
accessories are us good us over.

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. Kxclted
by tho snewmif-ot " Thru Limited Mull " nt Mr.
Gllmore's 'hotis. Miv Vance was emboldened
to declare that-ho thought ho could mnkon
Voryprofltttblethotttro out of it. Mr. Gllmoro
ngeeed-Wlth Mh Vaneo. Mr. Gllmoro bus a
largo Interest Iu tlio Acndomy of Music, nnd
much of his time is occupied with tlio ntrufrn
of that house. 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. Last night all the
Gllmoro employees wore In their old places.
"It will cost Vanco about StiOOO." said ono of
Gllmore's employees. "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.
" I don't know why ho wenkened so soon.
Ho had been vory successful in getting con
tracts with companies to play hero during this
season nnd should ho havo had a jittle more
nerve. Sir. Vance rays nearly $'JoO an hour

Bcforo thoy could got a return mossago Rosa
O. colt was also doclarod a winner. Ryan
made a great kick because ho wasn't paid
promptly and threatened trouble but tho pool
sellers wero firm. Tho result was that nows
was rocolvod ot tho organized effort to beat
tho pool rooms. Ryan and his friend dropped
$1,000. but thoy stood to wln$4.000.
Denver, Jan. il Denver pool sellors nro to

been lleeeod out of about $7,000 by sharps,
who tapped tho wires and sent in false reports
of tho Outtenburg races. It was worked here
by two men who answer to the names ot Porry

"dead gamo sports." Both men aro btruugers
in Denver oxceit in a pool room, und they
worked so neatly that suspicion was not
aroused oven after thn house had boon llcooed
for nearly 3U.0UO. until private Information
wns received from Omaha stating ttiattho

be on tho alert.
A few minutes after the pool rooms wore

that Congress had won. and tho rush Tor tho
