T James B. Mitchcl, the erstwhile champion
f dU-around weight tosser, broko tho only record
i at tho annuul Labor Day gimes of tho New
j Jersey Athletlo Club at Ilergeu I'olnt yesterday
'?' afternoon. Ills feat was accomplished In the
,'l contest for throwing tbe flfty-slx-pound weight
for height. Mitchcl tossed tho huge weight to
rffi height of 15 feet G3 inches, which is l"s
M- laches higbor than It li.ul over been sent before.
s In tho hammer-tin owlnf contest tho big fellow
f' lost some of his laurels nnd was rolcgatcd to
third placo Instoad of Urst, because his hammer
i chanced to lack eight ounces of requisite weight,
W Xn hie chagrin over this unpleasant discovery
2 Slltchel was unable to again whirl the regula
8 tlon hammer to tho dlstnnco which would have
r retrieved first honors for hi in.
jS Bornard J. Wofors, another stellar attraction
r of tbe carnival, won the hearts of tho spoctators
$ by bis clever performances, although he failed to
i break the record for 1100 yards lu the special
( run scheduled for thnt purpose. Wcfcrs was
, acarcely to blame for his failure, however, ns
jj tbe track was not In tbe best condition for fast
$ sprinting, desplto the fact that the crack nth-
3 letes negotiated the several distances in clovor
, gtjle. The champion mltsed a chutico to fur
V ther distinguish himself when ho relinquished
j but right to compoto In the tln.il boat of the 100
; ard dash. Ills easy win in his triui heat
if algulfloJ that bo stood an cxcollcnt chance of
, capturing the final. Ills Idea in withdrawing
J from the event was to save himself for the
!j record-breaking effort, which resulted unsuo
i cessfuliy.
fi Charley Sulzer'i victory over tho Chicago
t' cracks In tbe final heat of tho short sprint was
S' Very popular wllu tho crowd, bo was his clover
j' performance lu winning tho quartcr-mllu run.
Ills schoolfellow and clubmate, Herbert K.
tllanvel, ulso carried tlio sympathies of the spec
tators for his creditable work In tbo special half.

Js other plucky Jersoylte, Hurry Uusford, was like-

Calms and flcklo brecics nronot conducive to
yachting, and for this mid other reasons the
ntinuul Labor Day regatta of tho Lanhmont
Ynrbt Dub, which waa sailed yesterday, proved
one of the most unlntoristing of the Bcason.
Tho wind nt the start was light from the
southwest and then dropped out and elilf tod to
tho west at tho end of the first round. After
ward there was a calm and the wind enmo In
from the wcsl-southw est, which had just force
enough In It to enable the le-sding yachts to
finish before sunset.
So far ns the racing went tho Colonia walked
over in the schooner class, tho Emerald not put
ting In an appearance. Among tho larger sloopi
tlie Syco again dofeated the Veiicedor, whllo
Harold Sanderson's new HcrrcahoIT Anoatok,
which was built to bent tho Hansdcl and failed,
won easily In tbe SO-foot class, defeating tho
AcuHhla, vorantll., atidSurprlte. The Acushln,
whlih was theonl) bo it besides the winner to
finish, wus becalmed, or she would have done
much better.
In tho mixed class the Korota beat tho yawl
Pawnee, while the Hero boat tbe Mustnuintho
SO-foot class. Among the 'Jo-footers the
Vaquero I. beat tho Hourl, gklmmuug. and
Prlscllln, while the rjhnrk won lu the 'JO-foot
class. The Kit beat the Onaway and Dosorls II.
among the 30-foot cabin cats, while the Win or
Lose waa successful in the smaller class. Among
tho open boat the Lora beat the Dorothy,
Starling, lone, Minnotonoa, and Amos.
There was just wind enough from the south
west nt 11:30 to make a good start for nil
classes. Commodore Rostley, an tbn Colonia,
bad things all his own way, as the Emerald is
said to be out of commission. Tho Amorita did
not come In, so Hklpper Chrl!e Iiarr clapped all
the cant as on the Colonia that she could orry,
and she led the fleet of thirty-four yachts across
the line at 11:30 with the wind oi or her star
board beam and her balloon Jlbtopsall set to
port.
The Syce and Vencedor crossed at the next
signal. 11:40, the former having the bestof the
etnrt bv a couple of lengths. The NTorota and
Pawnee were the next pair, then the Acushln

Indian," and the rcaya In " A Ret Ola Time. "
The new play at tha Lyceum Theatre last
night, entitled Change Alley," gnve vivid 11
lustrations ot the speculative mania in England
known ai tbe South Soa bubble. Fire sets ot
moving pictures were shown. The first was at
Portsmouth aboard an old ship that had been
turned Into a drinking and gambling resort for
carousing mariners and dlssoluto women. Here
Edward II. Sothern, In the character of a reck
less rover from tho oca, was Informed that he
bad fallen heir to o rich estate. Tho second was at
his rural home of luzury.where he gavo a supper
to his county frlonds, nnd was in loro with a
neighbor girl impersonated by Vlrglntn llnrnod.
Tho company was engrossed In the South Sea
speculations nnd had invested money lioatlly
In them. A third was nt Sadler's Wells Gardens,
with a brllllnntly riotous entertainment In
progress, und hero tho nows enmo that tbo bub
ble had burst, and Mr. Sothorn'e entlro fortune
which ho had Intrusted to an attorney, was
wallowed up In the goncral ruin. Iho fourth
was a representation of Change alley,
copied from a painting which prints have
rendered familiar. Here the commotion of a
mobof spcculatlvo losers was shown, and in It
Mr. Sothern figured as being saved from pov
erty by tho faithful efforts ot Miss Harncd and
two other loyal friends. A fifth picture ex
hibited Mr. Sothern'a conclusive peace and hap
piness In a rural environment.
Each of tho Ave acts was complete In ltsolf,
Inasmuch res it illustrated an episode char
acteristic of tho period. Tho stago was
filled in each instance with strongly drawn
figures, who moved in and out of sightly
rooms, gardens and streets. Tho scenory,
by E. 0. Unltt, bad been admirably palntod,
and, until an accident In tho third act, It
was exhibited to Uno advantage. Then tbe
clcctrlo lights went out suddenly, tho curtain
was lowered, and during tho rest ot the
performance gas only was burned, thus dam
aging the tisual effects. But enough of tbe
scenic outQt bad already been properly Illumi
nated to provo what tbe remainder should liato
looked like and to command sincere pralso for
the lavish and artful mannor in which the piece
had been embellished.
" Change Alley " must dopend almost alto
gether for success upon Its pictorial merits, and
these may be reckonod as Including the charac
ters that carry the action. Tbe authors, Louis
In". Barker and Murray Carson, have put a
faint and unlmprosslvc story Into their play.
There nro two pairs) of mutual lovers in it. and
at-drl whose paaaion is unrequited, but thire
nro scant vicissitudes In these affairs,
llttlo to provide desirable material for
Mr. Bothern'a own purposes, and nothing to
mako any of tho principals engrossingly con
spicuous. Thedramatlo element is extremely
weak, sound motives are lacking, and much
kill In characterization goea, therefore,
to waste. Mr. Bothern'a acting waa praise
worthy, and so was that of most of his
str.go companions, excepting that thev were
sometimes too boisterous and violent. Perhaps
that was due to a concerted attempt to force an
interest with matter that was not of lUclf in
teresting. The young ladles of the Gaiety are with us
again. Tbo Gaiety girl whatever they may
exactly be-ls possibly a type not so well
known in New York as In London,
but tho words have already come to
have, through successive importations,
aomo certain significance here. Experience
has shown that the girls from the Gaiety
Theatre that havo travelled so far as New
York aro llkoly to be comely, limber
kneed and tunoful. Their average of good
looks Is high, and tboy havo tho faculty

wicked. But whllo they are Indeed tho former,
tbo latter is a mere assumption w hich they take
on with their rouge. But whatever the Gaiety
girl is. New York has gotten to like her.
Some of those that were seen in "In Town"
last night at tho Knickerbocker Theatre made
their conquests before. One of these waa
Juliette Nesvllle, who remains the same Inter
esting specimen of an Anglicized Frenchwoman;
Maudo HobsoD, who Is as handsome as ever
and as totally indifferent to any other effort at
acting than her own agreeable manners im
part. Marie Studholme. whose good looks are
certain if thoy are wholly British, and Florenco
Lloyd, who still has all of her live feet ten to
display in their original dignity. Among the
comedians. Louis Brodfleld Is th0 best remem
bered. The merits of London musical farce havo
never been so thoroughly appreciated hero as
tbo talents of Its interpreters. Some of them
hat o been entertaining to Now York audiences
only at intervals that were separated
by dreary stretchees of ilulnes". " In Town" is
some llvo years old now. Its jpcecheannd lvrlcs.
touched up for New York by Mrs. M. L. tiylct
arc the work of Tanner and Boss. Its music
'",, hK Qsmund Carr. Its arrangement, like
nil of the pieces that succeeded It, makes no
pretence to anything but extravagance. Since
it was written the form of these pieces
has lmproted, aud "In Town" is not equal
to Its successors. It is drawn out lo a
wearisome length, and tbo vivacious moments
were far npurt. But It had some lively scenes
and its actors wero ablo to add a brightness that
the text and action lacked.
From a spectacular point of view there was
nothing omitted that would have added bril
liancy to the porformanco. Foremost, of
course, were the women, who. in the
first act, presented such a row of beauti
fully gowned, smart-looking girls as the now
kork stage has never seen before. In this re
spect George Edwardes's companies are never
equalled here. Juliette Nesvllle. who has
taken on about, twenty pounds since
she was seen last with "A Gaiety
Ulrl, was hoarse, and her songe ex
cepting one wero omitted. Mlnnio Hunt
was a newcomer who sang with taste and kept
up to the beauty average. SInrie Homaine
did a clevor character sketch ns a call
boy. To Louis Bradtteld fell most of the
mens ..work, and lie carried It capably.
Hut his acting has lost In spontaneity.
I here was a giaieful dancer in llosio Boole, and
un unidentified trio danced vtith the customary
enthusiasm. Tho women should hate been
lift in skirts, for in the eecond act they
were not to far sttporlor to our lo
cal exhibits in the 6umo lino. But the
opening chorus of Gulcty girls Is enough in Itself
to make "In Town popular." That was a
rurely brilliant display of femininity. The ploce.
moreover, had the refinement and linlsh which

"A Bachelor's Honeymoon" was a highly en

Then, before tho first of its three acts

A hirel-wotking, industrious woman, active, nnil to all outward appearances healthy,
a woman used to doing all the work about her home and sometimes roing out to service,
relates that when she lived at Oyster Bat, Long Islantl, ami especially on ironing day
when confined to n hot laun-iry, she would often become faint, a condition usually pre
ceded hy a shortness of breath. At times she could barely keep up to come out into
the fresh air to refresh licrtclf. After she moved to New York, t!ic shortnes', of breath
affected her when wotking in aclosc loom or after climbintr stairs. At one time, while
so tuUcring, she was recommended to try some Kipans Tabulcs. The improvement
in her breathing was such that she felt greatly relict ed nnd she now keeps the Tabulcs
alttais at hand, and since she has done this she sats ihat the faintness lias not been
noticed and she can now readily climb stairs or work in a close room without an) cf
the s)mptoms of distres which fotmerlv oppressed her. When this experience was
related to a physician who is familiar with Ripans Tabulcs, he laid: "The Tabulei
are not advertised to cure faintness nr shortness of breath, and my imptession is that
the sjniptomi referred to were caused by the stomach being distended with gas, as is
sometimes to be noted with persons who use vegetable food mainly. Potatoes or cab
bage," he said, "were quite likely to produce such a condition."

Tho story had a man, whose father had be

maiden sister approved his second marrli gc.
Just married to an actress. Her ho brought
borne, planning to have her win her
way to the sister's affections. But that
scheme failed, nnd learning that he had thrco
daughters was so displeasing news for the bride
as to make more trouble for the groom. Hide is
sues of woe to him grew out of his daughters'
suitors, and from an action for damages by his
wife's former manager ot or bcr broken contract.
Some of theso were not strikingly unlike tbe
incidents of other cross-purposo farces, but in
the hands of II. A. Kennedy. W. J. Ferguson,
JIivx Kcgnlan, Berenice Wheeler and Albert
Bruning they wero continuously amusing.
Then thero were- new devices of ouiicality that
alono weru enough to Insure tbo farco pros

Great vlolonce was Jcommlttcd at tho Third
Avcnuo Theatre yesterday with "A Hot Old
Time," a new farce. The characters banged
each other anil tumbled themselves, and re
torted to all torts of force to compel tho audi
ence to laugh. Tbo audienco did laugh, too, ns
only an east side audienco can when It is
thoroughly tickled. If the actors bad waited
each Unio tbo laughter tnado a dm until it
ceased beforo they went on, tho performance
would have lasted six hours instead of three.
But such delay had been guarded against by
tho simple expedient of hiring actors with
voices so strong thnt they could bo heard abovo
any hubbub that a thousand persons with or
dinury vocal orgnns could misc. John Itav
and Limim Hay, the leaders In tbe east, have
for years been among the moat tociferoua
