Who can foretell the fate of the acute enthusiast if he were permanently ent cd from tls leasant task of luztruetfng the regu lar scorers the Cue pbl ut the game Hut these momenti us questions f' ie into i ataniScanee when compared with the predicament of the man who get down lheie and play better ball than that myself" It Is therefore with aa intense sigi? of relief the ann'Unrenent i made that ali these exquisite pleasures are reserved to the ball loving portion of the community And what is all the more pieasicc is the additional fact that all the above faaeicating and recreative occupations are to be secured for ju half the price paid here tofore The shallow objection mar be urged that the quality of bull talent will not be so good Aonwuse Will invective heried against the deadly umpire prove less pleasurable to thu architect of the ualeietion because the master of the field has not been appointed by Nick Young or because he ithe um pire) do not strut upon the field in a striking cos tume with red no and birttr eyo trimmings? Will the denunciation heaped on the players sound less melodious because It is not aimed at 4UX) star who are looking out for No 1 and care particulariv what Leecmes of theclub? Will the freqm utty expressed and sanguinary de sire for the annihilation of the entire team bo less relished because the objects of the gory wish are young men who are earnestly endeavoring to earn their salaries uud will not reserve their test efforts until a tempting prize is hung up for them No gentle reader the ex citement will be just as great trie denunciation ns bitter the laudation as iurit in fact erarikism will be just as rarjua'it when thd city was trying to support aggregation of stars There are many good reasons why the new dub will receive uetter tmtroeoga thrn the one that bas eone In the first place the principal support of a ball club is furnished by the masculine portion of the community and by far the greater portion of the spectators at games Is composed of young nenwhoare uuable to make large exneuditures for recreation It used up a large stiver dollar to see a league game of balk Admission was fifty cents grand stand fifteen cents street car fare ten cents score cord five cents and cushion tire' cents If a young man took a lady required That is the true secret of the failing off in the arteartance People i preferred to watch the bulletin boards and thev did so by hundred Cities of the size of Detroit will never support fifty cent ball There are only three cities tn the United States that are equal to It Chicago New York and llostou All the rest are twenty five ceut towns and manv of them poor at lust The drawing ability of Boston New York ana Chicago enables thorn to par the high est salaries aud thus secure all thebest ball talent in the conntrv Unless a halt is called thedoomsday of the noble sport is not far distant I less some such plan as that of the Sporting Life for the reduction and grading of salaries and equalization of playing strength is put in opera tion the national sport will soon be in the eon ii tlon of a door nufl as regards life The policy of selfishness aud greed pursued by the stronger ciul wilt if couiinuetk surely bring the game to ruin But to return to Detroit The new club will start out on a basis of economy Salaries will be com paratively fight and no opportunity to put the team on a solid basis will be missed The result will bo that with a fair attendance the clnb will support itself aud with a large which there is every reason to believe there will be the stockholder widget return on their Investments Vefy many petrous who did no: go to one Nat ional League game a week on account of the dollar will nt tend a couple of international games at twenty five cents each Cneap base ball

tn Lake Erie and will be watched with keen Interest by yachtsmen all around tixo lake Il promises to era a mot icterotior contest and with a god wind will be sailed to a finish There is no reason why yachting should notnourish in these waters No finer placein the world than these lakes can be found for the gratification of the noble sport aud it is to be hoped it will take its proper place in the IDt of water sports Detroit owing to its position and other lecome a center of yachting There Is oue thing that mars the prospect and that is the amount of petty jealousy aud ill feeling that exists Yachtsmen will hare to subordinate thei" personal reelings to the in terest of the spurt before it will be entirely sue cessfuL The standard needs elevating If fox chasing is to become one of the

hauling puslaug with arms legs and caps flying in every iluecticn is ah exulting and certainly novel one Sometimes they wrestle in a compact bedy as described Again they divide into little groups and Indulge in catch as catch can matches All this ground and lofty tumbling was for the possession of a leather covered foot ball which every one of those twen ty two athletes had evidently determined to

the blood and holding of the breath 1 1 is most intensely exciting continuous in action and replete with fine points play It may be explained that the goals in a foot ball gs ne are set at a instance

BOSTON IDEAL OPERA The Perfunusure of ut the Detroit Opera fiou There are few conceptions in literature that can compare in deep human interest with Not only is It a master piece viewed in the abstract as a bit of literary workmanship but it is inve ted with so much of that feeling which we can all understand that it never ceases to interest The story of the unfortunate Mar guerite who love is her death ot aust the old alchemist who sells Lis sou! for youth and of the scheming Mephisto is familiar to all human kind It existed for years as a legend of native laud But he crystallized ll and gave it its setting so that in a measure it reflects the yearuiug universal humanity for love and imtuortullty poem is divided into two pans In the opera which has become so familiar to the people the motive of the first part alone i used Mr Henry Irvine gives the whole poem or rather its drama tization in Lis drama Tho opera is a favorite because the story is so closely allied to the life of nan because it Is so spectacular and because the music is so soulful and dramatic Gounod the rench composer when he wrote the score discovered the soul of the German poem tma his tnusio is the best exemplification of wedded to immortal There could not be a more complex welding of sound and sentiment than one tinos iu Gounod's But although st Is so popular it is one of the most difficult operas to perform The music is so dramatic that the resources of a singer in any of the leading roles are taxed to the inmost Pulcss the opera is well mounted unless the spectacular element is carefully elaborated utiles there ii forcible action and iidciisc vocalization the opera drags aloixr wearily The best productions are given with tile tallet whlcn is a novel feature of the performance If the com pany docs not iy that attention the rpec tacu'ar clement which it merits the ballet is eliminated TLe ballet adds much beauty 'and novelty to the performance At the Detroit Opera House last the Bos ton Ideals attempted to give this oj era The au dience was a large one If an honest opinion Is given there van ix only one verdict that while the attempt was decidedly a meritorious one the performance itself was not up to the standard of the average productions of 1'aust The cast was as aust rank Baxter Me pliisto Clark Valentine HMertens Marguerite Von Jaiusckowskv Siebel Ataliu Claire Martha May Warren The role of aust dramatically and the score of the part is wholly beyond tho capacity of Mr Baxter He wants action in the first place There are plenty of chances for him to infuse lifa into the part by attention to tho details of stage business in the second place hit voice is entirely too fight for the music A dramatic quality of tone is ueees eiry iu order to give ti tenor score i's proper coloring Mr Baxter's singing of tho Behutious in the third act was very weak He cut out all of the high notes gtorv of a good tenor in this passage In the con certed music especially the terzetto preceding the death of Valentino his voice could be heard only with difficulty hen in these concerted pass ages he wished to make his voice effective ho forced it so that it lost nearly all of its musical quality He failed to make the garden scene of interest dramatically and iu tho last act there as business omitted iilcb should not have been overlooked Mr Mer histo was a fair production Tua "Calf of in the fir act was sung creditably but the in the fourth act was not so commend able Mr Clark might have put more spirit in his acting to the adv outage of his role he saturnine effect is gieativ Lightened if tills particular devil und rstamls the value of constant action Mr aleutine was costumed in an original way aud somewhat less fitting than the conventional
