the Instructor of the club, has decided to make a change this spring in the training of the candidates for the team. Heretofore the men have worked hard In the club gymnasium for several inontus, then about the 1st of April they would be taken out to the training quarters at the A. C. Park on Canal street, where five weeks' time -Quid be passed in putt-cg on the finish-lug touches and getting the athletes into the lest possible condition. This year a different plan will be pursued aud a somewhat new system Inaugurated.

This system was first fro-posed by Trainer James Lathrop, of Har-Tard University, and wis tried last fall with the candidates for the football team. i.he result was that the eleven Harvard men met Yale la the finest physical condition that a football team has ever shown, and from that time nany other large colleges have adapted TIarvard ys-tem. as It Is called. In Lrief. it consists in a reduction of the amount of preparatory work that is to be d.me.

Instead of work-, hi; for months tho men are put in train-'lne for as many weeks. -This year the Yale baseball men ai track athletes have not yet commenced to train, when In they commenced right after Christinas. Prof. Earhart intends to follow thi system to some extent. He will give the men only light work for some lime, aud Lis reduced the period of training at the track from five to three weeks.

He also will give the men lei-s alcoholic baths, as he thinks they may have proved to be weakening in their effects In the past. The loss of Bering will cause a big gap In the rank of the and some hard work will have to be done by the dark horses" In order to develop a winner who can hold end up against the runners from the other ciul.

Lottie Collins raau opera tioase, James iierne "Shore Acres" was pre- sented last night at the Grand Onerst House for the first time ia this city. The audience was a large one and.

from its ac- tions, enjoyed the performance. The play has well known here for some time. but only by name and reputation. It is mors aa dyl than a play, showing four scenes from the lives of a curious oid- fashioned people living on the coast of Maine. Just as "Alabama" and -In Mix- aoura" were sectional pictures, so is "Shore Acres." There is running all through the play a quiet, natural sent! ment that makes itself felt.

The perfume of the bayfleids, the salt breeso of the ocean and the odor of the roast turkey seem to pervade the theatre. There is no villain In Suore Acres" to mar its completeness. It takes the listener right into the midst of itseCT and for the while tnBiea a member of the Eastern shore family. Briefly the story of "Shore Acres" is as follows: Shore Acres is the name of a farm on the coast of Maine. It is owned by two brothers, Nathaniel and Martia Berry, or rather by Martin, for the eider brother has given up his share.

There is a sort of understanding between the men that the farm is not to be sold, because their mother ia buried there. Mama has a daughter. Helen, who is in love with Sam Warren, a young physician, who, by his modern ideas, has earned the distrust of his neighbors. Martin does not like him and favors the suit of Juah Blaae, the old postmaster. A til i 1 1.

If one may judge from the volume and character of tne applaute which reward- ed the efforts of the Liliputians last night, tae St.

Charles Theatre should be well hi led every night this week, as tnere can be no doubt that the organization as a whole made a verv pronounced hit. To say thtt the performance was in any sense a great one would he to consiaeraoiy overstew the bounds of accuracy, but for a performance in which the leading parts were plaved by dwarfs, it was without doubt something to wonder at. The en-I tertaiumeut Is one that will be sure to catch the nonular fancy, thoush a little softening down In r-ne or two of the scenes which approach perilously near to the limit of positive vulgarity would make It more nonular as tar as or- leans audiences are concerned, to say the lea3t of it.

Miss Lottie Collins, for the honor attached to the original public rendition of the triumph of modern operatic art, "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye, has come to town with silver buckles on her knee and is flash. ng them in the glare of the foot- light, and churning the atmosphere into eddies and whirlwinds. This lady is a flash, a gleam, an electric spark. She has the animal spirits of a stage sea cap- tain, the energy of a mink, tte activity of an Alpine goat and the cachinnatory fae- ultles of aophomoric Vassar. all of which seemed gratifying a large audience that gathered within the sacred precincts of the Academy of Musio last night nd pad.lled their -bands together till the sick lady on the drop curtain was disturbed in her nap.

Ktactly what Miss Lottie Collins' per- formance might be. called wou.d be dim- cult to say. The technical lore of the drama provides no definite term of Ilea tion for so bizarre a programme of amisement as is furnished by the pres ent tioupe. On the printed programmes It Is referred to as "Lottie Coins' Trou badours," which sems to meaa that it is an Intermediate stage in the evolution of farce comedy. Lacking the pretended thread of continuity which dignifies such triumphs of the drama aa "Duffy's Blun ders" and "Whack Wid Yer Club, it may perhaps best be called a vaudeville.

A programme interspersed with bright specialties in which I.ttie Collins shines like the red in a church window is given just a dash of dramatic spice by two abort curtain-raisers, one musical, the other unmusicaL "The Fair appears to be a skit on connubial Idiocy, 1 11 1111 111 .71101 1J cmuauiK, vine 11 I UllW it. .1... kn. u.h. comes to be analy.ed it is perfectly evi- Ms marvelous what spirit Is iu a sofa.
