"The Game of Love." More than half a century asro a play by the brilliant Irish comedian John Brougham, entitled Game of Love," was brought out at Theatre (then in Broadway, rear Broome street), with a cast that included Lester "VYallack. Henry Placide. J. H. Stoddart.

It is still extant but no longer used, and, probably, it would not meet with public favor now. for its spirit Is pure and its mirth is innocent.

The purchaser was August the present lessee. Frederick W. Sperling, who effected the transfer on behalf of Mrs. Conried, the widow, withheld a statement of the amount paid by Liichow.

It was only yesterday that an agreement was reached between both parties. Conried decided that since the properties would he useless without the theatre it was advisable to let them go at a sacrifice." said Mr. Sperling to a Tribune reporter. "The library, which Mr. Conried spent thirty years in rollecttng, was probably the most valuable and indispensable of the theatre's accessories.

It Included copies of all the modern 'ierman dramas, as well as the classic repertory produced nowadays. The texts were especially valuable because they were annotated and all the cuts marked.

i SILEiVCE GIVES CONSENT Quakers Hear and Accept Reports of 214 th Yearly Meeting. In the way they have conducted their yearly meetings for 213 years, Quakers continued their 214 th New York yearly meeting, which was begun on Saturday in the Meeting House at Rutherfurd Place and loth street. The Religious Society of Friends doesn't fight about things. Reports were read yesterday and accepted without a word. No word meant acceptance.

A letter was read from th-? Philadelphia yearly meeting, and thai waa silently approved. The board of managers of the Friends' Home Association elected officers through a committee. George A. McDowell was chosen president, Harry A. Hawkins secetary and John T.

Willets treasurer. Again the silent acceptanca. For twenty years William H. Willets served the meeting as clerk. He Is 111 and asked to be relieved.

The name of James 8. Haviland, of New Rochelle, was suggested by a committee for the place. There wa? the usual wordless acceptance. Routine business matters came up one by one. The assistant clerk.

Miss Amy Willets, sat at the desk and silently noted the reports. Not a ripple of excitement stirred the calm of the gathering as the work of the meeting All of this was in the daytime, with occasional noisy automobiles passing, the rattling of wagons and the distant crashing sound of the Third avenue elevated trains Intruding. At the night a symposium, the Friends called there was a departure due to a departure. Tho Friends In this country have only two paid officers. One Is Henry W.

"Wilbur, of Philadelphia, the general secretary of the committee for advancement of Friends' principles of the Friends' General Conference, and the other Is J. Barnard Walton, associate secretary, who was appointed In August, and who reported last night. He told of his work, which was the establishment of system in the meeting methods of business. He also dad some visiting among Friends and others. When Mr.

Walton sat down, Mr. Wilbur, who was the chairman of the meeting, asked for comments. The work was new, the office was new. and about five Friends wanted to know more about the details, but their questions were as gentle as their religion. Did his efforts more Friends to meeting? He thought they did.

Was there not some danger of professionalism, smacking of the paid pastor? No. Mr. Walton dM not think there was. because he was doing what other Friends did. only more systematically, and helping others to the work also.

There was no criticism. The eloquent, silent pauses spelled harmony. Papers were by Miss Klisabeth Stover, on "Service in Meeting That Will Develop by Mrs. Marlanna S. Rawson, on "The Society's Duty to Its Children to Keep Them in the Society.

and by Henry W. Wilbur, on "The a- of the Society Touching Its Meeting House Property." Mr. Wilbur believed that the meeting houses should be preserved under all circumstances. then were a few momentn of silence and the meeting adjourned. It was said last evening that the more vital part of the business of the yearly meeting would be transacted to-day.

A. Leo Stevens, the aeronaut, was as buoyant as his numerous balloons are after they 1 ascend from the gas works when asked at his home last night whether he and Professor David B. Todd. of Amherst College, would teach the men of Mara the Marconi system from the edge of this world's atmosphere on the 15th of next September. Is the date set for the balloon trip," Mr.

Stevens replied. "I don't deserve any credit for the enterprise. Scientifically I don't pretend know anything about Mars or about talking to whatever beings may be on It. It was like this: "I was a dinner with Professor a few weeks ago. In Massachusetts, and he told ms how he wished he could get far enough up in the air to pick up messages from Mars.

I said that If ha thought ten miles would cut much ice I would go with him. and that I would rig up an serial outfit which would carry us there. We- shook hands on ft, and now It's a sure enough go." The date In September was chosen, he said, baen use Mars would then be nearer the earth. special equipment includes two hermetically sealed aluminum cases, with tanks of oxygen attached for breathing, and speaking tubes connecting one tank with the other: a powerful wireless plant with ten miles of wire trailing down to the earth. in laMf made clothing ot marvellous thickness and an array of navigating Instruments.

"I believe we shall come down alive." said Mr. Stevens, "but ten miles Is higher than man ban ever been. Eight miles Is the greatest height reached, and members of that ballooning party filed from cold and rarity of air. tanks win be provided with glass fronts, as that we can see our Instruments, which will ranged in front. Both Professor Todd and I will begin training for the trip In July.

Wa will tanks of oxygen sent to our homes and will begin breathing it to get accustomed to It. This training will be continued systematically up to time) of ascension." Mr. Stevens said that a preliminary trip In a balloon would taken on June 13 from Springfield. Mass. On June 20 James J.
