(BY LESTER A. WALTON.) MONDAY evening, August 11, it destined to be historic in the annals of colored theatricals, when a stage oerformance will be given at Manhattan Casino under the auspices of The Fro which will be extraordinary in more ways than one. On the bill will appear the most glittering array of colored talent ever assembled, headed by the stars of the colored theatrical profession. The appearance of Bert A.

Williams and Aida Overton Walker OB the same stage during the evening will be a noteworthy event. Such prominent performers as S. H. Dudley and the Kemps will help make the evening the biggest and brightest the public has seen for a long time. Through the courtesy of Klaw Er-langer, Bert Williams will take an active part in the performance as an entertainer.

It will be the first time Mr. Williams has played before an audience composed principally of colored playgoers for many years. For some time past efforts have been made to get the great comedian to participate in some of the entertainments given by The Frogs, but all attempts have been fruitless, owing to his absence from the city with some theatrical organization. After August 11 the possibility of seeing Mr. Williams under similar conditions will be remote.

Aida Overton Walker has kindly con sented to appear on the mammoth bill, and her presence will help to make the entertainment one to be long remem bered. Miss Walker is deeply interested in The Frogs and in the objects of the widelv known organization. George W. Walker, her late husband, was the first niiHi-n nf The Frotrs. There is a Dossibility of Miss Walker and Mr, Williams doing a turn together just for old times' sake.

S. H. Dudley, the popular comedian of the Smart Set Company for the past eight or nine years, will temporarily lay aside the affairs of his new vaudeville circuit and come to New York to show that he is as funny as ever. Others who have announced intentions of taking oart are Julius Glenn, leading comedian of the Black Patti Company; Bobby and Mae Kemo. Henry Troy, Alex.

Rogers, Henry Creamer, Harrison Stewart, An drew Copeland, Jesse Clipper, Wilbur Sweatman, the Porto Rico Girls, with Maggie Davis and Louis Saulsbury; Harper and Gillam, William Robinson of Cooper and Robinson, the Sambo Girls, with Edgar Connor; Hodges and Launchmere, Kelley and Catlin, Sam Lucas, dean of the colored theatrical profession; Wesley Jenkins; a scene from "The Old Man's Boy" by the Negro Players; a special grand production from a famous colored show; Jesse A. Shipp with a cast of stars in the Lime Kiln Club; Charles H. Gilpin, W. Vodery and the Exclusive Society Orchestra, under the direction of James Reese Europe. The advisability of securing a theatre to give this extraordinary entertainment was first considered, but it was finally concluded that in view of the exceptional bill to be presented it would be best to select Manhattan Casino, thereby enabling hundreds to witness the performance who would find jt impossible to secure admission in any of the local theatres.

At the Manhattan Casino the price for general admission can be put at fifty cents. Dancing also can be in- dulged in after the performance. Jack Johnson en tho 8tago. i t.i -hamnirvn SICK IOI1IISU11, IMTJvigi of the world, is appearing in the revue at the Folies Bergeres, Pans, france. where he is throwing a medicine ball and.

boxing four rounds. From the stage he announces that jaiaw is deposited at the box office for any him for ten rounds. There have been no aspirants for the $5,000 to date. Johnson opened his engagement at the Folies Bergeres filling the va- roues ucrgc cancy made vacant by reason ot tne absence' of Anna Held, who was in- jured in an automobile accident. The colored fighter is a big hit Ceout in rans mc of the New York Sun says: The theatre was crowded, but few Americans were present.

Johnson got a hearty welcome. Jonh- son accordln gto Joju'ar report to receive 11,200 a night, which is probably a good investment for the management. He will remain for the eleven nights until the theatre closes, when he will make a tour of the provinces. Johnson wore an American nag around his waist, which will need considerable reduction In size be-, fore he can go Into a serious rinij battle. His white wife was one of the keenest spectators from a stare box until the final scene, when she Joined the fighter on the aw.

She wore a white evening divs and a straw hat The couple did a turkey trot for a few minutes, anil fiie audience seemed to enjoy this more than Johnson's previous -xhiM-tlons.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT i LINCOLN8 WIN SERIES. HE Lincoln Giants and the Ameri- I can Giants of Chicago were to have met in a five-game series for the colored championship. But three games were pibyed, as the managers of the respective teams spent the rest of the time arguing. The Lincoln Giants won two games and the American Giants one. Last Thursday a large crowd was on hand to witness the first contest, which never materialized.

Pitcher Wickware of the Mohawk Giants was the bone of contention. It seems that Manager McMahon of the Lincoln Giants went to Schenectady, N. the first of last week and engaged Wickware's services to pitch for his team in the Lincoln Giants-American Giants series. Accord ing to Manager McMahon he gave Wickware $100 in advance for his services. Thursday afternoon before the game was called Manager McMahon spied Wickware all togged up in an American Giant suit.

He inquired of the pitcher why he was not in a Lincoln Giant uniform. Wickware promptly told him that he was going to pitch for the American Giants. McMahon protested to Rube Foster acainst Wickware ulavine on the Ameri can Giants in view of the fact that he had civen him money, but the manager of the American Giants insisted that Wickware do the pitching for his team, The two managers argued for over an hour, when the eame was called ott. Fans inclined to be fair find it difficult to side with Wickware or regard him as a hero. To accept money from one manager and then want to play for another is a piece of reasoning which does not favorably impress those who believe that one should keen his word at all times.

Just such conduct of Wickware's will do much to injure the progress ot baseball among colored clubs. The final game between the American Giants and the Lincoln Giants was cancelled at Olympic Field Tuesday after noon because Kudc roster oojeciea io Earle, captain of the Royal Giants, playing in the place of Cans, the regular fielder of the Lincolns, who was sick. A large crowd was on hand to witness the last contest. The sooner the managers of the colored teams get together and agree upon a working basis for their mutual protection the better. Manager McMahon seems to have developed a habit of borrowing players from other clubs which should not be permitted.

All clubs should carry a number of good utility players which would not make borrowing necessary. "Cyclone" Williams was the hero of the series, winning the two games in which he pitched against the American Giants. In Friday's game, which resulted 8 to 3 in favor of the Lincolns, he would have shut out the visitors if ac corded orooer suDDort In the first game Sunday the Lincoln Giants won, to 4, with Williams in the box. The American Giants won the second contest, 6 to 5. About 4,500 per sons were in attendance.

For there is no one whose keen sytnpatnj and understanding enables him really to depict the condition of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among tht saddest spectacles in European life. As he says "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for wu commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at.

My only excuse is that I wu, in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst I wu hunting for the man farthest down."
