Special Dispatch to the Baltimore )3un.

Hagerstown, Jan. 27. The great slaughter of game In Washington county last gunning season has alarmed those interested' in the preservation of birds, rabbits and squirrels. Mr. Joseph W.

Wolfln-gcr, of Washington county, has had his Interest enlisted and he introduced a bill last week In the House of Delegates which, if passed, will prohibit the shooting of squirrels in June and also keep non-residents from hunting and fishing in Washington county unless they first take out a license, to cost $10. Last summer and fall this section was overrun with sportsmen, gunners and fishermen, from Baltimore, Washington and other cities and the nearby counties In Pennsylvania. A local hunter stated that if the slaughter of game continued for a few years at last season's rate many species of birds, including partridges, would be practically exterminated and that the streams would be depopulated. The bill provides that fines collected for violations of the law shall go to the County School Commissioners. The road supervisors, of whom there are several hundred In the county, are given the same powers as game wardens and deputies.

As the supervisors all live in the country they will be in better position to make arrests than other officers, who live mostly In the villages and towns. Delegate Wolfinger stated that the Potomac river may be exempted from the provisions of the law, as there Is less danger of the large rivers becoming depleted than the smaller streams.

Upon her devices to avoid him rests most of the comedy, which, of course, ends happily in their marriage. The usual second love affair Is that of daughter of the Court Counsellor, Aloys von Mlttersteig, and Leopold von Mlttersteig, her cousin. Miss Haswell, who was the understudy of Miss Rehan during the London production of the play, and who once played the.

part there, was at her best. Mr. Gillmore, as Von Neuhoff, was remarkably good, and both won frequent applause. Mr. Hudson, as the Court Counsellor, and Miss Butler his wife, were also good.

Miss McGilvray and Mr. Lewis, who carried on the second love affair, won their usual success. The scene of the play is laid in Carlsbad. The costumes are remarkably brilliant. Hollldar Street Theatre.

There is always a fascination about anything that is Southern, and the charm that still attaches to "In Old Kentucky," playing at the Holliday Street Theatre this week, seems as potent In this, its ninth, year as in its first. The success of the play lies In its true presentation of life and character In the good old blue-grass country, where the mint juleps and the pickaninnies grow. The scenery is the familiar series of pictures showing rugged nature in the Ke tucky mountains and down In the valley The star role of Madge, the mountain lass, is in new bands this year, and Miss Alice Treat Hunt portrays this character, around which the romance of the play clings, with a freshness that Is pleasing. Messrs. F.

R. Allen, as Frank Layson, George Paine, as Horace Holton, and Charles Brandt, as Joe Lorey, all do good work, while Mr. Burt G. Clark, as Col. Sandusky Doolittle, and Miss Adelaide E.

Colton, as his old sweetheart, carry the comedy features with effect. Auditorium Music Hall. Hyde's Comedians are giving this week at the Auditorium Music Hall one of tho best entertainments that has been on the boards there this season. Crowded houses In the afternoon and at night warmly applauded each number on the program. Trovollo has some exceptionally good novelties in his ventriloquist specialty, and the Four Colbys have an excellent musical act.

Probably the best, of the four is a little tot of 7 years, whose singing and acting are remarkably clever. This little lady's rendition of "I Want to Be the Leading Lady" captures the house. Horace Golden, the Illusionist, performs some wonders that are new here. Other features, all of them good, are: Hughes and Anger, In comedy and travesty; Gracie Emmett in a laughable farce, "Mrs. Murphy's Second Dolan and Lenharr, In a comedy sketch called "Taking Chances," and Hays and Healy, "The Long and Short of It" comedians.

Helene Mora, the female baritone, makes a decided hit this season with her new songs. These are "Alabama," which breathes the melodies of the Southern pines and cotton fields; "Tho Shepherd King," "The Minstrel Boy" and "The Brotherhood of Man." Her voice has lost none of the attractiveness that has made her singing so popular here. Monumental Theatre." The program given by the Jolly Grass Widows at Kernan's Monumental Theatre this week has the merit of containing something new and a great deal that Is better than the ordinary. The "widows" are frisky persons and they keep the fun going trom first to last. The entertainment begins with an Oriental and French conceit in three scenes, called "One Night and Gone," in which some laughable burlesque work is done by the entire company.

The closing sketch, "Are You an Eagle?" reveals some lively doings at the Hilarity Club during a klr-mess. In the intervening olio are Morrisey end Cameron, eccentric song and dance specialists and tumblers Harvey and Moore, in character portrayal and dancing; a spectacular feature called "On Paulo and Dika, singers; Alice Montague and Roger West, In a musical sketch, and "The Wang Doodle Comedy Four," presenting "The Darky Dancing Master." i. 3IR.BCRTON HOLMES LECTURES First Of Four Discourses Has St. Petersburg For Its Subject. With beautiful pictures and clear and succinct description Mr.

Burton Holmes fairly carried his audience to-a land thousands of miles across the sea in his lecture on "St. Petersburg," at the Music Hall last night. To those who have not the time nor means to travel the lecture gave a chance of seeing the scenes In and around the Russian capital realistically reproduced, and to those who have visited St. Petersburg it was a pleasing reminder of what they had noted. Mr.

Holmes has a clear and distinct voice and in a conversational manner he entertainingly described his visit to the Russian capital as picture after picture was thrown on the large canvas. The coloring in many of the illustration's was superb. Moving pictures showing a gather-' ing In Ghetto, an exhibition fire drill, the passing throng, the fish market of Hel-singfors, driving hour on the Palace Qual, the Czar, Czarina and Empress Dowager passing in review, the empresses and escort, a charge by Cossacks, landers, hussars and cuirassiers and other scenes were life-like. The lecture was the first of a series of four Mr. Holmes will give in Baltimpre this season.

The next will be on February 7, and his subject will be "Moscow and Count Tolstoi." This is Mr. Holmes' eighth season. ENGAGED IN HUMANE WORK Society For Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals Holds Annual Meetingr. The president and board of directors of the Maryland Society, for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals submitted their annual report at the annual meeting of the society, held yesterday afternoon in the office of the organization, 323 North Charles street. The society now enters upon its twenty-ninth year and the report says that during the past 12 months, the extent and character of the work and the financial status of the association exceeded those of any previous year.

According to the report 3,058 cases were investigated, 5,102 admonitions, reprimands and advice given, 179 cases prosecuted in the courts, 203 disabled animals temporarily suspended from labor, 94 horses, mules and other large animals humanely destroyed, 4,988 small animals, homeless or disabled, humanely destroyed. Eighty-three per cent, of the convictions related to cruelty perpetrated on horses and mules, and the directors express the belief that acts of cruelty were largely due to apathy and carelessness of owners rather than to premeditated outbursts of passion. The society, the report says, Intends to Introduce a bill at Annapolis -to prevent the docking of horses and expresses the hope that a horse haven may established before the next annual meeting.where the poor man's horse or mule will enjoy much-needed rest with recuperation. The need of an ambulance service is also referred to. Though it derives ho pecuniary benefit therefrom, the society has renewed the contract to carry out the provisions of the dog ordinance with the city, and the progress made in the direction of securing more humane treatment for canines is discussed.

The report gives statistics as to the receipts of live stock over the railroads during the year and adverts to the efforts to prevent brutality In connection with such shipments. The society claims to have reports that there are within Baltimore city limits, 5,475 stables, and the statement is made that regulations are greatly needed to prevent much cruelty and suffering to the animals. A bill to provide against live pigeon trap-shooting and against the practice of coursing or chasing of rabbits with dogs has been prepared by the directors, and the bill will be introduced at the present meeting of the State Legislature. The directors express the opinion that Improved methods for the transportation of poultry are much needed and urge not only road Improvements, but better streets In Baltimore. Branches have been established in Annapolis, Frederick and Cambridge.

In conclusion the report thanks the police of Baltimore and the counties for their co-operation with the society. The following officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: President and Directors Dr. William Whitridge. Mrs. F.

Daniei Keheler, foreman of a gang of laborers engaged In the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel at Ilchester, who was arrested last Friday on suspicion of being Implicated in the death of John Thomas Conners, night watchman at the works of the Patapsco Electric Light and Power Company at Grays, Baltimore county, had a hearing before Justice Bone, at the Catonsville Station House, last night. Immediately after the hearing James Collins, a witness, was arrested as being accessory to Mr. Conners' death, and both men were held for the action of the grand jury, being locked up at Towson. The arrestof Collins, whoisalsoemployed at the tunnel, was due to the testimony of James Fabian, of Grays, who said that he was walking down the river road about 4.30 o'clock Sunday morning and came upon Keheler, Collins and Conners together, the firs: -named lying beside a fire alongside the road, while Collins and Conners were standing. He was positive about the identity of the men, he because Conners held a lantern and he passed within three feet of the trio.

Collins said that he left Elllcott City with Keheler and a man named McGovern between 12 and 1 o'clock Saturday night." Each had about two quarts of whisky and was so Intoxicated as to be hardly able to walk. He said that Keheler fell Into the mill race at Grays factory, where Conners was employed as watchman, and that when he called for help to pull Keheler out Conners responded to the alarm with a lantern. They succeeded in getting Keheler on the bank. Witness, Keheler and McGovern then continued down the river road for about 400 yards and built a fire to keep Keheler from freezing to death. Collins stated positively that Conners did not accompany them to the point at which his body was pulled out'of the river the next day.

The evidence of Mr. Fabian, however, contradicts this statement. Officer Terence Doyle, of Catonsville, testified that he -had visited the scene of the supposed murder, but could find no trace of a scuffle. He offered as evidence a pipe which he found near the water's edge and which Collins had identified as his, saying at the time that he had loaned it to someone In O'Brlan's saloon In Elllcott City on Saturday night. How it was brought to the scene of the supposed crime he was unable to Officer Doyle testified that Keheler had rriade several contradictory statements to him as to his whereabouts Saturday night and as to the route he had taken after leaving Ellicott City to return to Ilchester.

Officer Bradley Scaggs, of Ellicott City, testified that between 1 and 2 o'clock Sunday morning he started Keheler and Collins out of Ellicott City and that he last saw them going in the direction of Grays. Undertaker-Stephen Hilsinger, who embalmed Conners body, testified that he found no water In the lungs and stomach. The absence of water in the lungs, State's Attorney Grason explained, was proof that Conners was dead when he struck the water. Hilsinger said that he discovered a slight swelling on the left jaw. Several of the most Important witnesses, it seems, were not summoned to testify at the hearing yesterday.

It Is said that at least three persons residing on the side of the river opposite to where Conners body was found heard cries of "Murder!" about 5 o'clock Sunday morning, and these persons will be subpoenaed. Keheler and Collins were taken to Tow-son last night by Officer German and locked up In the jail there. State's Attorney Grason conducted the prosecution. Many Conversions. The protracted services at Phoenix Methodist Episcopal Church, Monkton circuit, which closed Sunday night, resulted In 25 conversions.

A similar service is being held at Cedar Grove United Brethren Rayville circuit, and 24 conversions are reported. On account of the success that has attended the three weeks of union service held at Towson by th congregations of Towson Methodist Episcopal Church, Calvary Baptist Church and Epsom Methodist Protestant Church, it has been determined to continue the meetings this week by the Methodist Episcopal and Methodist Protestant Churches.

1 Suburban Personals. Miss Nellie Olive Pitts, of Cockeysviile, is spending the week with her aunt, Mrs. Jennie Emig, of Arlington. Rev. Richard N.

Edwards, junior pastor of Hereford Methodist Episcopal Circuit, Is BEGAN WITH A FORTY FOOTER Friendship Of Yachtsman Chapin And A. Cary Smith, Deslcner New Craft To Be ISO Feet On Water Line In the spring of 18S5 Mr. Chester Chapin called upon Mr. A. Cary Smith and told him that he wanted a yacht 40 feet long for cruising service in Florida waters.

He required the boat to be shallow and yet to keep the sea reasonably welL "And as yon do not know me," "added Mr. Chapin, "here's the money for your work." When the plans were completed the boat was considered too small for Mr. Chapin's purpose and they were laid aside. In their place there were produced the designs for a schooner yacht, 55 feet deep on the load water line and three feet draft. That vessel was built and named the "Whim.

pleased Mr. Chapin and was well adapted for the service required. This was the beginning of an acquaintance be-x tween the designer and the "Whim's owner that ripened into the strength of friendship. It was also the beginning of work by Mr. Smith that has culminated In the production of the new schooner, the Meteor, for the Emperor cf Germany, now approaching completion In New York harbor and which will be launched on February 5 under pleasant International conditions.

The Second Step. The Whim was followed by second or- der from Mr. Chapin. That was a schooner 80 feet on the water line. The "Whim had done well upon the suggestions of her owner, but this time he concluded that the designer should have his way with both, the model and the general dimensions of the new vessel.

The schooner Julia was the result. The Harlan and Hollingswortn Company, Wilmington. DeL, built the yacht, the only agreement being that 10 per cent, should be added to the cost of materials, labor and tools required. Immediately after completion the Julia went to the West If. nnXn fnAVAncinW A 1lf, and raced ner in tne regattas or me aw vi-v ToaTi t- nn xntiTilns' a fair nntnlwr of prizes.

She was sold to Mr. Jefferson Coolidge, of Boston, who changed her name to the Iroquois. As the latter she became famous. She was caught off shore in the -r' terrible blizzard of March, 1SSS, and went through the serious ordeal uninjured. Her skipper was a deep-water sailor.

The clouds hours before told him of impending danger and he prepared for It. The vessel was stripped to fore and main trysails and a drag was placed over the bow. Fifteen minutes after the cyclene struck the yacht her foretrysail was hauled down and there was nothing else to do but to hold .....4 Ytn. Proved Stanch And True. The yacht stood the test nobly.

Mr. Smith had planned better than he knew And tiQ TVi Ttyi In rtrt-n tinllrtr hnri PfinaHpn- tlously done their work. For 30 hours the Iroquois was "hove to" in that mad gale and troubled sea. With daylight came slight relief, but the crests of the waves were still being blown over mastheads and froze as they struck. The drag chafed off and the skipper found that the yacht worked better without it.

Then the fury of the gale moderated a trifle and the skipper determined to run for It. the boat fell off on a big sea the helm was put up, the trysail sheet slacked, and, playing off. the Iroquois scudded before the wind like a gulL Hours after there was a further dropping of the wind, when the foretrysail and the forestaysail were set, and, under this short canvas, she made steamboat speed and was not again In serious trouble. It was in this gale that the yawl Cythera, having her owner. Commodore W.

A. W. Stewart, of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, and C. Smith Lee, another leading amateur yachtsman of the time, on board, In addition to a large crew, went down, and not a trace of yacht or men was ever found. The Third.

One year before this Mr. Chapin had decided to build a third schooner yacht. He wanted to cruise off shore and go abroad in his own vessel. His? order was for a boat 110 feet on the water line. Otherwise Mr.

Smith was to have a free hand. The result was the Tampa, 133 feet over all, 110 feet water line. 27 feet beam, 13 feet 3 inches deep and 13 feet 7 Inches draft. She was an enlarged Iroquois, with modifications and changes to suit the length of the boat. Her builders were also the Harlan Hol-lingsworth Company, and the same conditions as ruled with the Iroquois were agreed to in the matter of cost.

Two better ves sels, as far as material and workmanship are concerned, were never turned out. Both have stood the pounding of terrible peas on countless stormy days and dark nights, and never developed a weak place in their construction. Best Of The Number. When the Tampa was given a trial down New York bay and It was found that she would come up In the wind with sheets wide off, and tack without touching a rope, she was pronounced highly promising by all connected with her design and construction. Soon after, with owner and guests on board, she left this port one very cold day, bound to the southward.

Toward night she was becoming badly Iced up from stem to stern, and, the strong wind being on the beam, the mainsail was taken In. Tender this reduced sail she brought Hatteras Light abeam In 26 hours from the pme of her departure at Scotland lightship. Mr. Chapin's next trip was to the Azores. From there he went to Cadiz, the wind being fresh, and made the run.

'05 knots, in E0 hours. At times the yacht logged 14 knots. Mr. Richard Suydara Palmer, now deceased, purchased the craft somewhat later and made several long cruises In her. Captain Sherlock, the sailing raaeter, to this day likes to refer to the yacht's excellent qualities.

One cf his stories is that while under way la a crowded yacht anchorage he became snarlM up with a tow and a number of barges. The only way out of It was to run down one of the barges or to come about perilously near a stone breakwater. The Intler was dor but It was close work, and so handsomely did the yacht come about the was cheered by the crews of British vessels lying there, "and It has been my experience." Captain Sherlock quietly adds, "that It taks a great deal to make an English crew cheer a Yankee schooner." Became The Kmperor's. "Mr. Palmer took the Yampa to Kiel.

There she attracted the attention of the German Kmperor, who became bo Interested Jn her that negotiations were opened and he purchased her, delivery to be at Southampton, England, after the return voyage to America had been made. All this was carried out, as the yachting world knows. Thus the Kaiser became well acquainted wjtn an American schooner yacht, and that acquaintance has evidently ripened into admiration, as when his Majesty concluded that he would have built an enlarged Yampa, with all the Improvements that time has suggested, he sent his order to the Tampa's designer, naming as the only conditions that 6he should be 120 feet on the waterline and 27 feet beam. All other dimensions and all matters of construction and rig were left to the experienced hands that had produced the vessel that caused -him to send to America for his new yacht. From the Whim to the Meteor is a long Imti? tint" thi Triuinnfa was rrA non.l vrt cause the Whim was satisfactory, and the Yampa was built because the Iroquois developed seagoing qualities and speed of marked character, while the new Meteor Is taking shape in bur harbor because the Tampa has proved that she has speed and comfort, and Is safe In deep water whatever the mood the elements may be In.

From the Whim to the Meteor are steps few naval architects ever have the pleasure of successfully taking; yet It Is a legitimate process of growth, and her veteran designer deserves his Buccess. YALE DECLINES TO ROW Is Willing? To Send Her Second Crew Against Naval Cadets. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New Havjis. Pnw inn vr i i 1 AttiC IIUQ followed the example of Harvard and today formally declined the invitation of the Annapolis naval cadets to enter a regatta on May 10 with Pennsylvania, Cor- nell, Columbia and Georgetown crews.

Yale, however, Issued a challenge to the cadets to row Yale's second crew on that day. Such a race was rowed In 1000 and 1901. Yale today asked for bids to erect an addition to the boathouse on the Quinni-, plae river, to cost $1,500. There Is some talk of sending a crew to England If the annual race with. Harvard at Nrtv London Is not arranged soon.

Negotiations for the Matter are In abeyance. AN EXCITED CROWD OF 2,500 In The Third Round The Summit Hill Middleweight Does Effective 'iVorU, Bnt Falls To Keep It Up. Special Dispatch, to the Baltimore Sun.l Philadelphaia, Jan. 27. Young Peter Jackson, of Baltimore, added another scalp to his belt by defeating Jack Bonner, of Summit Hill, In six rounds before the Washington Sporting Club here tonight.

In only one round did Bonner make any kind of a showing, despite the fact that he had the advantage of height, reach and 12 pounds in weight. This, however, was discounted by Jackson's fine physical condition and wonderful recuperative powers. The exceptional round was the third, when Bonner managed to use a left hand lead In a most effective manner. He met all of his black opponent's rushes and jarred him every time so that at the end of the round Jackson was a trifle unsteady on his pins. The Baltimore welterweight, however, showed that he could stand a grueling round and come back fresh.

In the fourth round he went to Bonner for keeps and in the fifth round had the Summit Hill middleweight clinching and holding to avoid being knocked out. Referee Roach, owing to the demonstration of 2,500 noisy spectators, broke tho men apart and sent them to their corners just as the bell rang ending the round. In the sixth round Bonner made a plucky effort to stem the tide of defeat, but Jackson was all over him with vicious short-arm work, and the round ended amid inr tense excitement, with Bonner holding to avoid a knockout. The preliminary bouts were full of ginger. Sammy Smith, of this city, defeated George Richardson, of Buffalo, In three rounds; Al Jansen, of Providence, R.

lost to "Bllfy" Burrls, of this city, In six rounds, and Frank Schwartz, of Summit Hill, outpointed Stephen Judge, of Scran-ton. TERRY IN HIGH SOCIETY NOW Mr. McGovern Visits Mrs. Kerno. chan And She Will Return Call.

"Terry" McGovern, the jab-and-counter artist, was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but since he has worn a couple of silver tubes In his nose he has broken into high society with credit to himself and pleasure to the aristocrats who invited "the to "come In and see us." "Terry" has leased training quarters In the midst of the fashionables at Hempstead, Long Island, and last Sunday Mrs. James L. Kernochan, his neighbor, sought his presence, so "Terry," dressed for company in a brilliant red sweater, a double-breasted waistcoat of garnet, with white polka dots, blue serge sack coat and trousers, enameled shoes, black raglan and derby, started for his social diversion about 1 o'clock, taking with him "Chris" Martin, who trains the McGovern-Harrls-SulUvan string of racers. Although the palatial Kernochan country seat, The Meadows, is less than 500 yards from the training quarters, "Terry" went down in style In his rubber-tired runabout, which was tfrawn by his pet trotting mare Elanor. He could be seen for a long distance.

It was something of a shock to "Terry' when, Instead of meeting Mrs. Kernochan alone, four other ladies and three gentlemen were in the reception hall. "Terry" intuitively guarded his injured nose and sidestepped gracefully, coming back with a straight body blow and then mixing up generally. Mrs. Kernochan was giving a house party over Sunday, and her guests were Mrs.

James P. Kernochan, Mr. Ker-nochan's mother; the Misses Tabor and Miss Ethel Hitchcock, Charles Rodman, Cambridge Livingstone and Singleton Van Schaick. Mr. J.

J. Kernochan did not appear, being confined to his apartments by illness. The party went out to the stables and kennels and everything of interest on the place was shown by Mrs. Kernochan. The hunters, coach horses, hackneys, cobs and polo ponies were all trotted out for inspection, with the Irish terriers, French bulldogs, dachshundes, beagle hounds and spaniels.

It was after 4 o'clock when and Martin finally ended their pleasant call, and both returned to the quarters elated, fn talking it over afterward, "Terry" said: "Mrs. Kernochan treated us finely, and she Is the finest lady I ever met. It was the time of my life. I felt like throwing up the sponge when I first entered the ring I mean the hall but Mrs. Kernochan was backing me from the start, and as soon as I began mixing up I could stay any number of rounds." Mrs.

Kernochan and some friends will be the guests of "Terry" some day this week. Mrs. Kernochan asked if she might inspect the quarters and stablfes, telling "Terry" that she lived on the place while her new mansion was being built. "Terry" and his brother Hugh will spar for his visitors. HE WASN'T YOUNG CORBETT But Mr.

Duffy, Of Baltimore, Thought He Entertained The Real Thing. Mr. Daniel J. Duffy Is an ardent admirer of the manly art of self-defense, and takes a great deal of Interest in pugilists; so his cup of joy was full when, while paying a visit to a young lady about Christmas he was introduced by a couple of young men whowere present to a third young man, who was said to be none other than the redoubtable "Young Corbett." Mr. Duffy invited the renowned bruiser to visit him at the St.

James Hotel, where he makes his home, and the Invitation was accepted. Unlike the proverbial angel visits, it Is said that the visits of "Young Corbett" were both frequent and long drawn out. Mr. Duffy introduced the "champion featherweight" to his friends and spent time and money making his stay in the Monumental City pleasant. Last Saturday night Mr.

Duffy presented his pugilistic friend to a young traveling man from Denver, Col. making the presentation Mr. Duffy was aware that the man from Denver wore a puzzled expression and wondered why. A few minutes later his Denver friend called him aside and Informed him that the "Young Corbett" was not the Simon pure article, but a base imitation of the original "Young Corbett," champion feather-weight of the world, who Is at present In the West. As soon as convenient Mr.

Duffy accused his erstwhile friend of being an Impostor, and the latter had nothing to say. Yesterday Mr. Duffy again called on the young lady at whose house he first met the alleged slugger, and was surprised to find that individual also paying a social call. The man gave his name to Mr. Duffy as C.

W. Fanshaw, while the real "Young Cor-bett's" name is William Rotbwell. MAY FIGHT DENVER ED MARTIN Champion Jeffries Still Says He Prefers Fltzslmraons. New York, Jan. 27.

Champion James Jeffries went to Boston this morning. Before he started he safil in reference to the calling off of his match with Sharkey by the club in San Francisco: 'Billy' Delaney, my manager, had e.n idea that the match between the ex-sailor and myself was not clinched, and went to 'Frisco for the purpose of learning more about-the real situation. "I am still anxious to hear from 'Bob Fltzslmmons. I will now give the preference to him, and If he signs to fight I will be ready to meet him on the same date that I was to have boxed Sharkey. It is up to him now, and if he means business he can get a match." In reference to the deposit of $1,000 with Al Smith by "Billy" Madden on behalf of his man "Denver" Ed Martin, Jeffries said that he would probably give a chance to Martin if he is assured that Fltzslmmons does not really care to face him.

William Fa-versham as Don Cesar de Bazan, received a cordial -welcome last night at the Academy of Music. It waji Mr. Faversham's first appearance here as a star, and his new role fits him even better than that in which he achieved such signal success In "Under the Red Robe." He realizes the ideal of the daredevil, swashbuckling Don Cesar, in a play structurally and pictorially devised to bring out the salient merits of the actor a play vigorously operated and infused with the strong elements of love and Intrigue. The swagger of the vagabond aristocrat Is given with ease and pervaded with careless humor. The gentleman born shines through garments the worse for wear and a gait that Is unsteady from the cup.

The easy Indifference to life or death and the nonchalance with which it is proclaimed cause many ripples of laughter, yet in strenuous scenes this careless gentleman of fortune pulls himself together and acts with force and directness. The fact that Mr. Faver-sham does not storm his way through the part proclaims his ability and a clever conception of the role. Romance is poetry, and though the lyric element In "A Koyal Rival" is subordinated to action, the charm of it runs through the whole fabric and Is strong in its. appeal to the audience.

M. du Maurier, the son of the author of and himself an actor, has given a version of the familiar story of Don Cesar de Bazan that is romantic and spirited, without running too much into melodrama. The story Is unencumbered by too many side Issues, and Is told in a terse, straightforward style. Miss Julie Opp is a charming Marita. Her dramatis opportunity, which comes in the fourth act, is-rendered with forceful appreciation of its demand.

She reveals convincingly her indignation and abhorrence at the plot of which she is the victim, and shows the dawn of love in a manner that wholly wins the audience. It is to be regretted that she is held so long In abeyance and flashes out so vividly for such a brief period. One of the cleverest pieces of acting is that of Claire McDowell as the boy Pedro. The scene In which Pedro deplores the Impending execution of Don Cesar whom the boy Is afterward able to save by extracting the bullets from the soldiers' muskets while they and their Intended victm drink and sing together Is touchlngly rendered. Edwin Stevens makes a careful, deliberate and polished "rlllaln.

Mr. Edwards and Miss Fisher, as the Marquis and Marchioness of Monteflore, are excellent, and the rest of the company good. The play is handsomely staged. Ford's Opera Home. FLOBODOHA.

Act I The Island cf Florodora, In the Philippines. Act II Scene 1, Abercoed Castle, Wales; 2, Grand Ballroom in the Castle. "Florodora," 'with all Its gayety, Its brightness, its clever little hits, its catchy melodies and its sextets of pretty maidens and gentle strangers, Is back again at Ford's. Company No. 1, fresh from its lengthy New York engagement, presents it, and the names that stand out in small caps this time are those of Edna Wallace.

Hopper, Helen Redmond, Jeannette Lowrie, Philip Ryley, W. P. Carleton, Cyril Scott and R. E. Graham.

Only one fault could be found, with the reception given the comedy and the company last night. It was almost too cordial. The audience's appetite for encores was practically insatiable, and the attempt to satisfy it prolonged the performance dangerously near the fatigue point, The pretty maidens and the gentle strangers were applauded back from the wings once, twice, three times, four times so many times, In fact, that It was impossible to keep tally. Then everybody wanted to hear more of Mr. Carieton's song to Dolores, and no wonder.

Mr. Carieton's voice is a mighty good one, and the melody is one of the prettiest in the whole collection. Edna Hopper, with her Dresden china daintiness and her little affectations, was another upon whom a heavy demand for encores was made. Jeannette Lowrie's song about the man who would, would, would, and the maiden who understood, brought her out again and again, and Helen Redmond's clear musical voice made her difficulties as Dolores worth hearing about many times. Mr.

Ryley was the most actively employed of the men In the cast. He supplied the most of the fun and people didn't want to lose sight of him for an instant. The chorus was in splendid trim throughout the evening, the men's voices were especially good, and at no time was the chorus better than In the stirring military song at the close. For this they had, besides the orchestral accompaniment, an impromptu whistling accompaniment from the gallery and the rear of the house. Chase's.
