WHAT CAPTAIN EOGARDJ> SAYS
ABOCT TRAP SHOOTING IL ENG
LAND.

Captain !. Il. Bogartius, the celebrated
American pigeon shooter, went 10 and
returned from E.n gland IL company with
the American Rifle Team. While IL
England he shot a number Of matches.
il a.! OF which lie was successful. and
by vanGuish!ns George Eimell he be
! cane entitled to ;Le name and badge OF
The Champion of the World. Upon
I Lis arrival in New York he was immedi-
ate!y interviewed by ona Of the Herald
reporters, and gave brief account Of
| his experience il ana impressions of
England and English pigeon shooting
customs and notions. We quote as fol-
lows from tie Herald OF August p:
Besides my exhibition performances
shot matches with Shaw at Manchester,
with Rimell at London, with Stevens al
HenGo2. and two matches il South
Wales. In all Of them I was the victor
also again shot George RinelI for the
championship of the world, where | won
the match and the badge. The only time
when I was treated in an ungentleInanly
way was il ny match with Shaw. On
this occasion the arrangement was for
each to trap and handle for the other
Shaw appeared to think | shot too quick,
although l always kept NY gun down
below the elbow, according to the Amer
lean rules, and never raised it until the
signal pull - was given. Even then l
waited, also according to the rules, until
the bird was Oh the fl. In order to
tick lie and show that fired before the
bind could leave the trap Shaw Oh one
occasion placed dead pigeon IL the
trap, and when the signal was given TO
ct sight az the bird on the wing but
Ii bid rose. and did not fire. a.
once called out, 8 No bird. and claimed
the match from the referee when I found
that q dead bird had been put Ill the trap.
That official. how ever, ordered another
bird TO be given Inc. The match went
OF. and won finally by Q large majority.
Tie referee afterward admitted that haj:

was generally well treated. I,

II IS EVIDENT i-uIi tie tone ot the dis
ra'ches sent overland by the Associated
Press Agent thai in Jay Gould the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company has net
its match. The fight is Pull Dick, pull
Devil. Tie result - he hoped fer is
that both contestants may be worried to
death. When Simonton quotes as fol-
lows from the New York Ns7ud there
mus; be something in the wind alarming
to orion and company. Eepesting
what the HeraW has to say, the press
dispatch has tie following:
Once permit these desperate specula-
tors, such men as Jay Gould and others
of his class, 10 take possession of the
telegrapis, and We have one OF the most
important functions OF our modern gov
eminent at the mercy of G desperate ad-
venturer who may place any rates he
p!eases Oh the telegraph, and make 1t
such a burden on the people that the
Government may be compelled to buy il
from him at his own price. The whole
question OF te!egraphing. and its Iela-
tons to the general Government, must
be settled soon. The spectacle of tina,
which belongs to the people as much as
the post Office, or the army and navy.
lowering on the verge of this Niagara of
bankruptcy, is degradation.
This means that that stupendous mo-
nopoly " OF that which belongs to the
people as much as the post Office, or the
army and navy" the Western Union
Telegraph Company. is getting fright
ened at the prospect of being compelled
to surrender to Jay Gonld, and is pre-
pairing to make terms of sale to the gov
eminent, as its least Objectionable alter
native remaining. The specious warn
ing that the people may be compelled to
purchase the wires at Gould's own price
is the old trick of the covering and ap-
prehensive fugitive who cries stop
thief when hard pressed BY lis pur-
SUCKS.

The HUMPTy-DUMpTy TRoUPE.-The ceIe.
hrated Humpty.Dumpty Troupe commence
an engagement at the Theatre on Thursday
night. Fox is the great original himself,
and stands uneXcelled in the country as a
facial artist. His entertainments are said to
be the best ever witnessed in this city. One
exchange in speaking of the troupe says: =
"Who has not heard of G. l.. Fox, the
pantomimist of so rare humor that his own
employees and fellow.actors with difficulty
refrain from loud laughter, even at the most
important times? Who, too, has failed to
hear Of the pantomime Of Humpty-Dumpty,
which for 1,402 nights delighted immense
audiences in the Olympic, New York; We
venture to say there are but few of our read.
ers who have not heard Of Fox and his IA
yorite pantomime. -
"He is coming to this city, and with him
troupe of more than forty people. His
brother, C.. Il. Fox, the best fPantaloon AN
the country, is with the troupe, and so also
are specialties which column could not de-
scribe. Fox carries all bis scenery with him,
and pays for the transportation of tons of
baggage. BY this means he can present all
the wonderful tricks, &c, connected with
the pantomime." &c..

can staee at the Theatre last night 10 her
iuiuitable character of Elizabeth, in the Earl
OF Essex, translated from the German by

+ IN the pure conception Of the character the
two great 1rtistes OF the age--Janausc hex
and RNtori-agree, and the stamp OF eacn
,nos, tho character Is tb e stamp of original
comprehensive genius. We can give neither
the preference over the other. With all our
htrh admiration of lanauschek's talents, we
did not think that she could cope with her
great italian sister in the role of Eliza
beth, even tbough surprising ner 10
some Of her favsrte roles but she mas
convinced us that IN Ristori's great
est iHpersonatton she is her equal. Her

/ her viudication of him against the charges

lands words, not the Queen and 1t was the
! woman too who detected in Lady Rutland's
.tzeal foe Essex personal interest not to her
liking, In the closing scene which reveals the
lconfiicS between the impulses of her heart
4 and s,er sense of duty as the Queen, she was
wouterfully effective, and the play of feel.
4 ing cannot be adequately described. The
scene in the second act in which she ex-
l hibits her womanly consciousness of the
Il rresence of Essex, while falling 10 give him

4 addresses the ministers, promising them
! 5ustice against the man she loves, was incom'
4 narabIy fine. In the third act her scenes
4 with the various characters would require a
long chapter to characterize. So womanly,
and fine, and subtle were their interviews
that we can only approach them with
abundant time.
In the scene in which she charges Essex
with felony and treason, and dashes the
baton which she has wrenched from his
hand against him, she was the Infatuated
Elizabeth, and sublime, indeed, was her
oyerw belming rage; but it remained to the
fourth act, when she discovers the cheat
that Essex and Lady Rutland have prac-
tced upon her, to release all the fury Of her
nature; and how fearful was the Whrl.
wind of her passion as she pronounces
the death.sentence of Essex may be
imagined, but it defies description. To in
dictate the delicate lights and shades of ia
nauschek's Elizabeth, to follow her through
her varying modes, to depict the depth and
expression of her every emotion, to give CO.
lor to her thoughts, and to fatbom her pas
sion and despair, the lover of art must do for
himself; the pen of the critic fails utterly;
and we must remain content with frag-
mentary commentary as feeble as Janau.
schek's portraiture was grand.
Tonight Chesney Void is announced, and
no doubt the Theatre will be crowded to
witness this thrilling drama; one which
will ever be associated with the great Jan.
auschek.
