setting. It has got so nowadays that man
ayers scarcely make effort to bring good
support to the Metropolitan, and the public

with its lines, and suffered chiefly by being
thrown into such strong contrast with the
admirable acting of McWade, whose Rip
Van Wrinkle will be given again tonight,
and is worthy the consideration of critical
and cultured audiences.

No BRONZE TURKEY FOR HM.-Dana
Perkins came down from Roseville the other
day-in fact he comes quite often, and when

bronze turkey | guess not. No bronze
turkey for you." And turning to the by-stand-

room. About 10 o'clock that evening l
thought I'd go to bed, and started for the
room but this man. who is so anxious for me
to give him bronze turkey, met me and
persuaded me to go down to the RECORD

went with him, and we stayed there until
| o'clock the next morning. Breakfast was
ready when we came back to the hotel, after
partaking of which l sat down in chair by
the stove and dozed for an hour or SO. When

it. Oh, no no bronze turkey for him"
