author makes some grave charges against
the holders in this city of correspondent
cards for out -Of-town dramatic and sport.
ing papers. These cards entitlc tho hol-
der to an admission to each entertainment
given in the opera house, provided the
manager sees fit to recognize them. There
are now nine papers represented in this
city by correspondents, and most of them,
as the F0otligM says, fail to do tho work
expected of them, merely retaining their
little pasteboards to enable them to make
their way into entertainments. The Foot

worry about writing any letters for the
journal which he has gall enough to claim
to represent.
The F0otEght publishes list of the
papers represented here. and it includes
nearly all, except the New York Clipper,
that give the stage any attention. Why
does it not publish a list of the men repre-

by publishing tho names of the guilty ones.
One thing is certain, and that is that both
theatrical managers and dramatic news
papers are degraded by some of these
professional beats, and tho sooner the
former refuse to encouraging them and the
latter fail to engage their valuable SER
vices, the better it will be for both.
