beyond doubt that she will draw, and rs
Mr.. Abbey will bring her out in the cosy
little Park Theatre, theatregoers will have
better opportunity of studying her natu.
ralness than in larger house. Consider
able curiosity prevails as to how she will
acquit her self as "Rosalind" in "As You
Like It," This character will be much
more trying one to new artist than the
"Miss Hardcastles" which she has been
playing and in the portrayal of which her
breeding and naturalness are of even more
assistance to her than all the schools of
dramatic art combined. 1t is feared that
the rivals Nilsson and Patti may have a
collision during their stay in this country.
Women, and particularly actresses are
proverbially hard to manage, but Abbey
acquitted himself so well during his deal
ings with Bernhard that he will no doubt
be able TO handle them both to their own
satisfaction. Theo, the distinguished
French Opera Bouffe artist, is also com.
ing to see ces bons Amers cams, and to
carry off some of their "bons Americans
dollars" She gets one hundred thousand
frances for series of sixty performances,
and she is to appear in cities only, thus
making the annoyance of travel as slight
as possible. Besides her own travelling
expenses those of two attendants are to be
paid. Thus she will have very pleasant
trip and her income will nearly double
that which she gets ut home. No wonder
foreign players are anxious to come to this
country. She brings with her new tenor,
who, if the gossips are to be believed, is
destined by fortune to raise sad havoc
among tender and susceptible hearts But
fortunately the hearts of American girls
while easily impressionab1e, are at the
same time very elastic, and thus pater-
families who may be anxious to see Thco
cavort on the stage need not be afraid to
bring his daughter that she may bask in
the sunshine of the loneliness of the new
tenor.
If the new tenor means to succeed from
the outset he should cot fail to appear in q
role requiring military shoulder straps and
brass buttons. 1t is passing strange that
in this free country where we nominally
have such horror of the pomp and pa
geantry of war, it needs but the sight of
bullion and gold lace to make band of
lovesick maidcns out of girls otherwise
quickwitted and sober minded enough.
The most recent escapadc in militia life is
case in point. 1t is melodrama, tragedy
and comedy all in one. The scene is the
G. S. N. Y, at Peekskill dramatis per
soma: Private Rosenheim and Cora Lent,
a fine, healthy Pcekskill girl. The argu.
ment tells US that Private Rosenheim is
descendent of Il very ancient family which
came from the east and ut one time emf
grated from Egypt without the aid OF the
Russian Hebrew Relief Society. Rosen-
helms immediate ancestor makes his liv-
ing by dispensing nicotine to the gentilcs
in the shape of cigars, and in his leisure
| moments, when he does not wear the mill
tary buttons, young Rosenheim devotes
| himself to the humble avrcatiOn of strip
ping tobacco at five dollars week
| Though his purse WAS weak his love was
strong and aided by the wealth of oriental
imagery and eloquencc he succeeded in
persuading the fair Cora that happiness
was to be had only when he was near.
Cora was persuaded and followed him to
New Y ork. Here they lived ON milk and
honey like Roscnheim's ancestors in
Canaan. But unfortunately milk and hon
ey cost money in the nineteenth century
and thus in few days they became scarce
for the young people. Rosenheim had an
''uncle," who IN consideration of his
watch, studs and rings advanced him cash
herewith to prolong the agony. When
that gave out Rosenheim thought it was
time to ring down the curtain, interesting
as the play was. So lie brought her to tho
Grand Central Depot, bought her a tickle,
for Peekskill and kissed her good bye.
The poor thing wept bitterly at being thus
obliged to depart from her oriental lover.
In this condition she was found by a friend
of her family who informed her folks OF
her plight. She is now home again, and

The trotting track is likely to be made
additionally attractive this fall by the
presence of Mr.. Robert Bonner. The
smashing of records both in single anC
double harness by Mr.. Vanderbult's anG
Mr.. Works horses seems to have aroused
the veteran and in September it is more
than likely that he will allow some of hi!
cattle to appear at the Gcntlcmen's Driv
ing Park and show that when it comes Il
racing they have word to say. The tur
proper will also be next season enriched
by the appearance of number of gentle
men whose colors will be sported for glory
and not for gain. Among the more notet
ones are those of Commodore Kittson whit
has purchased the celebrated Erdenhein
stock farm of Aristides WEIGH, and wht
will enter his yearlings for next year
stakes. 1t is just such men thatare needed
to keep up the turf, for otherwise the Wal
tons and that ilk who regard it only as
variation on more unpretentious method
of gambling would soon drag it down t
the level on which the trotting turf wa
