TONY PASTOR.
A Sketch OF His Life as Detailed
by His Brother.

As Is well known Mr.. Frank Pastor,
the subject of an interesting sketch in
the IIGlT yesterday, Is the brother of
Mr.. Antonio Pastor, better known
throughout the amusement world MS
"Tony" Pastor, and this reporter has
from Mr.. Frank Pastors lips quite an
interesting sketch of his brothers life,
with his great success as a Snowman.
Referring to his brother Mr.. Pastor
said: "Tony was born in New \ ork in
May, 1885. His first appearance in pub
lie was at temperance meeting at the
old Dey street church, New York. lie
was then only six years Of age, and he
sang comic duets with Christian b.
Woodruff; afterwards State Senator.
For two years he was kept busy singing
at temperance meetings. In the fall Of
1916 he made his first appearance before
the public rs a legitimate performer at
Barnum's museum In minstrel band.
lie put on the burnt cork and played
the tamborine. In 1917 he joined Ray
mond Il Warnings menagerie as a burnt
cork artist. In the fall he Joined with
Billy and myself, Nathan's circus. lie
became u great favorite MS a comic
singer. He became rlngmaster and was
the first to introduce comic singing in
the circus ring. One day the regular
clown was taken sick, and as In those
DAYS there was but one clown to cir
Gus, the manager was in great diem
ma until he thought Of Tony and in
duoed him to do this clowns part, and
was so well liked that he was kept at
this part until he left the circus. lie
was one of the most celebrated clowns
of that day, and contemporaneous with
Dan Rice, was acknowledged to be the
greatest. lie was, at the opening of the
war, in the variety business, but with
Sam Sharpely he organized and put on
the road the first travelling minstrel
troupe. They succeeded on the road so
well that Sharpely went on to New
York and opened threatre in the
Bowery during the winter and Travelled
with the troupe during the summer.
One day while over a game of whist.
Sharpely felt blue and offered to sell
out and Tony became sole proprietor
From this time everything seemed to
turn to gold with Tony, and his Bowery
theatre became n great success. From
the Bowery he moved to broadway and
thence to his present location on Four
teenth street. Every winter he uses
this place at big profit and in summer
he rents 1t to other managers, while he
travels over the country. lie is in
Philadelphia this week. Last week he
was in st. Louis. He has made for
tune In the business, the principal of
which he has put in bonds, though he
owns some valuable property in New
York and fine house and real estate in
Saratoga.

"WHOOPLA!"
A Mile Paced in 2:e Ia at Chi.
cago.

CHICAGO, October 3.-On the opening
day of the fall trotting and pacing meet
ing of the Chicago driving park the
weather was bright and warm and the
track fast.
The event of the day was the success
full attempt of Commodore Kittson's
PAGER, johnson, to lower his record Of
2:l0. The conditions were most favor
able for speed, and the mark set prom
ises to stand at the head Of the list for a
long time. He was brought out and
given warming heat in 2:l92. Then he
and Richball were brought out and the
judges announced that they would be
started about four lengths apart, not to
pace against each other, but each In an
attempt to beat his own record, Rich
balls being 2l2A. They were given the
word, both going fast and level. John
son reached the first quarter In 81 sec
onds, 2:OS gait. Soon after passing
the quarter post Richball made very
bad break, and was logged the rest Of
the way without an attempt to make
time. johnson increased his speed
slightly, reaching the half post In I:O3J,
or at the rate of 2:07 for the mile, the
second quarter being covered in 3l1 sec
onds. Along the third quarter the same
terrific flight was kept up, and the
spectators began to cry "He will beat
III" He flew to the three-quarter pole
in 1886, and the cry was, "See him GO
He will beat 2:09!'' Down the home
stretch he came even faster, but with
out falter-steady as clock work.
