AT THE RINK s.
A Highly Exciting Two-MIIe Ra
 Last Night.

A Highly Exciting TwO.MiIe Race Last Night.
 The Lincoln rinkRwas crowded last night with the many friends and admirers of John nie Dodds at the benefit rendered him. The Dwight school cadets gave an exhibition drill, after which the race between Johnnie Dodds and Frank Sterling occurred At the start the Bridgeporter took the lead, but was closely followed by Johnnie. At the end of the first mile Johnnie forged ahead, but Sterling made 8 spurt which placed the skaters neck and neck. The excitement at this time was intense; the audience seemed wild. Sterling crossed the track of Johnnie, causing him to fall to the rear. A cry of foul was raised and both skaters stopped. They were told to go on and before Sterling had recovered himself Johnnie was nearly a lap ahead. Sterling made great effort to overtake Dodds and succeeded in lessening the gap, but Johnnie had by this time completed his two miles and was declared the winner; time 9:50 It was the general opinion that had not the cry of foul been raised Sterling would have won the race This was the first of a series of five races between these two athletes. The next race will be held in Bridgeport. Sterling is he has always been known under that name In the succeeding races he will be called by his correct name, which is Frank Mills
 There will be game of polo at the Lincoln rink this evening between the Meriden and Lincoln polo teams.

About Jan1sch.

Speaking of the scene between Janisch and Armand in Camille, the Chicago Tribune re- gently said: "Janisch deserves to have her name handed down to history, if only for one thing" said well known theater goer,
 'tand that thing is her hug. It is sublime; the most comprehensive, all prevailing thing in the way of embrace
 that has ever been perpetruted on the stage.
 Bernhardt can hug with considerable aban-
 don and there is certain completeness of
 self-surrender about Lydia Thompson's stage
 caresses. But this hug of Janisch-well, it
 deserves to rank with Emma Abbott's kiss,
 Fanny Davenport's fall in "Fedora," Lord
 Dundreary's shuttle, Lord Burleigh's nod, Cromwell's part, Washington's truthfulness, Napoleon's love for snuff boxes, or any of
 the other great monumental traits of histor- ieal personages. It does not matter who it is that Janisch is hugging q mean on the stage of course), be it her father, her lover her hus- band, her lady friend, or whoever it may be, she envelopes them all as the darkness enyel- opes the earth. There is no prevar cation about ! it; no escape-from it-any more than there is from the embrace of boa constructor. It covers the case as completely as a congres- sional record. It is soul absorbing, ubiqui- tous, all enfolding-but therel Webster's dictionary has not got words to describe it. | and it ought to be sent to the New Orleans exposition
