IRVING AND HEM.

The Truth About the Actors Summer Cruise
Lieut.. HEM Found To Be 'True Blue"
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Sept 18.-Whle tossing about on
the ocean in the fog at the yacht-racing fasco
the other day, aboard one of the finest of the
steam yachts in the feet, and killing the time by
gossiping over decanter of as good Kentucky
whisky as can be found Ito keep off the chilly,
some curious statements were made, which /
afterwards verified by inquring. and which have
not yet found their way into perpetuating type.
1t was laughable enough that Henry Irving
should make a cruise of the sound in a towed
yacht instead of at once securing for the purpose
a steam yacht. Yachting thus was, forsooth, as
much as sitting astride bicycle on platform
car across the continent would be bicycle jour-
ney More laughable is the fact that
Irving gave this treat to himself,
having hired and paid for the
yacht Brooklyn himself! He gave his own din
ner, bat it was not known that the yachting
cruise was his own treat also! This is certainly
very funny. OF coure it is generally understood
the boating and heralded visit dinner and cruise
with Miss Ellen Terry to meet and greet him at
each port was one of the numerous entertaining
schemes adopted by the managers of the actor
20 keep him before the public on this side of the
ocean, from which he viii be absent profession.
