THE FoRDs IN "ENGAGED.o
A Successful Production of Gilbert
and Sullivan's Play.

A Successful Production of Gilbert
and Sullivan's Play.
The Fords gave their sixth performance
of the season last night. The play was
Gilbert and Sulliyan's comedy, "En-
gagged" 1t was produced here two years
ago by professional company, but was
not a success In the hands of the FOrds
it was. The performance was the best
that they have yet given. The play is lull
OF laughRble situations and witty
dialogue. Every situation was filled
and the production was all that it could
be made.
The Theatre was what might be called
crowded. There was hardly a vacant
seat in the lower part Of the house. The
audience was generous in applause, and
at the end of every act, after the curtin
had fallen, it had 10 be rung up
response to calls.
'CheviOt HILL" a young man of pro-
perty, is the leading character. Mr..
Lawrence Hanley played the part to per-
fiction. AS the young man whose heart
is right but whose mind is tickle, and Is
continually leading him into troublesome
and annoying complications, he was the
character itself.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Readick as "Belvawney"
WAS sort OF mystery. The character is
the two are continually meeting at inop-
perfume moments, when neither wishes TO
see the other. Mr.. Readick played the
part we'll. His song at the opening OF the
third act won for him recall.
Mr.. Larry DOYLE as "SympersoD, the
uncle of "CheviOt' and the father OF
Minnie" whom "CheYiOV agrees to
marry, and IN 50 doing TO settle an an
nuity upon, caught the house. His con-
ceptiOn of the character was true. HIS
acting was admirable. The applause he
received was merited.
Mr.. j. Doyle as angus MoAlister," a
lowland peasant lad, and Miss Minnie
Dupree as "Maggie," a Scotch lassie,
early youth, were torn apart
through the seductive wiles Of
"CheyiOt," were characters that the au-
dience liked and sympathzed with. The
part OF the pretty little Scotch lassie was
cleverly acted. ANGUS" did what he had
10 do well. Both were repeatedly ap-
plauded,
s"Belinda" Miss May Wilkes won the
favor OF the house the moment she
came upon the stage. The
character Is one that requires versatility.
Miss Wilkes has every requirement TO
meet the occasion. She was twice called
before the curtain.
Miss Jackson. as "Minnie," did her part
cleyerly and received her share Of the ap.
plause.
The other characters were "Major Nc
Gilhcuddy." MIR. w. A. Fleming; "Mrs.
McFarlane." a lowland widow. Miss T..
FHrrar; and 'sParkes." "Minnie's" maid,
Miss Madge FELTON,. Every part vas we'll
taken and the FOrds nave reason TO be
proud OF their success.

AUGUSTA, June 24.-The game to-day
was remarkable for the kicking by the
Maconites against Umpire Brennan. Some
OF his decisions we're palpable errors, but
the case on which tae great kick was
made was acknowledged to be correct
ruling by Brennan. Augusta won by
heavy hitting and through the errors of
Macon. The first run made by Augusta
was through an error OF Walsh, who
threw wild. The ball hid in the weeds,
Sutclitfe scoring at ease. ReardOn was in
the box for Augusta and showed up pretty
well. He was hit by every man but two,
but not safely or esectually. Weidell will
occupy the box for the home team to-mor-
row and viii be supported by Sutcliffe.
Augusta is playing ball as OF yore and
promises to run up to the front again be-
fore the season is over.
The time of the game was two hours. Err

An incident occurred al Charleston in
the first Atlanta-Cbarlesto game which
illustrates the sharp practice the Atlanta
players are up 70. The incident was the
unaccountable appearance In the diamond
OF two balls AZ the same time. The mat
ter was the subject OF a mild inyestiga-
ton on the part OF Manager Cushman,
AID was explained by Manager Purcell
on the theory that some boys had thrown
the ball over the fence from the railroad
yard. The extra ball WAS not a boys
ball, but the explanation was taken for
what ~ was worth and the matter was
soon forgotten.

Charleston is the first club to shut out
Savannah. The tail-enders are either
playing great ball or Savannah is not.
Not a single player in the Philadelphia
League Club has batting average OF 300
per cent. Wood stands highest With .29S.
The News and Courier man, speaking
Of Wednesdays game, says the Savan-
nah felders covered every inch Of terri
tory inside the four fences of the field.
Baldwin, the Detroit pitcher, was for
merly farmer boy, and could throw 80
accurately that he could kill bird on a
fence with stone nine times out OF ten,
fifty yards away" This paragraph 10 now
on a starring tour, and is the latest cam
paign lie.
Atlanta audiences are to be pitied.
Any audience that will sit for two hours
and listen to the coarse mOuthings OF At
lanta and Nashville's cOachers and pre-
tend to enjoy it would grace dog fight.
1t is just such games az Atlanta and
Nashville play that Burns delights TO
umpire.
Collins has caught on in Charleston.
The News and Courier says of his stop of
the hot liner which saved Savannah the
game on Wednesday that it was a superb
play and provoked applause even from
those who were most disappointed. The
situation was thus" Brosnan, who opened
for Charleston at the bat, got a safe hit,
and by daring steal reached second base.
The three men who were to follow him
were heavy batters. Powell, who came
next, went down before O'Day's decep-
tive curves, and then Gilman came to the
bat. The excitement was intense, the
entire grand stand getting up on its feet
and cheering the men on. Gilman, after
two or three 'teasers' had been sent in to
him. raped ball-a red. hot liner-in the
direction OF centre field. 1t was ball
which IN nine cases out of ten would have
counted a safe hit. Ii it had passed the
second base just six inches higher from
the ground Charleston would have scored
at least one, and very possibly two runs.
Almost before It left the bat BrOsDan,
who meant business, had reached third
base and was pounding home at the rate
Of twenty miles an hour, more or less.
But il was useless. Collins saw the ball
coming like shot out Of a cannon. The
line of its path was far above his head,
but he made leap for it and captured it,
thus putting out two men and shutting
out Charleston"

a storY About Arson.

Arson, OF the Chicagos, began to play
ball when 10 years old, at Marshalltown,
la. He then wore long yellow hair, and
generally went barefoot. His father was
a sawmill man and a lover of outdoor
sport. Young Arson was taught to box,
shoot, wrestle and to play ball. The father
used to play fret base in the local team,
while the son was always catcher, They
we're like two brothers and looked much
alike. Ii Arson, ST., was a runner on
base, young AID. would keep him in an ir-
ritated state of mind by yelling, "Run!
you old fool; why don't you skip out?"
These expressions generally resulted in a
heated wrangle, which led to a tussle on
the diamond between father and son.
Young Ad. played his first game in a
crack team at Des MOines when he was
II. He was an expert billiard player at
a very young age, and used to be backed
against all the visiting drummers that
came to his town. His long hair and big,
bare feet were humorous contrast TO the
stylishly-dressed opponent, but he nearly

Charleston team batted ball to left field
L. went over the feldeT's head and after
striking the fence rebounded ana
tkan went into the ditch. The helder
started for it, but after running
only short distance took ball from
his shirt pocket and threw it on to the
diamond. The remarkable rapidity with
which the ball was tielded was loudly APP
plauded at the time. The witness OF this
smart trick states that he told colored
man, who was in buggy near him, to get
the ball in the ditch and give it to him,
and that the man started after IL, but that
the fielder stopped him, telling him TO let
it lie there. The fielder subsequently
went to the ditch, picked up the ball and
tossed il in the diamond.
