N draw his check for $4,000 for q half
interest in :" Ansrchy." Mr.. G. W.
Dursnt, of the Broad-street firm OF
Dursnt. Marsh 4 Co., offered to draw
his check for the other half, but Mack
ave wasn't going to be LEFT again, and
leld on to his property.
ANEW THEATRICAL SCHEME.
What do you suppose Mr.. Mackaye
is doing now? Well, he is arranging
drama Of civilization at the Madison
Square Garden which will employ 500
men. including untsmed sayages, and
200 snimsls, including the carniyora OF
The American forest. The whole Of
Bufslo Bills Wild West will appear
IN this drama. Matt. Morgan is paint
ing over 1000 yards Of scenery for it,
and an army Of plumbers are at the
Garden putting in several thousand
feet of steam. pipe to be used IN
prsirie.fire. No language will suffice
70 convey an idea of Mr.. Mackaye's
I,..st enthusiasm. Just now the horse
show has possession OF the Garden,
and Buffalo Bill is rehearsing his 100
csyalrymen for the Custer light at
Erastina.
THE HORSE-SH0W.
The horse-show, curiously enough,
h.s grown to be the most fashionable
resort in the city. l don't know of
.ny other exhibition that draws to-
seiher such q brilliant society-crowd OF
ladies' and gentlemen. 1t is now the
proper csper for the sisters and wives
of all the swell clubs to 60 to this show
every afternoon, and the girl who can
not be horsey for an hour is not 10
good form. The odd thing about it all
is that the demi.mOnde do not take to
the place at all. Fast women in the
accepted sense, who are naturally
dorsey, and always chip in on the heels
of society where 1t is fashionable, give
the horsC-show the cold shoulder. The
girls who come here are thorough
breds. They want to see Jacks stall
lion or the Governors gelding or their
own hunter. They carry absurd little
Whips, and appear to be honestly fond
Of the animals, but they are not bit
ike Lady Gay Spanker. | really be-
leve that in another decade the New
York women will find OUT that horses
,re not for dairy purposes.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS.
ADJUSTMENTS have been freshened by
The production Of "Jim, the Penman,"
At the Madison Square. 1t proves to
DO q good play, the first genuine sue
cess Of the season.
Mr.. Edwin Booth, who came in as
m.thodcally and uneventfully as usual,
and did his regular Hamlet in primor-
dial style, has been worried good deal
by the threat Of the Lambs Club to
give him q dinner. He is understood
10 have said to the committee MY
God gentlemen, if eat III have the
dyspepsia, and if have the dyspepsia
I'll make q speech, aud if | make
speech I'll ruin my business for the
next six months. Don't, | beseech
you; don't do it Besides, Winter
will want TO read a poem, aud you
ought to have some consideration for
man with no stomach"
ENGLISH AS SHE Il SPOKE.
There are almost as many kinds of
English as Of other languages in New
York, and be has to be bold Ameri-
can who will Say be understands his
own language until he has mastered it
"as she is spoke" in this town. The
English Of the cutters is the most
unique Of all these hybrid varieties
1t is taught in the tenements and is the
proud possession OF the bootblacks,
sutet-yenders. porters, bGrtenders, and
small boys. Sometimes it gets into
brownstone house in this way. A lady
lost pet dog the other night, and next
dsy it resppeared in charge OF a
"gen." in calico jumper, who spoke
as follows
