THE CRAWFORD.

The largest audience yet assembled at
the Crawford Grand greeted Mr.. keene
last night in Richard Ill, All the part of
the house was well filled. there being in
the building over twelve hundred people.
The large audience was in no wise disap-
pointed, for they were given the best pre-
sentation of the great tragedy ever at
tempted in the city. Mr.. keene's Rich
ard is a mastery Interpretation, and by
many of the best critics is pronounced un
rivaled by any living actor His Richard
is the same blood-thirsty wretch as gener-
ally portrayed; yet the audience
never loses sight of the fact
that it is his vaulting am
bition that prompt him to the deed of
blood, and, while they may dspise, cannot
but pity, or even admire him. Mr.. Whee-
lock, an actor of sterling worth had but
little opportunity as Richmond for the
display OF his decided ability. Mr.. Elliott
was very good as King Henry, yet ap-
pears to much better advantage in other
characters which he assumes Mr.. Moore's
Buckingham was forcible, conscientious
and painstaking piece of acting, well
worthy of the marks of appreciation with
which it was received Mr. Frank Hennig
who impersonated Catesby, is a young
actor Of far more than ordinary ability.
He has for several years been member of
Mr.. keene's companies and has in that
time made very great improvement in his
art. Miss Hambin is worthy of praise for
her excellent impersonation of Queen
Elizabeth. Miss Boyle as Lady Anne was
good, yet she is evidently better suited for
lighter parts. In Mrs. Baker the stage
has an actress of the old school and one
competent to bring out everything there Is
in not only the Duchess of York, but
whatever else she attempts.

TURF TOPICS.
Grand Week of Sport Promised at the Inaug-
Ural Race Meeting.

| Tie preparations that are being made for
the inaugural June races of the Wichita
| Exposition and Interstate Fair association
are sufficient TO commend the enterprise to
every citizen who loves Wichita. The
management is determined that the meet
| ing shall rebound to the credit of Wichita
and Sedgwick county and the large num-
| Der of entries of fast horses will be, OF IT
self, sufficient guarantee that the meeting
will be a success in every particular. An
EAGLE representative in tour OF few
days. in swinging around the circle within
radius of one hundred miles learned
enough to justify him in asserting that
next week will witness the largest assem-
blage ever seen in the Peerless Princess" "
The turf attractions are of such a charac-
ter as to Justify the organization OF eXcur-
sion parties from all the surrounding coun-
try, large number of people already max
ing preparations to be here from Eidorado,
Newton, Peabody, Emporia and along the
main line of the Santa Fe. In addition to
this large excursion over the Missouri
Pacific from Hutchinson, Lyons and Gene
sea is promised. The latter excursion Will
be under the direction of Ralph Easley, the
well-known editor of the Hutchinson News,
who promises to whoop it up lively for the
city.
The grounds of the association will be
patrolled by nm efficient and gentlemanly
set of officers from McMahan's detective
agency under the personal supervision and
control of Chief McMahan himself, which
is sufficient guarantee that the best of or
der will be preserved and that all visitors
will be duly protected.
The grand stand will afford ample ac-
com modations for all, from which per
fected and unobstructed view of the entire
track can be obtained. This stand has
been constructed with view to the best
advantages of witnessing the races, and
the same is one of the best amphitheatres
in the entire western country.
That the races will draw large crowd
is supplemented by the fact that the money
making individual is being heard from all
over the country in applications for the
sale of various articles, and
offering liberal prices for the priv
ilege thereof The management, however,
has wisely decided to permit only legiti-
mate enterprises on the grounds and in
accordance with this decision, the ordinary
takers in usual attendance upon race
meeting will be conspicuous by their abb
Sence.
The preparations for the grand street
pageant, sham battle, and fremen's
tournament are about completed and will
be one of the grandest exhibitions ever
witnessed in the state of Kansas. The
management has been industrious and
interchangeable in its efforts to produce
something that will commend itself to all
aud that its efforts will be appreciated
there is scarcely any room for doubt.
