The Ring.

The first scene in the farce shortly
to be enacted before a somewhat skep-
tical public, and programmed by
those consummate actors, Messrs.
Henry Bull and Pony Moore, respect
lively the hackers OF John Lawrence
Sullivan, and Charles Mitchell, oc-
Cured at Chelsea Police Court on
Wednesday last, when Charles Mitch
ell was bound over to keep the peace,
on information laid that he intended
to break it by meeting Sullivan in the
prize ring. Now, for my own part, 1
do not think that there was any real
need of binding Mitchell over to keep
the peace. There is no greater ad-
mirer than myself OF good, manly
fistic encounter, but have little faith
In men processing their eagerness to
meet some one twenty pounds heavier
than themselves, hoping thereby to
gain certain amount of glory and
then taking every opportunity OF
avoiding a thrashing. | am not an
admirer of John l.. Sullivan, indeed
l consider him an overrated fighter,
but l am perfectly satisfied that
Mitchell has no chance with him, as
he is out of his class. Mitchell is a
clever fighter, but he is not big
enough for Sullivan, and should they
ever meet, which l beg leave to doubt,
he will prove comparatively easy
prey to the Boston bruiser.

1t is likely that play written by Mr..
w. T. Price, entitled simply Old John

first half of 1887, 1922 900 francs.
The staff consists of twenty-seven
societaires and thirty-three pension
naires, their salaries amounting to
423, 900 francs. Twelve of the former
have IL 900 francs each, half of which,
however, has to be paid into the

the pensionnaires range from $4,000
francs (Madame Agar) to 1000 francs.

of 5000 francs for his forty-six years

l am getting rather weary Of re-

Club, or rather the committee of that
institution, that it is time they were
bestirring themselves. The rainy
season will soon be over, and as yet
no arrangements have been made to
secure ground for practice. l am
afraid they will find one difficult to
obtain, as the Sixth-street grounds
seem to have changed into a hay
market-at any rate, the last time 1
was there considerable quantity Of
that useful article was stacked upon
them. fancy that cricket, as game
for gentlemen, played by gentlemen,
can hardly fail to take in Southern
California, if only properly cared for,

of last season it we're pity to let it
die out amongst US.

HNIY Geraldine.,,

Tomorrow evening the My Gerald
inc company will commence an en-
gagement at the Grand Opera House.
When BARLEY Campbell wrote My
Geraldine it was his ambition to clearly
depict the life in Ireland, as our i'm
agination can paint it. He wished
to impress on the eye the very sensa-
ton which sight of the mouldering
ruins of many of an almost forgotten
place of prayer and worship convey
to the traveller through the green isle
of the sea-" A long journey through
Ireland's moss-covered hills had per-
fected his ideas, and he laid the
strongest act of his play in the Grey
Nuns abbey, place full of historic
interest, which stands ON high bluff
overlooking the sea, in one Of the
northern counties. At the time of
Mr.. Campbell's visit to this ancient
spot, he himself made sketch of the
interior OF the abbey, and with each
succeeding presentation of the play
the artist has been requested to repro
duce the drawing for use in the scenic
effects Nor was a drawing for the
scenery the only foundation for the
play which Mr.. Campbell brought
away with him. From tale told him
by a peasant lad he cleaned the main
facts for the foundation of his ro-
nance, and by the deft work of per-
feet playwright he wove them into
shape.
My Geraldine stands to-day a pure
and simple Irish drama, appealing to
every heart by its touches of senti-
ment and amusing all by its unre-
strained vein Of comedy. An Irish
drama without singing or dancing
would be entirely out of the question,
for an Irish lad finds food and drink
in both. Appropriate and catching
melodies have been introduced into
the several acts OF the play, and to-
getber with the drama itself they
have become exceedingly popular.
Mrs. Dion Boucicault (Agnes Rob-
ertson) has SO long been identified
with the Irish drama that it seems
perfectly natural to see her name in
connection with My Geraldine. That
same halo of perfection hovers about
her which characterizes her original
performance of "Eiley O'Connor,"
"Arrah" and others of this class as
we have seen her do them.
Poor BARLEY Campbell's days of
author ship are passed and maniac's
cell now confines the brain that has
done more than any other to elevate
the American drama. but his plays
still live, and My Geraldine may be
classed as one of his best.

Prices Paid for sfaenzlne yvo,.,..

Speaking a few evenings ago with tho ed
itor Of ono of the great New York magazines.
| CHANGED to ask him as to the present rates
paid to authors for their work. His answer
was not uninteresting.
The present average rats for magazine
work is $40 per thousand words. This is now
paid to large number Of what is termed
average writers-that is, writers whose repu-
tations have yet to be madc. OF course. this
price does not apply to lslown and tried

always command higher prices. Work Of
famous writer's commands different prices.
some como very high. For example, We have
paid rs high as 81 600 for q single poem.
How icns was II; Five pages of our naga-
zine. For single story as high as 5000 hes
been paid, although usually 500 is a good
price for good saort story. Those which
are considered especially meritorlous com
mand as high as $3.50.
But rates factuatc, and I am frank to
confess that great deal depends upon repu-
tation. This must, Of necessity, be So. for
the public will read a story or poem very
often because Of the name attached rs If
where the same story might 70 unread ia

It. From my experience, women write tile
best short stories. They are better equipped
TO meet the demands Of the age. Most
stories sent to tie magazines by men en-
body some attempt at plot. Now, almost
every conceivable plot has been invented,
and it is almost miracle when anything
strikingly original comes 70 Us. Women. on
the Other hand. are more apt to employ stu
atoms which admit Of portrayal Of subtle
shades Of feeling. These are the successful
story writers Of the present day.r-Willia.n
