Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1889-06-29

Well, the Paris exposition develops
unexpected beauties, and certain sections
OF 1t are SO complete that on any other
occasion they would be expositions in
themselves Thus one enthusiastic re-
porter has devoted many days together
to the department of Java and adjacent
regions, and finds new curios and beauties
at every turn. He finds those supposed
semi-barbarians wonderfully expert in
manipulating plaits, making screens,
flags, mats, baskets and many more arti-
cles out of flags, rushes, rattan, bamboo
and native grasses. The economy in com.
mon life displayed by some of the Malay
races is quite surprising. Their cooking,
their choice of the most nourishing food
and adaptation of clothing to its proper
purpose excite admiration. Even their
weapons, which seem ut first so awkward
and antiquated, are found well adapted
to their situation, and one no longer
wonders that the Dutch had such diff
cult task to get control of the island
Another explorer has taken Anam or
Cochin China for his province, and his
report almost makes an American
ashamed that so little is known on this
side of the great work the French are

and far east. According TO L'Illustra-
ton, the Paris pictorial the country
has advanced as rapidly since the French
occupation rs any in the world, and the
Anamite section of the exposition proves
as much. Anam as n whole contains
some 200, 900 square miles and Is 200, 600
people, and though the French own but
"A small part of it, their influence is great
in all sections. There is great progress
in the arts of civilized life, trade is in
creasing and Christianity is tolerated
throughout the country. The Anamites
at Paris, however, are heather, and, ac-
cepting the Partisan view of it, their
heathenism isn't very nice kind.
In the fine arts the exposition is a
world in itself, and a column might be
filed simply with the names of the paint
ers whose works appear. There has been
a steady and tolerably rapid increase
from the start in the number Of visitors,
and by the last estimate Paris had AGO.

lation. All that number, say the man.

American visitors. accustomed to diff
ferent climate and very different liquors,

Though there is very little crime there
is good deal Of satirical fun, and some
of it rather i'll natured. The awkward
Americans get their share, and as for
the regulation English tourist, he is al
ways laughed at in France and America.
There are, too, many petty impositions,
and an American not fluent in the Ian
guage or "fy" in the customs usually
has TO pay good deal more for anything
than it is really worth. The common
people of Paris are a "band of brothers"
when il comes to settling with the for
eigner; no matter whom the latter ap-
peals to, all will swear that the bill is
ruinously low and according to the orig
inal contract. They have a byword
which may be thus rendered: keep the
money in Paris-if it knocks about long
enough it will come to me-" The great
crowd, too, enables the drivers to snare
the unwary. ILLUSTRATION has carl

THE GILBERT BUST.

Mr. Gilbert's career was so long one that
even catalogue Of his engagements would
be too voluminous for q short sketch In
1863 he Joined Wallack's company In New
York and remained In that city during the
rest of his professional life.
OF the many characters which he took he
preferred Sir Peter Teazle, Sir Anthony Alb
solute, Lord Ogleby, John Thornberry and
Old Dornton. The fame of his Sir Anthony
Absolute entities 1t to be placed at the head
of the list. 1t Is difficult to believe that the
choleric old Englishman ever had better
representative His figure, his face and his
voice fitted the part exactly; tho naturalness
of his choleric outbursts was extraordinary;
the dryness Of his humor perfect, and his
whole carriage an absolute reproduction Of
the old time manner.
His Sir Peter was a companion piece Of
almost equal merit, but Inferior 1t was q
little deficient In polish. The ideal Sir Peter
ought to have an air more courtly than that
which MIR. Gilbert impaired to him. but per-
haps even this objection is open to the charge
Of hypercriticsm. By way of contrast with
the explosive Sir Anthony take Old Dornton,
in "The Road to Ruin" No more perfect
picture of probity, benevolence and tender
ness could be imagined There is almost az
much pathos in the old mans honest out
buTsts oI inuiBnatlon as IN MS moments OF
forgiveness and reconciliation.
During the early days of his career Mr..
Gilbert appeared in New Orleans He has
related an incident that occurred during his
stay In the Crescent city.
He had been assigned to the important role
of Sir Frederick Vernon in "Rob Roy" He
knew his lines perfectly, but when he went
upon the stage and attempted to speak he
could not utter a word The air grew black
and he became faint almost to the point Of
falling Then the audience began to hiss
This, in a measure, restored him to his senses,
but at best he could only humble through
the part, and he retired from the scene dis
heartoned and mortified. 1t is said to be the
first and only time during his long career
that he ever forgot his part or was hissed by
an audience.
Immediately aftarward he redeemed him
self by the admirable manner in which he
acted an old man, very strong part, In a
piece called "Tho May Queen" and it was on
this occasion that the natural bent Of his tai
ent was first displayed. Thereafter he ap-
peared constantly in the characters of old
men, and made rapid advances in professional
reputation. For five years he Travelled in the
south and southwest, undergoing discomforts
and making shifts of which even the modern
barn stormer has but the fainteSt conception,
but constantly adding TO his experience and
self confidence, until he finally made his way
back again 10 Boston and procured an en-
gagement at the fremont theatre

sALLoNe, THE NEW ATHLETIC GAME

tt VIII Hardly Take the Place Of Tennis,
Though u 10 . Good One.
Pallonaccio according to the Italian do
siouary, signifies 70 large football" whilst
pallone has the same meaning In addition 70
its also standing for ''air balloon"
II Is with pallone as Q football that ~

game which is coming rapidly into fashion.
The general Idea people OF our country
form Of Italians does not suggest that they
are players Of athletic games, and II Is only
those who have seen them In their own coun-
try who know that beneath that apparent
eternal search for the dolce far nicnte there
Is vast deal Of energy and vivacity. which
breaks out In their sportive moods
IL viii surprise most people TO be told that

our tennis, racket. lawn tennis and flves and
that pallone, the game from which all spring,
Is the connecting link between tho crude ball
games Of the ancients and the games we at
present amuse ourselves with. The racket
was developed out Of a glove, and all the
large ball games played by the Romans by
being struck with the arm protected by
bracer, precisely rs the game now about TO
be described Is played.
To play pallonc properly an open sir court
Is needed Of smooth and level surface. II
should be about 800 feet In length, with lines
marked upon itas upon lawn tennis ground.
The court should lie east and west and along
Its whole length there must be wall Of about
thirty feet In height The game being a sum
mer recreation. the court should Ii, east and
west 40 that tho wall will throw n shadow by
which tho players are protected Pallone
can beplayed without this wall, but 10 Is not
then the perfect game, since the "boasting"
that can be accomplished "off" II is very
important
The court Is divided into two unequal
parts, ore being ten feet longer than the
other. At tho very extreme end Of this,

structed this Is on the western side On this

ounces, and perfectly inflated, so that 10 is

because the violence OF the blows very soon
deadens their vitality
The ball is struck by an instrument known
as the bracciale, stout wooden cylinder

guesses right he will come pretty near hit

the way he hits, often missing the ball by
several feet. The young pitchers never know

William, better known as "Buck" Ewing,
captain of the New York team, ia one Of the
most scientific batsmen in the country His
great forte is hitting to right field. His po-
sition at the bat is easy. In waiting for
ball he swings his hat up and down and hits
out at the ball mostly from the wrists Buck
seldom strikes out, and puts in many a three
base hit when IL is most needed. He is un-
ioubtedly the most timely hitter In his team.
BECKLEY
Beckley, Of the Pittsburgs, is a slugGer Of
the Brouthers type, and, like Dan, is left
handed His position at the plate is easy, and
he likes low ball the best, which, If pitched
over the plate either fast or slow, is very apt
10 be cracked out Of the lot. This new League
player has proven to be not only good aver
age batsman, but timely hitter as well

the very hardest hitters in the League

was known as "Home Rum Johnston. He
stands close to the plate and san kili an in

shoulder, but can meet the fastest kind of

TO Brouihers as player with high general
