the entries at both shows were local or from
neighboring cities. The breeding Of dogs In
Canada has made rapid strides during the

strongest points, although many good terriers
of different breeds have come down 10 our

The chairs are comfortable, and there isroom
enough between the rows to allow a person to
enter or leave the middle of any one Of them
without disturbing other member of the
audience The decorations are mainly In
blue, with a frieze Of crimson and gold. The
balcony rails and fronts Of boxes are orna-
mented with relief work in gold on a back
ground Of ivory. At intervals along the bal
cony fronts are groups OF incsndescsnt electric
lights in globes of the size and form Of Jacque-

The stage Is large and roomy, and every
precaution has been taken against fire, several
exits being provided from each floor. The
dressing rooms for the performers form some
thing Of an innovation There are twenty OF
them, each large and well lighted, and they
are in a separate building, reached from the
stage by a short covered passage. The theatre
has a seating capacity for 1900, and the ven
~tilation and acoustic properties are excellent.
Above the theatre is the beautiful Harlem
opera hall, which will seat 1000 people.
JOSEPH
Many people are inclined to view the
American stage nowadays through pessimis-
tic opera glasses, so to speak. The palmy
days of acting in America are gone, say they.
Everything in the theatrical line, In their
opinion, has degenerated since the good old
time Of the stock companies They mean
that the class Of young actors and actresses
which is now coming up is not what 1t might
be, and with the death or retirement of each
old favorite cry out that his like will never
tread the boards again.
The latter statement is probably true.
Each person, be he actor or be he anything
else, has certain characteristics which are
seldom similarly combined in another. But
1t does not follow that another combination
may not be as attractive or even more so.
Because a dozen years ago a certain actor
worked hard in his profession and played his
parts well, is no sign that an actor now who
works as hard cannot give as artistic and
meritorious a performance as did his prede-
cessor. Depend upon it, the stage is not de-
generating.
A fair representative of the rising rank OF
hard working, conscientious young actors is
Joseph Haworth. He is not much more than
80 years Of age, but he has already won an
enviable reputation. His debut was made
when he WINS but a lad at Cleveland, o. It
was in John Elssler's theatre, in 1874, where
Charlotte Champion appeared in Richard Ill.
He made such a decided hit that Mr.. EIlsler
retained him for four seasons. He then

of .4o5. Then comes Tom Brown, .401; Kelly,

dent Young has used the correct method in
making up the base running averages-that
is, divided the number of bases stolen with
the times the player reached first base. That
is the correct and only just method.

The polished French villain, the burglar, the

and the dead mans wife; Sothern, as the
elegant little Lord Chumley. "Healthy,
wealthy and wise!' poor Bishops last words,

his end, dying as he did in harness, the rude
and unexpected shock dealt by Grim Death
to the widow, brought tears to every eye.
Truly a tragedy OF the stage, but played
behind the scenesl
Charles Bishop was born at Baltimore
ffty-six years ago, studied medicine, received
a doctors diploma and served as a surgeon in
the southern army during the civil war. Be
fore the war he had made a theatrical debut
at Ford's theatre, in New York, and he re-
turned TO the stage and played throughout
the country with various organizations. The
loss of his son a short time ago gave him his
death blow. He was n rough but effective
actor, and his best parts were Pistol, with
Rignold, and the burlesque Blueskin, with
Nat Goodwin.
NINE. II BLIND
The life and death of Mime. Albertine, the
blind actress, also had its tragic character
istics. Her name was Hanna Manchester.
and she was born ffty-eight years ago in
Rhode Island. She married a circus per-
former when she was 10 years old and went
with him on the road; but she did not make
her first appearance on the stage until sew
eral years later, acting as Sophia In the
Rendezvous, ~ In Augusta, Me. She studied
with the once famous Pauline Deojardius,
who visited America with Fannie Elssler,
and soon almost rivaled her teacher as a
danseuse. Afterwards she appeared in sew
eral plays with Frank Chanfrau.
Next she went TO the Pacific coast, where
she had a company of her own for a number
of years, and then started for Australia. For
a long time she was almost forgotten, but in
1875 Capt, Ralph Chandler found her In an
asylum at Ballarat, a victim of colonial
fevern and totally blind. Kindhearted Capt
Chandler had her taken on board his ship,
the Swatara, and when they reached Amer.
lea took her to her sisters home, at New
Bedford, Mass, where she lived, an invalid,
until her death, a few weeks ago.
A 1 NKw "A
As each year passes, the great army OF
theatre goers seems TO increase in numbers,
and. of course, new theatres must be con-
SANITY built to hold the growing crowds,
and in few things has there been more prog
ress during the last half century than in
theatre building. The play house recently
opened in Harlem, N. Y, perhaps showst this
as plainly as any. The front of the building
is of white marble, deliberately carved, and
relieved by twelve pilasters of polished gran
lite arranged in two groups, ono above the
other. The cornice Is eighty feet above the
sidewalk, and Is surmounted by heroic mar
BILE statues of Terpsichore, Music and Drama.
One of the principal architectural features
of the interior is the magnificent marble
staircase leading to the balcony. The audi
torium Is nearly square, but the seats are ar
ranged In segments OF concentric circles. SC
