THE woMAN's ANNEX TO COLUMBIA TO Ba
OPENED SOON.
Barnard College the woman's annex TO CoumDis
College, will open its doors for the examination OF
students on September 30. The trustees have rented
and furnished the largo house No. 343 Madison-aVeJ
between Forty fourth and Forty fifth SIS. IL Is
source OF especial qualification 10 those interested IN
the movement that so much work has been accom-
pIlshed In so short a time. Great satisfaction Is also
expressed at the fact that the interest Is not ndi-
vldua but comes from large number OF friends OF
woman's education. The money which has enabled
the trustees OF Barnard College to receive students
within six months after the time al which Columbus
College officially acknowledged the undertaking, has
come in large part in the form Of yearly subscriptions
Of 800 each. Equally encouraging l. the enthusiasm
which it has met from the members OF the Columbia
faculty who will conduct the work OF it, first class.
Barnard College begins work with thoroughly
equipped botanical laboratory the gift of few els
thusiatic friends Of this study Much OF the fitting
has been purchased In Europe during the summer and
the laboratory will be in order to receive students
when the college opens. In this country there is
strong tendency IN favor OF the sciences, both Q
means of culture and with reference t. their practical
advantages. This IS especially true Of botany, which
Is attracting greater degrees OF interest thaa ever
before and which IS generally acknowledged to be- 81
all the natural sciences the best suited for
As science I'm the widest sense, It IS both broad and
deep enough to render Il OF severe mental
discipline, while those students not wishing the mora
difficult portions Of tho work may choose Lighter
ones which are In themselves full OF interest AZ
the present time there is no botanical laboratory open
TO women where advanced courses are offered them
Of such a nature 10 fit them for Independent ia-
vesugation. The Barnard College botanical labora4
tory offers advantages 10 three classes Of students.
Its field will be, primarily, that sought by women
who holding first degrees from Barnard and other
colleges desire To work for higher degroe and 10
mako botany their major subject Again, 1t will
ceiye special students who wish 20 mako a study OF
some department Of botany, but no do not work
with reference to a degree, ard Il will finally gys
instruction TO undergraduates.
Barnard College has set no limit upon her ambiton

the girls and women of New York Shn trusts THAI
other friends inspired by the gift OF the botanical
laboratory will be equally generous IN establishing
proper physical and chemical laboratories In giving

The players are three In number, divided
into one forward and two backs, who are Sc
lected as the best and called print These
players stand on the respective sides OF the
dividing line, which may be on the ground,
or raised, as at tennis, and known Nv the
names, cordino basso and alti, respectively.
One OK the players, the rnandarino, on the
battuta side, mounts one of the boards and
prepares for run. When ready he rushes

which he strikes with his full force No rule

1t VIII Hardly Take the Place of Tennis,
Though 1t Is a Good One.
Pallonaccio, according to the Italian die
tionary, signifies "a large football, )" whilst
pallone has the same meaning In addition to
its also standing for ''air balloon"
It is with pallone as a football that we
have TO DEAL and that is the name Of the
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 it is only
those who have seen them in their own coun-
try who know that beneath that apparent
eternal search for the dolce far niente there
is vast deal of energy and vivacity, which
breaks out In their sportive moods.
1t will surprise most people to be told that
TO the Italians we are in reality indebted for
our tennis, racket, lawn tennis and fives, and
that pallcne, the game from which all spring,
is the connecting link between the 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 a
bracer, precisely as the game now about to
be described played.
To play pal ne properly an open air court
is needed Of smooth and level surface. It
should be about 800 feet in length, with lines
marked upon it as 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 sum-
ner recreation, the court should liz east and
west 50 that the wall viii throw shadow by
which the players are protected. Pallone
can be played without this wall, but it is not
then the perfect game, since the boosting"
that can be accomplished ''of" it is very
important.
The court Is divided into two unequal
parts, one being ten feet longer than the
other. At the very extreme end Of this,
what is called la battuta platform) is
placed, and when the court Is properly con-
structed this is on the western side. On this
side planks are placed, one end of each plank
being elevated from the court, after the fash
ion of spring board
The ball is large one, weighing twelve
ounces, and perfectly inflated, so that it is
very lively in movement and rebound. The
imitation is a point Of the utmost Importance,
as any deafness is destructive to the game
In Italy, during the progress Of q game Of
pallone, assistants known as pallonari are
constantly busted in initiating balls not in use,
because the violence of the blows very soon
deadens their vitality.
The ball is struck by an instrument known
as the bracciale, a stout wooden cylinder
having at one end a cross piece, which is
grasped by the hand after the forearm has
been thrust down the bracciale, which is
covered with faceted studs that get grip
Of the ball The bracciale weighs about four
pounds, and in consequence tremendous
blow can be dealt with it.

The GILBERT BUST.

Mr.. Gnberts career was 50 long a one that
even a catalogue Of his engagements would
be too voluminous for short sketch. In
1862 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 Abb
solute, LORD Ogleby, John Thornberry and
Old Dornton. The fame If his Sir Anthony
Absolute entities it TO be placed at the head
of tie list. It is difficult to believe that the
choleric old Englishman ever had q better
representative. His figure, his face and his
voice fitted the part exactly; tbs 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 a
little deficient in polish The ideal Sir Peter
ought 70 have an air more courtly than that
which Mr.. Gilbert impaired to him; but per-
haps even this objection is open to the charge
of hypercriticism. By way Of contrast with
the explosive Sir Anthony take Old Dornton,
In 1.-The Road to Ruin" No more perfect
picture OF probity, benevolence and tender
ness could be imagined. There is almost as
much pathos in the old mans honest out
bursts Of indignation as in his 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 bed been assigned 20 the important role
of Sir Frederick Vernon in Rob Roy He
knew his lines perfectly, but when he went
upon the stage and attempted 10 speak be
could not utter word. The air grew black
and he became faint almost TO the point of
falling. Then the audience began to hiss.
This, in measure, restored him to his senses.
but at best he could only humble through
the part, and be retired from the scene dis
heartened and mortified II is said 10 be the
first and only time during his long career
that he ever forgot his part or was Kissed by
an audience.
Immediately afterward he redeemed him
self by the admirable manner in which be
acted an old man, very strong part, IN
piece called The May Queen" and it was on
this occasion that the natural bent Of his tai
ent was first displayed Thereafter he APP
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 10 his experience and
self confidence until ne finally made his way
back again 10 Boston and procured an en-
gagement at the fremont theatre.

A singing Couple.

The history of opera could record many
instances where the presence Of husband
and wife on the same stage has been
forced upon an impressario to enable him
to secure one of the pair. AS rule,
however, it invariably transpires that the
famous prima donna is weighted with an
incompetent husband, or vice versa,
and as the pair, like two
headed nightingale, cannot be
separated, the manager endures and
pays both for the sske OF one. Such
couples are 80 affectionate that they can
not bear to see stranger step in and
play q temporary Romeo to the opposite

The subscribers to the theater and the

uf the opera house in 1870, and his
wife affected such partnership
but he had such vile temper,
and in marrying Signora Maccherini had
claimed so desperate virago, that the
pair upset the usual order of things
they could scarcely be trusted to meet
on the same stage. So fearfully jealous
were they of each other that if one hap,
