cession that it is difficult TO keep tract of
them. The votaries of the national game are
unnumbered, and athletic clubs and gyna-
Sums are to be found in every hamlet in
the country. Thirty-five years ago the New
York Clipper and Wilkes Spirit of the Times
were considered sufficient to chronicle tine
doings of the sporting world, now there are
hundreds of papers devoted exclusively to
this class of literature, while the daily press
give it unlimited space.
Tommy Miller, formerly of this CITY,
fought Jem Ward at New Orleans New
YEARS. eve and was awarded the fight IN the
ninth round on a foul. Miller, however, uD
to this time had much the best of the en-
counter, hut in this round Ward got in a
killing uppercut dropping Miller to the floor
like a COB of mud. When Miller was rising
Ward dealt him another vicious blow in the
neck, and the referee promptly gave the
fight to Miller. The mill was for q purse of
$500.

New Orleans, where an illness nearly de-

Looking back over the printed reviews
of her work-now yellowed by the lapse Of
time-it seems that the characters in which
she was most admired were Meg Merrilles

Stage Laughter.

The average actor, who can portray
pretty much all phases of sentiment, is
a bad failure when his part calls for
audible laughter. From this condi-
ton it seems to be a fair conclusion
that iollity is more difficult to simulate
than sorrow. How many well-known
actors are there who laugh naturally
on the stage. Mckee Rankin, who has
certainly mastered the technicalities of
his profession. has stage laugh that
sounds like distressed cackle, ac-
Cording to the Dramatic Times. When
Lawrence Barrett laughs the cords of
his neck swell with the effort, very
much as they do when he is spouting
heroic speeches at the top of his voice.
Mr.. Barrymore has laugh that re-
veals his teeth, but reveals not the
slightest spark of geniality. Mr.. Kel
cey laughs totally without expression.
Mr.. Drew smiles and smiles and utters
no sound.
Aside from the various uncanny
noises produced by laughing actors,
their facial expressions while undergo
ing the process of cachinnation are
painful to witness. They look uneasy,
self-conscious and strained, as though
the effort hurt them. To be obliged to
laugh on the stage is to every leading
actor an ordeal of startling proper
tons. Comedians may find the path
of laughter less thorny, because they
are allowed to embellish it with eccen-
tricity beyond the borders of burlesque.
But sentimental actors seem so fearful
of losing their dignity that they dare
not laugh with the ring of true enjoy
ment.
A player may, with the slightest ex-
ercise of his gifts, reduce an audience
to tears, and yet be the most hopeless
ly absurd and unreal Laughter alive.
Clara Morris can bring tears from the
stoutest auditor without particle of
feeling on her own part But
when she tries to laugh her watchers
grow alarmed. We have not heard a
hearty or gentlemanly laugh upon the
stage for many years, and we do not I'M
derstand why it is that actors who can
perfect the smallest details of other
simulatis totally fail to conquer the
spirit of laughter.
