4 PRESENTA TON At THE CASINO,
CHARLES BARTON REMEMBERED BY SIX OF HIS
FRIENDS.

CHARLES BARTON REMEMBERED BY SIX OF HIS
FRIENDS
1t happens nearly every night that some half dozen
newspaper men visit the Casino late in the evening
In search OF any possible news Of theatrical Sort
Just why more news should emanate from the Casino
than from any other theatre nobody knows, but it Is
condition and theory that oonfronts the seekers
of exploded compromises and broken contracts. The
head Of the Casino news bureau is Charles Barton,
the business manager Of the house, and as mark Of
their appreciation of his many favors to them, the
newspaper resolved the other day TO make him a
Christmas present OF handsome box OF playing cards
and poker chips. This form Of present was chosen
because Mr. Barton never such things, and con-
soquently they may be expected TO keep for long
time and remind him Of his friends.
The presentation took place at 10 80 O'Clock last
evening, when six men, representing six morning
papers, net In Mr.. Barton's Office. One Of the six
had the box and began the exercises by making q
speech. After mentioning the circulation OF his
paper, he said that he felt that he owed much to
Mr. Barton, and was glad OF an opportunity TO ac-
knowledge it, Instead Of giving the box to Mr. Bar
ton, he passed it to the second Of the SIX men, who
then gave interesting address on the history OF
Christmas showing its connection with the Egyptian
pyramids. The third spoke briefly on the In
nuence Of municipal politics on comic opera, and
passed the box to the fourth man$wh said, in the
course OF his remarks that Mr.. Barton had genius
for the discovery of elopements that had never been
surpassed in the history of the drama.
After two more short speeches the sixth man
handed the box to Mr.. Barton. He had been much
overcome at first but by the time he got the box he
had so far recovered that he was with difficulty ro-
strained from making @ speech in reply. He gave
information, however Of new elopement. the details
Of which not published, it was afterward found
that the member Of the chorus In question was at
home having been prevented by sickness from elopng
at the time intended. After the exercises the whole
party went up to the auditorium TO hear Miss Marie
Tempest sing the nightingale song.
