And Made Every Effort to Horse-whip a
Handsome Man.


Yesterday afternoon about / o'clock q
buggy was driven furiously down Fourth
street. The bay horse, with extended nos
trils and tail on level. aad struck a gait
which would have distanced Maud s.
The driver was wcll-kDown lady of this
city, aud she handled tho reins with all the
ease and grace OF 6recian chariot girl Her
one hundred and fifty pounds of loneliness
clad IN a light blue worsted dress, seemed
agiow with tevered excitement. The flashing
eyes. the flowing stray locks of dark hair and
the chnched teeth all bespoke desperate re-
solve and intense anger
On the sidewalk. u little ahead of the keen
pursuer. was a tall handsome man. whose
brown Derby hat and beautifully fitting
Clothes are seen every dav on the streets. His
movements strongly resembed Dan. Oleary
IN SIX days go-as-you-please pedestrian
match and his coat tails would have answered
ior progressive euchrc party.
IL was pretty race. The Brooklyn Handi-
cap OF the Suburban would not compare
with %. but tho horse had too many legs for
the lying nan. and rapidly he WAS being over
taken Tho alley was passed Ike the wind
and nearly 20 Canal street they raced. when
suddenly the man stopped. and then began to
run as quickly in the opposite direction.
The lady could not stop so quickly, but in
the narrow street with wonderful dexterity
she pulled her horse upon the sidewalk right
over an ash barrel and AZ quick * thought
lad turned and was again in hot persuit The
man had gained some little. but this she
soon recovered. As he reached Ginter's
alley he turned and fled down the
narrow way like frightened deer The lady
could not follow in tho buggy. but with a
tremendous wing Of the arms she swung her
horse back upon his launches. and grasping
her long whip, leaped out upon the ground
and continued the fight upon foot.
About thirty yards Of this seemed to con-
vince her that she weighed at least forty
pounds too much for this method Of pursuit,
so with the perspiration streaming down her
iace and her beautiful bangs falling in q
limp brown mass upon her forehead. she
leaped into the buggy and drove speedily up
Cary street.
The gentleman gave no backward glance as
he darted down the alley and his feetness OF
foot had evidently saved him from q borse-
whipping.

The Little Midget Actors.

Speaking of the Liliputians an exchange
says: As in the themes of fairy lore, one pict-
the little sprites dancing mid sylvan groves,
bright as the flowers aud tuneful as the summer
breeze that signs, alas! too often only in imagin-
alton, here the ideal springs to life and a merry
band OF little players tunes anew the imagina-
ton and brings us, in "The Pupil in Msgie,"
back to our childhood days, to fairy grottos and
midgets Mingled with the irrepressible merri-
ments of ''serious age" chimes the sweet treble
of chidren's laughter, and produces, in all, b
delightful entertainment. Franz Ebert is q
funny little man, the delight OF the "boys," who
realize how close to the wind he sails upon thei1
follies Erratie as dream, the shifting scenes
OF the moving spectacle are consistent, while
novel The ballet is all that could be desired,

.dered AS in keeping with the stature
of these little people, the voices of all are high.
and one can hardly realize that they not child
rem, but grown men and women, until, by their
superior acting, the fact is forced upon US. The
closing scenes happy termination and re-
deem the preceding three acts from sugges
ton OF thinness, because somewhat childish or
fanciful, and it is here the charming Fritz rises
boldly out of the ranks of the Liliputians and
presents one with genuine surprise in the art
of acting. AS the play ends with the opening
scene-the old shop with the automatons spread
like wax fgures-the impression is telt that one
has been on very pleasant, very happy, yet
somewhat cratic journey, but glad, even as
Fritz was, to get home again, satisfied that
