who, physically, was small-patterned man,
the son is of imposing presence and
with face that bears the impress of re-
finement. Although young at the time we
mention, his memory is sharp aud alert in
regard to the spirit of the old days, and his
free, graceful mannerof conversation makes
his communications delightful. In his
fluent remarks we lived over again the
old-school gentlemanliness of Blake,
the brilliancy of Brougham dixie men :

II IS not so long ago, when one comes TO look
back, that these choice spirits were forming
the history of the American stage; but it is
long enough to make the old New Yorker
feel goOse-skinned when he ventures on
comparison of the acted drama then and the
examples we have of it now.

Football has been such great success in
and about Pittsburg this season that already
plans are being mapped out for next season,
and it is safe to expect that the lively sport
will have greater boom in Pittsburg next
fall than it has ever had before.
The East End Gyms are already con-
templating next season, and during con-
versation yesterday Secretary Wells, of the
Gvmnastic Club, said: "We have made our
minds up TO one thing, and that is to have
some of the very best football teams in the
East here next year. w have proven that
the game will pay here, Us we cleared $500
Thanksgiving Day despite the bad weather.
This fact has prompted us to formulate
plans for next wear, and the chief
feature of these plans will be to secure
dates with some prominent teams early
next wear. | mean by this that We Will IN
the early part of summer make dates for the
ball games 1t will require us TO make
early application to secure good teams. We
will. | think, get dates with Lehig ID and
Cornell. OF course we will give Media
another try as we only paid them 5000 for
expenses Thanksgiving and their trip cost
them $3.50. but 5000 was all they asked for.
"OI course we hope to have local rivalry,
as the Three AS ought to be able to put a
good football team on the field next year.
j feel confident that the Gyms will be
stronger next season than they have been
this season. There will be lots of money in
football in Pittsburg. Oh no! do not eH-
pect that we Will see paid football players
fora long time vet. We are quite prepared
at the gymnasium to join any well estab-
lished league, and if leaugue is organized
in connection with the A. A. T., we will,
/ think, be in it just as our baseball teams
will contest for the A. A. L. baseball
championship next summer"
