directors meeting. in his later years, he
advocated some measure opposed by a
polnpous and overbearing capitalist, who
tried TO discomfort him by interrupting his
remarks, and cried out: BILLY Gray,

You did, said Mr.. Gray, land didn't

Billy Gray drummed well when he had to

Who will Win the Big Billiard s1atchs

The coming billiard match between
Schaeffer and Slosson is already attracting
good deal of attention. Both men are prac-
ticing and hope to be in fine form for the
contest. To show how evenly the men are
matched, in the estimation of betting men
and experts not dozen big wagers have SO
far been laid on the result.
II wouldn't bet dollar on it, said bill
lard expert to ME. 1T is either mans
game until the last shot is made Both men
have nerve and skill, and it all depends on
how they feel. Siosson should win, but I
don't think he will. He is sometimes
troubled with nervous dyspepsia, and if he
should have an attack of it the night of the
the match Schaeffer will walk away with
him. 1t all depends on Slosson's liver, SO
far as he is concerned. And as for Schaef-
fer. he is too venturesome, and likes to
make 'sky-rocket Shots as he calls his
splendid round-the-table, half dozen-cushion
plays. But if he misses few of these he
loses heart and gives up too soon. But it

New YORK, Oct. 5.-This is going to be a
great winter for horseback riding in New
York. Fads come and go with unusual
frequency in Gotham town, but horseback
riding. seems to have such a firm hold that
it is likely to be more popular than ever
this winter. All the big riding academies
have prepared for brisk season. New and
well-bredp saddle horses have been brought
from the South and West, and expert teach
ers from England, France and Germany
will show New Workers. the true art of
craftsmanship. The general impression
that horseback riding is an expensive
amusement is true in a decree if one goes
into it in whosesale fashion, but there is a
happy medium, and those who do not try to
Guido their wealthy brethren may have no

riding, and young men and old, slim girls
and stout matrons, and even little children,
go in for the sport. 1t is quite the rage.

Walking Back to the Big City.

Wrecks of the early winter theatrical sea-
son are already seen in New Yorl1-maaa-
gers whose ventures have failed after 4 few
nights out of town, tired-looking actors who
seem to have walked home, and bedraggled-
looking women, whose faces tell plainly of
their disappointments. 1t is the old story
OF poor plays, poor houses and the refusal
of the ghost TO do his weekly pedestrian
act. And vet in the main the theatrical
outlook is very good, for with big crops
comes plenty of money and an army of peo-
pie to be amused. But it is 4 survival of
the tittest. The poor plays are not patron
lied, and the managers of many come to
grief. There are many familiar faces on
the Rial to-day, men aud women. who
started Off 4 month ago filled with hope.
Some of them will be glad to shovel snow
for living before spring.

The Son of .Little Mac" a. Poli,ici.

Col. George B. Mcclellan, the treasurer
of the Brooklyn bridge, the son of Little
Mae is about twenty eight years old. has
smooth shayen face, blue eyes and pleas
ant manners, and at the moment he is very
popular in Tammany hall. There is moth
ing in him that indicates with arrogance
the fact that he is the son of the great gen
eral. On the contrary, he is modest about
announcing his relationship. although he is
naturally proud of his father. He is taller
than his father, and perhaps heavier set.
Until few years ago he was resident OF
New Jersey, his native state, and came by
the title of colonel by serving on the staff
of democratic governor. His duties as
colonel IN New Jersey were easy, and So he
has no harsh recollection of arduous mill
tary service One day four or five years
ago he came over and became 4 reporter.
He gathered railroad news and was consid-
cred very efficient He married Miss Heck
scher, daughter of Millionaire Heckscher.
Since then he has devoted himself to poll
tics, and is considered a rising member of
Tammany hall. He has considerable infiu-
ence in the organization, and his name is
always received with cheers. He is Young
man worth keeping an eye on.

A Hasty Glimpse of One of the Worlds
Greatest Tenors

Campanini, the noted tenor, is one of the
most familiar figures on Broadway these
days, and strollS about in a lackadaisical
kind of way, and always has pleasant
greeting for every friend or acquaintance he
may chance to meet. Since the operation
was performed on his throat, by which an
indurated substance was removed, his
sembles il tone its old-time sweetness. In
the ''Salve dimora'' his voice still takes a
high c, but is not equal in purity Of tone to
his high G of fifteen years ago. He does
most of his effective singing now In concert.
Campanini is study in himself. Although
he has been singing in this country for
many years, he is still uncertain in his
English. 1t is pigeon-toed, and the worst
of it all is. he cannot understand English to
any extent, whether it be pigeon-toed,
Cockney, Cambridge or Western slang. His
SURPRISING voice has mingled with the di-
vine tones of Patti and Nilsson, and ali the
really great prime dome of the present
generation. Gold poured into his pockets
as if it came from the tabled Pactolian
stream, all of which he lost in trying to
manage opera companies. He bought a
ligiously refused to hypothecate, and
the happiest periods Of his life
are spent there. In the sum-
mer months, when New York is dull,
and dead from heat, he goes to his farm,
meets his relatives and makes pilgrimages
to St. Agata to enjoy companionship with
his old friend. the composer Verdi. The
latter heard Campanini sing his operas in
his youth, and has never forgotten how his
voice gave them an additional charm Cam
panint was over eighteen years old before
he appeared in great opera, and his sue
cess was instantaneous. He was hailed as
wonderful tenor, and sought for by all the
great opera managers. His great, broad
shoulders, his gladiatorial neck, his splen-
did physical condition, all made him the
Achilles Of the operate world. and his
achievements have never yet been sur
passed.
Campanini is not over forty-fve, and he
is as strong as an OF, but for years he has
imposed upon his voice until it became the
echo of memory only. HIS wife is large,
handsome blonde, evidently from the north
of Italy.
Campanini does not live as high as he
used to, for adversely has taught him a
wholesome economical lesson. Besides CIV
ing lessons to pupils. he sings in concert
and not long ago he sang in q. choir for
good round sum. His rather thin hair is
