A Chariot Collision.

The following description reminds one in
a degree of this arenic scene ia ben Hur."
Forepaugh's circus was in Springfield,
Ohio, recently. A Roman chariot race was
the last number on the programme, and
large part Of the audience was standing at
the time There were four horses abreast
to each chariot, and they started off to-
getheT nicely. The drivers were John Nice
and Mary Hunt While turning one of the
corners of the course at full speed the two
chariots collided. Nice'S conveyance was
turned upside down, and he was tossed up in
The air and down TO the ground, but bravely
held on the lines under the feet of the AMI
mails at the risk of his life. He finally let

madly around the ring. the upturned char
lot striking the guard netting at every
bound. Ladies screamed, and many started
TO run. An army of circus employees was
by this time in the Enclosure, and the horses
were finally stopped. Nice was painfully
cut and bruised. bnt it is believed his in
juries will not be fatal.

Nj Richard Mansfield has ventured on
the difficult experiment Of bringing out
play founded on Byron's hero called don
Juan; or, the Sad Adventures of Youth
Ell peor hombre fue en- ell mundo." as
the inscription runs on the slab where the
bones of the Don are supposed to be buried.
Mr.. Mansfield has Increased the difficulty by
avoiding every incident or allusiOn which
might be thought indelicate. Without the
characteristic sauce piquante, dish OF Don
Mansfield treats the subject, the hero is
shown TO be a light-hearted, fun-loving
ynungster, who escapes the care of his
tutor and with the rascally valet LeperellO
goes off and INDUCES in a filtration, HARM
less in purpose, but sufficient to arouse the
of Navarro. who lursues him Telentlessly.

A Dramatfc CURIOSITY.

"The Lilliputians," or midget actors, who
commence an engagement at the Baldwin on
June Sth, will undoubtedly be surprise,
If not an establishment, to our theater-going
public. To assemble them from all quar-
tiers in Europe has cost much time and
large amount of money. The company
numbers 200 artists, the principals being ten
wee people who, although small in stature,
are highly accomplished actors and singers,
gifted. in fact, with unusual stage talent
THE PERSONNEL
Miss Selma Goermer, the leading SOU
brette, is only thirty-one inches, and is a
brilliant interpreter of comic opera.
Mr.. Franz Ebert, the tot" of this small
company, measures only twenty-elght
inches IN his stocking-feet, but is the prln-
cipal comedian. The Eastern press COM
pares him to C0quelin and to American
actors of the Jefferson and Nat Goodwin
standard. Jefferson and Florence pro-
nOunce him the most talented comedian ever
seen III the United States. A mere wink OF
his bright little eye. shake OF his we'll
formed head. or funny gesture with his
little hand, will cause general laugh IN the
auditorium.
Miss MneheD Becker. the leading lady;
Miss Tony Mesiter, dialect actress; MISS
jaeger, clever ingenue, and Miss Ida Mahr
complete the female east.
Mr.. EbertS' colleagues are: Mr.. Johann
Wolfe, heavy comedian; Mr.. Adolph link
and Mr.. Herman Ring, low comedians, and
Mr.. Max Walter. the tenor.
THE PUPIL IN MAGIC"
A spectacular play which these midgats in
tend to produce, has had a run Of more than
three hundred times in the United States.
Ii combines comic opera with refined
comedy. has an interesting plot and bright
and witty dialogues. Two symmetrical
ballets are included in the performance.

1t is the intention of Manager Hayman to

ment of this play, and also the original
company, and make its production at the
Baldwin the feature OF the present dra-
matte season.

Gordon TO accept an engagement in London.
Jessie Bartlett Davis has been quoted as
quite likely to lead company of her own
hereafter. and it is asserted on the other
hand that a handsome increase of salary
has induced her to remain with the B0s-
tonians. Since its first organization as the
Boston Ideals, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, Marie Stone has been the leading
soprano donna of this company, and no
singer has bean more faithful to the require
ments of her position than she. Her retire.
ment is positive loss to English opera.
Miss Gordon is comparatively young, and
has much to learn, but she has the right
mettle, and will win her way to distinction.
Who will succeed the two sopranos remains
to be seen. Though Dame Rumor is full Of
conjecture. no announcements have been
made By the BoStonian management

which the Philadelphia Press SAYS he never
