THE CLEANER.

The Tenderloin Club gave an extraordinarily
good entertainment on Saturday evening
canvas covered In the "back yarI, which
was thus converted into a Summer garden.
ON the noor above select orchestra discoursed
lively airs, while Tenderloin "pipes and
tobacco" and stems rejoioed the crowd of
members who sat around the small tables and
listened. Altogether 1t was Q great success.
The parlor Of the Teuderoin was not thrown
open on the occasion OF the Saturday night
smoke concert The decoration of tins room
has been intrusted to a humber of the artists OF
this Club, and II 1t is not original It will not be
their tault. They had not progressed far
enough in their scheme to admit anybody to a
view, and so the paror was kept closed.
l saw some very clever s!eight- hand tricks
at an entertainment the other evening. Tine
performer, who claims to be Russian, used
no apparatus, and was within three feet OF the
people before whom he was performing. He
would tear up q cigarette leaf, roll IL into
ball and then unroll 1t whole. He rolled It
again, passed 1t to a spectator, who unrolled it
and 1t was in pieces. This jugger caught the
pieces rolled them and unrolled the ball a
whole leaf. And 30 on.
Such Sunday as yesterday is q melancholy
one. The streets were as deserted as II the
town had been stricken with pestilence.
Nothing draws out more Of New YORK to the
open air than ine sunday. June has misbe-
haved itself pretty badly in its first week and
should reform at onca.
was surprised to ind that Elihu Root, the
well-Known lawyer is such a good Judge OF
painting. There Is no reason why should be
surprised, that know OF, except thatI fancied
such hard student OF the law could not have
had time 10 polish up very much on the
arts. But in large collection of paintings
Mr.. Root selected three or four as those which
he liked best, and they were really the best OF
the lot. Next to catching a witness, Root likes
10 catch game Dish. He is a devoted disciple
OF the rod, whether be Is in court or on q river
bank.
saw Gribayedoff the other day, the clever
drawer. lie win have something In q maCa.
zine next month which will represent the class
of work which he likes best He is very clever
with pen and ink.

evening and he connded to me that he was

Mace claimed the championship on the
strength of the challenge issued at the time,
but which Sullivan repudlated as unauthorized.
Ex-senator Mlcnael Z. Murphy, who was

coming Fall. He presented crayan portrait
of himself TO the AbrAm Barnard Association,
