THE TURF CLUB.
No Racing Meeting Yet Arranged For
But Prospect of One.

TOSIIJCU
A meeting of the Capital Turf and
Driving Club was to have been held last
evening to consider the advisability of
holding two or three days racing meet
ing in the near future. Several of the
directors were out of the city, however,
and no definite action was taken.
Those present informally discussed the
subject, and agreed that a good pro-
gramme could be arranged for some time
the coming month, probably about
Thanksgiving Day.
1t was decided to hold another meeting
a week from next Thursday, the 22d, to
take final action in the matter.

Minister to Guatemala. The comedy,
which we have seen played, is a charming
combination of humorous situations and
witty dialogue. 1t is sparkling through
out. the situations are provokingly laugh
able, the text crisp and bright, and the
interest well sustained. The leading
man of the company, Charles Dickson, is
well-known actor and light comedian
who has won his way by merit from the
foot OF the ladder. He will be remem-
bered as Jack Dexter in 1.-THE Wife,
company, and as the correspondent in
Held by the Enemy" Second to him
is j. l.. O. Homeyer, an actor of sterling
qualities, and who, as DIR. Hartmann in
"1ncog," gives the play especial strength
and vigor. Harry Davenport, brother
Of Fanny Davenport, the distinguished
actress, has the old man part, and though
himself very young, makes the old
General foremost figure in the comedy.
The women of the piece are Ellen Burg,
Alice Shepard, Clara Lipman and Nellie
Buckley quartet of very clever act
resses whose grace and intelligence
greatly enhance the pleasure Of the enter
talnment. The story of ''Incog" is that
OF young man who, being driven from
home by his father for refusing to marry
his ward. and persisting in loving the
wards companion, determines to return
lncog. so as to be near the object of his
affections. To this end he disguises HIM
self so as to resemble photograph which
he has picked up. Unfortunately the
photograph IS that of one of a pair of
twin brothers who cannot be distin-
guished from each other, one Of whom
has wife and the other a sweetheart liv-
ing In the same house. The brothers
both arrive, of course, shortly after his ap-
pearance. 1t is upon the complications
that arise out of this situation that the
play and the fun turn. AS prelude
TO the comedy, curtain-raiser is
played, a one-act comedetta that is thor
oughly enjoyable. 'Incog" we consider
success; it is a gentecl comedy that
meets the public taste for light, cleanly,
mirth-proyoking plays, but is wholly
free from the extravagances and coarse
ness of the farce comedy. The box-sheet
opens at $3.50 tomorrow morning.
There was hardly seating-room at Nc

clowns are irresistibly funny, and there
is freshness and sparkle in their witt
clsmS that is quite refreshing in these
days of stale jokes. This afternoon and
evening will conclude the stay of the cir

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this and
tomorrow evenings Sol Smith Russell
viii appear in his new play, Peaceful
Valley" by Edward f. Kidder author of
"a Poor Relation in which Mr.. Russell
made such a success on the occasion of
his last engagement in this city. There
was a large demand for seats at the box
office yesterday and the probability is
that the house viii be filled in every part
tonight The press is of one opinion re-
garding the play-it is agreed that it is
the best in which Russell has vet an
peared, and that it is a delightful
bit of nature 2framed with exquisite
art. On "Wednesday we spoke
fully of Sol Smith RuSsell's art and the
excellence of his dramatic work. 1t is
not necessary, therefore, to again traverse
the ground, more than to say that he is
inimitable, that his character acting is at
once pathetic and richly humorous that
there is the wholesome quality of truth
about his acting, and that he relates his
name TO nothing that is not clean, elevat-
ing and rich with humane feeling. No
comedian of his cOuI v has stood abreast
with him upon his ground. For he is
wholly original and not one has attempted
even an imitation of him. The same sup
port Mr.. Russell had in San Francisco is
with him on this occasion, and the press
agreed that it is thoroughly competent.

John f. Kelly of Fairfield. Mr. Kelly is
on his way to Rome, where he will de-
vote five years to the study of theology
at the American college in order to pre-
pare himself for the Catholic priesthood.
Being native of Fairfield, his career is
of considerable interest. Born in Fair
field, January q, 1868, he received his
early education at the public and paroch-
ial schools Of the village. Afterward
entering the class of 81 at Holy Cross
college, Worcester, Mass, he graduated
with high honors. His marked ability
and sincerity while at college arrested
the attention of Bishop Mcmahon of the
diocese Of Hartford, who Immediately
adopted him for this diocese. 1t is under
the guidance of Bishop Mcmahon that
he is going to Rome. The esteem in
which he is held by his many acquain-
tances was well displayed by the num-
Der who went to New York to bid him
bon voyage.

Is it consistent for man to pray for

time help to spread the DEVILS kingdom
by carting and selling apples for the
manufacture of cider brandy?
notice accounts ia the newspapers OF
strawberries found in October of this
year and the question has been asked
why this is so. The explanation is this:
The strawberry, in common with nearly
all fruit bearing plants, after having
borne one crop of fruit, needs period OF
rest before bearing the next. This rest
Nature gives in the Winter, but if, on
account of excessive heat, drouth or any
other cause, the plants stop growing and
remain partially dormant during several
weeks In early Summer and start into
vigorous growth later, the result is often
a small crop of Fall fruit. These con-
ditions have been unusually favorable,
this year. My family have been indulg-
ing in strawberries and cream since the
duced 1000 bushels during the regular
strawberry season. L picked, October

size and flavor to the June crop. They
