LIEUTENANT-CO MARCEAU.


What He Had to Say About a Story
That Was Published.
Theo. c. Marceau, Lieutenant-C Colonel on
the staff of Governor Markham, waited on a
representative of THE CALL last evening
and called attention to an article published
on the 18Th of November. in which it was
announced that he and his wife had sailed
for Australia, and that previous to their
departure there had been some difficulty
between the two He stated. after declar-
ing that there was no foundation for the
story circulated about his having had trouble
with his wife. that Mrs. Marceau did not
go riding in the park with gentleman,
that he did not see her there, nor did he
have any trouble with her in their rooms
at the Palace Hotel, nor have fistic en-
counter with ii man for the alleged rea-
son that he had been out with his wife rid
ing in the park. He stated, however, that
he had had difficulty with a man named
Rochert and came to blows, but il WAS
an entirely different matter. And that
one evening he ran up against a chiffo-
nier in his rooms aud upset few small
articles, which frightened his wife. That,
he said, was all the trouble he had had,
and" said he, II would say that there is
no happier and more loving couple in this
city than my wife and l."
The ColOnels statement places the mat
ter in an entirely different light, and makes
il appear that the story circulated about
Mrs. Marceau was not based upon substan-
tial grounds

SPORTING NOTES.
Club Exhibition - Tennis and
Athletics.

The California Athletic Club gave its
monthly entertainment last evening. 1t
consisted of four-round bouts between local
serappers.
Billy Kehoe, who is matched to fight Billy
Smith at the Occidental Club next month,
will 90 into training on Monday.
Ii has been stated on good authority that
Patsy Cardiff has come to this city with the
intention of winning the short end of the
purse given by the California Club for
fin ish contest between himself ana Joe Nc
Aulitfe. Men who have seen Cardiff in the
buff this week report that he is as soft as
mush and in NO condition for a fight to
finish.
Billy Madden has sent the clubs of this
city articles of agreement which, If satlSfac-
tory to them. will insure contest to finish
between COrbett and Maher. Madden asks
for a purse of 5000, which is about $1,000
more than the fight is worth to any club.
Madden may rest assured that he will not
succeed in arranging any such contest here
until such time as Maher proves himself
hTst-clasS man.
Quinn, the wrestler, who graduated on
this Coast, is now in Canada, and has is
sued challenge through New YORK sport
ing journal TO wTestle any man IN America,
collar-and-elbow, for $500 side. He styles
himself champion wrestler of the Pacific
Coast.
Alexander Greggains states that he did
not present La Blanche with 500 after the
fight, but on the contrary La Blanche
done" him out of 500 by having failed to
put up forfeit that he would be at weight
on the night of the contest.
The Directors of the Oakland Canoe
Club are making arrangements 10 move
from their old quarters at the foot of Alice
street, Oakland. They own a clubhouse
which is said 10 be worth $500 and when
they decide to locate in new quarters the
house will be removed to the site, The
latest proposition discussed was to have a
barge constructed on which would be
located the clubhouse, The idea Of a club
house on a float, although novel, will if
carried out, materially assist the canoeists
TO locate their headquarters at any place on
the creek they may select.
The Alameda Bicycle Club has CONSOLE
dated with an athletic organization of that
town, and as consequence has changed its
name to the Bicycle and Athletic Club of
Alameda" The Directors say that they
will have track for bicycle-racing before
next summer.
The next event of importance in tennis
circles will be single match on Christmas
day at the California Club courts. The
trophy will be cup. If Taylor will not
enter the contest will center in a race be-
tween Hubbard, Yates and Tobin, and
there is little doubt but that the former will
carry of the prize.
The members Of the Acme Athletic Club
of Oakland will give ladies night" next
month. On that occasion the winners in
the recent field day events will be presented
with their medals.

MiGWeek Notes of Business at the
Different Theaters.
Willard Excels Eimself-The Sullivan Play.
Boys and Girls General
Mention.

Willard, as Cyrus Blenkarn, in 1.-THE
Middleman," seems to have taken on new
life in the PRESERVATION of that character.
AT least we thought so last night as we
listened to him for second time. Per-
haps. however-consid erng the attendance
was thin on account of the rain-it might be
for the reason given by Handel when some
body told him there were but few people in
the eoncert-hall. "Why. then. the music
will sound all the better" At any
rate, this finished actor made splendid de-
livery of all his lines, and especially in his
Lear-like appeal at the end of the second
act, the text of which is so unusual to the
modern London dramatist that there is
slight suspicion that Mr.. Henry Arthur
Jones, the skillful constructor, may have
prigged it. But come from where 1t may,
the actor by its delivery carries The audience
off its feet, SO to speak. There IS some
inquiry why this drama should be
entitled "The Middleman." Webster de-
between two parties, broker, a go-be-
tween; and therefore, the middleman in
this drama is generally taken to be Batty
Todd, Chandler the capitalists manager
and the fuSsy eectioneering attorney.
when his principal ic DESTROYS of being re-
turned to Parliament. This is not So The
title of the drama has higher significance
The "Mddleman," from the authors
point of view, is Chandler himself, the
merciless appropriation OF Blenkarn's
body. blood and brains, who stands be-
tween him and his reward. growing rich in
the eyes of the public, while Bienkarn, his
