Mansfield Memorabilia.

This popular actor has been honoied
through the British Minister at Washington
by 4 communication from thrr Royal High
nesses, tie Prince and Princess of Wales,
and he has also received personal letter
from Sir Dighton Probyn. conveying their
Royal HighEesSes' warm thanks for mes
sageS Of coincidence sent by Mr.. Mansfield
on the death Of the Princes eldest son. .
1t is said no one has ever seen exactly the
wonderful makeup Of Mr.. Mansfield in DIR
Jekvi and Nj HYDE" The stagebands
and the actors of his company never see
him as Hyde other than MS audience sees
him. Whenever he comes fTOuI the dress
lng-ToOm as that character the house Is
darbened and all on the stage feel the same
shudder pass over them as he walks by
them that the audience experience.
Mr.. Mansfield is unsparng OF expenses and
eXactlng "a to detail. The supper served bv
the Baron Chevrial in ''A Partisan Romance"
is always genuine banquet, with real wines
of the best brands, served by the best cater
eTs; as for example. when in New YORK. By
the Hoffman House. Those who have seen
Mansfield in beau Brummep remember
that in each OF the first four acts he wears
three roses in the lapel of his coat, and that
in each act they are of different cOlOrS. He
insists upon fresh roses every night, and
would be Mortified at the suggestion of arli-
fetal ones. Immediately upon the pie
ton OF Mr.. Mansield's tour on the Pacific
Coast he will journey 10 England, where his
marriage with Miss Beatrice Cameron will
take place. Miss Cameron is delightful
assistant and excellent foil to Mr. Mans
fields genius, and it is pleasant to know
that the professional association so long
maintained Will be completed by sweeter
ties before the sunshine Of next summer
shall have vanished. Mr.. Mansfield, at the
conclusion Of his San Francisco engagement,
will visit number Of cities, including Los
Angeles, Seattle. Tacoma, Portland, Salt
Lake City and Denver. and his company
will comprise: Dir. Richard Mansfield, Mr.
Andrews, Mr.. w. ii. Grifith, Mr.. f. Finch
Smiles, Mr.. +. c. Butler, Mr.. ii. Gwynette,
Mr.. I. f. Graham. Mr.. ii. Deyere, Mr..

The Horse Drama.

Wallck and his horses remain at the Bush
street this week. He will produce "The
Cattle King" which has met with such
success for several seasons. 1t does not re-
quire special mention, but. as those who have
seen it know, for actual business which the
audience can understand it surDaSses any
thing in its line, and altogether the play is
one we'll calculated TO diSpel any tendency
to lethargy, and would break up the worst
case of catalepSy on record. The leading
character of the piece Bob Taylor, as given
by Dir. Wallick, is an excellent line OF act
ing. In both plays Mr.. Wallick's famous
horses are seen to advantage. There are
plenty of good speciality people in the sup
