brought on by DR.. Parkhurst's attack
upon the vice of New York, and coincident
with the public interest in the discussion
of official corruption, Mr.. Richard Mans
field revived his Nero" at the Garden
theater. The presentation OF this historic
monster in all his lust and cowardice
might have had one good lesson for New
York if New York were in the habit of &C
cepting lessons from the stage.
Mr.. Mansfield with a good deal of DR..
Parkhurst' courage, set Nero forth with
out any extenuation. You know how ter
rible this actor can be in depicting the hor-

wonder if it occurred to any one who
sat blanched under the mimic spectacle
that Nero was the outcome of conditions
that are socially present if not politically
operative in New York today. Canon
Farrar, who has just published remark
able book on Nero, makes him the putrid
flower of a morbid astheticism. When
vice failed to thrill the tyrant's jaded
pulses he resorted to cruelty. Mr.. Mans
field had curiously brought out this fact
in his play. His monster IS an aesthetic.

brevity. The sparring stations first went
into training for the battle of life in Arabia,
and arrived in America about year ago.
They were taught the manly art of self de-
Tense at Bridgeport, Conn, and after five
months course of instruction are now quite
scientific hitters.
A boxing match between the two pugil-
istic equines is a very amusing affair.
When time is called John l. and Jim rear
themselves on their hind legs, strike reg
ulation sparring attitude and paw away at
each other straight from the shoulder.
They are provided with large, well padded
gloves, and are securely muZzled to pre-
vent any surreptitious biting when the ref
eree's back is turned, and also to protect
their noses from cross counters and right
handed upper cuts that might start the
claret. John l. is as much larger than
Jim as his Boston namesake's reputation
exceeds that of the California boxer; but
strange to relate Jim is by far the better
fighter of the two horses. Superstitious
sporting men might consider this fact a
Tip" concerning the great battle soon to
be fought between Sullivan and Corbett.
The stations seem to enjoy their daily
setto, for there is very little sparring for
wind and the fight is of the hurricane vari-
ETY. from beginning TO end, except once in
awhile when they get their forelegs over
each others shoulders in a 'clinch' to
avoid punishment.

Auction Parties.

Auction parties are something of a
novelty. On entering the guest is pro-
vided with the means to purchase-little
bags filled with beans, every bean tax
ing to itself dollar value. The 'Slots"
are carefully concealed from view, and
are being put in boxes and tied up in
varicolored tissue paper. 1t is not safe
to trust to bulky appearance, as often
the most promising parcel reveals an in
significant result. Some of the pur-
chaSes are dainty trifies, many absurdi-
ties and jokes. Funny catalogues add
to the amusement of an auction party,
which is really simply another way to
bestow ''favors. Her Point of View in

Mime. Modieska's Quick Wit.

Nine. Modjeska is one of the most self
possessed of women on the stage, but rs
prone to suffer from stage fright when she
is called upon to recite before small COM
pany. When this was recently the case,
Nine. Modjeska paused after she had risen
in evident embarrassment for moment.
Then she asked the company if she might
recite in Polish. They readily agreed, and
the great actress poured forth a speech SO
full of passion and expressiveness that her
auditors declared that they understood the
earnest heart story which she had told al
most as well as if she had spoken in Eng
lish. She then asked each listener to give
his or her idea of the subject of her re-
marks. All agreed that she had told a
Polish love story of great passion. Then
Modjeska announced that, having in her
embarrassment forgotten her recitation
completely, she, had merely recited the
Polish numerals from to 230.

belt, to which was connected wires run
ming down to the spurs, and when the
jockey gave the old horse a shock in the
homestretch she forged ahead with a re
markable squirt and won the race, paying
her hackers 100 to l.
At the time no one but the parties inter
ested knew the secret of Gyda's speed, but
Tobin tried the same trick again, his horse
acted very suspiciously, and investigation
revealed the presence of the electric belt
and spurs. The Delt was supplied with
four metal cells about the size of 10
bore cartridge, and the jockey turned the
current into his spurs by reaching inside
his jacket and pulling switch. Tobin
was ruled off the track.
