point out that these men. while unham-
pered by stage limitations, are able to
write very entertaining tales, but not pos
bessing the true dramatic instinct they
cannot interestingly depict the best por-
tions OF their work by means OF living
characters, and with only the aid of arti-
hoial scenery and the slight receptions
practiced behind the footlights. This is
but reasonable after all, for in story the
readers imagination is one Of the authors
most important aids, whereas on the
stage the audience must see or hear every

OF Mr.. Sothern's acting i regret that
there is little TO be said in commentator.
Had he not attempted TO master the Cherry
street dialect his occasional lapses into the
Wbitechapel accent would not have been
en- marked. Mr.. Sothern evidently realized
his Limitation in this direction and sought
70 hide it by rapid talking and frequent
oaspinOs. accompanied by tuggings at the
neck of his shirt. But the stage setting
was admirable, and aided by this and bis
really conscientious effort to make as much
of the monologue as possible Mr.. Sotherns
performance was ON the whole somewhat
forcible. This actor is improving rapidly
in his own line Of nigh light comedy, and
IS gradually getting rid Of the many little
n1annerisms which have tended to mar bis
art.
Miss Marguerite Merington, the author OF
captain Lettarblair," went to Boston
few days ago to read her play, "Goodby,"
TO Manager Field, Of the Boston museum,
where it is to be presented at an early day.
Miss Merington also took advantage OF
the opportunity TO explain to the stage
manager her idea of every character in
the play. Unlike Captain Lettarblair,"
"Goodby" is not a comedy. 1t Of course
contains a comedy element, but in the
main is serious. II might be appropriately
designated as a drama pure and simple.

ny" reduced to rules.
Golf may be played by any numScr Of
persons. The only implements required
are the ten kinds Of golf sticks and
the ball, which is Of gutta percha and
about IL inches In diameter. The one
great objection TO golf is that it requires
such large piece of uncultivated ground
for its proper playing. A golf field or link
should be a couple of miles long and as
wide as possible. Around the edge of the
link, at intervals of 200 yards are sunk tin
pans few inches in diameter, with their
edges On a level with the ground 1t is the
aim of the player TO start from given
point and drive the ball into each of these
pans IN succession.
The person who gets back to the starting
point first wins the game. This makes Of
golf a good deal Of an obstruction foot
race. This is not the invariable rule. for
frequently it is decided that the winner
shall be the one who pockets" the ball
the greatest number of times within a
half hour or So There are really no well
defined rules for the game.
Expert golf players sometimes use az
many as twenty sticks, but the ordinary
amateur is content with half that number.
The handles are all alike, but the crooked
part on the end has any number of shapes.
This Is made necessary by the positive pro-
hibition against touching the ball with the
hands, no matter into what position it may
get by accident. If it goes by the pan, it
must be knocked back. Every player, TO
provide for this contingency, has with him
a ''caddie," who is an individual carrying,
strapped across his shoulder, a large case
containing all the different shapes of golf
sticks. 1t is his duty after each stroke to
know just what stick his master will re-
quire and to hand it to him, at the some
time receiving and depositing in the Ease
the one which has just been used.
AS the game of golf involves principally
matter of time, it will be readily seen
that the ''caddie's" lot is anything but .
happy one, unless, as is usually the case,
he happens to be an expert golf player him /

While very large link for golf is desira- .
BILE, it may be played on any good sized lot .

tions. A 30-acre lot will make very

comment Is that the stories which we fire.

of the respect due old acquaintance.
Mr.. Sheridan, in his character OF an

The great objection to Skinny has always
been that it was entirely without rules
Everybody played it TO suit himself, and
usually il was nothing more than Wild
indiscriminate scramble TO get the ball
past a certain line, which, for want of a bet
ter name, was called a goal. In late years
narrow goal lines were marked out, but
this was the only real improvement in the
game until hockey as at present played
was invented The field should be a par
allelogram 100 by 80 yards with two goal
posts twelve feet apart in the middle %
each of the shorter sides Of the field.
There should be eleven players on a side,
just like football, and in fact most of the
rules are those of football, which hockey
bids fair TO rival as a fall and early winter
game. There are five forwards, three hall
backs, two backs and goal keeper on each
side There are different methods of starting
the game, but the fairest and most popular
is to place the ball (Which is exactly the
same as that used in cricket exactlyin the
center of the field. Then let one represent
alive from each team run from opposite
corners toward the ball OF course the
one who reaches it first will have decided
advantage, for until the ball has been
struck every player, excepting the two
runners, must remain motionless in his
place.
Many persons wear shin protectors but
these are not necessary if the game is
played according to modern IDEAS by
which, if a man should attempt to strike
from the left side, he is ordered out Of the
game by the umpire, whose decision is
final He cannot be struck on the shins,
however, as Of yore. Another thing, to
get the best results and greatest amount
Of enjoyment out of hockey there must be
no tripping or "roughing" Of any kind.
In fact it is desirable TO prohibit IN adj
vance the intentional touching Of one
player by the other, the taking Of the ball
in the hand or any interference with an
opponents stick except by another stick.
This makes the game genteel and reduces
danger to the minimum.
