Mr.. J. K. Emmett is quite as enthusi-
astic horseman as was his father. He

horses, as in July he proposes to ride

Jolly little Fanny Rice, whose success
in her New Jolly Surprise at the Bijou
has been the talk Of the town for the

cation in London and Paris. There was

Alexander salvini is fast esta blishing
a reputation for himself as the most
fertile Of leading men. So rapid has
been the rise of this gentleman that his
course is only to be bounded by the
limit OF conjecture. One success after
another, each possibly more daring an
effort than the other and proportion
ately more remunerative in critical
praise and the consequent shekels. He
has been playing to enormous business
in Boston in a series Of plays, and Mon
day night to an overdowing and enthu-
siastic house he presented Monte Cristo.
1t has become almost tradition that
there was only one star who could
make this famous old piece success,
and it was all the more significant of
the place this young man is taking in
that he succeeded in delineatiDg the
ct. al as clearly as he did. The prepara-
finno fov tho v~oI,, oksov. of Noua11o n
Rusticana, presented to Mr.. Salvinl by
Adelina Patti, are progressing.
The New York Dramatic News has
managed to stir up good deal of sen-
sation among newspapers and theatrical
people during the past ten days. Editor
Leander Richardson last week brought
suit against the advertising firm of q
p. Rowell & Co., claiming $40, 900 dam
ages sustained through misrepresenta
tion by Rowell & Co. of the Dramatic
News circulation. Mr.. Richardson
claims that the circulation of the
Dramatic News was cut down malicious
! ly in Rowell's directory because he would
not put an advertisement Of his paper in
that volume, in which Mr.. Rowell
advertisement of the Mirror, placed the

acter of this information Mr.. Richard
son deposited with Mr.. Henry Minero o.
the Fifth-avenue theater his certified
check for $1,000, which Mr.. Miner is *
hold as stakeholder upon Mr.. Richard
sons bet of $1,000 to $500 that the Ora
matte News's circulation exceeds that 0
the Mirror. He has offered to MAKE
this bet five times over. Tho Mirrol
this week declines to enter into tn,
wager, and the inference is plain.
| The love of our English cousin il
shown pretty clearly by Mr.. AugustiI
Daly's attempt to become member 0
the Garrick club. Actor Bancroft pro
posed him, and the great name was dul.
inscribed in the candidate's book. Th'
committee, however, incredible as !
may appear, did not appear to hanke
after Mr.. Daly's society, and 80 the nam
of the first manager of America wa
withdrawn. The Garrick is probabl
the highest classed Bohemian club i
the world. It is, however, the Bohemi
of purple and fine linen, and there
not trace of the sanded floor and clay
pipe idea in it's composition. Its mem
bers are'drawn from every social stratum
royal princes, bishops, peers, editors
litterateurs, scientists, painters and a,
tors. 1t is the hopeless ambition Q
every actor to become member, bu
the road into this club is even harder t
travel than is the famous camel pat
