ST. Louis Republic,
The trntupg season OF 1893 has virtually
closed, though a few more records may
yct be made In California and Texas.
The season has been one OF great bril-
liancy not only IN the oxtreme speed de-
vclopcd and the number OF new worlds
records nude, hut IN the largely increased
number that have entered the charmed
circle The season has also been eN-
tromcly prolific IN the number OF young
gteru-the baby trotters and pacora-that
have entered the 900 ana 2lb lists.

Chicago Times.
Miss Rose Coghlan has made q grand
stand play, or, as the erudlte Billy Bland,
who stopped over in Chicago n few hours
last week, calls II, a Bendaiesluo comp de
theater. She has come out boldly for Mrs.
Charles Coghlau No. ] and has fired her
brother Charles and his bride, nee Kuehne
Beyeridse from the company. 1t also APP
pears, and this Is extremely credtable to
Miss Coghluns heart. that from the first
OF this sorry business she has championed
the cause of the woman with whom
Charles Coghlan at least lived In seeming
wedlock for over twenty years. The let
tiers from Rose Coghlan and John 7. Sulli-
van, her husband, To the adopted daughter
Of Mrs. Charles Coghan, which the latter
has published, show that Charles Coghlan
has not the support OF sympathy of any
one in his defiance Of decency and his
friends are compelled 70 shut the door in
his face until he shall purge himself OF his
offense.
The engagement Of Maurice Barrymore
IN Charles Coghlans place is reported and
denied but theatrical authorities think
that he will appear in the Coghlan com
pany when "A Woman of No Importance"
Oscar Wnde's new play, is produced in

IN the name OF that sense Of decency and
