AN exchange says: "The famous Star
is looking remarkable well after her hOl-
iday, which was spent mostly at her
home in AontmOrency, near Paris. Rhea
seems to have changed scarcely at all
since her last visit to this city, except
that she is looking younger and if posi-
BILE more attractive. Her summer vaca-
tiOns are periods of veritable recreation
America each season with renewed
strength and artistic vigOr. Rhea's &C
quaintance with the literary and artistic
celebrities of Paris prevent her holiday
from being in any sense dull one, but
she understands the value of the repose
which is obtained i'll the atmosphere of
delightful home and congenial domes-
tic surroundings. This may be one of
the secrets of Rhca's graceful and ami.
mated manner in private and of her mag
netic vivacty upon the stage. Her nat
ural amiability of disposition prevents
her worrying about trifles and her artis-
tic work is, therefore, unhsmpered by
care or anxiety. Rhea's position as
star has been marked by steady advance
ment in public favor and esteem, and her
career is remarkable for the absence of
sensational methods of advertising which
are so frequently employed to catch pub
lie attention. Rhea's diamonds have
never been stolen, nor has she been the
heroine of hairbreadth escape from acct
dents of any nature. In consequence of
this immunity from sensational notorie-
ty, Rhea is enabled to devote her time
and attention chiefly to the perfection of
the performance given by her company.
The public are, therefore, distinctly the
gamers" Rhea is surrounded by a com
pany of unusual excellence, including
Mr.. w. S. Hart, whose performance of
Guide Melnotte has received the highest
praise from critics of other cities. At

THEY came, they saw, and were con-
quered, expressed the sentiments of the
Y. NJ. c. A. eleven after their victory
over the BlaCkintOn eleven, in a well con-
tested game of foot ball, the fourth of |
the season, on the Soldiers Home
grounds, Thursday afternoon. The Wis
iting eleven, although not the equals of |
the home team, played good game and |
took their defeat in the best of spirits. |
The attendance of spectators was larger !
than at any preceding game, and |
showed that the interest in the game is
growing among our people. That the
practice of the home team has been ben
efGial to them is shown in the great i'm
provement they have made since their
first game was played. There were
some remm kably good exhibitions of
playing in the game, especially that of
