Inportnnce of n PLAYS NamC.

THE best advertisement that u play can
have aside from its own merit, is n good
title" says Thomas III. Davis OF New
York who will manage no less than eight
plays the coming theatrical season. Tho
title should bo descriptive, but brief 1t
should give such an idoa of the contents
of the play that n description is not ncccs-
sary. l consider such tito as On tho
Mississippi for example, or On the Bow
cry or Down In Dixie worth several
columns of description and several miles
of pictorial posters The Nero names Mis-
sissippi,' 'Bowery, and Dixie convey
ideas of all that the mind has ever asso-
oiated with them. l attribute ut least half
of tho remarkable popular success OF Tho
Hustler to its title. y good instance of
a happy title is seen in The Passing
Show Many play has title that fits
it exceedingly we'll, but is ambiguous or
unattractive to people who haven't seen
the play. In choosing n title from several
that are appropriate an author ought to
put himself in the place of one who has
never heard of the play, and he ought to
select the one that gives tho largest notion
of what the play Is and that is ut the Same
time most striking on its own account

play, 'On the Mississippi from list of

About Playing the Lesson Over.

Many teachers just play the lesson
over for the pupil and then say, like
Bach, 1T must sound like this This
is sufficient for advanced pupils only,
for all others much moro instruction is
nocosSary-viZ, what to do in order that
it may ''suund like this.
Neither is it always necessary to play
the whole. perhaps very lengthy, piece
over for the pupil y few single isolated
passages are often sufficient to pave the
way for thorough understanding.
Sometimes, when We have strange
piece rather difficult to undcrstand-for
example, the first pieces If Bach, Schu-
mann or Chopin-it is necessary to play
the whole piece over before the pupil
begins to practice on it. AT other times,
however, it is Il good plan to let the pu-
pill work his way alone, q little way per-
haps, i'll the Interpretation and manner
of execution Of a new piece, and after
ward give him the necessary directions,
or perhaps practical help by playing it
all over for him.
1t is also IL good idea to allow ad-
vanced pupils to take up piece and
work it IN entirely to the best Of their
ability until they play it correctly, in
their own estimation, or till they DO not
see anything moro i'll it. Then let the
teachers Judgment and experience exert
their influence upon the work. During
the first year the teacher should play
nearly everything over repeatedly, says

low Yonng Colts.
The college baseball championship for
1894 came to an end Saturday, June 16,
when Nalc defeated Princeton at Eastern
park, Brooklyn, In the decisive game. 1t
cannot be said that the season has been in
any way brilliant. 1t must rank in merit
far below many seasons which have pro
coded it. The playing has been of an in
fcrior kind the enthusiasm has hardly
been up to the standard, and there has not
been the usual amount of college talk over
the games which prevailed few years
ago. Probably Harvard s wrtched show
ing had good deal to do with this damp
ening state of things. Whenever Harvard
and Yale boil down to be the confronting
factors in any athletic event, the interest
naturally reaches high tide, because there
always was and always will he moro rival
ry between Harvard and Yale than be-
tween Yale and Princeton.
Harvard's baseball failure this year was
in part made good by the unexpected sue
cess of tho University of Pennsylvania
team. The latter owes much of its success
to it's two pitchers, Boswell and Schoen-
hut, and to their catcher, Coogan, and
first baseman, Goeckel. OF the two pitch
ers Boswell has done fairly good work, but
Schoenhut is the one on whom the team
built its hopes of getting good position
