of Music.

John L. Sullivan, erstwhile champion OF
the fistic world, is treading the boards in the
Academy of Music this week in the prin-
cipal role in s'The Man From Boston" Not
to put too fine q point upon it, o L. is
not yet as great as Booth, and from present
indications is scarcely likely to be-. True it
is that the character of Captain Harcourt
does not demand anything further than
walking backwards and forwards with ones
hands in one's pockets and from time to
time muttering. ..I1l fix you'll" or some
dreadful threat Of a similar character, yet
even in such a part a little acting is neces-
sary. John j.. supplies that little. 1t Is,
however, TO his credit to add that he has i'm
proved since his appearance here last. year.
AS to the play, 1t is a comedy-draina built
around a football contest. A wealthy man
has a son who is captain of a football team
and at the same time a dupe of a pair of
~rascals, who, of course, at the end OF the
play are found out, exposed and punished.
There is where John [. gets in his fine work.
Interspersed with the play are ballads sung
by Charles Nixon, Miss Nellie Lawrence IL
Miss Belle NUM-. Mr.. Bobby Mack essayed
some alleged comic songs of his own compost
ton, and occasionally made a dismal at
tempt to introduce funny business.
There were some good features in the
NAV. and if it is not Of the worthiest de-
scription, it is at least good pour pusser te
Nj. John L. Sullivan win be greeted at
the A academy of Music tonight by one OF the
largest and doubtless n OF the most en-
thusiastic audiences of the week. The
Scottish American Athletic Club of Jersey
City have organized a large theatre party
to greet their old fayorite. Mr.. Sullivan is
in fine condition, and will doubtless do
honor to the occasion by a special exhibition
of the manly art. No doubt speeches and
recalls will be in order, as Mr.. Sullivan is an
honorary member of the club.
The BON Ton.
There was standing room only at the Bon
Ton New Opera House, last night, and the
great audience enjoyed hugely the best
vaudeville performance ever given in this
city. The audience was composed OF an ex-
celfent class of people, and the ladies n
children found as much pleasure at the per-
formance as their escorts did. There was q
very large attendance from O'Clock in
the afternoon until the drop curtain fell at
half-past ten at night, and there Is every
reason TO believe that the exceptionally good
proeramme will be sufficient to keep the
theatre crowded every day this week.
OF the many attactiens Nile Rialta IN her
original fire dance was one OF the most sue
cessful. Jules Levy, the we'll known cornet-
ist was recalled d number OF times, an In
dication tina he is just as popular with
audiences as ever. Ward and Lynch in
their comedy sketch, Little Johnny Dugaii,
were very funny, the we'll known airing
ton Sisters in their mirror dance became
favorites. Mcbride and Goodrich, sketch
and dance artists, created much merriment,
and Stinson and Morton in their character
sketch were irresistible, and their, efforts
were rewarded by screams Of laughter.

The Railroad Cat,

''EveryOne has heard,' said Thomas
S. kainc, of Denver. Col. "of the rail
road dog whose exploits have been re-
counted in divers places and by vari-
Gus people. But | will venture to say
very few people have ever heard of Il
railroad cat, although there is one out
in my state which is a most remark
able traveller. 1t was Il special pet of
the wife of the engineer of q freight
locomotive, and it accompanies him on
every trip he makes. When the train
makes one of its long waits at the
depot the cat will go in search of fun
or mice. and at some of the most used
functions it is quite local pet. While
the engine is running the cat sits in
the cab or on the coal, and as its fur
is jet black, its beauty is not greatly
impaired by its peculiar surroundings.
Pussy must have travelled many thou
sand miles, for it has been doing duty
for several years and has never been
known to miss Il trip. The first jour
ncy or two there was much difficulty
about keeping the animal from jump
ing off. but there is none now. nor
does its owner bother himself about
aScertaining whether his feline pas
Scnger is aboard or not. The absolute
Indifference of cats to persons and
their attachment to places and en-
yironment is seen in this instance for
when last year the engineer got i'll
jured in il wreck and was laid up for
three months. the eat stayed around
the shop until the engine was repair
ed and then resumed her rides with
the substitute engineer. st. Louis
