Ella Wesner is a wonder in her line of
work. She is perfectly natural in man
ner, and remarkable in facial express
sion, and on the stage appears to be a
man. AT a recent performance Miss
Wesner appeared as a Spanish mata-
dor. She sang the triumphal song of
the bull-fighters, and entertained with
lvivacious and graceful dances.
TOO REALISTIC.
visitor-And how did my little pet
like the theatre?
Little Girl-Not very much. The act
ors didn't act as if they was just actin;
they acted as if it was all so-an' that
made me uncomfortable.
"Why?"
''I felt just as if I was peekin' through
a keyhole into somebody else's house"
Good News.

Henry Irving has decided to be his
own manager when he comes to this
country for another tour. Bran Sto-
lzer his confidential business man, has
already booked nearly all his time for
season after next. Mr.. Irving feels that
the financial results of his tour are as
sured in advance, and he sees no rea-
son why he should not secure every
thing in sight, instead of sharing his
profits with an American manager. His
decision will cause Abbey, Schoeffel &
Grau to lose one of their best paying at
ractions.-Clipper.
A very amusing game of baseball
was played at the Polo grounds in New
York last Tuesday. The opposing
mines were composed of members of
1872 and THE Passing Show COM
panies, and the receipts were devoted
to charity. About 5000 persons attend
ed. The teams proceeded to the
grounds on hally-hos and were accom-
panied by a brass band organized from
their own talent. Instead of the con-
ventional baseball costume the players
appeared in the strange attire that
has so assisted their efforts on the
stage. Eugene O'Rourke and Marshall
P Wilder were umpires, and many
pretty women attended as enthusiasts.
The victory of the 1892" team was
probably owing to their mascot, which
was at the same time the Jonah of
their opponents. This important per-
sonage was a clothing store dummy,
set up in a chair behind second base
every time 1882" men took the field.
A reproduction of the game on any
stage-if any stage were large enough
would make a fortune for somebody.
While theatrical offerings may be at
low ebb, out-of-door amusements do
