is at the Westminster Theater this week.
The company is composed Of 20 young
women and half that number OF men,
the latter being comedians OF an inter-
esting sort. The company was greeted
with large audiences yesterday afternoon
and evening, and the program presented
was satisfactory. The bill opened with
a minstrel first part, which was staged
excellently. This was followed by a
lengthy olio in which Raymond and Lee
Clark appear in a singing and acrobatic
sketch, which was very clever. Mile
Vera in a daring and novel aerial perlor-
nance. Phyllis Ruffell, Ray Marvin, Lii
liam Nelson and Blsnch Wsrde, in songs
and dances. George Il. Bebsn, an inter
esting comedian, the Sisters Dolores, the
best dancers in their particular style, and
Hickey and Cole, comedians and dancers
who seem to take chances of breaking
every zone in their bodies. This portion
OF the program closed with a set-to be-
tween Katie Stewart and the Tommie
Gillon. .
The whole concluded with q burles ue
entitled, ~"Jingo's Daughter" IN which
all Of the company took part.
The costumes worn by the young
women are the richest seen at the West

BETTER RESIGN.
Dunrayen May Thus Avoid Expulsion
From N. Y. Y. C.
opoNNELL WHIPPED BY mAHER.
Corbett's Pet Knocked Out In
Less Than a Minute.

Nrw YORK, Nov. 12.-Therc is much
talk among members of the New York
Yacht club of expelling Lord Dunraven
from the club, OF which he is an honorary
member. for his course Of imputing
knowledge OF fraud TO Messrs. Iselin and
Smith in the official measurement of the
yacht Defender prior 20 the recent races
for the Americas up.
Members OF the New York Yacht club
say il is not necessary to prefer charges
against Lord Dunraven in order TO expel
him from his honorary membership.
They say that under chapter 20 of the
bylaws he can be summnrily dropped
from tho roll. That chapter reads as fol-
lows:
In case OF an occurrence injurious 20 the
welfare Of the club, the name or names of any
member implicated therein may be removed
from the list OF members by a vote Of "a ma
jority OF the yachts represented at any general
OF special meeting.
There is endless indignant and bitter
talk among yachtsrnen here, and much
calling of the earl n liar, blackguard- and
a cad, usually with a forcible prefix.
Everyone knows that Iselin will go TO the
limit OF fair dealing to win n race; but his
worst enemy knows equally that he is i'm
capable of such "A trick as Dunrayen
alleges.
On the other hand, n few of tho COOLER
and wiser heads suggest that the club ig-
more the charge altogether as a matter be-
meath the attention of a body of gentle
men; and that it refuse further entries
from Lord Dunraven in any of its races.
In the end. the action of the club will
probably lie between these extremes.
In any event, Dunraven's career as a
yachtsmen in America bids fair to end
with this episode. Even those who have
upheld him in some of his plants are in
dignant at his newest charge. Hence
forth, he and his boat are nearly sure TO
be ostracised among yachtsmen and clubs,
and socially the strong Iselin influence
will nave similar effect.
The waging OF the contest over the i'm
ternational races has passed out of the
individual hands of Iselin and Dunraven.
1t is now the New York Yacht club hat
will deal with the charges made by Dun
raven. A special meeting of the club has
been called by Commodore Brown for
next Monday night to consider the latest
statements of Lord Dunraven in the Lon
don Field. AT his meeting n committee
will probably be appointed TO act rs a
court of inquiry. All the persons who
had anything to do with the Defender
during the time Of the cup races will be
summoned rs witnesses, and the charges
made by the defeated English yachtsman
will DO thoroughly probed.
