The crowning Characteristic OF theatrical
manager b. +. Keith, 10 those who know

and finish. When he has said "enough"
there is little else to be done. This is
demonstrated by the matchless temple of
amusement he has erected in Boston, the
handsomest theater in this country and
perhaps in the world. This beautiful pal
ace has been a delight to knights Tenn
Dlars and the thousands OF other visitors
I Boston, for il has been gorgeous re-
SORT and refuge right in the heart OF the
Eastern Metropolis.
Mr.. Keith has just issued beautifully
illustrated book, giving exterior and inte-
rior views of his theater in Boston and
also his theaters in Providence, New
York and Philadelphia. 1t is handsome

have received one. The illustrations, ac-
companied by carefully written descrip-
tions, include the Washington street en-
trance, the loggia, grand foyer corner
in the grand reception room, a section OF
the grand staircase, view of stage, recep-
tion rooms and parlors in the first balcony,
section OF the proscenium and private
boxes, the splendid proscenium arch decor
atoms, the wonderful dynamo, engine
room, and switch board, group picture of
executive and working staff portrait of the
remarkably successful manager, himself,
portrait of his able Lieutenant and conf
Dental associate, Mr.. Il. IF. Albee, and
portrait OF Mr. A. Paul Keith, his son; a
view of the Westminster street front of
Keith's Opera House, entrance OF Keith's
Bijou Theater in Philadelphia, main en-
trance of Keith's Union Square Theater,

tive book of its kind seen in this city. 1t

ASSAULTED A WOMAN.
The Brutal Conduct OF an ex-JaiI
Bird.
He Was Arraigned This Morning and
His Victim Is at the Hospital.

Elizabeth Mcpherson lies at the Rhode
Island Hospital in precarious condition
from the results OF a brutal assault made
upon her by Charles Hall, a colored man,
last Monday evening. AS was stated In
THE NEWS, yesterday, Hall had grudge
against the woman, for he was OF the
opinion that she had much TO do with
having him sent to jail Tor an assault on
another person a short time ago.
Hall was discharged from the county
Jail Sunday morning and went to his old
haunts on Dexter street and told some of
his chun that he was going to "do up
the Mcpherson woman as soon as he set
eyes upon her.
Late Monday evening he saw the woman
in her yard on Dexter street and at once
made for her. He first struck her power
ful blow about the head, knocking her
down, and then began to kick her about
the body. Hall was driven of by num-
Der OF Mrs. McPherson's neighbors and
the police notified.
Hall, as the police say, is slippery fell
low and a hard chap TO find and still
harder to catch as he can run like deer.
Several of the officers have made an at
tempt TO lay hands on him since Monday
evening, but he was too fleet footed for
them.
Last evening officer Luby was riding in
an electric car on South Main street when
he spied Hall walking along the street.
Luby jumped from the car, stepped up
behind Hall and soon had him fast.
Luby turned the fellow over TO officer
Reynolds, who took him to the PLAIN
street station. lie was arraigned before
Judge Sweetland in the Sixth District
Court this morning and pleaded guilty and
was bound over to the common pleas di-
vision of the Supreme Court In the sum
OF $1,000

the opinion that the wind will freshen, as
il did during the first trial race. Nigilant
got under way under mainsail, club top
sail and lib, and stood out toward the
end OF the Hook. AT a little before $50
O. m. Defender cast loose from her tow,
strength, and with Vigilant she headed
toward the end OF the Hook. Valkyrie
at that time was still at her moorings
with her head sails up In stops and was
apparently waiting for her owner, Lord
Dunraven. The wind vas west-north-
west, and about IL miles an hour, cloudy
and hazy, with prospects OF clearing.
Even al this hour more yachts and excur-
sion boats, large and small were out
than on any day OF the present season.
BY this time Valkyrie had hoisted her
maipsail and Defender was half a mile
TO the westward OF Scotland Lightship,
running along easily with all sails set
Vigilant, however, was fully two miles
behind. Defender passed Scotland Light
ship at 10. 04, and headed away in shore
on the starboard tack. The wind which
had been very light off shore, was then
blowing stronger in shore, and caused
her 10 throw some spray, although she
did not lower to any great extent. De-
fender went about on the port tack at
1907, and stood back toward Scotland
Lightship. Vigilsnt was then within
mile Ol l0e shIlt poiiit. ~ AVsoO
preparations were being made 10 start the
race from the Scotland Lightship.
Defender passed the end of the Hook a
few minutes after 80 a. m, followed by
Vigilant some three minutes later. The
enormous increase in the sail spread of the
Defender, in comparison with Nigilant,
could be plainly seen from here. She
carried il with apparent ease. The wind
was then w. N. W., and blowing at
about nine miles an hour, and the weather
still haZy.
Valkyrie, in tow, was coming out to
have a look at the racers, and possibly TO
test her speed against them. She had
her mansail and clubtopsail aloft, and
her staysail and Jib were hoisted on stops.
Nalkyrie's enormous clubtopsail caused
considerable astonishment among the ex-
perts present here who said that nothing
like ii has ever been seen in these waters.
The wind had become puffy, and was still
hauling westward, but the haze was rapid
ly disappearing. The start, according 10
a signal from the judges boat, was to
be from Scotland Lightship. Later the
committee boat signaled that the course
would be triangular, three legs OF eight
miles each. The stakeboat then anchored
in a position, which would make the
first leg OF the course southeast, and at
II 10 blue peter, the preparatory signal
was set, and the yachts prepared for the
start.
The Gould steam yacht Atalanta and
Valkyrie were then outside the Hook, and
steam yachts and craft OF every descrip-
ton sailed toward the starting line. The
tug Plover, previous TO taking Valkyrie in
tow, had put Lord Dunraven on board
his yacht displayed -his-colors as she
went around the Hook and toward the
lightship.
1:l0 a. m. Blue peter, the preparatory
signal, has been hoisted.
The first leg of the course will be south
east.
11:21 a. m. The yachts have started.
After some pretty maneuvering, the two
yachts got away in the following official
times

HIGHLANDS OF NAvEsrNK, n. j., Aug.
90 AT O'Clock the prospect for lively
contest. in the second trial race between
the yachts Defender and Vigliant, was not
bright. The wind was light and over the
w ater hung a haze that was little more
penetrable than fog. The two American
racers and Lord ~Dunravenis- challenger,
Valkyrie III, passed the night moored in
the horseshoe bend inside OF Sandy Hook
within nice distance, not too near to
worry each other nor yet too far for their
handlers and crews TO be unable TO watch
every movement of importance on board
the rival craft.
The directions OF the Americas cup
committee for the race today are as fol-

Shortly after the start Defender began

The wind at the start had moderated
considerably, and was bowling only about
six miles an hour.
The start was a remarkably fine one, in
fact, nothing better could have been
hoped for.
AT IL :34 both yachts were standing
along shore and then getting into calm
spots. About three miles astern OF the
competing yachts was the British chal-
lenger, Valkyrie, with her mainsail, club
topsail, foresail, jib and baby jib topsail
pulling nicely.
Defender and Nigilnnt at the Start both
carried mainsa.ls, club tOpsails and bal

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
Young Harrison, the expert billiardist
of this city, and Charles Capen. the
well-known player of MINNEAPOLIS. will
commence a billiard match at the West
hotel which promises to eclipse in in
terest anything Of the kind ever held
here. Harrison Wills attempt to play
$500 points to Capen's / 300, and it will
require every afternoon and evening
OF the week to finish the match The
first three afternoons will be given to
the West hotel and the first three even
lngs to Foley's billiard parlors, Eighth
and Wabasha. The last three after
moons the men will will play at Foley's
and the last three evenings at the West
so that all who desire to see the games
will have abundant opportunity to do
so.
Harrison and Capen have both been
playing we'll Of late and the odds of
to 1 will doubtless equalze them suf-
fciently to assure the enthusiasts
some rare sport in this line This is
but the forerunner of several such
matches for the winter and the ar
rangement gives one man as much
chance as the other. Harrison has
won every match in which he has gigen
odds of to !, and the chances are that
he will win this one, although at

The Western league season of 1895
ends this afternoon. Whatever the
results of today,s games, there will
be no change in the positions Of the
teams 1t has been a foregone con-
clusion for the past month that In
dianapolis would take the pennant
because of the long lead the club had
at the end of May. On the 1st day
of June Indianapolis was in the
lead with 20 games Won and 6 lost At
that time St Paul was last with 8
games won and Is lost. 1t is thus
easy to figure that the Apostles
were Il games behind the leaders.
From the l. ~ of June, however,
the st. Paul team has outplayed
every team in the league and landed
in second place. Since June 1 the
