CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-This was emphati-
cally foot ball day in Chicago.
This morning at IL o'clock two games
the University of Chicago and the
famous University of Michigan. the
other between the Chicago and Boston
Athletic association. A brighter day for
foot ball never dawned
Unfortunately however for the happi-
ness of the true foot ball maniac, the foot
of rain and snow. has left the fields in
such slippery condition that, in spite Of
the scraping, sawdust, and salt which
scores of Iaborers have been giving
them, much of the picturesqueness OF
the game, the ''round the ends" plays,
etc. will be eliminated.
The plays viii necessarily be directed
at the line. and in this respect Michigan
will have an advantage that may win
the game for the Ann Arbor athletes.
Their line is considerably heavier, and
the rigidity of it was we'll displayed in
the game with Harvard when even those
past masters of the game could do moth
ing with it This may be Offset however
by the fact that the Michigan men are
still sore from their hard battle with Min
nesota last Saturday while the Chicago
men, realizing the immense Importance
Of at least making good showing in
today's game have been training hard
and faithfully with the result
that with the final wind up of the long
hair season eleven better conditioned
men representing Chicago university
never stepped on the gridiron.
Taxing Michigan's game with Har-
ward as a criterion, and her signal
victory over Minnesota, who in turn
have vanquished Chicago early in
the season, it is true Chicago has
apparently a small chance of even scor-
ing but foot ball beiug essentially an anna
teur game and therefore.with no suspi-
cion of crookedness is full of surprises
and the superior condition of Stages
men may tip up another OF long list of
miscarried "cinehes" and give thom the
victory. The teams will line up as fol-

DOLPH TURNED DOWN.
GEORGE w. M7BRIDE CHOSEN
SENATOR FROM OREGON.
THIRTY BALLOTS TAKEN
In Yesterdays Session Before the
Long Deadlock Was Finally
Broken.

SALEM, Or, Feb. 23.-George w.
Mcbride, ex-secretary Of state, was
elected tonight on the thirtieth bal
lot, United States senator, to succeed
John Dolph. Senator Dolph's sup
porters held a caucus this morning,
at which the senator said that since
heShad received the caucus nominal
ton, the matter of his withdrawal
from the contest was not subject to
his personal control. He left the
matter with them. Twenty-three
declared they would remain firm.
The anti-Dolph men held a caucus
in joint session. The first ballot re
suited: Dolph, SO; Williams, 81; Hare,
TO-. Ra1ey, 6; Fulton, 1; Lord, J.;
Waldo, l; absent, 2. -.'
After eight ballots had been taken
without material change, voting was
suspended till 7:30. When the recess
was taken the outlook was for a dead
lock, as the Dolph men seemed to hold
enough strength to prevent an cleo
ton.
The joint session reassembled at 7:40
p. M, and the struggle was on again.
Dolph still held SO votes solid, but
there was little hope of his election.
At that hour it looked as if any one of
a dozen candidates might be elected.
The eight ballots taken today gave no
Indication of the final result.
First ballot tonight: Dolph 81, Will
Jams 80, Hare 10, Fulton 2, Weatherford
1, Raley 6. Second ballot: Dolph 81,
Williams 1, Hare 10, Raley 6, Fulton 80,

miliar with this play, and therefore it
needs no encomium. 1t has been rec
ognized all over the country as a
strong creation, and as the only drama
setting forth in straightforward,
picturesque manner the conflict be-
tween labor and capital. Without. en-
tering into the endless maze of ar
guments pro and con, it presents in
terse and graphic style the rights OF
both, and convincingly demonstrates
that brain cannot do without Drawn.
The play is not without heart interest
either. for it tells of the love between
the daughter of the selfish mill owner
and the foreman of the works. 1t is
further frightened by amusing scenes
between a couple of quaint, untutored
mill hands, a boy and girl, who DO
not speak the most select EnsllSn III
the world, but are just as interesting
nevertheless.
The leading role, that of the foreman
will be assumed by William MOTIFS
an actor of wide experience ana I'M
questioned ability, who is well known
here. The supporting company, which
is represented to be thoroughly COM
netent. includes Miss Eta HAWKINS
whose previous good work msures
commendable impersonation OF the
leading female role The engagement
is for three nights with SATURDAY

Robert Hilliard scored an artistic
success during his engagement at the
Metropolitan opera house the past
week His business increased with
each performance. The double bill,
1.-The Littlest Girl and 1.-The Nomi-

gramme The engagement was such
a success from an artistic standpoint
that Manager Scott has arranged with
Mr.. Hilliard to play a return engage
ment at the Metropolitan, beginning
Sunday evening, March 8. When Mr..
Hilliard returns he will present the
beautiful little one-act curtain-raiser,
1.-THE Littlest Grip and his new play
Lost Twenty-four Hours" Mr.. Hill
lizard thinks it will prove much bet
ter vehicle for him than 1.-THE Nomi-

Mr.. Hilliard does return that he will
receive the patronage he justly de-
serves. Seats and boxes for Mr.. Hill

Gilbert's Opinion Of Beerbohm
Trees Hamlet--Gossip Of
the Stage.

The visit of so distinguished an
artist as Robert Downing, who Will
play an engagement of four nights
and a matinee at the Metropolitan
opera house, beginning tonight, can
not but be regarded as theatrical
event of Importance Mr.. Downing
has been before the public for about
fifteen years, and for the last eight
or ten years he has been starred IN
the legitimate drama. During that
time The Gladiator, "Virginius,
Marc Antony" and "Ingomar' have
lifted him to the front rank OF pop
ularity. Mr.. Downing possesses the
heroic frame ana deep, resonant
voice, and a positiveness of manner
that peculiarly fit him for these
great roles. He is a heroic actor OF
the school of Forrest and McCul-
Tough. Mr. Downing'S insight into
character is deep, and his studies
careful. During the period that he
has been before the public, no actor
has shown greater growth in depth
of feeling and breath of interpreted
ton. William Winter, the scholarly
critic of the New York Tribune, was
one of the first to recognize the trend
of Mr. Downing's genius, and it is
now five years since he declared
that the young actor was the hope
of the American stage. Time is vim
dicating the writer's predictions.

The Girl 1 Left Behind Me, a
Thrilling Military Drama.
The well-known military drama en-
titled 1.-THE Girl 1 Left Behind Me
will begin a weeks engagement at
the Grand opera house this evening.
.oThe Girl Left Behind Me" is, as It's
title indicates, love story, but OWING
to it's military environment, the scene
being laid in a United States army
post in Montana, the play has come
to be known as a military drama.
Soldiers. Indians and rifles are IN
abundance, but not a shot is fired IN
sight of the audience from the hrst
act to the last. Nevertheless the play
is anything but tame. 1t is full OF eX-
citing episodes and thrilling scenes,
which form an effective contrast to the
tender, quiet love passages at arms
which are skillfully introduced.
