PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

'Jmpulsc" is an old fashioned piece of
playwriting, simple in plot and treatment
and with no claims to brilliancy OF dia-
logue, the interest depending on winning
the sympathy of an audience in its char
acters and securing their plaudits
for the development OF those parts
which stand out from their fellows
by reason of more elaborate drawing OF
their pictures to which the plot and the
balance of the cast contribute. 1t is
essentially stock company, rather
than star piece, and as produced
by the artistic English couple it
is Mr.. Kendal's play rather than
Mrs. KendaPs. In feet Mr.. Kendall
contrives TO get SO much out of the breezy
and fetching part of Captain Crichton, a
bluff and honest Englishman, who, next to
his love for following the hounds, is con-
spicuous for his loyalty to those he
counts as his friends, that the whole piece,
well played as 1t is and with an ample
supply of effective situations, becomes
merely contributory to the development
of piece of character acting. Mr.. Kendall
has made fine study of
kind of part which always wins
an audience and no more
delightful bit OF artistic work has been
seen on the stage Of the Providence this
winter. Mrs. Kendall, her own talents
also serving chiefly to contribute to the
character developed by her husband, is
sweet and winsome as a widow with a
backward lover to coerce on the one hand
and a sisters honor to protect
on the other. The lights and
shades OF this part of Mrs. Beres ford as
portrayed by Mrs. Kendall last evening
are of charming effectiveness and, despite
the fact that her niche is not large one,
it is her face and figure inspired by the
act OF womanliness at the last curtain
that is likely to remain longest in
the memory of the auditor and
spectator. The supporting company
seemed to find particularly congenial
parts all through, and a large and brill
liant audience gave evidence of sincere
enjoyment of the simple story so delight
fully told on the stage
This afternoon the Kendals are pro-
ducing "a Scrap OF Paper" and tonight
the all too short engagement closes with
"rhc Queens Shilling"

The result OF today's match demonstra-
ted that Ailsa was very tender while beat
ing off shore in the second round and that
she is overloaded with sail, but it
hardly indicates that she is not an
able boat In a breeze. The wind rose SO
suddenly at the beginning of the second
round that both yachts had to take in
their topsails hurriedly. Ailsa subse-
quently had two breakdowns and as
matter OF fact, could not be sailed with
such press of canvass, having to be
stayed, as it was too risky to jibe her.
No one could have foreseen the blow, and
with a reefed mainsail and smaller
iibsail she would have shown herself q
different vessel. Ailsa will want another
trial in breeze before IL can be said she
is only light weather craft.

AiIsa Led Until the Race Was

A FIuke OF Wind Helped the Prince
of Wales Cutter.
Valuable Prizes Given by the Town
of Nice and open to All.

NICE, March 27.-The match for big
yachts which was declared void on
Saturday last by the racing committee, on
the ground that both Ailsaand Britannia
crossed the line before the starting gun
was fired, valkyrie /, also being disqual-
fled for not carrying side lights after
dark. was raced today.
The race was for prizes given by the
town OF Nice and open to all yachts OF
over 20 tons, Yacht Club of Fance meas
uremepts. The course was triangular and
had to be sailed over three times in order
to complete the total distance of 80 miles.
The starting gun was fired at 10:40, at
which time only light club-topsail
breeze, which gave the yachts beat of
two miles and half to the first mark,
was blowing.
Although the wind fell away to almost
a calm directly the yachts crossed the
line, Ailsa crept STEADILY to windward
and was two minutes ahead of Britannia
at the weather mark.
At the second mark, on the first round,
Aiisa was over five minutes ahead, but
fiuke of wind helped Britannia consider
ably, and she was only one minute astern
of Ailsa at the end of the first round.
BY this time the wind began to increase
considerably in strength and Ailsa took
in her topsail and seemed to have carried
something away. Britannia was close up
to her at the weather mark on the second
round.
Under the strong breeze the Britannia
won in the third round. The times OF the
yachts Mt the finish were:

THE GREAT TOBACCO WAR.

Many of our readers know of the war existing between the manufacturers of plug chewing tobacco, but few, perhaps, are familiar with the cause.
 For years some manufacturers have been making enormous profits by giving consumers a small piece of plug for 10 cents. Recently a very large manufac- turer, seeing that the time had come for better things, has placed a new brand called Battle AK on the market, which gives the consumer a very large piece of most excellent quality for the same price. This has raised a great storm among those who are hurt by 1t, but it gives joy to those who use the goods. In Battle AK they get @ greater quantity for their money. while the quality is equal to the finest of other brands. This has naturally had the effect of greatly decreasing the business of those who have held to the old way, and it has materially curtailed their enormous profits. On the other hand Battle AK now taxes the resources of three large factories, which by running night and day, are still unable to make the goods fast enough to satisfy the en- thusia stic demand.
 The people want a good thing and the most if it that they can get for the price. The manufacturers who do the best by them will get their trade. Their rivals naturally do not like it. They raise a mighty howl, but the AK will cut them down
