in this city will take place this after
noon when the Alumni foot ball team
will meet the team from the School of
Lackawanna, Scranton. Both teams
are confident of victory and have been
practicing hard for the battle. The re-

whether the team will disband or not.
Before the big game the Tigers and

At the Baldwin,

'"The Bathing Girl" which was introduced
by the Whitney Opera Company at the Baldwin
Theater last night, proved to be clever, UMPIRE
tentious little opera, containing a number of
humorous situations as well as some catchy
music The work was well within the powers
of he company, too, and was consequently sat-
isfactorily acted.
With all these things in its favor however,
"The Bathing Girl " bored the audience before
the end of the third act. Some people even
confessed to being bored before the end of the
second act. The reason for this seemed to be
that 1.-THE Bathing Girl" is an opera with q
purpose, and when people go TO see an extrav-
aganZa they want only to be amused, and re-
sent being instructed. Itwould not be fair to say
that the little opera in which Miss Dorothy
Morton shone last night is didactic exactly,
but its object is TO ridicule titlehunting Ameri-
cans, and it carries out its destiny relentlessly
through all the acts.
Every one is a lord, an heiress, millionaire,
or has some other title to universal fame III
the first act. The second act discloses the Wall
street magnate to be q dry-goods clerk, and
the last act reveals the fact that even
the lord is in the same position, while the
ribbon at bargain sale. The characters &C.
eept their humble lot with contentment, how
ever, and all ends happily. There is no doubt
about the cleverness OF the satire on q certain
set in America, but satire has not enough
human interest to last through three acts.
Some of the music was decidedly pretty and
well sung. William Stephens was good both in
"On the Stock Exchange" and in "The Song to
the Swiss" Dorothy Morton's rose song was
also good, and Oscar Girard as Lord FitZpoodle
gave humorous rendering of his role. The
other characters were well supported, though
tune and the orchestca strayed at times pain
fully off the key.

At the Tiyoli.

The entire strength of the Tivon company
was brought into requisition last night for the
performance of "Little Robinson Crusoe," the
new extravaganza by John P. Wilson and Jo-
seph Hirschbach The piece proved to be
bright and catchy and, on the whole, made
quite hit.
The final scene represents the old English
part of Hull, with a man-of-war In the back
ground. There are some effective songs in this
scene, particularly Oracle Plaisted's Sweet
hearts AGAIN." Branson and Rafael as the
buceaneer and the lieutenant, also nave
duet, IA Brace of Mariners Bold" which has
good swing to it. The storm scene is quite
realistic one, all the sails of Crusoes ship being
blown away, then she founders, and Miss
Sallinger as the hero is washed ashore on
raft.
An interval of complete darkness ensues, and
then tropical scene is represented. Hartman
as Friday, after pelting couple of sayages
with cocoanuts, celebrates his victory by sing
ing "Happy DAM which made quite hit
After the buccaneers ship has been wrecked
there are some good scenes with the goat and
the monkey. All through the extravaganza in
fac there are bright situations and taking
music, though the dialogue might with advan-
tage be curtailed in places. The scenery and
staging were excellent.

ON TO THE SOUTH.
HALF MILLION CLUB IN THE
AFTERNOON.

Shortly before o'clock yesterday after
noon the members of the American Band
neatly attired in blue suits and white caps,
took up their position in the waiting-room
at the ferry depot and began to make the
air resound with the strains of music.
While they were thus engaged in enter
tanning the hundreds that were gathered
around the depot, men in pairs and trios.
arrayed in travelling costumes and carry
ing satchels of all sizes and varieties, be-
gan to hustle into the waiting-room. 1t
was noticea Bile, too, that each one of these
later arrivals had yellow badge f1uttering
from the lapel of his coat, and upon the
ribbon were the words, United Califor-
MIA"
These were the distinguishing features of
the delegates who were going to Los An
geles as representatives of the Haf-miIlion
Club to attend the fiesta In the City of
Angels and also to afterward make a tour
through the State and impress the people
with the Importance of the new movement
toward reviving the latent energies of the
State and giving a substantial tone to flu
ture prosperity.
There were IA of the members of the
club in all, put there were many friends
came along, too. Some of the latter were
only accompanying the party across the
bay and as far as the Sixteenth-street sta
ton, while others were going clear
through with the excursionists.
At o'clock the ferry-boat Piedmont
pulled out from the slip. AS she did so
the band which was stationed on the upper
deck struck up "The Girl Left Behind
Me-" This was followed by Zone More
River to Cross" and afterward by "Auld
Lang Syne."
1t was charming day as regards the
weather, and the trip across the blue
waters of the bay was enjoyed to the
utmost by all.
Upon arrival at the mole the excursion
lists found train of ten cars waiting for
Truckee, Altamont, fangier, Istland,
Montemora, Lorna, San Vicente and San
Lucas. Then there was the dining-car
Del Monte and the smoking-car Golden
Gate.
Little time was lost in getting aboard
and then the locomotive pulled out of the
depot with the train, bent upon one of the
most important and significant trips which
was ever made through the hills and val
leys of the State.
The party was made up of representative
men. There were merchants, bankers,
professional men and persons in nearly all
walks of life, and in their faces shone
the enthusiasm which imbued them, and
in their conversation naught was heard
but expressions which had bearing upon
the purposes of the trip.
AT Sixteenth-street station the train
stopped, and those who were not going on
left the train. There were handshakings
and good-bys and words of hearty cheer
passed. Then the train was whirled away
on its mission of carrying goodwill and
