FAUST AT THE COLUMBIA.
Superb Rendition of the Opera by
the Metropolitan Company.

Faust was cIng and acted snperbly
last evening before Il fine audience, at
the Columbia Theater, by the Metropolitan
English Grand Opera Company. Madame
Januschowski was apparently at her best
in the character of Marguerite, of which
she has not only II true dramatic con-
ception, but emphasizes the passages of
with magnificcnt and SYM
pathetic Voice. This was particularly true
lyrically and dramatically OF her whole
scene, and its passionate and beautiful
music with Faust, in the finale Of the gar
den scene. For the jewel song and other
familiar melodies Madame Januschowski
was repeatedly applauded and recalled
Miss Lizzie Macnichol makes an ideal
Siebel. She is a dream as the pretty boy, in
which part the divine Scalchi, SO fat and SO
unapproachable in cuntraltp, is a very gro-
tesque Siebel, indeed. Miss Macnichol was
recalled four times after the flower song.
Sufferin' Bey isn't in it with this favorite
singer and actress whenit comes to looking
the ideal masculine in domino. A very fine
part was that of Mr.. Mertens as Valentine.
He sang the music well and with spirit,
which was conspicuous in the death scene
with Marguerite. 20
The Faust was by Mr.. Payne Clarke, the
Mephlsto by Mr.. Ricardo Ricci and Martha
by Miss Emmy Miron. Mr.. Payne was, Of
course, warmly applauded for the salve
dlmora and for the exquisite duo with Mar
guerite in the garden, as was Mr. Ricci for
his solo in the same scene, the serenade,
and his solo in the second scene of the first
act Madame Jamschowski will appear
tomorrow night as Carmen, the part which
she created in Vienna and in which She is
said to appear to special advantage.

BAD DAY FOR RACES.
Weather Affected the Eugene Field
Bicycle Meet.

The selection of yesterday for the bicycle
races of the Eugenc-Field monument fund
proved TO be very unfortunate one with
regard 10 the weather. The raw chilling
wind and occasional showers had a very
depressing effect on the attendance and
at O'Clock when the first race was
started there were not spectators enough
present 10 form corporafs guard.
The bad weather affected the racers
considerably, and although there were
several pretty contests, the time was de-
cidedly slow. 1t was a bad day for
favorites, several OF the crack riders show
ing up very poorly Fred Schadc was
way below his usual form, and in several
races he dropped out before the races had
fairly started.
The features of the meet were the sur
prisingly good races of young Dannemiller
the Georgetown boy, and also the work
of Wilson. The latter is a conner and
next season the cracks may have to look
10 their laurels, for this speedy youngster
is sure TO lie in the front rank.
There We're several accidents but none
resulted seriously, with the except on
OF the collision between Hebard and Smith
in the two-milc handicap, in which Smith
sustained fractured wrist.

William Walcott; John Hill, second Time,

MONEY UNLAWFULLY SPENT
Baltimore Directors of Insuranc,
Company Held Responsible.
Many Prominent Men and Thousands
of Dollars Involved in an Im-
pOrtant Suit.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1.-THE American
casualty Insurance and Security Company,
which recently cut quite u figure in the
courts OF New 1Ork, To-Day scored a victory
Through its receiver in an action TO make
the directors of the company personally
responsible for moneys alleged to have been
uniawfullg or neghgently invested by the
directors OF the company and thus lost.
Inc case was brought by D. X. Este
Fisher, receiver OF the company. against
Harry 4. Parr, L. F. Abeli aud other
Maryland directors OF the orga anization.
The directors answered the petition, but
at the same time objected 10 it on legal
grounds, claiming that there was no cause
OF action against the directors and that
the petition was multifarious. On both
of these points the judge decides against
the defendants.
The bill alleges that loans were made
to officers OF the company contrary to
charter Some OF the directors objected
TO this and resigned on being overrulad
by the board. withstanding the fact
that the illegality Of the practice was
brought forcinly TO the attention pr di-
rectors by this protest and the subsequent
resignation OF the protesting directors, the
practice was continued by suSeee ding
toards.
The contention of the plaintiffs, as
summed up by Judge Dennis in his opin-
ion. is that the directors erred and made
themselves liable by not having called in
the Illegal loans, by not having forbidden
additional Illegal loans; by not telling
the stockholders OF the Illegal practice so
that they might protect themselves
The judge decides that these are GOOD
grounds for action against the directors
He also decides that the directors are
not wrongfully included in the bill as
defendants and that the bill is therefore
not multifarious-
The effect OF the decision is that the
case will now he tried upon its merits.
1t is an important suit, involving many
prominent nen and large amount OF
mnneY.

SENIORS BEAT 1900.
Yesterdays Inter-CIass Game at
Georgetown Was Exciting.

Theinterclass football contests Of George
town College Were resumed yesterday in an
interesting game between the classes of
'S7 ard 500. The seniors had all the
best OF 1t and won easily by the good score
of lS-O- This score should have been
larger but for the fact that only one goal
out OF the four touchdowns was kicked.
The freshmen We're outweiehed by the
seniors, as We'll as being generally out
classed. Most Of '9T's gains were made
by hammering the tackles and by long end
runs of the backs. Fox WIS the star for
the seniors and his splendid work gained
him generous applause from the large

of the four touchdowns and his tackling
was also first class.

ROUGH PLAY A FEATURE.
Easterns Defeat the COrcorans in 8
Basketball Game,

The second game in the Basketball League
series, played last night in the Infantry
A rmory by the Eastern Athletic Club and
Corcoran Cadet teams, was a holly con
tested affair and full of unnecessary rough
play. The Easterns won by a score of
to 3.
The nature of the play must be at
tributed To the lack of knowledge Of the
new rules, and this to a large extent Is
due to the non-arrival Of the rules until
the day before.
Both teams have a number If good play
ers and they should have steadied the
young and more excitable, which they,
however, failed 10 do. Under the cir
Cumstances Umpire Bauby had very busy
evening, hut he succeeded after the first
inning in bringing about a better eNhl
bition of the game than at first seemed
possible. There WAS too much delay and
wrangling by players.
The fact that there Were seventeen free
throws distributed between the teams
and five men put out of the game indicates
the effort made to have 4 clean game.
The EaStcrns scored twice in the first
inning ON Raab's good throws from the
field. They scored twice also in the
second on a free throw by F Raab
and field throw by Ellis, and once
in the third. The Corcorans scored twice
in The second and once in the third. Davis
hCing credited with two and McGlue with
one goal.
The management has every reason to
believe that the game will be made more
attractive than ever and that at an early
day. when the several teams have more
fully learned the rules and practiced under
them.
The teams lined up as follows:

GEORGETOWN RELAY TEAM
One Is Organized to Attend Big Meets
Next Year.

The students of Georgetown College are
enthusiastically in favor of forming a relay
bicycle team. In fact, the team is already
formed, and the members are considering
the itinerary OF trip to be taken next
spring TO all the prominent intercollegiate
meets Of the Northern colleges. 1t is a
settled thing that the team will represent
Georgetown in the Mott Haven games, in
May.
The members Of the team will be Fred
schade, Dame miller, Mclaughlin, and
Whitney. These four speedy riders are
pretty apt to hold up their end in any
collegiate races anywhere, and Georgetown
College confidently anticipates that their
work will bring increased prestige to the
institution in the ATHLETIC world.
