the final by two aces. Another exciting
game was played, in which G. Mcdonald
and r. Shea defea ted d. Rodgers and Phil
Ryan in close finish.
The event of the dav at the Union court
was game in which r. Linehan and j..
Nealon played against ]. Harlow and
Terry McManus, the heavy. weight cham
pion. The two latter were defeated in the
final by three aces. 1t was one of the
keenest contested games ever played in
the court. c. Bradley of the Occidental

"THE GYPSY BARON"
a New Sunday Night Departure Madc
by the Tivoli, and With
Success.

The Tivoli began new departure last
night by opening on Sunday instead OF
Monday. Despite the rain the house was
full, and there is every reason 10 believe
that, from business standpoint, the
change was wise one.
The opera was Johann Strauss 'The
Gypsy Baron," which has not been heard
here for a couple of years. The scene of
the first two acts is laid in Hungary.
and the tuneful music is given
an added fascination by the intro
duction OF good many dashing
rhythmic Magyar strains. This charac-
teristic music calls for good deal of brio
on the part of the conductor and the per-
formers, but the really strong light opera
company which the Tivoli now possesses
proved itself quite equatto the demands of
THE Gypsy Baron," and the chorus did
such excellent work that it was repeatedly
encored.
Lilly Post, whose light was rather hid
den beneath a bushel in 1.-The Babes in
the Wood" had an opportunity last night
OF showing her fine resonant voice and
what good control she possesses over it.
She is much better vocalist than many
OF those who have been given to us in
grand opera and at higher prices. Rhys
Thomas sang and acted well as the Gypsy
Baron, and John J. Raffael's song was
one OF the pleasantest numbers in the
opera.
Ferris Hartman, who is nothing if not
whimsically fantastic. chose to play his
role with strong German accent, which
caught on immensely.
His song more AS 1 Can Use," was
en- cored so often that he had to apologize
finally, for having run out OF verses.
Bernice Holmes voice was scarcely ro-
tund enough for the role of the old gypsy,
but her make up was effective and she
acted conscientiously. Elvia Crox Sea-

LIVE HARES WERE SCARCE,

The Humane Society Directors Met
with Rather Sad Disappoiu tment.
Directors Theodore Gruenhagen, Luman
Wadham, Max Stein, Martin Stevens and
ID. e. Holmes of the Society for the Pre-
ventlon of Cruelty to Animals were early
callers yesterday morning at the Preside
Athletic Grounds.
Iney had been invited by the directors
OF the San Francisco Fox-terrier Coursing
Ciub, and 1t was proposed to illustrate to
them that the killing OF hares by fox
terriers was by no means cruel and surely
not SO painful as the killing done by
hounds.
Tnere was disappointment all round. as
the hares ordered by the club failed to
arrive until long after the departure of
the guests.
In consequence there was no live game
courslng ana the few hundreds of people
who assem- mbled witnessed the runnino of
the stuffed hare pulled along at the end
of cord and chased by the terriers.

by the leg before knew he was near me.
You see he never barks-just goes to busi-
ness and says nothing"
Sharkey unbuttoned his coat to give q
little exhibition of whirlwind hitting.
The bag seemed to be all over the place at
once. Arms and resolute fists ana leather
ball were all mixed up, but the sailor
was away from the tangle standing erect
except when he ducked occasionally 1t
was great sport for the mascot, which
emitted short, suppressed growis and
snapped his teeth.
Now what do you think of my training
Quarters?" asked Sharkey.
They have been comfortably fitted up,
and the gymnasium has everything neces-
sary for man in training. In long
room with windows on both sides is where
Sharkey trains. At one end is bath.
room-to be used on wet days only-and
punching-bag. Then on the walls are q
wrist machine, a chest machine and de-
veloper, one of which consists of thick
rubber cords that fly back when extended.
The elasticity does half the work, and
Sharkey prefers the machine, which is OF
his own invention.
ct the end neares. the ocean there is a
rubbing bench. with shelves of bottles
and tables holding clubs and DUN b. bells
also leather bag, made according to
Sharkeys own ideas. This bag has a
universal swivel connection for the rope.
which consequently does not twist. and
still the rope is badly worn-a sure sign
OF the hard time that ball of leather is
having. When the 'sailor" punches il
the whole pavilion huns and people
downstairs say That's Sharkey at the

blows

A Theosophfcal Lecture.

W. ]. Walters, secretary of Golden Gate
Lodge, T. s., last evening delivered one of q
series OF free lectures under the auspices of
that body. The subject was Alchemy and
the Alchemists." The speaker maintained
that all matter is one in substance the differ
ence in appearance being due TO chemical
laws and molecular motion. The modern
science OF chemistry has done much 10 iormu-
late these laws, and when 1t becomes an exact
science will be able TO reduce all matter, not
only to component paris, but 10 primordial
substance. Miss Bertha Wadham and Count
Axel Wach tmeister were the musicians OF the
evening.

BLIND MAN At THE TngATER

0p00eoeOk3 x0S09UDSo0 n - O0ODOoA OpO0s
ssels In the Orchestra.
A short, stout man who sat IL an aisle
seat on the left of the orchestra at the
Casino one night lately wss an object
Of great interest," to thu aunsament
seekers grouped around him. The
heartiness Of his applause and the
whole-souled way in which he seemed
to be enjoying himself first drew at
tention to him. He wore very dark
hued spectacles, and when there was no
singing going on was seen to be con-
versing in animated whispers with =
younger man who sat aloneside of MIN
and kept particularly alive to all that
was going on on the stage.
Whenever there was any singing the
younger man cut his comments short,
and the man with glasses leaned back
in his seat and, laying his head well
back in his seat, listened to the melody
with q smile. After each song he ap-
plauded generously, and then. leaning
over toward his companion, listened It
tentitely to another series of comment
The enthusiastic auditor had been
among the earliest arrivals, and it was
not until the curtain descended on the
first act, and the younger nan arose
and caught the elder by the arm gen.
tly, and the latter walked along eau
tiously, feeling his way with stout
walking-stick, that those about him
discovered that he was blind. There
was buzz of surprised comment from
the women folk, and men who had
ariser to go out between the sacts made
way deferen&ially for the sightlees The
ater-goer. There was quite a. much
interest when the blind man was led
back again to his seat after getting
Whit of air in the street.
It was apparently the first time that
anyone in the good-sized audience had
ever seen a blind man at the theater.
Yet it became evident that this par
ticu]ar blind man had facilities for en-
joying himself az keenly almost az amy
Of those who saw him. He could hear
all that was uttered by the actors or
singers, and his companions whispered
comments were a graphic description
OF the by-plhy that accompanied al the
utterances. The extra labor he had to
exert to secure full knowledge Of all
that was going on made his applause
heartier than that Of anyone around
him. it being a habit of the sightless
to manifest their pleasure effusively.-
