Westminster Thealcr.

The patrons of the Westminster Theater
seldom have an opportunity 10 wit
ness more enjoyable program than the
one given by the Rose Sydall London
Bellies Go. Yesterday afternoon and
evening this popular place OF amusement
was filled to the doors and the person
who attended and did not enjoy a dozen
or more laughs cannot be made to laugh,
for the company is composed of about 30
artists, many OF whom are new in this
part OF the country, and their specialiies
are original, entertaining and to great
extent funny. The audience begins to
laugh at the start and keeps on during
the run OF the program.
The performance begins with "The
Widow Winn'S Reception.' Miss Rose
Sydsll taking the part of the widow,
while Andy Barr and w. S. Campbell
clever comedians, assisted by the entire
company, gave a mirtn- provoking per-
formance. In the olio are Hart and

The entertainment concludes with a now
and extremely funny extravaganza by

THE RACING CYCLERS.
National Circuit Riders Are Fighting Hard
For EiEst Place.

For First Place.
"Thcre is no likelihood Of 1896 being
'ono nau year, as was last season." says
+. Ed Spooncr I'm the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. There are more good men fight
ing hard for the top Of the percentage table
than ever before and there will be strug-
gle for the coveted place az the head of the
list that cycling history has never seen the
like Of The percentage table, by the way,
has dono moro TO create close, well bunch
ed races than all the rules that were ever
made. 1t is tho only way in which a man
can get credit for finishing close up and
beating some one else, even though he be
outside the money Formerly, when the
riders saw that they had no chance for
one of the three places, they would sit up
and come in in struggling line, leaving
the race TO be run between few OF the
mep, who, time after time, won simply
because there was no opposition.
"Under the percentage table this Is all
changed Each man fights his way to the
tape, whether he be in the lead or whether
he be the last man in the bunch, and each
one is determined TO beat somebody out
and get credit for at least a share Of tho
win. The riders have appreciated the fact
that they may make IA good showing IL
they can average . fourth, fifth or sixth
place in all races, and now there is as hard
IA fight for these positions as there formerly
was for the more honorable places In the
front of the bunch. This percentage table
has proved the only correct way Of show
ing what man has done In his races,
and, combined with the points table, gives
a very fair idea of n mans racing career
during the season. 1t is of inestimable
value to those who are interested in the
progress Of the riders on the national cir
cult and yet are unable to see tho contests
and the finishes for themselves.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lothrop's Opera House.

The second week of the early season
began at Lothrop's Opera House yester-
day with a play entitled "Irish Devo-
tion." Ii was the right sort OF play for
this season of the year, because it was
light, with n generous sprinkling of the
comedy element, adording comedian L.
+. Watson considerable scope for his
capacity to make fun. lie succeeded ad-
mirably and gave a breezy end comical
performance of the part of Barney
O'Flynn. The piece was an old-fashion-
ed melodrama with lots OF crime in its
makeup. Villany had full swing in the
beginning but goodness had a chance
finally ana triumphed. The william wanted
the heiress and was willing to go to any
ength, even murder, TO accomplish
his ends. In fact murder in 'front.' of
the audience was one OF the thrills OF the
play. The Irishman, Barney, was always
near when he could do the most good,
aud his ready wit and inventive skill al
ways got the principals out OF difficulty.
His part of the work was significant OF
the title of the play. Miss Alice &.
Keane had good part as Alice Clark,
and she played it skillfully. Miss Maud
Miller impersonated Roxey, mountain
madcan, whose rompish ways and wild
nature made picturesque figure In the
group OF characters ana added an element
of interest to the performance that was
evidently much relished. The other parts
were fairly we'll played by William Fred
Fredericks, Henry Fields, j. Rennie, J.
Harris, L. Owen, Albert Bailey, Il
Thomas and Miss Fannie New hall. "Irish

Providence Wins Closely Played Game
From Toronto.

From Toronto.
Twas a warm" game yeste day,
the opening one OF tie last home
series with Toronto, very I" ' arm
one indeed, Vi "a Providence succeeded
in busting of the Canadians to the queens
taste after nine exciting innings, oil
hands went away happy. In the last half
or the ninth though, things looked dark.
There was enough anxiety manifested
over the welfare OF the Grays to last
generation or so, when Casey, migLtY Cn-
sey, stepped to the bat. Two men were on
the bags, one was out, likewise one run
was needed TO tie the score and even the
cranks admitted the day OF reckoning had
come, so when Casey's trusty "wagon
and jumping over the diamond toward
Coouey at a slashing rate a groan OF
agony and despair went up from the null
titude
Far across the field the wall OF a heart
broken populace swept, but ere the re-
turning echo reached the grandstand
from the distant wooded land long,
loud shout OF exultation and Joy rent the
mir. Pandemonim reigned, for the Grays
had won. They had doubled Ward and
O'Brien ana had turned their Waterloo
into an Austerlitz just in the nick Of
time.
Verify il was a game that defes de-
scription. 1t was one that needed TO be
seen to DC appreciated. You can imagine
the Grays starting off full Of confidence
over their long string OF successive VIC
tories, you can picture the ease with
which they Immediately took the lead
and ran the score up to five tallies while
their opponents struggled along in their
wake. You can see the crowd resting
comfortably back In their seats, a bit en-
nuied at the ease with which the trick Is
being done. Suddenly in the sixth
"Peggy' Ward of the fog horn voice,
and an extra Toronto pitcner named Hor-
ton appear on the side lines and coach
loud and vociferously.
They say good many things and con-
duct themselves in such a generally
ssinine'way that it amuses the crowd.
But what is that? Hodson, the old, re-
liable veteran, is weakening under the
cross fire of raillery. Every eye is
strained, every nerve tingling and as II
by one accord the assembled crowd realizes
that the fiendisE shouts OF the leather
iunged coaches are rafting the ever
steady "Hod." In rapid succession two
singles, a homer and another single are
cracked out and the score is tied before
Moran's high fly nestled safely In Muir
rays yawning paws. Now that the mis-
chief has been done the Grays wake up
to the fact and stem the turning tide OF
fortane by substituting Rudderham in
the following inning. Summary:
