AMUSEAIENrS.
COUNTRY CIRCUS"

Jefferson. Klaw & Changers "Coun-
try Circus" comes to the Opera House
tonight. and will no doubt be witness
ed by large audience. 1t is accompa-
MED by a band and orchestra, and the
company gives a very interesting
street parade. The band will give
concert at noon and another at seven
o'clock. Mr.. Frank Thompson, for
merly with Sousa's band, is the cornet
soloist. The funniest clown in the
business. Mr.. Perkins is with the Cir
Gus" and a number of clever specialties
will be introduced during the action
of the play. The company is stronger
this season than ever before.
SHYLOCK AND HAMLET.
Walker Whitesides is carrying every
thing before him this season and is
scoring the biggest kind Of a success.
Everywhere he is complimented on his
fine company and the superb support
that is given his performances. His
appearance at the Opera House Satur-
day, February 22d. presenting THE
Merchant of Venice" at the matinee,
and Hamlet at the evening perform
ance, will without doubt be the dra-
matte event of the season. The excel
lence of Mr. Whitesides impersona-
tions of these characters have been
commended by the leading critics of all
the principal cities of the East and
West. That this young actor is orig
inal in his conception of the part is
conceded by all, and many have eX-
pressed their opinion that no actor
on the American stage. save Edwin
Booth. has more carefully or more
faithfully presented the character ac-
cOrding to the ideas of the great dra-
matist
FINE OPERA COMPANY.
"Masco;te" has seldom been produced
in Wheeling better than it was given
last night by the Gonzalez Opera Com
pany at the Grand Opera House, and
the hearty applause and frequent en-
cores with which the audience encOur-
aged the efforts of the performers,
showed that those present appreciated
the fact. From the yrima donna down
to the chorus there is not single stick
in the company, which is large and
competent. Miss Gonzoez is a splen-
did conualto, and handled the part of
"Bettina" in fine style. Adolph May
er as "Beppo,' was also deserving of
notice, while the very funny comedy
work Of Messrs. Donnelly and Young
was immense, and judging from their
work in last nights opera, there is
lots of fun in store for the patrons Of
the Grand during the week Mr.
Webb as prince Frederick was we'll
received, as also was Miss Sargent.
The chorus is strong and composed o.
pretty and young faces. The costumes
are new and clean. and, in fact. the
opera was staged in an almost fault
less manner. A matinee will be given
every afternoon this week and the price
of admission is reduced to ten and
twenty cents. "Mascotte' will be
given again this afternoon and "The
Chimes Of Normandy" tonight and
tomorrow afternoon. Seats at the
box Office.

rhe National 4. A. u. Competition WIN
he the First of Its Kind.
The first annual hnndball tournament oi
the Amateur Athletic union Is attractin,
much attention In tho world of sports. Il,
is to be played at the Jersey City handbal
court Jan. z. II will decide the champion
ship of America at singles and will be open
to all amateur players in America and Can
ada. 1t will be tho first tournament ever
held for the amateur cha npionship I'm this
country, and IL Is expected to bring about
great revival of handbail playing
Handball is one Of the few games that
thrive well in all seasons It's chief draw
back is that too few people are aware of its
many excellencies Corbett, the pugilist
has always held it In high favor. sit is
the one game,' says he, "that exercises
the body from the top of the head to the
ends of the toes. No lazy man can play it.
Two hours of It will tire the strongest
man." Many other athletes have testified
as to the excellence of the game, both as
pastime and healthful exercise.
A handball court Is not an expensive
luxury. All that is necessary Is bit of
level ground and big, smooth wall. The
cost of equipment Is slight, and the bene-
fits to be derived from the game are unlim-
tied. If there are side walls to the court,
SO much the better. Instructions for lay
ing out the court may be had conveniently
In any one of the numerous books on the
game. The outfit costs about one-fourth
as much as tennis, and the game affords
as much amusement and great deal more
exercise
The Amateur Athletic union has deter
mined to make a great success Of the initial
competition and will recommend the hold
ing of district championships next season,
as In athletics. Handball will give to the
union larger scope and will add to the
pastimes for the indoor season. The tour
nament proposition was eagerly approved
as soon as It was made. and a large num-
ber Of well known clubs In various cities
have actively oo-operated with the local
committee in Jersey City In preparing for
the event. The list of entries forms COM
potent guarantee Of great sport The Jersey
City court is one Of the finest in the coun-
try. 1t Is OF full regulation size, with ac-
commodations for large number Of spec
tators. Z Tho regular Al. A. u. champion

RYDER AND SOUTnARD WIN.



New York. Dec. so.-4Yesterday the
second round Of the Intercollegiate tour
nament was played at the Columbia
grammar school, there being q very good
attendance of local enthusiasts, includ-
ing many ladies. When the referee,
Eugene Delmar, arrived, he adJudicatcd
upon ths game left unfinished Monday
night I'm the second last round, giving the
decision to Southard, a verdict which
was accepted in true sportsmanlike
spirit
In the second round the players were
paired as follows: Parker CO. VS.. Lehl-
bach (YD, Seymour (P.) vs. Ryder CID,
Price CO. VS.. Southland QI), Murdoch
tY.) VS.. Young CHI.
After the games had been well under
way the spectators were surprised to
see such really good chess played on all
the boards and it became evident that
the students have greatly improved in
strength since last they met in this city.
In fact. there is no doubt that yester-
days college chess was the best showing
since these contests were inaugurated.
In yesterdays play Seymour relied on
a Ruy Lopez In his game . nst Ryd'
and got much the better OF the opening
as Ryder had difficulty in defending tn.
really fine attacking combinations Of his
adversary. Just when within an ace Of
scoring, Seymour, however, made a
slip. losing all his stronghold and piece
into the bargain, and after AZ moves
Ryder won.
A Dutch opening, played by Southland
against Price on the third board, was
excellently played by both men In the
early part of the game. Then Price. by
being rather careless, lost the exchange.
Now the Harvard man gained rapidly In
position, and after 20 moves Price re-
signed.
Young started French defence when
called upon by Murdoch to reply to PIX
4. and well-contested game ensued, In
which neither side could claim any ad-
vantage up to the 26th move. Then Muir
| dock gained a pawn, a general exchange
| OF pieces followed, and Young resigned
| Otter 56 moves.
On the first board Parker opened
| with a queens gambit against Lehl
bach. Like on the rest of the boards
| play was evenly contested for severa
hours. On his 23d move Lehlbach mad,
q great mistake. losing two pieces for 9
rook Just before the call of time Par
ker blundered and lost the game aftel
46 moves
The scores to date are: Columbia
won l, lost 2: Harvard-won 4, lost I,
Yaie-won 2. lost Princeton-won 1
| lost 3.
The pairing for today In the thir,
round as follows: Parker co. VS. SeA
