The Expulsion Of Dunraven Approved
by Members Of All New York's
Yacht Clubs.


those who have spoken of Carlisle as q
Presidential possibility is Congressman
q. S. Hall of Missouri. who was at Repuo-
iican headquarters in the Flfth-avehue
Hotel the other day with Congressman d.
B. Odell of this State. Hail. VINO unlike
most of the Missouri delegation in Con-
gress, is q sound money man. and at the
same time a Democrat, said In speaking
of the Secretary:
"The Democrats have a lot of good Presl-
Dental tim Der. 1 think Secretary Carlisle
would make a good President. He is
strong man, and l should like to see him
nominated. He has tablished himself
as safe man, and has the confidence OF
the world. We have other strong candl-
dates, such as Whitney and Morrison,
but Secretary Carlisle would be a welcome
nominee"
Ex-senator Thomas c. Platt did not
keep to his bed yesterday, but was stump
ing about his apartments in the Fifth
avenue Hotel on his crutches. His right
leg is still useless as the result of the fall
he had on Wednesday evening.
The Republican politicians from all over
the State continued to call on Platt. Pos
sibly the two most important visitors were
Uncle George Washington Aldridge, State
Superintendent of Public Works, and
Colonel Ashley Cole, Governor Morton's
private secretary. The time is at hand
| when Mr.. Aldridge must begin to turn the
spigor OF canal patronage. There is &c.
OOO,0 900 worth of this patronage, and AL
bridge proposes to use it in the interest of
| Governor Morton as a Presidential candI-
date.
Charles S. Wilbur, who was private sec
| retary to Warner Miller when he was Sen
| ator, is now on tour of the Southern
| States in the interest of Governor Morton.
| 1t has been said all along that Ex-Governor
Mckinley has hao the advantage in the
Southern States because of the shrewd
methods of Hon. Mark Hanna of Cleve-
land. Governor Morton's friends believe
| that before Wilbur returns to New York
some of the best-laid plans OF the Hon.
Mark viii be overturned.
Among members of the New York and
other yacht clubs yesterday but one dis
senting opinion was heard in regard to the
action upon the conduct of the owner OF
| the Valkyrie.
Chester G. Munro, who was the only
|
against adopting the resolution expelling
Lord Dunraven from honorary member
ship, was asked yesterday why he had so
voted. He replied that he thought it un-
wise and unjust to expel the Earl at this
particular time.
| 81 Think continued Mr.. Munro, 1.-The
club should have treated him generously,
rather than Justly. 1t would have been
plenty of time to expel him after his res
| ignation had been asked for, and prov1d-
ing he would not consent to withdraw"
| Lewis Cass Ledy ard speech introducing
his resolution for expulsion was the sub
| iect of much favorable comment among
yachtsmen.
| Manager Frank L. Perley has gone to
| Chicago to wind up the affairs of Nine.
Modieska's company. In consequence of
the unfortunate illness of that actress,
which has compelled her to close her sea-
son, she will not appear on the stage again
before next fall, but her physicians are
confident that she will then be able to re-
sumo her professional work.
The announcement of the formation of
big theatrical combination by All Hayman,
| Charles Frohman, Nixon & Zimmerman,
Rich & Harris ard Klaw & Erlanger has
raised tempest-a tempest in teapot,
may be, as one manager last night charac
| terized it. In any event the managers of
prominent theaters in Washington, Pitts
| burg and st. Louis feel that their interests
are menaced, and are preparing to take
precautionary measures.
"Who is to gain by the formation of
these combinations?" was asked of prom
inent manager last night.
| 'The producing manager and the star," ;"
| he replied. sThe results of his business
must necessarily be competition for at
fractions, and as result the rival houses
will try to outbid each other in terms"
Of course by having this chain of thea
ters in his control, Hayman is enabled to
book an attraction for an entire season,
and so save the manager lot of trouble.
Hayman is at present in the West. but
Charles Frohman said yesterday that to
call the arrangement that had been made
a com bination was a misnomer. ''All we
want to do," he said, sis to centralize the
bookings and so save ourselves and other
managers q great deal of trouble. We
wish to injure no one."
| Most of the managers in this city say
| that they have no interest in the matter,
! one way or the other.
For five long years the musical world
has been wondering why it was that Joseffy
| had persistently refused all inducements
to appear in public. 1t wondered more
than ever yesterday afternoon when the
distinguished virtuoso returned from his
self-imposed exile and played, as probably
no other living pianist can play it, the Sec
ond concerto by Brahma. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that he has returned to us
a greater artist than when he left us.
From purely technical point of view he
is still beyond compare. The audience
applauded Joseffy after every movement,
and after the sprite-like finale it recalled
him something like dozen times.
Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony was ex-
cellently played, however, but Liszt's
"Tasso" seemed to give the listeners even
greater pleasure.
