Old things are best, seemed TO be the
prevailing opinion last evening. The
Providence Opera House was filled from
spit TO DOME with citizens curious to
see what luck The Bostonians would
have with the time-hoDorod and popular
light opera entitled, "Tne Bohemian
Girl" Candor compels us 10 say that a
good many were disappointed. Balfe's
music was little too much for every
vocalist, with but a single exception.
Miss Davis was thoroughly satisfying.
Her yoics was true, her acting intelligent
and her singing delightful. The other
voices seemed to have noes In them and
the principals appeared to be wondering
If something wouldn't happen. There
was an atmosphere of uncertainty all
the while, and when the 1nal curtain
fell nearly everyone before and behind the
footligh.s gave involuntary manifesIa-
tIons OF reief. IL had been an evening
Of trial in more than one sense.

JOCKEYS AND JocKEYING.
How Alleged Horse Races Are Sometimes
Won and Lost.

Yesterday was tine seventh day OF the
trotting meeting at Lexington, KY, and
the attendance was about 1000. The
judges had their attention called to
what looks to be one OF the worst deals
ever attempted. Charles A. Bsssini, sec
retary OF the speed department OF the
New Jersey Fair Association, had in the
2:l0 pa ce Saturday the brown horse Royal
Victor. He had played the horse to win ard
had number of his New York friends
play him. John Penman, the Great
Heart stables regular driver, had gone
home and Dunbar was 70 drive him.
Bassini expressed fear that bis horse
could not win and told Frank Hurdick,
the pool seller, but he resolved to take
the chances. He says Hurdick wanted
him to hedge, but nc refused.
Choral won the first heat and Royal
Victor the second, and when Hurdiok
saw Bassini again the latter says he was
informed that s1100 had been booked in
his name against his horse. Bassini
had on 1900 on the horse TO win, and
declares he protested and called Dunbar
anu lOlu MIN III TUG VI
TO win the race. lie says further that
Hurdick wanted him to throw the race
and heoged his money without authority
in order TO have him pull his horse TO
prevent being left in the hole. Bassini DC
clared he would not DO this, no matter
how much money was at stake. Royal
Victor went on and won the three heats
and the race, and Bassini asked the
judges to compel Hurdick to give up the
money. The judges, after hearing the
evidence In the case, concluded TO com.
promise the.matter by having the pool
sellers pay back to Bassett one-half OF the
SilO0 in dispute. Bassini and his friends
are quite sore. and declare they have been
cheated out OF the money. Bassini is the
head of the Great Heart stable which
owns Louis Victor and Royal Victor,
and as the matter stands he Is out 5000
on the winning OF his horse in the 2:10
pace.
He proposed racing at Rigby Park

"ARROGANT YANKEES"
Insulting Words Used by Pretcnder to
the Spanish Throne.

Madrid. Oct. 15.-The declarations OF
Don Carlos. the pretender to the throne
of Spain. as recently presented in an in
terview published In The Heraldo, and
the attitude taken by that paper, are
looked upon as "A sign that the advent
OF the Carlists Is a probable event. In
this interview Don Carlos said:
THE governments greatest mistake
was In sending Martinez Campos 10
Cuba. His policy and his military in
action permitted the insurrection 20
grow. Another great mistake is the
governments attitude toward the United
States. Its policy is weak and shows
that 1t has no knowledge, or very little,
OF what the United States really is. The
Yankees are arrogant and fond of vast
Ing words in their diplomatic notes. To
do this is less expensive than to use gun
powder. Words and threats from Wash
ington are seldom followed by action.
Spain should never have consented TO
pay the Mora indemnity. Her refusal
would not have altered the disposition
of the United States toward US. The
organization and discipline Of the Ira
ditionalist (Don Carlos) party are per-
feet. All my followers would take arms
should / order It, l am highly pleased
at the change of public feeling in Spain"
Predicts Amicable settlement
London, Oct. 15.-Augustus w. l..
Hemming, governor of British Guiana,
arrived at Plymouth yesterday, on board
the steamer Don, from Colon. In an in
terview, Governor Hemming said that
the Venezuelan dispute was entirely in
the hands of the home government, and
ii was impossible to predict the outcome,
but IL was unlikely that anything seri-
GUS would occur. The feeling in the
colony. he said. was distinctly British.
~ very strong feeling had been aroused,
he said, by the Intervention of the United
States. Venezuela itself was not very
terrible foe. The future of British
Guiana, he said< was bright. Gold was
abundant in various parts besides the
disputed district and there was good
opening for prospectors. The country
only wanted exploring.
