All in all the entertainment was a
mastery one by strong, accom-
plished, finely balanced and excellently
equipped company. That so small an
to the fact that three tragedians have
just preceded Mr.. Neil at the Metro
politan; that there has been almost a
surfeit of theatrical entertainment for
some weeks, and that counter attrac-
tions and equinoctial weather operated
against him. This evening Mr.. O'Neill
will appear in the melodrama Monte
Cristo," in which he has no superior,
and possibly no peers. He has played
the Count so often that the announce
ment of the play instantly suggests his
name. This afternoon at 2 o'clock a
matinee, when, for the first time here
there will be played THE Courier of
Lyons sometimes called THE Lyons
Mali and 1.-THE Lesurques Case" In
this romantic play he has had very
great success and made it rank as one
of the triumphs in romantic stageland
this season. Mr.. O'Neill himself ap-
pears in the play in two distinct and op-
posite characters, which almost make a
simultaneous appearance on the stage.
The play revolves around the unfortu-
nate resemblance between an honest
citizen and a famous scoundrel, both to
be played by the same actor.

B0OKMAKERS Done UP.
"LITTLE PETE" THE CFiINArlAN,
BRIBES THE JOCKEYS.
Estimated That Within the Past Few
Weeks He Has Cleaned Up Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-The
officials of the Pacific Coast Jockey
Club have just discovered gigantic
conspiracy, whereby Fong Ching. a no.
torious Chinaman, better known to the
police and public as Little Pete" has,
in collusion with several prominent
Jockeys now riding in this city, de-
frauded the bookmakers at the Ingle-
side and Bay District tracks out OF a
sum roughly estimated at 100000.
For some weeks past the peculiar
rides put UP by Jockeys Chorn, Chev-
alier and Hinrichs have excited the sus-
picion of the track officials, but owing
no the finesse displayed by the lads, 1t
was difficult to attribute their failure
to land winners to any other source save
fhe proverbial streak of bad luck.
Recently their work has been of such
q raw" character that detectives were
engaged to watch the boys. 1t was then
discovered that the three jockeys
named were frequent visitors to the
boot factory of Little Pete" and 1t
was also observed that on the day fol-
lowing each visit Pete" made Win
ming at the track.
Despite the bad appearance of af-
fairs, the detectives were unable to do
anything until Hinrichs became dis
satisfied with the share of the plunder
doled out to him and disclosed the
whole plot to the officials. full In
vestigation followed and as a result
Chorn and Chevalier were to-day ruled
off the track for life and Hinrichs was
suspended indefinitely.
Little Pete" has been barred from
attending either the Ingleside or Bay
District tracks, and Owner Dow Wal
lace sponsor for Chevalier, has like
wise been warned off.
The associations have also decided
not to accept the entries of Tom Gr1t-
fin and Andy Blakelee, on account OF
the peculiar running of the horse Fair
Faith on the 18th, and Jockey Cody
has been indefinitely suspended for the
manner in which he rode Cabrillo on
the same day.
Chorn, who has been in the employ of
Barney Schrieber, was regarded as one
of the best jockeys on the coast, having
until lately led all Jockeys in the num-
Der of winning rides. Chevalier has
been under suspicion for some time.
Little Pete has served term in
San Quentin for jury bribing, and has
been implicated in several questionable
transactions, notably the smuggling
of the Chinese actors to the San
Francisco Midwinter Fair and the At
lanta Exposition.
The disclosures have created a tre-
mendous sensation in turf circles, and
it is officially stated that other crooked
work will be exposed, and that at least
two more jockeys will be suspended, If
not ruled off.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater last
evening to a slender audience James
O'Neill in '.Virginius" gave a remark
ably fine performance. 1t was such
artistic work as greatly satisfies and
commands profound respect. The play
was very handsomely mounted, richly
indeed, and staged throughout in ad-
mirable harmony with historic de-
mands. The people whom Mr.. O'Neill
has gathered to his support are SUI
perior. They are mainly young and
vigorous, graceful and preposSeSSing g
men, who read the text with that dis
tinctiveness, strength and cGre that
speaks of good training and the exact
ing rule of right management. His sup
port on the female side of the cast was
good also, and Virginia, by Miss Rock
well, was refreshing exhibition of inno-
cence, maidenly modesty, childish trust
and womanly fear. Miss Rockwell puts
very little apparent effort into the part,
she is simply natural and precisely
what Affius described her, one not yet
woman and not a girl, but standing
between the two. Mr.. Thompson's S
Affius was of that metal which brings
the spark of approval from sincere
criticism. He is all the tyranical Dece-
moir should be, but is witha1 a gentle
man, though of debased tastes. He
makes the naughty tyrant hateful, but
without being disgusting. So, too, with
De Gez's Deutatus, the fiery old war
rior; Pascoes Icilius and Dixons Nu-
matorius-they were strong, vigorous,
manly and marked by artistic excellence
that is worthy of all commendation
Mr. O'Neill surprises his friends His
"Virginius' is full of classic beauty.
1t does, it is true, lack something of
feeling as yet; it is not full of tears
and his agony of passion and grief on
receipt of the news of the seizure of his
daughter, while passionately strong, is
wanting that depth of feeling which
moves the auditor to his souls depths,
as other actors have done in that role
Yet Mr. O'NeilPs "Virginius" is a
splendidly acted part. Tt is symmetri-
