Much interest naturally centers in the
engagement of the Lyccum Theatre Stock
Company at the Providence Opera House
next week not only because Daniel Froh-

MAY ROW AT HENLEY.

A letter has been received in Boston
from Dan Murphy, coach of tho famous
Winnipeg four, who arc going TO row in
tho Henley regatta, unless their entry is
rejected by the Stewards OF that regatta,
which states that the crew will probably
sail from Boston.
IL is intended to go by the Warren Line,
on the steamer Canada. The Canada sails
from Boston on May 90 Murphy Is al
most sure that the entry win be accepted.
A gentleman in Winnipeg, who rowed on
the Cambridge University crew against
Oxford, and who Is close to the Chairman
of the Henley Regatta COMMITTEES, has
taken agreat interest in the crew, and has
written TO England To guarantee their
amateur standing. The man against
whom charges arc made that ho is not
eligible Is Osborn, who rows No ..
This is because he was in the woods all
last summer. and the charge is he was u
laborer. Osborn is quite wealthy, and
went into the woods for health and recre-
alton, and not for money
The club has money enough TO send the
crew over and back again.
Over 5000 was realized in n minstrel
show. The men do light practice three
times a week. IL they sail from Boston
they will give Boston friends an exhibit
tion OF their speed.

A PECULIAR FACT.


A weak stomach Is the cause of about
nine tenths of all disease, yet i'm most
cases the wrong thing is treated and the
true cause overlooked.
This is because weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because 1t weakens and disturbs
the action of every nerve and organ in the
body; poor digestion causes heart trouble,
kidney troubles, lung weakness and espec-
tally nervous break down or nervous pros
tratlon the nerves cannot stand the woar
and tear unless gcnero usly fed by well
digested, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one
need fear the approach of disease.

writes: For the sake OF suffering hu.

of the characters, suggested before the real
happening, starts the merriment which is
sustained all through the piece. IL was
quite evident the audience last evening
enjoyed the performance and considered
the man from Mexico very entertaining
fellow. The farce can be easily improved
and 1t will doubtless be materially
strengthened as the players become
familiar with IL and bestow moro Of their
individual talent upon the various en-
tertaining characters. When the comedians
abandon themselves more TO the wide
range afforded "The Man From Mexico"
will be IA rollicking show.
The company employed Is an excellent
one, many of the principals being actors
who have made fine regulations in other
plays which have gained country wide
notoriety and distinction. Willie Collier is
droll comedian and his burlesque repre-
sentation of life in Sing Sing prison was
exceedingly funny. His Spanish dance
with Miss Allen made hit and 1t was
the only thing that had any suggestion of
the variety or vaudeville feature. Other
wise it was straightforward farce of more
than ordinary interest. 1.-The Man From
Mexico will be played this evening and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.

A SUGGESTION.

IL has been suggested that when n
proper committee Is selected TO revise the
present Marquis of Queensberry rules
the first thing to BIC done should be to
compel the referee to stand outside the
ring and give his instructions. This Is
the way boxing is judged in England, and
the referee has full sway I'm making de-
cisions No hugging or wrestling Is al
lowed, and the first call TO break" is i'm
variably answered. The slightest ten
dency TO disregard the referees orders is
met with caution, and If the fighter
persists IN doing things contrary TO the
rules he is Immediately disqualified.
Sporting men think that boxing would
be considerably benefited by this mode of
Judging.
