"Shore Acres" in It's Second
Week at the Baldwin,

Morosco's company at the Grand, sup
ported by some cute picaninnies and
couple of clever horses, gave the first pro-
duction on this coast last night Of 1.-The
Derby Mascot, racing comedy-drama,
which abounds with sensational incidents
and amusing special les,
AS its name implies 1.-The Derby Mas
cot has q good deal to do with. the race
track. Indeed King Faro, the hero's
horse. shares honors with his master in
rescuing people rom tight places just at
the critical moment.
The first scene is laid. in the racetrack
sta bies at Dallas, Tex, with view of the
track. Jack Marston, young horSeman,
is about 20 ruin King Faro against the
favorite owned by Andrew Knight, who Is
Jacks rival in love. KnowinE that King
Faro is The better horse, Knight resorts
10 such base tricks as trying to poison the
horse, giving drugged cigars to the stable
men and having the jockey stolen bodily.
: In this last device his hirelings are so
successful that when the bell rings for the
race King Faro has no jockey.
Jack, who, like all mslodramatic heroes
Of the turf has staked his little all on the
race, sees ruin already staring him IN The
rice King Faro. Her offer is accepted,
and like Madge, in "Old .Kenrucky,"
she dashes up to the winning post
q couple of lengths ahead of her horses
most formidable rival, amid the delighted
applause OF the audien ce.. Lottie Williams,
who PLAYED little TEX, role lightly and
daringly, and invested her role with all the
required spirit.
The other three acts of 1.-THE Derby
Mascot deal with the complicated ma
chinations of the villain, Andrew Knight
a part that was well played by Landers
Stevens.
Knight is cut out in the love Of the
heroine, Nellie Chenewith, by Jack Mars
den, and he avenges himself by murder
ing NelIie's father and trying TO fix the
crime on Marsden. There are number
of exciting deeds and sensational escapes
IN which King Faro and Little Tex"
known familiarly. as the Derby Mascot,
both figure, and, with the aid OF the horse
and his plucky little rider, the villain is a
length folled and the yirtuous characters
once more back in the sunshine of pros
perity.
Mortimer Snow was properly heroic as
Jack Marston, and John J. Pierson gave
satisfactory interpre tation. to the role OF
Geor-e Marston, the Mascots father.
Fred ]. Butler, who played the hefoine's
tather, was killed off early in the play, but
as far as he went he was good.
Edward r. Heron was amusing as a
neYsboy with speciaIties. and Nat n.
Wills, also with specialties, made an
amusing Old darkey. Lorena Atwood
made somewhat Unconditional heroine.
Four. clever little picaninnies, with
songs and dances, made quite hit in the
racetrack scene.

At the Orpheum.

Two new acts were presented at this house
last night. Waterbury Brothers and Tenny
comedy musical artis IS, made an emphatic
hit. From the. time the curtain went up
OH their act there not a dull moment.
The comedy work was exceedingly funny and
the musical part of the bill far above the
average.
Dudley Prescott the human brass band, fell
rather fat at first, but redeemed himself by
his clever limitations of planning mill and
others in the same order. The grand opera
stars introduced Signor Napoleoni. late OF the
Tivoli, in the gran0 trio from "William Tell"
Signor Abramhoff sang an aria from Faust
Miss Julia Cote the pages song from "The
Huguenots' and Signor Guile the grand aria
from "LAfricaine." They won their accus-
for their work. Miss Byron dons five different
dresses during the act and looks pretty in
every. one OF them. Hayes and Lytton pre-

THE GILA MONSTERS BITE.

Curator John Van Denburgh on the
Strange Denizens of the Desert
John Van Denburgh. the curator of the
department OF herpetology at the Acad-
emy of Sciences, delivered an interesting
lecture last night at the academy on "Is
the bite of the ella monster poisonous ?"
Mr.. Van Denhurgh told of his experiences
among the Gila monsters OF the Arizona
and Southern California deserts, and was
at times somewhat facetious. He alluded
to the weird stories oftentimes told OF the
GiIa monster, and expressed his decided
disbelief in many OF them.
The lecture was listened to with more
than ordinary interest. 1t was rendered
unique by reason of the terse. and humor-
Gus treatment of the subject.

C. B. Rea, who came 10 this City few
days ago from Watsonville to sell some
real estate, has disappeared and his
friends are anxiously inquiring about
him. He disposed of some property, To-
Gated at College Park, for his mother. and
received the purchase price, $1,000 in coin.

that he wished to return home and needed

He stated that he was going to buy later

road as an agent. Since then he has not
been seen.
His friends fear that he has spent the
money received for the sale OF the prop

isher of care, and under the skillful direc.
ton OF John A. Stanton and William
Hubacek made the vast reception hall
and overhanging gallery a dream of ex-
quisite beauty.
Suspended from the dome in the center
of the vast hall is an immense basket
filled to overfowing with yellow roses.
These roses grew in Stanton's studio and
they require the closest inspection to con-
vince one that they are not natures own
product.
Radiating in all directions from the
floral center-piece are cordons OF roses
alternating with red lanterns, in the
hearts of which glimmer electric lights.
Suspended from the ceiling iii flying
ballet style are two manikins dressed as
Pierrots.
On all sides there are huge palm leaves,
making cool resting place for the eye in
the midst OF the splendor OF the carnival
colors-red and yellow.
Twelve boxes have been partitioned off
in the gallery and each draped with
gorgeous Oriental rugs and EN- broIderies.
The Turkish style dominates in the
decorations of the rooms. The Turk,
Hadji Ephraim Benguiat. is giving his
personal attention to the ornamentation
of these rooms, and he has generously
costly rugs and draperies for this pur-
pose. One of the rooms will be arranged
just as they are fitted up in the Ottoman
empire tor Turkish ladies.
Around the walls are low divans with
hand made coverings and cushions, such
as oriental beauties are wont to luxuri-
ouslv reclire upon.
The walls are made beautiful with hang
ings of deep blue velvet and crimson satin
richly embroidered with threads Of gold.
Hadji Ephraim Benguiat, who is
genuine Mussulman and no masker, will
attend the bali with his wife and daugh-
ters and son in the full Turkish costume
as worn III Crete.
The grand march will start at 8 o'clock
sharp. The maskers will form in line in

FITZ MAKES MERRY,
But VIII Box Sullivan a Limited
Number of Rounds.

NEW YORK, June 25.-When questioned
concerning John L. Sullivan's challenge, Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons said Yes, l saw Johns
challenge and 1t really makes me feel very
merry. John L. Sullivan back in the ring and
says he means it. Sometimes l feel very
sorry for John. Don't heG understand that
there is no possible show in the world for
him to win a fight withea man like me? Per-
haps l should not say thaty however, because
he is evidently snceres in what he imagines
he can do. And then he Isl over there train
ing with Bill Muldoon, butZif any man alive
can put him in condition to make fight
Muldoon is the man.
First of all, it is not to be a finish fight,
so far as l am concerned. Do you think
I want to jeopardize my liberty by hitting
John L. Sullivan hards enough to knock him
out? He would simply drop dead. To fight
a finish fight with Sullivan would be COM
uniting manslaughter, land do not take a
fancy to 1t. l will .ygo further and give
him chance that no other ,pugilst has had,
and If 1t is not the squarest proposition you
ever heard, then suggest something else that
Is, and will agree to It, First of all, l do
not wish to fight him to a ffnish but better
STILL he can fight me to finish if he can
do 1t, in a four or six round go. 1 will
spar for points and treat him nicely, while
he can fight for Knockout. 1 will positive
ly agree to let him try just as hard as he
can to stop me in that time, and an addi-
tional assurance to John that nothing disas-
trous will happen to him. I merely intend to
keep away from his smashes and show him
that can hit him at will"

triples, and singles off of Abbey's slow
benders, and it looked as though they
would never be headed, but after the
first inning Abbey settled down and
allowed but two hits, both Of which
were made by Mcbride. The Cowboys
were little slow in discovering
Phyle's delivery, but when they did
a profitable business was transacted.
Phyle was handicapped by a bandaged
hand and gave six bases on balls, two
of which turned UP at the plate with
runs. The game abounded in fine
playing, Mcbride carrying off the
fielding honors of the visitors. Some
of his catches were of the circus order,

BREWERS PUNCHED HITS.
Made Life a Burden for Willie Bill
Hutchinson.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, June 25-Milwaukee won
another hard-earned victory from Minneapolis
today by punching hits in three innings, aided
In another by the battery errors of the visit
ors, who found Taylor a hard proposition to
solve, and the Brewers outfelders too fast
for the line hits they managed to drive out
side of the diamond. The attendance was
not as large as usual, but what it lacked in
quantity it made up in noise when a double
play in the ninth inning retired the Millers
without run and gave the game to the
Brewers. Phenomenal catches were made by
Nicol, who made double play unassisted,
and Miller and the infield work of DAILY,
Leewe, Stafford and Ball was brilliant. The
Brewers scored twice in the first inning on
singles by Weaver and Myers, Balls error
and Days out at first. Another tally was
chalked up to the credit Of the Brewers in
the next inning, when Blake hit for two
bases Leewe singled and Speer hit to Pickett.
In the third the Millers made one on Miller's
double Wilmot's out and wild pitch, and
in the fourth a base on balls, errors by
Myers and Leewe sacrifice and Hutchi-
sons single Melted them three more
runs In their half the Brewers scored
once on a base on balls and Weaver's double,
and made the run that won the game in the
eighth on gift of base by Hutchinson, who
hit Leewe, a wild pitch and passed ball.
