THOMAS w. KEENE,
Americas Greatest Living Actor tc
Appear at the Grand.

Americas Greatest Living Actor to
Appear at the Grand.
The coming of such a distinguished
stage artist as Thomas w. Keene, the
eminent American tragedian, who will
appear at the Grand opera house the
last half of this week will, no doubt,
create a sensation of delight among
the lovers of the legitimate and clas-
sic drama in this city. Mr.. Keene
now occupies the position which Edwin
Booth filled for so many years and he
is looked upon as the legitimate sue
cessor of that lamented tragedian; he
is, no doubt, entitled to this distinction
which he has earned by long and stu
dious work in the Interpretation of
Shakespearean and other classic char
acters. There is no actor on the
American stage with such a varied
repertoire as Mr.. Keene's and from it
he has selected four of the strongest
plays which he will present during his
engagement in this city.
The opening performance on Thurs
day evening will be the great histori-
ical drama, Louis XI. with Mr.. Keene
in the title role. This is a dramatiza-
ton of Walter Scott's novel Quentin
Durward," with new scenes and stua-
tons written expressly for Mr.. Keene
and found in no other acting version
of this great play.
On Friday evening Shakespeare's
greatest work julius Caesar will be
given with Mr.. Keene in his favorite
role of Marc Anthony. At the Satur-
day matinee Mr.. Keene will appear as
Richelieu. He is considered one of the
most conservative delineators of the
Cardinal the American stage has ever
seen. The engagement will close on
Saturday evening with Mr.. Keene in his
well known impersonation of Richard
III. OF all the Richards known to
the American stage it is not too much
to assert that Mr.. Keene stands pre-
eminent. So prominent has been his
success in this the greatest of historic
tragedies that he has been for years
the sole exponent of the character in
this company. Mr.. Keene is this sea-
son accompanied by and under the
management of Charles B. HanfOrd,
who fills the dual capacity of lead
ing man and manager, both of which
positions he held last season with a
deal of profit to his star and much
credit to himself. Besides Mr. Han
ford, Mr.. Keene's supporting company
includes such well known opponents
of the legitimate drama as Mrs. S A.
Baker, Lucia Moore, Mary Timber
mann, Marie Drafnah, Antoniette
ROchte, George Morton, Carl Ahrendt,
Lawrence Lowell, John Milton, Arthur
Stamford and Paul G.. Taylor. Each
play given will be elegantly mounted
with new and appropriate scenery and
elaborate and historically correct cos

ROWLING BRIEFS.

The following are dimensions of reg
ulation alleys: Beds, IS feet long and
AZ inches wide; cutters, So inches in
width; 90 feet from foul line to first
pin and 10 feet runway behind the
foul line.
In olden times the English called it
bowls, the French kayles, the Dutch
rubbers, and the Irish called it carri-
geen.
AS early as the thirteenth century
bowls" was played in England.
In America bowling was first intro
duced during the sixteenth century and
played on Manhattan Island. 1t was
played on a small green plot of ground
measuring $50 feet in length with a
prOportionate width. The favoTite
place in those days was know as Bowl
ing Green, New York city.
In 1895 the American Bowling con-
gress was organized at Beethoven hall,
New York City. This organization is
looked upon as the National body and
clubs in the following cities are mem
bers, New York City, Brooklyn, Buffa-
10, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Wheeling,
Boston and Lowell, Mass, and Chica-
go. These clubs play the American
ten frame game on regulation alleys.

The crowd that was fortunate enough
to witness Wednesdays game at SOM
mer's garden saw two records broken,
both of which will hardly be excelled
this season, unless it be on this same
alley, where the Hayseeds and the AL
amos are at home. The Alamos' alley
is recognized as the best equipped
bowling outfit in the city. The place
is large and well ventilated; the balls
and pins are as new as '97 dollars, the
numerous electric lights about the al
ley make things look as light as day.
To sum it all up in a nut shell, it is
just the alley for smashing records,
Their score for the first game was 3O2,
and 365 pins were plucked in the second
contest. The former record of $40 was
also held by the Hayseeds.

The weeks contests opened up on
Monday night at Muth's garden, where
the Government Hill Dramatic club is
at home, and they were booked to play
the Casinos. The first game of the
week was remarkable for it's low but
exceedingly close score. The "Thes-
plans" had the game well in hand dur
ing the entire contest. They began
the last inning with 20 to their credit,
but by genuine streak of hard luck
lost their grip and allowed their OPP
ponents to take the game by one soli-
tary point. Captain Guenther's su-
perior picking at corners and Stoves
good shot on the full brought the Ca
sinos out victorious in as exciting a
game as has been played this season.
The totals for this game-229 and 800
are considered poor scores. The loss
of the first game by such a close mar
gin disheartened the men from the hill
while the Casinos with renewed conf
dence played for dear life and finally
won the second game by score of 260
to 200.

Mission alley was packed with bowl
ing enthusiasts Friday evening. EV-
cry club in the league was represented
by half dozen or more bowlers. The
Missions were slated against last years
pennant winners and this alone was
enough to draw big audience. The
contest was a pretty one, high scores
being made on both sides. The Turn
ers had lost a number of games and a
victory was about due them. They
played hard and finished with a score
Of 302 to 2S9 for the Missions. Now in
the second game tables turned. Capt.
Brian led his men to battle with the
determination of winning, and they
won too with a fair score that would
win most any game. At one time the
365 record was in danger but a little
hard luck in the last inning prevented
the mighty Missions from beating it,.
AS it was they bowled the second high
est score of the seasOn-352, and beat
the Turner's by IS points. The Mis-
siens were satisfied to break even with
the Turner's and are jubilant over the
high scores made.

If the Ivys keep up their present lick
of good bowling they will not only be
the social lions of the league but the
champions for 1897 as we'll. Like the
old ivy vine on the church wall, they
are creeping inch by inch to the top of
the tower, until now they hold the
exalted position of third place, with
81 per cent. The Ivys are not only
good bowlers, but capital entertainers
as well, hence the large number of
ladies present at each game in which
they figure. Their contest at Mission
garden Tuesday evening was no ex-
ception to the rule, for a score or
more of their lady friends were present
and applauded each good play made.
Now, who couldn't win when the fair
ones are there to cheer one on to vic
tory? By defeating the Athletics two
games Tuesday the Ivys won their
eighth straight victory. This is a
record in itself. The Ivys won the
first game by 40 and the second by Is
pins.
