The metropolitan Permanent Orchestra 1t the
Madison Square Roof Garden,
For several years there has been o demand for
q roof garden in New York that would take in q
measure the place Of tho usual promenade con-
certs which are attempted in one form or an.
other every year. The vaudeville on the roofs
does not appeal TO all audiences, and there has
been o feeling that o good orchestra playing
popular programmes would be q form Of roof
garden entertainment that would I'LL . demand.
But that ind of q roof garden was slow In COM
ing. 1t began to look after a while as though
the gay soubrette and the knockabout comedian
were to hold the field indefinitely.
This season tho desired enterprise has taken

tan Permanent Orchestra Is giving admirable
concerto. The orchestra, since the retirement Of
Anton Seldl, has been under the direction Of
Adolph Nenendor6, and 1t is at present in excel
lent condition. The programmes include popular
az well as classical music, they are admirably Sc
lected. and the roof garden offers every facility
to pass, o summer evening that many OF the old
places lack.
The concerts given now at tho Garden have
solved with success the question of popular
summer music which usually comes up In some
form every year. These Concerts have the ad-
situation IL accessible, and Adolph Neuendorff
Is o musician whose participation in this enter
prise Is sufficient to insure its artistic quality.
The question Of summer night music seems to
have been met moro successfully this year than
ever before.

tally-ho coach which was knocked to pieces
by q train in the fatal accident on Memorial
Day. "Old Stage" was born seventeen years
ago. The Hamiltons got him when he was o
puppy, and, being a coach dog, 1t was his great
delight to be allowed to follow the big tally-ho
coaches when they went out with parties. II q

HANDBALL.
Carney Surprises Fitzgerald nc ChicaEo-Gnmes

CHICAGO, June 13.-The most important pro-
~fessional handball match Of the year opened to-
day at Kennedy's court in tho presence Of q
large crowd of enthusiasts. The principals were
James Fitzgerald. champion Of Ireland, and
James Carney. champion of the West. They
are matched to play o rubber OF fifteen games
for 800 a side. Seven games were on the
schedule for to-day. the balance Of the rubber to
be played out at tho Brooklyn Clubs court on
July 4.
Al this was Fitzgerald's first appearance in a
public match in this country, there was the
who had made such short work of John Lawlor
on the other side. Fitzgerald stripped and
ney won six out Of the seven games. OF course
he had an advantage in knowledge of the local
court, but this would scarcely account for the
wide margin he placed to his credit. Fitzgerald
may do better at Brooklyn.

WAS HERE IN so.

Last week j. G. Southwick, cashier OF
the Bank Of Bennett, Neb., visited
Wichita for three or four days, his first
trip to this city since 1859. at which time
he was here with Gen. Hazen, then COM
mander of all the Indian posts in Kan
sls and the Indian territory. When Mr..
Southwick was here on his first trip
there were only two buildings where
Wichita now stands. One of them,
owned by man by the name of Hop
kins, was made OF posts stood on end
beside each other around square and
pales laid cross-ways on top for roof.
Flour and meat were piled inside. The
other place was not finished and Hop
kins' place was the only store between
Junction City, Ka.., and Ft. Sill, /. 7.
Mr. Southwick was then private clerk OF
Lnwrie Totum, agent at Ft. Sill, and
made a record OF his trip at the time he
was st Wichita, at which time they went
from Junction City TO FIT. Sill. The notes
show that the Arkansas river was a
1alf a mile wide and apparently deep
enough to carry river boat. Now it is
possible to walk across the bed dry shod
for several months in the year, and al no
time is il half mile wide, or the fourth
of it. nor does it get full enough TO hide
the grass tops of the long white sedge
clusters that nave commenced TO grow
along the former channel.
