AS II to make up for certain nauseating
experiences of recent occurrence, which need
not be more particularly designated, the
production of "The Isle of Champagne" ="
which opened a half-week's engagement last
night at Boyds, is unusually deserving of
commendaton 1t has been several years
since this bright comic opera was last seen
here, Thomas @. Seabrooke Qlayed the
bbulous king on that occasion and the piece
itself is well enough remembered to ueed no
detailed description at this time. 1t will
take rank, in Qoint OF merit, with any Of the
light Cperas which have obtained vogue
since "The Isle of Champagne has been
dead to the world, tied up in such litigation
as is apt TO trouble the successful. AS pro-
duced al present, under the Biers manage
ment, it is as good and as well worth see
ing as the best of its competitors. The
scenery is new and elaborate, the costumes
fresh. the female chorus numerically strong,
yocally adequate and physically attractive
and the company generally excellent,

own, as OIlSluai as " IS eHettlNe, NO one
who ever saw him in the environment of
Bucksport Maine, needs to be reminded of
his mrth-compeling powers. He has a
serveeable pair of legs, but he does not act
with them exclusively, as the manner of
some is; neither does he depend upon yul-
garity Of speech for his points, There is
an intellectual quality In his work which Is
he more refreshing by reason of its rarity
among light opera comedians. 1t is a oleas-

COMPLIMENT on AMERICAN JOCKEY
London Press Pays Tribute to ''Tod"


S,nOnP.
LONDON, Nov 1.-THE Referee, (which is
considered one of the higher sporting au-
thorities in England, pays a great comCli-
ment today 20 TOD" Sloane, the American
jockey. 1t says:
AT the present moment we don't think
we have a more popular parsonage on the
turf than little Sloane. If the American
goes on doing as well as he has been doing
we shall probably have school Of imitators
sprnging up. His method IS superior to the
English, but only prolonged experience and
a comparison of the two styles can deter
mine which pays better.
AT both meetings last week Sloane dis
tnguished himself and he has become such
a favorite with the racing constituency that
he now has a strong following, while his
services are much sought af-er by owners
and trainers. Whatever may be the merits
of his style their is no gainsaying that he
quickly and also keeping them going
straight, which Is more than many can do
1t is said that he will lay himself out next
year and go in for he best returns in win
ming mounts. If so, he starts with great
pull, as he can ride boys weight and can
command a far greater number of mounts
than any of the topsawyers."
