The three great music festivals of Amer

no festival, the event having been changed

There remain but three more days of the
Grand's season, as the engagement of "A
Baggage Check" which owens there this
afternoon, will wind up things theatrical
in Indianapolis. Blaney's popular farce

ever seen at popular prices. 1t abounds in
good vaudeville acts and is really more of

else. The company is made UP of such we'll

How Auguste Van Biene proposed"
1t is reported that Auguste Van Biene,
the '~cellist, whose appearance was a failure
in this country this season in "a Broken
Melody" which he had played 1000 nights
in London, but who afterwards made a hit
with his cello in the New York music halls,
has chosen Miss Pauline Fletcher for his
bride and will return in the autumn to wed
her. Miss Fletcher was leading woman of
Maurice Barrymore's Roaring Dick &
Co." was formerly a member of Beerbohm
Trees company and recently took to the
vaudeville stage. Van Biene sailed for Eu-
rope two weeks ago and Miss Fletcher adj
mits the truth of the following pretty tale
or courtship:
When the 'cellist began his engagement
at Proctor's Theater, early in April, Miss
Fletcher and Oscar Figman were playing
a sketch at that house entitled, "Rumeo
and Joliet" Through her dressing room
door the actress heard for the first time
Van Biene's performance of Home, Sweet
Home" and was enraptured. When the
musician left the stage she smiled at him
through her dressing room door, and Van
Biene was enraptured. After the perform
ance Van Biene made sure that Miss
Fletcher got home safely.
This was Wednesday. Thursday ditto.
On Friday Miss Fletcher begged the 'cellist
to play Home, Sweet Home" again.
Il have played it for you alone, as / shall
never play it again. said the musician.
Here it is" And he took from his pocket
the cylinder of a photograph.
Together they went TO the nearest phono-
graph establishment, where Van Biene
turned the crank and reproduced the strains
he had drawn from his instrument in the
solitude of his rooms while thinking of
purport of what Van Biene'S monograph
cylinder said. While it said it the musician
wore his most poetic look. Miss Fletcher
capitulated inStanter.

LouisvilIe's New Track.

The new Louisville Auditorium track is
fast nearing completion, according to a
Louisville exchange. Over half of the
cement is laid, and the first of next week
they will start on the electrical work. The
dressing rooms and training quarters will
be one of the strong points of this track.
Prince Wells will pull off the first meet and
he says it will be a good one. Eddie Bald
went out to the track with Mr.. Wells, and
he says when the track is finished it will
be one of the finest of it's kind. Bald wants
to ride the first mile on it, and with a pac-
ing machine says he can ride a mile in bet
ter than two minutes, Everything will be
ready for the opening on the night of
May II.
Bald and Kimble are getting in fine shape
for their match race. The cold snap, with
the rainy days, set them back somewhat.
Both men are riding strong and doing a
good deal of sprinting. Most of Kimble's
work is steady plugging, with one or two
short spurts and one long one just before
he finishes riding. Owen rides every day
the weather permits. This steady work, Is
improving Kimble wonderfully, and his
trainer, Billy Hyland, says when Owen
meets Bald on May Is, he will be in better
shape than he ever was in his life.

Modern RexoIntionnrx Tendencies.

True democracy does not necessarily i'm
ply government by the people; but it does
emphatically imply government for the
people. 1t requires that there shall be no
class enjoying undue privileges, unearned
advantages, over others. 1t demands the
enforcement of laws having for object the
welfare of the greatest possible number of
those living under that government In the
the fulfllment of this purpose every OBJ
Stacle should be removed, every ~precaution
should be taken. No interference, from
whatever quarter, should be tolerated.; no
personal interests, however cherished,
should be permitted to stand in the way of
general interests; no claims, however press
ing, should be allowed which come in con-
1ict with the public veal" This outline of
q system, taken from a work entitled The
Revolutionary Tendencies of the Age, Their
Cause and Their Ultimate Aim" may stand
fairly well as a keynote of the entire work.
1t treats of the causes of existing social
systems and the effect of the diffusion of
knowledge in producing changes. The
author regards the triumph of democracy
thus far as a triumph of mere forms, and
thinks the true democracy, the ideal de-
mOcracy, is yet to come. His main arSu-
ment is that the revolutionary tendencies
of the age are too strong to be resisted,
but that they can and should be guided in
a right direction and on right lines. The
work is thoughtful and earnest. Cloth, $1.25.

History of Ancient Peoples.

A generation ago the history Of ancient
peoples was regarded as settled, and it was
deemed a useless task to try to improve the
various existing records. But man was bent
on finding the lost cities of the past, and
on walking the streets of Troy and MIN
even. Desolated regions were explored and
vast libraries of buried treasures have been
unearthed. Thus in the last twenty years
many pages have been added to historic rec
ords and to the worlds knowledge o.
ancient peoples. The results of these in
vestigations and the conclusions of this re-
Gently acquired knowledge are brought to.

PRIZES FOR EACH HEAT
ANOTHER PLAN TO INCREASE IN
TEREST IN BICYCLE RACES.
Some objection to This in L. A. W.
Louisville to Have Il New
Cement Track.

The desire to increase the speed of cyclists
in heat races has brought about the propo-
sition 10 give prizes TO the winner of each
of the several heats Where a race is neces-
sarily split up into three or four heats the
riders loaf all they can in order to be as
fresh as possible for the tina heat. They
aim to be in the bunch that qualities, and
do not, as a rule, care how long the time is.
But this does not suit the patrons of the
sport, and has done much to discourage rae
ing. How to remedy it is the question which
is worrying those who have it in their power
to remedy it.
The proposition to allow pacemakers to
drop out and qualify and to disqualify all
the riders of the slowest heat have already
been discussed in these columns. The form
er course would be eminently satisfactory
to the riders, but the scheme now proposed
would probably have the desired effect, and
accomplish the purpose better than to allow
~pacemakers to qualify. 1t would make more
of a race from the start. With the rule al
lowing the pacemaker of each heat TO
quality there would necessarily be more or
less of fr1endlinesS manifested, which,
though very proper to exist, does not add
to the interest of the event if it is made
prominent. But to give a prize to the win
ner of each heat would indeed make each
heat a race" and would make the final heat
no less a race.
But there is oD1ectlon 10 TINS plan. Cnalr-
nan Mott. of the racing board, says that,
under the rules of the L. A. W., prizes to
the value of $35 may be given in amateur
trial heats, and to the amount of 500 for
professional trial heats. The New England
member of the board takes the position that
such a course would be an evasion OF the
rule regulating prize value. AS it is in the
New England district that the proposition
to give such prizes has been made the opin-
ion of the New England member seems to
prevail, for Chairman Mott will hardly over
rule his Interpretation of the rule in a case
where there has been no precedent in favor
OF such a course. 1t is. belleVed ne Will
formally sustain the opinion of the New
England member and bring the matter be-
fore the board for adjustment at it's next
meeting.
That something must be done to require
riders to ride out in the trial heats is GER
tain. There are three or four plans pro-
posed, and one of them must be adopted to
insure real sport, and the best results for
all concerned. The plan to give prizes to
heat winners seems to be the fairest and
surest method proposed. 1t should be
adopted. If the racing rules will not per-
nit it the rules should be amended.
