Driving Club Races.

There was rather a small crowd at the
Business Mems Driving Club yesterday on
account of the extreme heat Next week
there will be no races, as a number of the
members of the club have their horses en-
tered for the races at Danville, when men,
bers of the club are to be admitted free.
Several horses belonging to members of
the club will start in the Labor day races
at the state fair grounds Monday. Several
of the horses are at Franklin this week.
Below is a summary of the races yesterday,
with the names of the horses and their
owners:

drudges, they do all the hard work, while
the men care for their spears and guns, and
do the hunting.
They have no system of education, except
for the priesthood. Every family that has
son must provide a priest, and in some
families there are several priests The
families and relatives must support this
priesthood. The priests are not permitted
to marry, and so you find many nuns and
nunneries in Tablet. The nuns are the most
ignorant and degraded class in Thibet and
the nunneries are hotbeds of vice and cor
ruption. They would not be permitted to
exist in any well-regulated civilized city for
moment.
Another thing about this remarkable coun-
try is that there are about five times as
many women as men. Where one boy is born
into the world at least five girls are born
and the Deputy Sacred Lama told me that
the unfortunate ratio is fast increasing. AS
a consequence, when a male child honors

is spread the day after the birth, at which
the mother is present, and friends and rela-
tives come from great distance to par
take of the good things and congratulate
the happy parents.
But what a difference when a girl is born.
The mother weeps and walls and the father

rous expression of woe on his face.

Parlx-..The white slave. ;,

1.-THE White Slave" which will be at the
Park tomorrow matinee and night and until
Thursday, is a living monument to the
genius of BARLEY Campbell, a dramatist
whose plays hold the mirror up to nature,
and who was a man of strong emotions,
seeing the pathetic and humorous side of any
incident calculated to be used in play.
There is in 1.-THE White Slave that poetic
touch which has graced all his work. The
story is woven around the trials and mis-
fortunes of Lisa, who is made to suffer for
mothers sin. The secret Of her birth is de-
veloped early in the play. Her love story is
so tender, so natural and so prettily told that
the audience laugh with her in her happi-
ness, sympathize with her in her trouble,
and rejoice in her final vindication. There
are many people in the PLAY, every char
acter is faithfully drawn. ard all illustrate
the manners and customs OF the Southern
people. Few plays call for more elaborate
stage settings, and a new feature OF the
er Belle Creole illuminated. In this act
'rainstorm sweeps over the steamboat, during
which it is destroyed by fire. This is 1ol-
lowed by a view of the dismal swamp on Red
Devils island. In the cast this season are
Ruth Macauley, Louise Hawthorne, Loduskl
Young. Frank Drew, w: A. Mortimer ana
Griffith Evans.
The Park is to have vaudeville farce the
who claim to be the first white performers
to introduce a cake walk on the stage, are
now stars in Herbert Hall Winslow's "A
High Born Lady," and will appear at the
Park next Thursday matinee. Maud HUH,
who has the title role, has been for a num-
Der of years on the vaudeville stage, and
has made reputation as singer or negro
songs. Billy Clifford, her partner, is well
known as the stage type of a Broadway
chappie. Among the supporting company
are Fisher and Carroll, the. Esher. sisters,
Sam j. Adams, Bijou Russell Lydia Free
man, Fannie Henry, E. G: Clifford, Pearle
Rulings, Frances Bayles, Estelle Hamilton
and Marguerite Adams. The story of "A
High Born Lady, is based on the troubles
of Flossie Shaughnessy, an ex-music hall
singer, who, after brief period of married
life, is left a widow and $4,000 by her late
husband. the money TO be given her at the
end of five years, provided she bears no
other mans name during that period. Two
years before the expiration of the time she
narries Willie Dew Much. In order to get
the $4,000 it is necessary to keep the mar
riage a secret, and the complications, con-
tradictions and mistaken identities form a
groundwork for numerous funny scenes.

Bills at Park and Empire.

"BIue Jeans" with its apple orchard, its
barbecue, it's Rising Sun campaign songs,
its village band, its famous sawmill scene,
its Christmas tree its laughter and its
pathos, is going TO give indianapolis an
other week, beginning tomorrow night,
when the Grand stock company will show
what it can do with Joseph Arthur's favor
tie production. From the time June climbs
over the fence in the first act to the return
of Perry Bascom TO his wife and child in
the last act "Blue Jeans is filled with
heart interest that is natural and convinc-
ing Blue Jeans is so well known here,
having had run, all told, at the different
theaters, of perhaps fifty performances,
that it is almost unnecessary to mention
the beauties of the play. 1t shows life in
small Indiana town in the midst of politi-
cal campaign, all its characters being
drawn from actual types Mr.. Arthur
wrote the piece nearly ten years ago. and
still it is a welcome visitor to this city.
June is the heroic little woman in the play
who is in love with Perry Bascom. Sue
Eudaly is another forcibly-drawn charac-
ter. This gypsy adventures, with her
hatred of June, and her eunningly-worked
scheme of vengeance on Perry for marry
ing the little heroine, is a most fascinating
stage person. She wields strong 1nfiu-
ence over her ignorant lover, Ben Boone.
Col Henry Clay Risener is conspicuous
example of the political boss of small
town. Perry Bascom, with his mixture OF
strength and weakness, is the hero OF Blue
Jeans" but June is the real center around
which the play revolves. The atmosphere
of the play is delightfully."- rural The saw
mill scene is the sensational incident nat
urally introduced that gave the play its
greatest vogue. The comedy of Blue
Jeans is irresistible. The Hankins family,
the TutewiIers the Rising Sun Roarers, all
contribute to the fun-making element in the
play. The versatility of the stock COM
pany's various members will be tested this
week pretty thoroughly. The cast is as fol-
