STORIES OF THE STAGE.

II. A. Roberts as Captain Heartsease
and Miss Nanette Comstock as the
charming Jenny Buckthorn in the re-
vivai of Shenandoah" have several
pretty scenes which find much favor with
audiences. There Is one In particular
in the last act which is exceedingly well
done by these two clever players. Cap
tain Heartsease has returned from the
war as deeply In love as ever. but, like
many another brave man, afraid to
pop the momentous question. He has
told everybody of his love but the girl
of his choice. Gruff old General Buck
thorn advises his daughter to help the
captain a bit. The captain gets half
through his proposal several times but
swings off em. rassed each time on

relevant subject Jenny. who is ready
and anxious TO say Yes is in despair
at the procrastination OF her lover. Re-
Gently in Chicago, when Jenny had

she determines to force the diffident
captain to declare himself. an unex-

ing, tennis and cricket, and, In fact, In
almost every other branch of sport.
These international contests have
been great factors in bringing the coun-
tries closer together, az we'll as I'm cre-
ating healthy state OF respect for each
others Drawn and muscle. Probably the
longest established of these series of in
ternationai sports are the races for tlse
Americas cup. Britannia has for many
years proudly flung her banner to the
winds and proclaimed herself mistress
of the seas, but recent events in the vi
cinity of Cuba and the Philippines prove
that we may have some right to dis
pute that title. and certainly. so far as
speed is concerned. we have many a
time shown that we can build racing
yachts that are unrivaled the world
over. -
Although there is no possibility OF an
international yacht race for the Amer
ica's cup this year. there is a probability
that next year England will once more
try to win back the historic trophy
which has been held by the United
States for 80 many decades.
Some weeks ago Sir Thomas Upton,
Appointment Engiishman, came over To
New York. and IL was said that be-
sides other business he had come to
arrange the details with the officials
of the New York Yacht club for a
race next year. When questioned, Sir
Thomas was remarkably reticent but
acknowledged that it was very possible
that he might issue a challenge in the
near future. Should he wish to race for
the cup Sir Thomas viii have to send
his challenge through some recognized
yacht club.
Sir Thomas A. Upton is by birth an
American. having seen the light first In
South Carolina. where he worked as a

increase the standard of height for polo
ponies from II hands inch, the present
standard, TO IL hands 2 inches, the
height now prescribed by the crack
Hurlingham Polo club of England. The
movement, however. was defeated. and
the reason was probably the following:
At present the standard is not strictly
complied with. many ponies being play
ed which are above the limit set, and IL
was probably the. obvious necessity OF
enforcing the standard II IL were made
any higher and the consequent trouble
involved which deferred the Polo asso-
citation from taking any action in the
matter.
One new rule in effect this season is
that periods In tournament games shall
be four instead OF three in number. as

There Is good deal of talk nowadays

and Of the benefits which would accrue
TO both nations in case such an arr

Many reasons have been given stating
why the Anglo-Saxon nations should
stand together. AS far as the sporting
world is concerned, such an alliance has
been in existence for many years, and
friendly rivalry exists between the ath-
letes OF the two peoples such as does
not exist between the Anglo-Saxon and

A Disappointing Royal Speech.

The speech from the throne, which
was cabled to The Times in advance of
its being read in Parliament, and was
exclusively printed in our morning edi-
tion of yesterday, was a huge disap
pointment TO the British press and pub
lie. although some of the ministerial
organs are attempting to gloss over the
fact. Ii was expected that advantage
would be taken of the occasion to re-
assure the nation on the situation in
the far East. and to offer some evil
dence that the Government had still
some backbone left, and had not COM
pletely surrendered to Russia. 1t was
therefore a surprise that the speech
did not contain a solitary word about
the Chinese question, and the choleric
British citizen is very much inclined to
consider that fact as an indication that
his worst fears, concerning the ability
and courage of the Salisbury cabinet,
have been justified.
Otherwise the pronunciamento is dull
and coIorless. 1t refers to the outbreak
in Northern India with careful avoid
ance of unpleasant details. and re-
marks that a portion of the Afridi
tribes have not yet accepted the terms
offered them" but that elsewhere the
British expeditions have been success
full. Reviewing the plague and famine
in India, Eer majesty is inclined to
think that a prosperous year for that
possession is in prospect. The other
matters treated of are presently unim-
portant at this distance.
Altogether the omission of all refer
ence to the dangerous condition of i'm
perial interests in the far East has pro-
duced very painful effect throughout
the United Kingdom. But the Sails
bury back-down to Russia is essential
ly subject that the present prime
minister would not be likely to include
in writing for his royal and imperial
mistress her speech from the throne.'

Cn0tain Mahan on Hawaii.

Senators who are opposed to Ha-
waiian annexation, and therefore, try
to belittle the Importance of the islands
to this country from a naval point of
view. had rather setback in the ex-
ecutive session of the Senate on Mon
day, when letter from Capt Mahan on
the subject was read by Mr.. Kyle, of
South Dakota.
What this distinguished sea authority
had to say was very much to the point
and made a deep impression He de-
clared that the Hawaiian islands could
easily be made defensible. If held by
any other power with which this coun
try possibly might be some time at
wal. we should be compelled to take
them before having any chance to whip
the hostile navy which, with such
base, could make excursions against
our Pacific coast impossible if we held
the group. Capt. Manan held that
without the islands no nation could
successfully attack us on our western
shore, which, equally, we could not
defend without their possession and
fortified occupation.
Considerations like these ought to
weigh heavier than the interests of the
British empire and the Sugar Trust.
We believe that in the end they will.
