ner of the sporting Enclosure without much
wear and tear of his thOrax. He holds the
cOrnucopia looking affair to his lips, aims
its muzzle at the persons he is addressing
and talks in an ordinary tone. His mes
sage is thrown to it's recipients as a roar

When bicycle racing became one of the
recognized sports, the official announcer
played an important role right from the
start. Not only was he found to be nee
essary adjunct in informing the patrons
of race meetF of what was going on, but
he was called upon to help the clerk of the
course in getting the contestants out on
their marks promptly. Women preparing
for the theater are less dilatory than a lot
of cyclists making ready for their races
The clerk of the course often verges upon
insanity in trying to get his men to the
starting point in quick time SO as to pre-
vent annoying delays between races
The Oldest announcer in point of service
as we'll as the best known is Frederick w
Burns, an athlete of great skill in his
youth and an all around sportsman. His
popularity as an announcer is due in no
small measure to his keen sense of hu-
NOR. He is quick to appreciate an oppor-
tunity for witty sally and never fails to
take advantage Of it.

the lot of the new star is not an unadul-
teratedly happy one. Some time ago it
was announced that she had engaged
Frank Worthing as her leading man. Mr..
Worthing is very fair actor, though it is
doubtful that he will ever become the rival
of Richard Mansfield 1t is reported that
when the position with Miss Allen was
offered Mr.. Worthing he accepted by cable,
being in London at the time. A little later,
when Miss Allen went across to consult
the author, Hall T. Caine as to the con-
eeption of the principal character, Glory
Quayle, and the mounting of the piece,
Worthing is reported to have sent word
that he would have to inspect the part in
tended for him before signing the con-
tracts. Then he said that he had concluded
to join Charles Frohman's forces.
Coming only a short time before re-
hearsals were to have begun, it was irri-
tating in the extreme, but Miss Allen S
managers promptly opened negotiations
with Robert Taber, the talented husband
of talented Julia MarlOwe If Mr.. Taber
should accept the place originally intend
ed for Mr.. Worthing, Miss Allen will have
cause to congratulate herself, for in many
lines of work Robert Taber has no supe-

of seasons he has been with Sir Henry r.

was produced it was generally conceded by

''Sir Airy by his son, the author, it was
Robert Taber who really carried off the
honors of the piece. 1t is gratifying to
hear that this sterling young actor may
come back. We already have too few lead
ing men of the first grade in this country,
and we have not yet reached the point
where we can afford to export our con-
scientiOus and rising performers, even
though it be for the purpose Of pleasing
our prospective allies, the English.
Some time ago when Henri Rostand's
poetic drama, @Cyrano de Bergerac, - was
produced in Paris by Coquelin, Henry r.
wing sought and was given an option on
the English rights of the piece. A little
later his representative went to Paris to
report upon the probable value of the play
to Sir Henry. His report was unfavOrable,
and the great English actor concluded
that he would try something else instead.
He had practically relinquished his option
when COqUelin went to London and gave
"Cyrano de Bergerac, - of course in French.
The play was such an enormous success,
even with the disadvantage of being rem
dered in a foreign tongue, that Mr.. Irving
wanted to reconsider his determination
and is now engaged in a second effort to
regain the rights which he voluntarily re
linquished. Perhaps he may have been in
duenced in this desire by the ruInor that
Beerbohm Tree and Forbes Robertson are
both after the piece. 1t was Sir Henry's
original intention to do ''Cyrano de Ber-
gerac' in England and then use it in his
repertOry on the occasion Of his next visit
to this country, but inasmuch as Richard
Mansfield has already secured the rights
for America the value of the play to the
Englishman has materially decreased. 1t
would be difficult to conceive how Henry
Irving could adequately portray a man
whose large nose almost drove him to de-
hr1k fr,ag ho had 10
temerity to play Napoleon Bonaparte,
however, of the experiment will be watch
ed with interest on this side as well as in
England.
Glen Marlborough, who afew years ago
achieved much fame and some fortune by
writing a farce entitled 1.-The Prodigal
Father and another which reveled in the
designation "Delmonico's at Six" and
who later rather destroyed the reputation
he had won by perpetrating The Gold
Bug and 1.-The Algeriansg - will be well
represented on the stage again during the
coming season. That clever actress and
shrewd business woman, May Irwin, will
star in one of Mr.. Mac DOnOugh's plays
that has been named Kate Kip, Buyer. -
THE piece has already been tried and is
said to have been eninenoly successful.

Marquis of Michigan" in which Sam

Lieut.. Maxfield and Col. Derby were
the two officers who went up in the signal

distance from Siponey, Cuba. This expe-
dition into the air has, as is known by
all newspaper readers, been the subject ct
much criticism. 1t was most dangerous
undertaking and the two brave men took
their lives in their hands when they
undertook it. The balloon was carried up
the hills about four miles from Sevilla
and then sent up above the firing line of
the Spaniards. The rifles of the enemy
were turned upon it and volley after
