CLOSING OF PARK.
The King Company Makes
a Hit Summer Season
at Lothrop's.


The King Dramatic Company has
made decided hit at Lothrops. Com
ing as it did, practically unknown, the
excellent work of its members readily
won the confidence Of playgoers
almost proverbially quick to appreciate
merit when they find it. and the pat
ronage has grown so that the success
OF the three weeks Of the troupes stay
is an assured fact
The several players have already be-
come favorites. and are warmly greet.
ed upon their nightly appearances, no
tably Messrs. Brown, Kyle, Castle
Rowe and Burroughs, and the Misses
Tenant, De Vault, Hay and Irving.
For the first half Of the coming week
will be given Hands Across the Sea, .
perhaps the most famous of all melo-
dramas and a great winner every
where. The list of scenes includes the
farm at Devonshire, the Grand Hotel
Paris the prison La Roquette, with the
guillotine, and the harbor of Sydney
Australia. 1t is worthy of note that not
a piece of local scenery is used during
this performance or for the entire en-
gagement.
On the last three days of the week
Augustus Pitou's play, THE Power OF
the Press" will be presented with the
same scenery and mechanical effects
that marked its three months prosper
GUS run at the 14th Street theatre, New
York
On Monday. June g. Manager Wilton
will inaugurate a summer season al
Lothrop's, with stock company of his
own. Both plays and players are to
be of the highest character procurable
and the season will continue so long as
the public will stand for it. Every
known facility will be used to render
the theatre comfortable in temperature
and the enterprise is to be conducted
on similar lines to the Castle Square
of Boston.
The opening bill will be William Gil
lette's Held by the Enemy" to be
followed by "The Prisoner of Zenda, .

New South Sowing the Wind" and
similar famous successes. Negotia-
tions are pending with Kendall Weston

ing man will probably be Harry Burk-
hardt Of this city, who at present holds
a similar position at Forepaugh's, Phil

company will shortly be announced.

ally camp on the unrivaled courts.
Many people of a literary turn Of
mind embrace their holiday as an OPP
pOrtunity to become better acquainted
with the thoughts of their writer's and
to that end seek spots referred to IN
the readings. To the admirer of Mary
Jane Holmes, than whom there is no
more popular novelist in Worcester,
what a pleasure a trip to any of the
places named in her novels would
bring! How much nearer it would
bring writer and reader to pass a por-
ton of the holiday at the Pequot
House, New London, and sit on the
rocks, walk the beach and live in the
hotel where the romance of Rose Ma
Their" was conceived. The lover Of
Whittier too, might take an outing
among the points which inspired the
poet and enjoy communion with the po-

"a ssed so pleasant a summer.
The student of history glorying in
his American independence, and ac-
quainted with historic spots in his own
state, may take his outing in rich and
rural Vermont, along the famous Like
Champlain, and while enjoying his

Green Mountain boys who followed

The botanist and mineralogist can
find a rich field in Mt. Wachusett and
while his family are enjoying the life
and air Of the aountain and with field
glasses sweeping the landscape and on
fair days getting a distinct view of
ships entering Boston harbor, he can
probably follow his bent on the slopes.
To all classes and people in all con-
ditions of life the summer resort co..
umn in The Spy can be pcrused with
profit, and it is believed that many

day was field day and.no one could have
asked for more perfect weather At
$50 a. m. the exercises began, and an
enthusiastic crowd of several hundred
girls, grouped about class banners,
watched the games the whole morning.
There was a great deal of the usual ex-
element and cheering, especially over
the three-legged, obstacle, and potato
races, which were perhaps not the most
important features of the program, but
at all events, the most amusing. AS
several matches have not yet been fin

to make a successful attack on the
risibles Of any intelligent audience
Another very strong act which is to
be presented is that of The three Merk-
ellie sisters, the wonderful acrobatic
trio, who have been the sensation of
the year in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. Their act is one of the
most thrilling and refined on the stage,
and costs double the money that most
vaudeville acts can be had for.
The great comedy musical trio. COM

The present situation of baseball in the

hardly possible that the American Aszo-

tional League should reduce the number
of its clubs to eight President Nick Young
was seen last night by a Times reporter, to
whom he made the following statement.
After very many years of active service
in the National League, | think / am capa-
bic of forming an opinion in reference to
the present baseball situation. There is
no doubt but what the American Associa-
tion is strong, but when it comes to getting
the players away from the League next

many difficulties. Baseball players play for

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION.
Important Meeting of the Orgnniza-

The annual meeting of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union of the United States viii be
held at the Astor House in New York next
Monday morning. Several changes in the
constitution are contemplated. and the cleo
ton Of officers and a new board will con-
clude the meeting The legislative commit
tee has its proposed amendments i'll shape
and they have been submitted TO ali the
delegates in accordance with the require
ments of the constitution. The amendment
by which it is hoped to stop college ath-
letes from competing in games under the
coIors of an athletic club has been caus-
ing much debate in athletic circles. There
is no doubt but what the athletic clubs have
been encouraging professional athlet-
les by supporting the college student dur
ing the summer months while he cOmpetes
in contests under the clubs colors. The

will do away with this professional
business and college man Will have TO be
either an athletic club or a college repre-
sentative, but not both. The college fac
ulties throughout the North strongly ad-
vocate the adoption of the change proposed
by the union. They have further intimat-
ed that the Inter collegiate Association win
give its attention to the relations of the
undergraduates to athletic clubs at their
next meeting. There is growing senti-
nent against college men representing ath-
letic clubs in any capacity, as the ath-
letic associations at the big colleges ascribe
many Of the present abuses of athletics to
these clubs. Princeton enforces a rule
making IL necessary for any student wish
ing TO represent an athletic club TO obtain
the consent of the faculty.
Last season the Inter collegiate Assoca~
tion devoted some attention to the crcum-
stances OF athletes being at the varsity
training table in college and at the summer
homes of the athletic organizations during
the months of the summer vacation. This
continuous training was considered inju-
rious and rules were made fOrbiding it, but
for some reason these rules have never bseu
enforced.
Among other business matters TO be dis
Cussed at the unions meeting will be the
protests entered against Arthur McElhonne,
OF this city. by the students of Johns Hop
kins University in the A. A. V. champion
ship games held in Baltimore last Saptem-
