New City Sport. at the Bon Ton.


The show at the Bon Ton this week is
much above the average. The company
is Phil Sheridan's New City Sports. "
and it is one of the most talented, anus
ing and best appointed companies that
has appeared at this house during the
season. The entertainment opens sith
'Maloney's Visit, or an Old Maids Dilin-
ma" written by Mr.. Sheridan. The
scene is laid out in Paris and gives an
illustration of the gayest kind of gay life
in the French capital. The singing and
dancing are of the first order, the cos
tunes Of the wor,ae are gorgeous and the
performance throughout is full of wit
and humor.
Alice Leslie in the olio made decided
hit with her singing. One ofthe best fea-
lures of the show is the pantemims pro-
duced by the Monte Myro troupe of four.
The tricks they perform are simply Won
derful Whitelaw andStewart in German
and Irish dialect speaking and sing are
highly entertaining. Their jokes and songs
are new. ss. -.
..Pastirne among the Flowers" which Is
produced by Miss Crissie Sheridan and
twelve of the handsomest women IN the
company, is a gorgeous and highly en-
tertaining spectacular performance. Fol
lowing that are George B. Scanlon and
Pearl Andrews in After the Review
which is full of fun.
Joseph Farnum and Lille Nelson give
wonderful acrobatic performance. The
young woman does acrobatic feats that
few women in the profession would at
tempt. The team completely captured
the audience. The olio closes with A. g
Lawrence, a very clever artist. The
Troubles of a King" which concludes
the entertainment, kept the audience ir
roars of laughter from beginning to end.

AMUSEM ENTS.
A Parlor Match at the Biiou.

Evans and Hoey's evergreen success,
Hoyt's three act farce, "a Parlor Match, "
was produced last evening, without
the Evans and Hoey at the Bijou. The
evergreen successors on this occasion
were Philip H. Ryley as Il McCorker,"
the book agent, and Mark Sullivan as
'sOld Hoss," and they managed TO keep
the audience on broad smile during the
entire performance.
The farce was a succession of jokes,
cake walks, dances and comic songs from
the moment y McCrocker' introduced
himself as-the book agent with his AL
calf, half calf and all skim in the first
act to the ringing down OF the curtain
upon his engagement to innocent Kidd
Mr. Ryley was very good in his part
He seemed to have proper snap, go and
cheek, for the book agent. and his scenes
with "Old Hoss" and Innocent KID are
extremely funny.
captain Kidd" (James T. Galloway,
too is very good in the conception of his
part, especially, is his facial expression,
and Innocent Kid, edith HoyD is very
cute in all her dances and songs.
In the second act the materializations
from the mysterious cabinet are most IN
teresting. Each spirit is invested upon
its arrival with some special talent for
dancing, high kicking, comic song, and
what not, quite enough to prove that
spirits are not evoked from Heaven.
OF these the Kingsley Sisters in their
coon songs are deserving of special praise,
but it was the Olympia Quartet in .'Our
Volunteers who took the audience by
storm in their patriotic songs and marches
not to mention the jokes about beef sand
wiches. They were called and recalled.
Eta Butler, who has been called the
American Cissie Lotus, gave several i'm
presentations, the most familiar of which
was of May Irwin in ''If you amt got no
money! Her imitation was excellent till
it came to the singing. In her laugh snd
preliminary remarks one had only to close
ones eyes to recognize May Irwin.
Tom Brown in his whistling was also
very good especially when he whistled
two tunes at onece, and the chorus songs
were equal to the occasion. Mark Sulii-
van was also very good in his specialties.
His voice last evening was somewhat inn
paired by a bad cold, but he surmounted
the difficulty exeellently.

BASE BAIL COMMENT.


Columbus Iuntends to give Torrey-
sons Wanderers loyal reception to-
day. Says yesterdays Columbus Jour
nal:
Manager Torreyson visited the Par
sons avenue grounds yesterday after
noon, and was much pleased with the
appearance Of the field and the ar
arrangement and condition of the stands.
When some Of the other teams in the
league first appear here, the outfelders
are liable to get lost in the big stretch
OF territory in center and right helds'
At Toledo the grounds are boys Size
and many an easy hit becomes a nome
run on account Of the vicinity OF the
fences TO the home plate. Perhaps this
partially accounts for the Mud Hens
long lead.
Twelve men compose the team at
present. not including Fisher, an In
fielder, under suspension. or Bailey, the
pitcher for whom Boston has been
making q fight. Manager Torreyson
received telegram from Manager Sc
lee, Of Boston last night, raising his
offer OF 500 for BalIey's services TO
$3.50. The Columbus manager imme-
dIately replied that he would not TAKE
less than $500. the draftlngtprIce in the
Interstate. He said last-night that
II Bailey would come here. cheerfully'
and pitch good ball he woddshot think
Of selling him. But the young man
has the big league bee in~hls bonnet,
and he may persuade Selee that his
pitching arm Is worth three centuries.
Harper, whom Mr. Torreyson con-
slders his most reliable pitcher, will
pitch tomorrow, and Bevlle. win wear
the mask and mltt. The genial mana
ger says that he realizes that he must
encounter some prejudice from those
who believe the Interstate TO be n
frcsh-water league. incapable OF fur
nishIng a fast article OF BALI All he
asks Is n fair trial. No one has right
to critlcise without Investigation. The
four games to DO played -with New
Castle will give an opportunity OF
Judging what the strength OF the new
team Is. Let every lover OF base ball
in this city acqualnt himself with the
facts before he criticises or condemns.
Mr.. Torreyson assures the fans that
they will not be disappointed in the
work OF the team, and every. one may
prove this assertion true or mistaken by
linking look at the new=6enntors to-
morrow,
