Grand-'The Private Secretary

The orchestra was under the stage at
both performances at the Grand yesterday
the house being crowded both matinee and
evening and the two big audiences greatly
enjoyed William Gillette's comedy. 1.-THE

the real thing, and during the first act it

little while it was funny. but the parrot
like some stage folks, seemed to become
imbued with the idea that it was the whole
show just because one or two of it's
speeches took well, and so it kept on talk

parrot should rehearse some more or be

land, as Douglas Cattermole, the sporty
nephew, who is palmed off as the private
secretary gave additional evidence of his
versatility, and Mr. Sheldon, who played the
real secretary, was so good that he made
the role seem natural, and the audience took

the private secretary. She was as sweet as
a rose in the character and it is a relief to
see her in part that does not require her,
or permit her, to leave the stage in a Duse

not been seen before since this organiza-

the entertainment was on a high plane of

and those who left at the close of the first

first half of the programme those Of Foy

mention. Foy was ably supported by Miss
Clark in a series of clever songs, tricks and
take-offs. The Nawns were instantly recog-
nized as old-time favorites and received a
hearty welcome. which spurred them 10 do

presented yesterday. There was a good deal
of conversation. the play being constructed
on Legitimate" lines. and the gallery
wanted action. After a speech from Man

a little. though Interruptions were frequent
through the performance. The play is an
average farce-comedy. and quite 4 number
of specialties were introduced. including the
pantomimic and statue dance of the three
Helston sisters, which possessed, at least
the merit of novelty and was fairly well
executed. Frank n. Wills won several
laughs in his character of the retired brew

RACE TRACK SPORT.
Horses Will Be Trained Regularly
at Washington Park and Many
Match Races Will be Run.

The owners of the horses in the 3
minute class trot or pace for July 4,
may soon match their horses for an
other race.
The two that didn't win think with q
little more training they can beat
the 'Dun Pony"
The Dun pony was formally owned
by ]. A. Smith and is we'll known in
the city and has lots of hackers; while
Lady Cleveland Is known to be very
fast she is not considered so level
headed as dun Pony"
Cleo, owned by the Star tables, was
a spoiled buggy mare that two weeks
ago was not worth her feed, as she
would rear up and fali back and break
things to pieces and it took the whole
stable to get her started. Her trainer
can now handle her alone and she is
proving to be a very good roadster, as
she won the 5th heat in the race in
1.2S which is 2.56 gait for the mile.
Mr.. Caldwell thinks the best and
cheapest way to break horses is to
train them at the track and have them
given plenty of work. He will have q
trainer employed most of the time this
fall and sumo good sport may be looked
for at the track as we'll as com bining it
with business.
