and, as before, an entirely new pro-

We're induced into successive states of
merriment. disgust and enthusiasm,
and at a word turned to stone, as it
were, presenting most ludicrous tab

pantomime of belle before her mirror
to perfection and the sleigh riding of a
loving couple created roars of delight.

J. J. Corbett will now go mas
they say in England-for Shakespeare.
Shakespearean play at the request of
the Rev. Richard Golden, the rector of
St. Johns Episcopal church at Larch-
mont. in a benefit performance for the
church.
''As You Like It" is the play chosen,
and it will be pulled off" to use
phrase in vogue in pugilistic circles, on
the evening of Aug. a. at the Larch-
mont Yacht club.
In the play Corbett remains true to
his original calling. He will be Charles
the Wrestler. 1t is part essayed be-
fore by no less light than William
Mudoon, who toured the country as
Charles with Modeska.
Charles the Wrestler is a man of
muscle, and with a gift for oratory
which nothing but the genius of
Shakespeare was able to curb. AS it is,
the great dramatist has succeeded in
keeping the cyclonic vauntings of
Charles within dozen or so lines. And
when at their conclusion Charles gets
the cue for another attack of pugi1istic
rhetoric, he is only restrained from
further speech by sudden death.

In Albany the other day. when the
Primrose & Dockstader parade started
out it was followed by a big coach
covered with bunting and announcing
the coming of the rival show. Some of
the Primrose people tore lot of the
bunting away, and there was what
looked like the beginning of a small
but lusty riot for some little time.
Later on, when the decorated coach
again tried to join the opposing parade,
it was necessary to call the police, who
promptly placed Mr.. Vests agent I'M

The story of "Bandmann and the
Bull has reached New York, as shown
by the following from Leander Rich
ardson's column in the Telegraph:
Herr Bandmann. who runs a milk
ranch in the far Northwest. recently
purchased a valuable short horn bull.
which he intended to add to his herd of
cattle.
But when the effort was made to I'M

and drive him over to the ranch, he tore
