10 might repeat the performance lh
the Irritation scene her acting was excel
lent. She had evidently studied the part
well and was a charming coquette.
Mr.. Smith as the German dancing master
made several local hits that brought forth
loud laughs from the audience.
The principals Misses Fallon and
Scholar and Messrs. Thatcher and
Gregory showed remarkable improvement
over their last performance.
The Goodnight song is probably the
most tuneful in the opera and this quar-
tette rendered it almost faultlessly.
More professionalism was put into the
acting last night than on the former &C.
casions and the audience enjoyed the love
scenes hugely. At one time an imitation
kiss was encored.
The mirror dance by Misses Fowler,
Saunders, Hawkins, Morrow, Housman and
Ewing was one of the hits of the evening.
They were dressed in red and blue cos
tunes and gave some very clever skirt
dancing. The audience would not be salts
fed until an encore had been responded to.
The descriptive solo of the findings of the
bodies washed ashore from the shipwrecl
was well rendered by Miss Mackey. She
has a sweet soprano voice, bordering al
most on metro soprano, which shows con-
siderable cultivation.
The only change made in the cast last
night was the cannibal. This part was
taken by Sam Cowan. He made merry of
the role and made many laughs at his
funny FRANKS.
The chorus included some of the city's
best talent and gave the soloists admirable
support
The performance last night was given as
a benefit to Miss Daisy Rowley the COM
poser of Terra Sorts and large crowd
turned out.
Miss Rowley desires 1t stated that she ex-
tends her thanks to the public and mem
bers of the troupe who so kindly aided in
last nights performance.

GENERAL HARRIsON,s ARGUMENT
IN THE VENEZUELA CASE.
He Holds Great Britain Is Not War
ranted I'm Grabbing Any Part of
the Republics Territory.

PARIS, Sept. 2.-Continuing his argu-
ment in behalf of Venezuela before the An
glo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration COM
mission to-day, ex-President Benjamin Har-
rison said the issue of diplomatic CORE
%spondence showed that Great Britain had
never claimed more than the Dutch had.
He held that the legal and political de-
partments of the British Foreign Office did
not seem to agree, the latter taking its in
spiration from the surveyor, Sir Robt.
Schomburgk, while Sir Richard. Webster,
the British attorney general, went further
and claimed the extended Schomburgk line.
Concluding, Mr.. Harrison said he proposed
to show that the Dutch rights of 1914 were
much smaller than those of any line now
suggested by Great Britain and that those
lines were now extinct through the dis
puted territory. Any extension, he asserted,
of the original lines could only be claimed
through prescription or adverse holding,
and that all the rest OF the country be-
longed TO Venezuela. The commission adj

The Columbia shows Her Speed.

BRISTOL. r. l.. Sept. H.-The Columbia
left for a sail down the bay this forenoon,
going out under mainsail, jb and club top
sails. She sailed down toward Newport
and on her way met the Defender coming
up. Immediately the yachts started in for a
brush. racing up the coast for a distance
of five and three-quarter miles. Although
the Defender was pushed hard. she was over
a half mile behind at the end OF the lun.
The sailing was all TO the windward. Rain
caused a sudden termination of the race.
The Columbia took off her head sails and
slowed them, taking in her mainsa1l to
prepare for being towed in by the steam
yacht.
The mainsail used to-day was not the
same sail used yesterday or the day before,
but another of the many big pieces of cam
vas which were put on for a test Of fitness.
There are thirty-six mainsails to choose
from. and the Columbia's manager wishes
to pick out the best for the big race. All
these sails. 1t is estimated, are worth $4,000.
The mainsail to-day was lighter than that
of yesterday. which has been taken apart
at the HerreShoff sail loft. There have
been some misunderstanding about the Co
lumbia's mast. She did not put in here to-
day so that the new steel mast could be
stepped. She will continue to sail with the
old steel mast which broke and was re-
paired until it is proved that a new spar
is needed. The Columbia put in here rather
to get the benefit of Nat Herreshof's eX-
perience in tuning up.

Mr.. E. E. Stroup, who is a personal friend
of State Fish Commissioner Sweeney, has
been corresponding with that gentleman
relative to the furnishing of this cotnty
with a few pairs Of pheasants, these birds
having been recently introduced in this
country from China, Indiana now being en-
titled to a proportion of them. This morn
ing Mr.. Stroup received a letter from Mr..
Sweeney. in which he instructed him to
prepare to care for a number of pairs Of
Monaghan pheasants. This Mr.. Stroup will
do at once. These birds are about the size
OF prairie chickens, are dead game,' are
very easily domesticated, and, with any,
thing like half-decent treatment, will come
around the barns to feed. They are great
insect destroyers, and for this reason will
be of special benefit to the farmers They
are exceedingly prolific. raising each season
not less than two large broods. The male
bird Is almost as handsome as a bird of
Paradise. their feathers being of bright
hues and of various colors, the tail feathers
dragging the ground. Mr.. Stroup will Sc
lect the farms on which the birds will be
placed. They are perfectly hardy, and will
take care of themselves.
