END OF THE CYCLONE.
1t Manifested Itself Throughout This
Section Yesterday.

Boston, September 12.-For q time to-
day this city suffered great lnconve-
nience from interrupted communication.
owing to a wind storm, which caused
havoc to telegraph lines. For several
hours New York and Connecticut points
could not be reached while traffic was
interrupted at intervals in other direc-
tiOns. The disturbance was due to the
passage northward Of the remnant Of the
great storm which devasJed Galveston.
The hurr icane, after passing over Gal
weston on Saturday night, took a nor
therly course to Oklahoma, then, turn
ing towards the northeast went along
the great lakes and today was rapidly
moving over the St. Lawrence vslley.
New England aid not feel the full
force OF the storm, but the wind showed
its strength in ntful gusts which attained
velocity as high as 40 miles an hour.
The speed of the wind, save when the
squalls came, was not more than Is miles
an hour and the gusts varied in strength
from 20 to 45 miles. This freakishness
caused the damage to telegraph lines.
Very little other damage was reported.
At some points the wind was accom-
panied by no signs of rain. In thi city
bright skies shone, but in other sections
heavy clouds and threatening conditions
prevailed.
The weather bureau predicted at 10
O'Clock that the hurricane would pass out
to sea from the mouth of the ST. Law
renee within II hours and that the wind
would subside.
Reports received in Boston before the
wires failed from New York and Canadi-
an points, showed that the wind reached
a velocity o between 20 and 80 miles an
hour in the path Of the storm.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RIVERTON PARK.

There were large and delighted audien-
ces at Riverton Park yesterday afternoon
and evening. The Matus Royal Hugari-
an orchestra discoursed the most en-
trancing music and the vaudeville show
gave the greatest satisfaction. This is
the last week at this beautiful summer
resort and the fine afternoons and eve
nings are being taken advantage Of.
The management has exercised the
grea est care In selecting an attraction
for this week and few previous enter
tainments ever given at Riverton con-
tained so many novel and amusing
features. The Kenyons, the famous Eu-
ropean equilibrists and aerial artists are
of the best seen here in their line. The
idea of a man balancing a ladder with
trapeze rugged in it's top, while pretty
and daring lady gymnast executes a series
of wonderful areial feats. is an act that
it as interesting for It's novelty as it Is at
tract1ve fer the skill displayed. The
musical artists Gordon and Lick, can
not be exceIIed If they can their SUI

NINE. SCH UMANN-HEINK
Who WIN Appear Mt tho Next Maine
Music Festival

The public recalls with great favor An
ME Louise Carey, who is still living.
She was a woman of noble appear.
ance on the stage, and she possessed a
voice of notable richness, beauty and
power. Her singing of such parts as
"Amneris'' in ''Adia,'' and ''Leonora'
in LA Favorita' is one Of the glorious
traditions of the local operatic stage.
Zelie TrebelH came to America in her
later days when much OF the beauty OF
her voice had disappeared, though enough
remained to enable her to achieve a con-
siderable success. Since those two wom-
en- used to sing to US, we have had no
great contralto until the advent of Nine.
Schumann- Heink. 1t is not because this
German contralto sacrifices beauty of
vocal style to the dramatic engery that
this is so, but because her art is the full
lest and most convincing exem plifioation
OF true dramatic singing. She has really
a majestic voice and her command of it
is well nigh perfect, as her fawless exc
cution of the two octave jump at the end
of the FBrindisi'' proves. In all the
passages which lie within the natural
range of her voice-one as large as Albo-
ni's-her emission is smooth sonorus and
productive Of unfailing beauty of tone.
Her phrasing is almost invariably the
perfection of art, and her enunclatiOn of
the text shows a perfect command of
vocalization. These features of her
IN ethod enable her to sing such thing
as the ''Brindisi' with all the beauty of
color ever impaired to it by an italian
singer, while her winsome personality
enables her to fill the hollow OF melody
with wealth OF vitality which it GER
tainly has not known since the prime

TON SHARKEY KNOCKED OUT
Gus Rublin, the Akron Giant,
Did the Trick.
HAD FIFTEEN FURIOUS ROUNDS
The Sailor Aggressive All ths
J Time.


New York, juno 81. For the first timo
in his Npugilistic career, Thomas j.
SharkeY'went duwn last night to de-
cisive defeat in the historic arena Of
the Seaside Athletic Club, and big Gus
Ruhlin, the Ohio puailist, as his con
9ueror. II was clean Knockout after
10 rounds of fighting that made a
memorable ring battle Save in the
matter of aggressiveness, Rubin led
from the face of in every feature Of the
game. and ut oil times had the fight
well 10 hand.
Sharkey did not give up his place 10
the line OF first.clnss heavyweights
without a desperate struggle. No
soldier ever gave more desperate battle
mo man sinking to Inconsistencies
ever chung more detarminedly to his
vitality, Even at the end, when blinded
by the blows Of his powerful opponent
and dulled mentally by the battering
of his foe, he clung instinctively to the
massive frame Of the man who was his
MASTER
The decisive battle and unexpected
result were truly surprise for the
sporting public. No line Of form that
could be figured gave the Ohioan more
than a to 2 chance. SharKey had met
aud at least stood off al of the leading
heavyweights new In the ring. He
was known to be giant In strength,
| courageous to a point hey ond discretion
and aggressive. Rubin, on the other
hand, had never made particularly
good showing against any man Of
reputation, and was regarded as second
rater OF pronounced type. Hence,
there was apathy Ms to the fight, and
while there was some spirited betting,
Rubin never showed better than 10 to
| Z, and IT was eren money that he would
not last 10 rounds. The management,
in fact, decided to put the general
| admission down n ST. There was a
big crowd on hand, however, and they
were treated to a rsttling good fight,
with astonishing results.
| The impatient crowd gave Sharkey u
fail volley ut applause when he ap.
reared, and was not specially en-
thusiastic when Rubin came in a
minute later. When the men came
together, speoulators went through the
crowd Offering 2 to on Sharkey. AT
those figures, there was heavy play.
AS the men SPARED to all opening IL
could be seen that Rubin showed i'm.
proved footwork and greater cleverness
in avoiding punishment. He also
showed fierce Furnishing power, and il
was only Sharkey's superb vitality thai
kept him from defeat earlier in the
battle. Ruhlin used his right and left
with equal facility and made them both
count. He rather lacked in aggressive.
ness. He allowed Sharkey to make the
pace and, although he met him deter.
/ minedly enough when he came in, he
did no press all Of his advantages.
