The coming OF Sporting Life" 70 the
National Theatre next week is perhaps
the most important event Of the theatri.
cal season yet announced. The play
properly comes under the head OF
noteworthy affairs because of its aston.
ishing scenic establishment, il Tor no
other reason. There are five acts and
sixteen scenes, each of which is declared
to be OF greater magnitude and artistic
beauty than those of any other produc.
tiou in the history of our stage, Two or
three scenes Of more than ordinary
attractivenesS are usually considered
sufficient to form the basis of extraVagant
announcements Of the grandeur of a
production, so it is not strange that the
management Of "Sporting Life" with
uncommonly large numbers OF pictures
should claim for it supremacy over
anything ever done IN this country The
nature ofthe scenes reproduced requires
great canvasses and massive settings.
A training stable, iull Of race horses;
an Immense exhibition ground; The
Ear's Court Exhibition in London; the
interior Of the National Sporting Club
in London and the EDson Downs race
course on Derby Day are some OF the
principal scenes, and in preparing these
nea'lY every noted scenic artist in New
York took a hand. "SportinR Life"
was written by Cecil Raleigh aud
Seymour Hicks, authors OF "The Sport.
ing Duchess" and other we'll knOwN
melOdramas. The play tells a never
tagging story and contains a great
number of thrilling dramatic situations
and sensational climaxes. There IS a
genuine glove contest as we'll as a real
horse race incident to the plot, and the
manner IN which they are conducted
arouses Tbe audience to great pitch Of
enthusiasm. The company numbers
more than 200 and the chief roles are all
in theihands oi most capable play ers.
Noteworthy players to be seen in the
cast are Elita Proctor Otis, Joseph

VICTORIA, b. c., June ~. - The
Shanghai Mercury says a member of the
Boxers society who saw the murder of
Rev. Mr.. Ellis of the London mission
and of Chinese missionary at Kung
Tsun gave the following account of the
tragedy:
ION the 10Th day of the fourth moon
the Boxers, numbering 81, crossed the
river Tsz-Tsun and met the two mission
aries in "A boat They knew the Chinese
was a Christian and at once attacked
him, wounding him with their swords.
Then they dragged him out of the boat
and tied him to a tree at the riverside.
Then Mr.. Ellis was tied with him. and
Mr.. Chao. another Chinese missionary,
was bound. His toes and thumbs We're
bound together, and he was carried to Il
tree near where the others We're hung
up. The arms of the missionaries We're
cut off, their heads hewn off, and after
the bodies had been disembowelcd they
were cast into the river. The chapel Of
the mission was demolished, and the
crowd went on its way"
