PASSION PLAY OF oBERAMMERGAu.
Enormous Attendance Mt the Opening
Performance Yesterday.


A dispatch from Oberammergau yester-
day says: The initial performance of the
Passion Play" following the grand
hearsal of Sunday. took place today. The
attendance enormous. despite the fact
that the day was unfavorable. The repre-
sentation, as a whole, according to the
opinion of competent judges, surpasses that
of 1890. Herr Joseph Mayer. who recited
the prologue. was. as on previous occasions.
a majestic figure Herr Anton Lang. as
Christ, was excellent, although somewhat
nervous. During the Bethany scene a
weird effect was produced by the sun break
ing suddenly from the clouds and casting
brilliant beam Christ's robe.
Fraulein Anna Flunger. the Mary of the
representation, has a fine, well-rounded
face, and is a good actress. but she lacks
the pathos that Rosa Lang was wont to
display. The player now taking the part
of Judas. Johann Twink, is very fine, vast
improvement upon his predecessor in the
role. On the other hand. Thomas Rendt.
the Peter of the cast, scarcely equals
Hetts portrayal. Fraulein Bertha Wolff,
as Mary Magdalene. is striking in appear
ance. and made a profound impression. Sc
bastian Lang. as Caiaphas. realized the
ideal impersonation of that relentless priest.
Fraulein Matilda Ruiz, the soprano, was
greatly admired. and young Boold shows
decided promise.
During the afternoon performance Herr
Anton Lang was repeatedly overcome by
nervousness. but he went through tho
crucffixion scene with perfect self-posses-
sion. The scenic effects throughout were
beautiful.

and Mrs. Louis Tflge of Philadelphia. Mr..

JeGrie. and sharkey to Fight.

Articles of agreement were signed last
night in New York by James J. Jeffries and
Thomas Sharkey. calling for a twenty-five
round bout for the championship of the
world to take place on or before August
p before the club offering the largest
financial inducement. Before the articles
were signed Tom O'Rourke, representing
Sharkey, and William A Brady, appearing
for Jeffries, met at the Delevan House and
arranged the conditions to govern the bat
tie. 1t was agreed that the men should
fight with one hand free and to protect
themselves in the breakaways. They can
hit in clinches until ordered to break by
the referee. Neither man will be per-
mitted to wear bandages on his hands dur
ing the fight. Each principal will post

panied by forfeit of 5000.
William A. Brady named Charley White
as his choice of referee of the bout.
O'Rourk said that White would suit him,
but before agreeing on the New Yorker he
desired first to consult Sharkey. If Sharkey
is agreeable White will ofiiciate.
Should Mccoy defeat Sharkey in their
contest on June %, Mccoy will take the
sailors place against Jeffries in August.
Regardless of the battle between Jeffries
and Sharkey. the champion has agreed to
box Gus Rubin six rounds in Chicago in

ONLY A REPRIMAND.
Capt. Chadwick Will Not he Tried
for CrittcisfnE SchIey.

NEW YORK, May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long will formally repri-
mand Capt. Chadwick for his recent crit
icisms of Rear Admiral w. s. Schley.
This will probably be the extent of the
departments action. Capt. Chadwicks
excellent record and the frankness with
which he acknowledges the offense, while
at the same time disclaimng RESPONSE
bility for 1t. have favorably impressed
the department.
Friends of Rear Admiral Schley desire
that Capt. Chadwick be court martialed
especially as he has told the department
that the interview in which he was
quoted as criticising the rear admiral
was correct.
Capt Chadwick admitted that he had
criticised Rear Admiral Schley but said
the statements he had made expressed
his personal views, and he had no in
tention of making them public through
the press. He charges that a breach of
faith was committed when he was quot
ed.
Secretary Long looks upon the Chad
wick matter as similar in some respects
to the case of Capt Coghlan, who was
reprimanded for his criticism OF the
German emperor. Many officers, how
ever. point out that the department ac-
cused Rear Admiral Schley OF reprehen-
sihle conduct In a communication to con-
Eress, and as Capt. Chadwick substan-
TALLY reiterated this statement I'm a
personal conversation they do not see
how he can be severely punished.
