SEASON At GRAND CLOSED
Crusade on Theatres Did Not
Effect the Attendance, Says
Manager Baylis.
MANY FIRST CLASS PLAYS
Manager Baylis Stated Last Night
That the Season just Ended
Was One of the Most Sue
cessful He Has Had
Thus Far.
MANY FIRST CLASS PLAYS

Notwithstanding the several crusades
which have been made on theatres DUR
ing the past four or five months, the
season at the Grand Opera House, which
closed Saturday night, was one of the
most successful IN the history of the
theatre.
1t was shown during the greater part
Of the season that instead of the patron
age for first class attractions decreasing
it is increasing.
The season closed with the Sawtelle
Dramatic Company, which was there all
nf last week and played to crowded
houses at every performance.
Jesse X Baylis, manager Of the Opera
House, as a special attraction for the
closing week gave bicycle sway at each
performance.
The su cess If the season can be largely
attributed to Manager Bayis' desire to
please the public and the fact that he
books no attractions but those that any
man, woman or child can go and see
without fearing to be shocked or EN-"
barassed.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the
business and is we'll liked and highly es-
teemed throughout the city. he was
seen last night at his home by a repre-
sentative of THE Sun and stated that the
past season was one OF the most success
ful he has ever had. He said it started
out fairly good but the people seemed a
little Indifferent at first, to first class
attractions.
The lack of interest in the first class
shows, however, only lasted a short time
and during the remainder of the season
all of the shows were largely attended.
On being asked ii the crusade on the
theatre had any effect on the attendance,
he replied that owing to public senti-
ment being go strong against the play
''Sapho" it was Cancelled, but besides
that he thought it had no effect whatever
on the attendance.
Among the numerous first class al
fractions which appeared during the sea-
son were: Chas. Frohman's plays, "Under
the Red Robe" and "The Cuckoo" James
O'Neil in "The Musketeers," "The Little
Minister" Children cf the Ghetto;"
Mrs. LeMoynes play "The Greatest
Thing in the World;" "Way DowR
East "Heart of Maryland" Boston,
ians, "The Highwayman," 'His Excel
lency the Governor" in which appeared
Miss Ethel Barrymore, who has attracted
so much attention OF late.
As suon as the school commencemente
are over the Opera House will be reno
waited, new scenery added all the old
scenery fixed up and refurnished. Mr..
Baylis desires to thank the people OF
Wilmington and is very grateful for their
excellent patronage during the season.

JEFFRIES is WILLING.
He Offers to Fight Corbett Again
or Fitzsimmons, Sharkey, Mccoy,
Rubin or Any HEAVYWEIGHT.

Champion Jim Jeffries umpired the
game between the Athletic and Jersey
City teams at the Philadelphia ball park
Saturday afternoon in the presence of
about $500 persons.
He was given great welcome when
he made his appearance on the field, and
there were no signs of his contest with
Corbett. His decisions were prompt and
decisive and perfectly satisfactory to both
teams.
The game was close and exciting, but
devoid of any sensational features, the
Athletics winning out by the score of 5
to 4.
The champion looked we'll. He did
not show any mark as result of the
many let's that reached his face ard
head. His nose was aslittle scrapsd from
coming in contact with Corbett's body,
but otherwise the pugilistic son OF the
Golden Gate showed no signs of his great
encour ter.
The clever showing made by Jim Cor
bett at Coney Island on Friday night
against Jeffries in an effort to regain his
lost laurels was the talk of New York
Saturday. Corbett came to New York
Saturday morning and went directly to
his cafe.
III speaking of the bout Corbett said:
81 was outpointing Jeffries up to the
time | was knocked out. I-don't know
how ii happened. Whea came up for
the twenty third round felt as strong
and active as at the beginning, but in
tended TO take matters easy until the
final two rounds. Then | would cut
loose and finish jeff, or at least get the
decision.
"My left knuckle was split on Jeffries'
head in the twelfth round, and | was
afraid to take any chances. II knew,
however, that it would stand two fast
rounds, and waited, but the opportunity
never came.
"It was great luck for the champion.
still believe that can defeat Jeffries OF
any other fighter, and would like return
match with the champion"
Jeffries said in an interview that Cor
bett gave him the hardest battle of his
| career.
s'I expected to win sooner" said jeff
'but it was not qestion of time with
| me; 1t was question of results. Wher
| | saw that Corbett was in such grea
shape waited for the opportunity. Il
came in the twelty-third round, and al
| have to say is that | was prepared tt
take advantage of it," 81 am open tt
meet all comers. If Corbett want
another go he will be Accommodated. Tht
same offer is open to Fitzsimmons
Sharkey, Mccoy, Rubin or any othe
heavy weight"
From a financial standpoint the fgh
was not such big success as the Jeffries
Sharkey bout. Only $32, 800 was taken in
The fighters received sixty per cent o
this amount of which seventy-fve pc
cent went to the winner aud twenty-five
per cent to the loser. Jeffries' share wa
$l4,250, while Corbett received S4,750
Corbett does not think that he was treat
ed fair in the division of the receipts. H
thinks he was entitled to 90 per cent .
