 The cast of Monsieur Beaucaire" as a whole is excellent, though there are a few decidedly weak spots. The most notable of these is Miss Lettice Fairfax, the leading woman. She is an English beauty who had some previous Amer ican experience in the company, I think, of the late Augustin Daily. She is alto gether insipid and unequal to the stron- ger demands of her part MT. Mansfield was particularly happy in the titular role. His French dialect was perfect, and if he will but control his tendency to throw himself about in the effort to appear debonair his impersonation of Monsieur Beaucaire will be fit to take rank with his Beau Brummel. Mans field also offends greatly by his mania for uppercutting the atmosphere, but as he has been doing that ever since he became sufficiently great to be entitled to claim as his own some ''eccentricity

cois villon, Mansfield moved down everything in sight, and Dalton does the same and leaves the ground strewn with his victims until, in the last act. when the captain of the guards man ages to get his sword from him. Then we heave a sigh of relief, for some times it is interesting to have to in wardly wonder, Now, what is he going to do?'' for we know that as the hero he must be victorious in the end. This is melodramatic, but-whisper it softly wa all like a little of it.

F" HE basket ball season, which Is
 # now at it's height, will prob
 # ably continue at an enthusias-
 M tic pitch until April. Prac-
 tically every city in the coun-
 try has teams now competing in regularly scheduled games, and the public evinces great interest in them.
 The rise of basket ball into popularity has been the most striking feature of indoor sport during the last four or five years. The game has much to com mend it to the attention and patronage of exercise loving individuals of both sexes, and because of this it has super seded all other rivals.
 As a college pastime basket ball is also a prime favorite. Princeton, Har- ward, Yale, Cornell and Columbia have thoroughly representative teams, and it is reasonable to predict that in few years the annual intercollegiate strug- gles on the gymnasium floors will at tract as much attention as affairs of gridiron and diamond.

EXPERIMENTATION Of MT. Tarking- tons charming novel, Monsieur Beau caire.''
 The story of the manner in which Monsieur Beaucaire" found it's way to the stage is almost as interesting as the play itself Some years ago Booth Harrington wrote a comedy which he called ''Beaucaire-" He was unable to dispose of it and in time decided to con- vert it into a story. This was done. and ths book found a ready publisher. Its success was unique if not exactly phe- nomenal, for the book was little more than a novelette, containing not more than +, 900 words. Richard Mansfeld's S attention was attracted to it, and when he found that the stage rights were in the market he lost no time in securing

ffMousfeur Beaueaire" as a Play.
 It would be as wide of the mark to call Monsieur BeaucaiFe' a great play as it would be to call it a poor one- As an example of dramatic construction 1t is wanting; as a vehicle for affording MT Mansfield a role to which he may do ample justice it is unqualifiedly sue cessful It is also an extremely enter fafnfng comedy-so entertaining, in deed. that any but the most critical mind is apt to lose sight of the oft re- curing looseness of construction It contains a large number of as bright lines as have been heard on the New York stage within the decade. The strong point of MT. Tarkington's humor, moreover, is that it is evolved, or. rath- CT. evolves itself. from the existent sit uations- Despite it's occasional lack of cohesion, Monsieur Beaucaire" holds fhe auditor from the rise of the curtain on the first act to its fall at the close of the play This is due doubtless to the fact that it would be difficult to make a transference of this story to the stage without preserving to great ex- tent the fascination of the novel At any rate there are no bored auditors at the Herald Square theater now, and 1t Is not likely that there will be any

Dog Coursing.
DUS the interesting and significant


 features of sporting circles at the pres- .ent time is the revival and develop nent of dog coursing. The racing of specially bred and specially trained dogs is an attractive and stirring paS- time. A few years ago Americans were enthusiastic patrons of the diversion, and various. racing courses proved prof. itable to their owners. For some req son. however, the fleet footed dogs drop ped from a pinacle Of prominence, and not until recently did prospects for loom assume definite form.
 Whippets are the fayorite dogs for short distance speeding. The steel mus cled and game but nervous little crea- lures cover the ground in marvelously rapid fashion, fighting fiercely for ev- cry inch ofsthe course like thorough bred race horse. Indeed, a whippet of good blood has every bit as much of that undefinable something termed spirit as has the champion of some great equine racing stable.
 Professional as we'll as amateur breeders are taking advantage of the rise in popularity Of whippet stock and are obtaining control of all available dogs Several well appointed courses are to be constructed near certain of the large cities, and all indications point to the establishment of the rec reation on flourishing basis.
 Whippet racing originated in Eng- land, where the sport is tremendously popular. .Englishmen first introduced the sensitive, restless canines on this side of the water. Whippets are usu- ally run in pairs. The courses average length of 200 yards, and the dogs sometimes cover the distance in twelve seconds.

Two violin selections, one by Miss

COPPER TRADE LOOKING
FOR CABLE CONTRACT
II Is Estimated That Four Million
Pounds viii Be Needed for the
Philippine Line.

NEW YORK. Nov 15.-It was learn
ed yesterday that the copper trade in
general is now figuring Spon the con-
tract that is expected to result from
the projected laying of cable TO the
Philippines. II is estimated that the
cable will be about 1000 miles long.
Submarine cables contain from sew
enty-flye to $50 pounds of copper 70
the mile. and the Philippine cable will
probably run from 450 70 $50 pounds.
That would mean. roughly. 4,000,o 600
pounds OF copper.
Statistics as 10 the copper trade sit
aation in October were given out by
John Stanton. the copper ststistician,
today. The production in 1900 was
about COS. 600. 900 pounds. and the
consumption was Ss5.0o0.000 pounds,

year 1900 was an OF year on account

undoubtedly be the largest on record,
probably 20 per cent larger than IN

nothing will give rest but the assur
ance of Gods presence. The dark river
must be crossed; the last enemy must
be met. Like Hezekiah we shall gath
err u feet up into the bed, and turn

thou shall go over dry-shod into the

rod and thy staff they comfort me-"
AS for me, | have no fears of death, I
