: BACK FORMATION.

Midlothian clubs have 200 acres or
more each. The Midlothian, for in
stance, spent $4,000 on a clubhouse
alone, while it has cost some of the
others 100000 to complete houses,
fences and fields. In three of these
grounds the water hazards are ma
lures work, but the Wheaton club
pumps water into an artificial pond.
There. are between thirty and thirty
five clubs in Chicago. Some of the
grounds are as far away as Wisconsin,
but they are supported by Chicago peo-
pie.
Now, no golf enthusiast can play
through a season for less than $3.50,
counting fares. fees to caddies and new
equipment for the field. There are in
dividuals who pay ten times as much
for the pleasures of the game One
man in Chicago, for instance, has 12S
drivers alone, with other clubs in pro-
portion. These 1913 drivers, at $3.50
each, represent 1920 l doubt if any
body who plays golf at all spends less
than $50 as the seasons legitimate ex-
penses.
An average golf player of moderate
means cannot equip himself for the
game under 500. The enthusiast NAV
spend $500 to s400 without being consid-
cred extravagant. Counting a possible
5000 golf players of all degrees in Chi
cago, it has been figured that they pay
out not far from $45O,OO0 a year for the
game
With many of these players railroad
fares are necessary and form a consid-
cradle portion of the expense. Care OF
club grounds and the fees of the cad
dies are items of expense that are
heavy in the aggregate. Club dues and
clubhouse bills are in proportion, so
that golf suit and a selection of golf
clubs are only beginning of the game.
From the first peep of green in the
spring until the first or even the sec
ond, snow the Chicago golf enthusiast
finds an open season for the game 1t
may cost the city thousands of dollars
annually, but every golf player is con-
fident that he has his moneys worth
when the snow and cold at last put an
end to putting and to the job of the
caddie

1rvings charming colleague, Miss
Terry is freer from the oddities that
make him so unique, but she has been
pronounced equally versatile, and there
is curious parallelism in their domes-
tic experience. For instance, while
many might assume her to be a spin
ster from her stage title, she is known
at home as Mrs. Wardell and is, in fact,
not only married, but a grandmother to
boot. In fact, she has had a varied
marital experience in the fifty-three
years of her eventful life. Her first
husband was the since famous artist
Watts who was very much older than
herself and whom she soon found so
uncongenial that they separated. Her
latest husband, Mr.. Wardell, was
known on the stage as Kelly, but did
not succeed in giving his sobriquet
worldwide celebrity.
Taking to the stage at an early age,
Ellen Alice Terry first found fame when
she joined the Irving company in 1878.
She has been with Mr.. Irving ever
since and that her name for the past
thirty-three years has been indissolu-
bly, linked with his in great histrionic
achievements it is scarcely necessary to
say.
Her first stage "reminiscences relates
to the time when she met with an acct
dent. When she was a little girl about
eleven years of age. she belonged to
Mrs. Charles Kean's company She
was one evening acting Puck in "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" and had to
come up through the stage on a trap
door standing on a mushroom.
The trapdoor was shut too soon, and
one of her feet was caught. She
screamed with pain. and her sister
Kate then acting Titania. ran to her

he first saw the light in 1888. His par
ents were poor, and after the death of
his father he was brought up in the
family of his Aunt Pemberthy, received
a scanty education in London and at
the age of fourteen was apprenticed to
a merchant. He entered the dramatic
profession in 1856, but did not change
his name until 1887, when he received
permission to do so by royal letters pat
ent. He first played in London in 1859,
but was such a dismal failure that he
returned to the provinces" and prac-
ticed upon the country folk for seven
years When he revisited the metropo-
lis, he achieved a decided triumph.
What he has done since is known of
all who are enamored of the theater
and need not be mentioned here, but it
is evident from this brief allusion to his
early career that the advance to his
present standing was not an uninter-
rupted triumphal march.
As to Sir Henry's physical infirmities,
particularly the noted Irving limp"
the fact that the subject of them has
not only overcome but rather made
beauty spots of these blemishes speaks
well for his courage and persistence I'M
der adverse circumstances Abiding to
critic says: "A greater shock to my
feelings than pigeontoed tragedian
could not be imagined. Sir Henry does
not toe in badly, to be sure-that is. he
is not obliged to step high and prance
to avoid kicking himself in the foot
but the limp is very distinct"
A critic has noted as a paradox that
an actor who is deficient in one of the
fundamental principles of acting should
remain in the applause of critics and
theater goers, be knighted by his SOW
ereign and universally recognized as
the greatest player of his day, go as
there are times in his performances
when he might as well translate the
fount of English undefled' into Chloe
taw so far as conference of sound and
syllable is concerned
Another, a friendly critic, has admit
ted that "Irving's chief lack in tragedy
is dynamic force; that nature did not
endow him with strong vocal resources.
Yet he has produced superb effects in
tragedy, and in Shylock which is, prop
erly considered, a tragic role, he fails
only in his great scene with Tubal.
where his resort to suppressed emotion
is too obvious a trick But those per-
sonal peculiarities which are called his
'mannerisms' and which are most dis
tasteful to the commonest and crudest
minds seem to exactly fit that picture
which he is portraying" So there it is.
His eceepfrieities and mannerisms are
turned into jewels to adorn his crown
and aresGted as adding to his forcefuI
acting.

ENORMOUS COST OF A
GOLF CLUBS EQUIPMENT.

According to H. ]. Tweedle, an au.
thority on golf in Chicago, the thirty or
more golf clubs supported by the city
represent an investment of $1,O0O,OOO in
grounds, While the cost each year to
club members is something almost past
guessing at. One million dollars is a
low estimate Oh golf grounds said Mr..
Tweedle. Some clubs own the land,
while others lease it, but in any case
the grounds have to be prepared, sod
ded, bunkered and perhaps provided
with water hazards.
A good golf ground needs at least 200
acres. Two hundred acres of good
grounds in easy reach of Chicago would
cost 5000 an acre for the land alone.
Several clubs are as large as this. The

winter in the opinion of members of the
organization and of thousands of spec
tators capped the climax.
The 1902 exhibition is confidently ex-
pected to excel that of 1901. The pres
ent plan contemplates a show complete
and picturesque in every detail. Sports
men will imagine themselves back in
their beloved forest haunts, where
snorting, antlered moose, large eyed
fleet footed deer and whirring and
whanging cartridges hold sway; where
bowlder bottomed, moss embarked

out, sounding the sweetest music in the

him away from thoughts of time and
tribulation.
One Of the attractive features will be
a fly casting contest by adopts in the
art. This event will doubtless attract
hundreds of votaries of the rod and

be mastered only by persevering effort
Many an inexperienced angler h1s, to
his extreme discontinue, found this to
be but too true. Rifle and revolver
shooting matches will also be features
of the show.
The belief that automobile speed COM
petitors and time trials are soon to en-
joy considerable vogue on the race
tracks of this country has brought
about the agitation of a scheme to
form national association to govern
the sport. Realizing the Importance of
such movement, the Automobile Club
of America has taken steps to forward
the interests of the suggested fedora
ton. A committee has been appointed
to negotiate with the important clubs
of the United States for the purpose of
coming to a definite understanding.
The Automobile Club of America, it is
understood, will be the ruling factor in
the association.
An organization of that description is
Just what automobiling requires to de-
velop the pastime and maintain it on
broad, national lines. 1t will then be
possible to enforce regulations, and the
auto busters combined will be in a po-
sition to demand legislation on behalf
of their sport.
It is now an established fact that the
Olympian games of 1904 will be held in
Chicago. The committee in charge of
the preparations is already deep in it's
voluntary task.
A new feature designed to add inter-
est to the contests is a museum of ath-
letic apparatus, arranged so as to show
chronologically the improvement in the
paraphernalia of all branches of sport.
The congress of the Olympian COM
mittees of all countries will be held next
spring in Brussels. The Importance of
the gathering has been enhanced by the
announcement that King Leopold of
Belgium will preside.
The following have been appointed a
committee on finance for the games:
H. N. Higinbotham, ex-president of
the Worlds Columbian exposition;
James H. Eckels, ex-comptroller of the
currency; Orson Y. Smith. Clarence

LIVELY DOMESTIC TRAGEDY
FRED KNUDsoN ARRESTED FOR
DISTURBING HIS WIFE.
Couple Had Separated and MIS-.
Knudson Had Commenced Divorce
Proceedings.

a domestic tragedy of unusually
lively character was precipitated in a
west side family yesterday afternoon,
requiring the intervention of the police
and the ultimate arrest Of the husband
to quiet the disturbance. It is the story
of an alleged desertiOn, divorce pro-
ceedings, the return of the husband,
who broke into his own house, a great
excitement and a scene between hus-
band and wife resulting in the call for
the police.
The man and woman are Mr.. and
Mrs Fred KnudsOn, the latter living
in Carriers terrace. The woman al
leges that her husband deserted her
several months ago, has been cruel to
her and declares that ne threatened the
life of herself and her little girl on
numerous occasions. She said that a
few days ago she commenced divorce
proceedings against him and that yes
terday he came TO the house and
forced his way in through the rear
window, after trying to force the doors.
She became frightened, grabbing her
child ran TO neighbOr. the whole
neighbOrhOod was soon in a fever of
excitement and 4 call came to the pO-
lice saying that a crazy man was
breaking in the house.
When the police arrived they found
KnUdSOn sitting quietly in the house
and as they had no warrant for him
he was left there The woman told
them that she had to work hard and
that he kept her in fear all the time
by his threats.
KnudsOn said that he had not threat
ened his wife and had not broken into
the house. but had only come down
from Montana, where he was working
on a railroad, to attend the divorce
proceedings, which he declared were
illegal. He made the most serious ac-
cUsatiOns against his wife and said that
he wanted a divorce, but he wanted it
legal He charged that her proceed
ingS were illegal because she had not
been in the state a year.
