grown from tens to- hundreds and
these i'll turn quickly swelled to
thousands until the street was
completely ilocked with mass
of humanity. 1t was at this
jnncture that some one raised the
cry of Lynch him !" like a flash
the cry was taken up aud the
whole crowd, as if lgnited by the
single match thus applied, raised
the cry,
LYNCH HIM - .sHANG HIM -,
Closer the crowd surged forward
Denser the throng became as new
arrivals swelled each moment the
swaying multitude. The situation
was becoming critical when sud
denly the big doors were flung
open and a squad of reserves ar
rived with solid front, drove the
crowd back from the curb, then
across the street and then gradual
ly succeeded in dispensing them
from about the entrance to the
station.
BY this time there was so, :
600 people assembled in the vlcini-
ty of Pearl, Seneca, Erie streets
and the terrace. The crowd was so
great tat it became necessary to
rope off the entire street in front
of police headquarters and at Il
late hour tonight the police were
still patrol!ing IN the streets in
the neighborhood in squads of
three or four.

as a Splinter, combined with his hardl.
hood and endurance In long distance
races. renders him a bad man under all

The strongest feature OF Jacquelln's
riding Is his ability TO squirt at the fin

during the early part OF the race. He
has never been excelled In this. Tom

not infrequenty into ridicule, So, after
all, the 30 or 40 or so or 80 cents line
that the advertising cost was not vast

no matter how farfetohed 1t may be-
and that was good Joke.
Funny as that was, however. there
came time when its humor palled
Something new must be had. for Mr.
Frohman must make the public believe
that he is doing for 1t more than any
other manager could or would do So
recently he advertised q revival OF "Di-
plomacy" with an 'all star cast. 'Dl-
plomacy" Is very old Sardou play,
melodramatic, theatric and impossible,
but entertaining withal. There could
be no possible excuse for its revival
unless that event were to be accom-
plished through the medium OF an In
terpretlng company OF exceptional
strength Mr.. Frohman evidently real
ICED this, hence his "all star" cast.
Now, II must be understood that an
"all star" cast Is not what Il used to be.
II is true that ignorant persons of the
old school, when they see a production
advertised with an ''al star" cast, stu.
pldly jump to the conclusion that prac-
tcally all Of the players engaged are
or have been stars OF some Importance.
But that is where they are wrong. I'M
der modern methods that which makes
an ''all star cast is the dictum Of the
manager. II he permits his forthcom-
Ing production to be announced as with
an "all star" cast, It is an "all star"
cast.
Why?
Because 1t is. Hasn't he admitted
that II is2
Even Mr.. Frohman, however. must
have seen the absurdity OF this desig-

BONING IN CHICAGO,
New York.

There Is some talk OF more boxing
bouts in Chicago, and the patrons Of the
game there have begun TO realize that
six round affairs are very unsatisfac-
tory.
While contests OF six rounds duration
would be welcomed, there is a general
desire to see the bouts heightened, II
such a departure meets with the ap-
proval of the powers that be.
II is pointed out that a six round
bout calls for little or no training, and,
moreover, that the majority OF contests
just about reach the exciting stage
when six rounds have been boxed
Another thing, the six round clatter
gives the pugillstic Splinter a decided
advantage over the fellow who has
plenty Of stamina, but dearth Of speed.
For these reasons and others II is to be
hoped that II the boxing game gains a
foothold once more bouts Of eight or
ten rounds will be countenanced.
