some one capable of filling our place and the machinery of this great work shop will not close down for the ab- sence of a foreman. Signs and depre- cations were changed to smiles of glad ness when it was heard that a suc- cessor had been found for the position held by Maurice Grau, and in the heart of Heinrich Conried the music of real ized ambition was playing so sweetIy as to almost deafen him.
 The life story of the new manager of the Metropolitan Opera House is a tale of lowly beginning and of. hard work crowned with success. Of humble Si- lesian percentage, Heinrich Conried was destined by his father to be a weaver. This he resented, and when his first per- feet or master work was completed he was given his freedom, virtually to do as he pleased in the world. With out cent of assistance from his reIa- lives, he fought against terrible depri- yations, often going without a meal be- cause of lack of money. His brave spirit ever saw ahead the theater, and the hope of being an actor some day spurred him on. Tn Vienna he obtained 8 place for trif1ing salary but it kept body and soul together, and when he showed so much pluck his brothers helped him to lucrative position. The secret of his life has been to do all he had to do to the best of his ability, to slight nothing Foerster, stage man ager of the Burg theater, gave him les sons during morning walks, and when at last he was offered stage trial he was the lucky one of forty-two appli- cants. To fill the place and attend re- hearsals he was forced to give up his business. For time he was without money and hungry. The good friend who tutored him discovered this and again helped him. His work as an &C., tor soon gave him reputation, and the days of slow Starva tion were past In a few years Conrfed was very sue cessful actor and toured Austria and Germany. Tn 1877 he came to New York and has won both fame and wealth as actor and manager in Amer ica. The Irving Place theater here, in which plays are given in German only has been under his management for about ten years. He has also made a great deal of money from the manufac- ture of steamer chairs. Among his packers in theatrical enterprises are George Gould and Jacob H. Schiff.

roles which shed more luster on her ar tistic ability than that of Mary. The same role in less capable hands would at once show why it needed Mrs. Fiske. Now this ambitious woman is preparing a treat for New York for the season of 1904-05. It is no less than a stupendous production of Macbeth and another of Much. Ado About Nothing.'' In these plays Mrs. Fiske will, of course. play Lady Macbeth and Olivia and thus give theater goers a chance to criticise her versatility. Though she has never seen Macbeth played, she feels satisfied that she can master the difficult character.
 Mrs. Fiske, now on tour with her pro- duction of Mary of Magdala,'' returns next fall to the Manhattan for five weeks in her present role, which has proved such an enormous success as to warrant this move. Then we will not see her for a year, but she will tour the country for the whole season in Mary of Magdala,'' visiting all the large cit ies of America.

THE HEADING slREs.

The present leading sires of the coun- try present a brilliant array. All who sired five or more 2:3O performers last year number forty-one, which is two less than 1901. There were forty-four in 1900 and thirty-one in 1899, while 1898 showed thirty.
 The honors of champion sire" of 1902 are divided, Axtell, 2:12, and Gambetta. Wilkes, 2:19M, each having sixteen to their credit. While in 1901 Ashland Wilkes, 2:17A, led all with twenty, this good sire from Reading, Pa, stands in third place the past season with fifteen. Wilton, 2:19A, is fourth, with thirteen; Onward, 2:25A, is fifth, with twelve, while Chimes and Prodigal, 2:16, tie for sixth place, with ten each.
 The past season shows seven sires credited with ten or more new 2:3O per- formers, which is exactly the same as the previous year. Axte1l and Ashland Wilkes are the only ones that figure in that division of both tables. As al- ready noted, Ashland Wilkes led in 1901 with twenty Ia showing no sire has equaled the past season), while Axtell was second, with thirteen
 Of the sires of new 2:20 performers Mckinney, 2:11A, leads with nine. The year before Direct, 2:05k. led with ten. Gambetfa Wilkes, 2:19A, has the most 2:15 mers-five-exactly the same number Brown FaL 2:121s, led with the year before. Of the forty-one sires all but eight have standard records, while one of these, Chimes, has a mark of 2:30A. No less than twenty-seven of the number have records of 2:20 or bet ter, fifteen are in the 2:15 list and six are in the 2:10 list. Among these are Direct, 2:05k, former champion light harness performer of the world; Direc- tum, 2:05A, former champion sire; Kremlin, 2:07A; Allerton, 2:09A, and Axtell, PIP, all ex-champion trotting

Western Dates Clash.

The programme for both leagues out- lined by their recent meetings and the convention of the joint committee at Chicago is as satisfactory as could be arranged when the diversity and mag nitude of the interests concerned are taken into consideration. The only marked clashes of playing dates occur in the western halves of the circuits, and these have been made as few in number as possible.

This was Joe, sailor, in a piece by Dion Boucicault called Ellie, produced at the Gaiety theater in De- cember, 1871. The character, admira- bly, represented by the actor, was sup- posed to be blind.

MASTER CREME, THE
 FAMOUS PRIZE POODLE.

The black corded poodle is not very often seen in this country. Like his brother, the black, curly coated poodle, the corded dog is probably a native of France, where these breeds are widely popular. One of the best specimens of the black corded poodle ever shown in America is Master Crewe, the property of Miss Ruth Lawrence of New York city. Miss Lawrence has exhibited Master Crewe in a score of cities, and he has never failed to capture a prize.

This new feature of the aquatic season should become as important to this country as the Henley is to Brit ain. Practically all the we'll known rowing clubs and colleges are to be represented, and great interest attaches to the event for graduate eights. This event should attract many of the fa- nous oarsmen of years past and will surely result in an increase of the pop- ularity of rowing everywhere.

 The compromise between the major leagues was the best thing that possi- bly, could have been done toward re- establishing baseball on a basis equal to that which it has occupied in the past.
