MeIba's Popularity in London.

The recent appearance of Mime. Melba in festival and royal performances of op- era at Convent Garden, London, have created the same enthusiasm and excite- ment as in former years, and in this connection the following remarks of Max Eliot the noted London correspondent of the Boston Herald will be interesting to coneert-goers:
 'In England Melba is now the greatest star before the public, and on the nights on which she has sung this season at Covent Garden. Opera house it has been impossible to book any sort of seat at the last moment. Her vocal gifts are now the wonder of the most apathetic English audience and 1t Is many a day since l have heard any singer in England re- ceived with the warmth and enthusiasm that now greets the famous Australian prima donna whenever she is heard in either opera in London or on the concert platform.
 ''The opera season that is now drawing to close at Covent Garden, has been none too rich In prima donnas. Melba, of course, is not to be depended on to supply the nightly attraction at any opera house, however urgent may be the demand for her services. The greatest singer in the world is too wise in these days not to reserve her valuable forces, and Mime. Melba knows how brief after all, is the reign of great prima donna"

The Finish.


his course. The Cardiac Is slightly in the lead, but the race is young and Tepox feels no uneasiness. The pace is terrific. The ships blow their way through clouds of eosmic dust with a strange, whrring sound. The brilliant headlights gleam far out into space and the great whistles scream. Under ordinary conditions fric- tion would speedily reduce the vessels to glowing masses, but this danger is ob- viated by the vessels being constructed of tallium, metal not effected by heat or cold.
 The first hour is consumed and the two airships are still driving along side by side. Neither has a decided advantage. The Cardiac Is slightly In the lead, when Tepox executed an unexpected maneuver and brings his ship behind that of Topax, using the Polopheme as a shield against the cosmic dust. This position is un- changed at the end of the seventh hour. The moon is now distant nearly 200.00o miles, and the ships are on the home stretch. The Polopheme forges out and takes a position by the side of the flying Cardiac. The speed of the racers Is un- diminished and the finish promises to be exceedingly close.
 As Topax is bending anxiously over his stearing apparatus he is startled by a strange, rattlng sound coming from the walls of his vessel. Entrusting the helm to his assistant the driver makes a careful examination but can discover nothing wrong. The rattle continues, and he returns to the prov, half believing that it is caused by gas escaping from his air tanks.
 Far ahead looms up the dark surface of the moon, where the white band of lights shoots out Into space. That is the cov- eted goal and each driver is now bending every energy to reach 1t first. Headlights on the racers reveal their presence to spectators on the lunar world. The ex- citement become intense As a final out burst of speed is made Topax Is alarmed by the constantly increasing rattle within his ship. The sides begin to tremble and a remarkable change in the air supply sends a drowslr ess over the weary driver. Gazing out, he sees the Polopheme slow ly but surely forging head Suddenly the Cardiac seems to be crumbling to pieces beneath his feet Not one terrific shriel1 is granted before the sides of the vessel part and the two men drop straight to- ward the moon. The Polopheme enters the band of light just at the moment when her unfortunate rival goes to pieces and horrible din is raised on the plain when the disaster to the Cardiac Is real ized
 Well, the track record between the earth and the moon was clipped just thirty min- utes by the great performance of the Pol opheme and it is said that millions of dattos changed hands on the result. There was much rejoicing when the news reach ed Petrax by ether bulletin. When bets were being settled on the piazza a cer- tain round shouldered youth chuckled to himself and nudged a fiashly-dressed in- divdual standing near who had just com- pleted a deal for big pyrodium mine on the moon.

"PolIY Primrose"

Is the north ready 10 listen to the domestic side of the civil war story on the stage told from the southern view point? Is It ready to accept the confed- crate as a man as sincerely grounded in the rectitude of his cause as the Yankee? !? Those were the questions asked before Adelaide Thurston presented Paul Will stach's domestic comedy of forty years ago, Polly Primrose" It Is being given in the north and the steadfast purpose of the people on both sides Is applauded with equal rapture Polly Primrose her. self is southerner to the core and she had an alarming go with handsome Yale man from New York, each standing by his colors yallantly. Indeed Polly's pretty rebel grit often gets more ap- plause than her lovers Yankee pluck. Polly Primrose Is the first play of that period written with equal sympathy for both sides. and it is the first to treat the domestic side of the period without bat ties, guns swords or so much as a mill tary uniform or title.

Cost of Maintaining Racing Stable.


 From II. P. Manson, in The Illustrated
 Sporting News.
 Taking twenty horses as the basis, each racing stable employees ten men and ten boys. The former are the grooms and do the heavy work about the stable, while the boys walk and gallop the horses at exercise and do the lighter chores about the place. The boys range from twelve to twenty-one years of age, and weigh all the way from GO to 130 pounds. In all cases they are apprenticed for three years under the state laws. For the first year they receive S2 a month pocket money, and are clothed besides. and well clothed at that. The second year $10 month and the cost of their clothes deducted, and the third year $15 a month, under the same conditions SIS to their clothing as the sec ond year. The men and boys out or their apprenticeship are paid according to their individual merits, from $lO to S5V a month; a frst-class exercise hoy, who can ride under 115 pounds will have no difficulty in getting $3o a month, and as he is sure to be entrusted with the cracks of the stable during the season. he Will easily earn much more.
 These figures do not include the train er's salary or percentage of the winnings,  ey's retainer runs all the way from Sl'0oO to $i5O0O year, and in addition he is paid $10 for losing and s25 for winning mounts, and as much more as the owner Is willing to make him a present of, should 1t be for some very valuable stake. Then there are numerous incidentals The man and boy who have cared for and exercised a horse that has won a race receive as present $10 to the man. $5 to the boy IF 1t is a purse race, and double each or these amounts If it is a stake event. This to encourage care and attention to their work And if a great stake such as the Futurity Suburban or Great Eclipse Stakes is won. the liberal owner will hand over something to be divided among all the help in the employ of the stable.
 The trainer is allowed from S2 to per day for each horse trained, Is paid salary according to his standing in his calling Such men as Rogers, who trains for Mir Whitney; Rowe for MT. Keene,

No Parallel.

From the Sprinffed Republican.
 Pension Commissioner Wares annual re- port is uncommonly interesting, with It's statistics of pension expenditures on ae- count of all the republics wars. A country that has spent from funds raised by taxation the colossal sum of over s., 000, GOO GOO. within about 100 years, on is old soldiers cannot be charged with mig gardlness or lngratitude. That consider ably over S250O, 000,000 has been paid in pensions to veterans of the civil war de- serves to be specially noted The total estimated war expenditure by the govern ment during the civil war period was but a little over three billions. Thus 1t has cost nearly as much the past forty years to pay the pensions as it did to place and keep the Union armies in the field and the Union fleets on the seas for the puf- pose of suppressing the Confederacy. As a pension record there Is no parallel to this in all time.

What MeIba and Relane Received.

Just before the departure of Mesdames Rejane and Melba from London, they were present at an evening party given at a well known house in Piccadilly. Madame Melba appeared three times, be- ing probably quarter of an hour in her charming work. Madame Rejane took part in little comedy by Meilhac Halevy called Madame Attends Monster" This certainly did not exceed fifteen minutes in it's presentation. Yet each of these ladies received from the host a cheque for G300. The engagement was of course, a trfling incident in a days work. Madame Rejane came over Just before midnight from the theatre having completed performance. Madame Melba, having sung her part in the opera, drove over to Bath house in time for song and supper. It is probable that no two working women in the world took such a days pay as those two ladies drew on this particular day

The same perform ance Is repeated when his acquaintance of the evening before is encountered, save that this fellow hurried away more hasti- 1y and begins to lay heavy wagers on the Polopheme. The racers continue to circle swiftly about, their keen prows cleaving the air like the beak of a great bird. Cries of "a thousand dattos on the CardiacV twenty thousand on the Pol ophemel" "A pyrodium mine that Topax Is the winnerI" heard on all sides.
 Meanwhile there Is a scene of equal ac- tlvity on the moon. A vast plain has been chosen by the spectators. Here are gath cred many thousand from the earth and from Mars. Airships continue to arrive until the plain is black with their occu-

pants The Martians are much in evil dence. These superior people look on with a supercilious air and affect much dis dain at the efforts of the crude Englan- ians.
 As 1t was calculated that the impetus of the two racers would be too great for them to make a stop on the moon the management decided that the only solu- tion would be to have the ships skirt the lunar world at a distance of two miles, great pyrodium search light was fixed upon the peak of an extinct volcano. This threw binding band out into space at such an angle that the two airships would shoot through it at the finish and reveal to those watching below the result of the race According to estimates of the astronomers the last hour of the race would bring darkness to that side of the moon where the arc light was situated. Pyrodium lights were exceedingly power ful and were often used by Englanians in exploring space on board astronomical vessels.
 While waiting for the appearance of the racers the great crowds on the moon amused themselves by short excur- sions in the vicinity of the lunar world, and numbers attended fume banquets on the plain, where revelry was held in the light of volcanoes.
 All preparations on earth have been completed. The time for starting has now arrived. The Cardiac and the Pol opheme at distance of one mile apart jockeyed for position. A thunderous road of chemical guns gives the signal and they are off. The multitude shouts again and again as the percussion guns of the two racers are discharged almost sim ultaneously. The shriek of the great whistles as the racers shoot out into space almost drowns the pandemonium on earth. Tn an instant the Cardiac and the Polopheme have passed through the cloud belt. and are driving along through space at rate of nearly 100000 miles an hour. The great Englanian futurity has begun

The piece is a farce, but 1t has, so 1t is said, the merit of being funny. Perhaps in the end it might be difficult to analyze the cause of the amusement 1t creates, but as It's authors, Clarence Slmms and Theodore Northrup, created 1t for laughing purposes only, it is sufficient to know that you have had three hours of fun.
 Managers Ollie Mack and Joseph M. Gaites have surrounded MT. Simms with a company of merit, particular attention having been paid to the chorus.
