NOTES OF THE STAGE.

The plays which are fixtures for the summer

them more attractive. AS a rule, the shows

the Majestic: '"rhe Prince of Pusen.' at the
Broadway; The Runaways," at the Casino, and
The Earl of Pawtucket,'' at the Manhattan, are
even stronger than they were earlier in their
careers.
The Earl OF Pawtucket," of the most
successful comedies that have ever appeared in
York, is now approaching its two hun

leading female role, that of Harriet FOrdyce,

Skipper was led into a big ring be-

shouted III a number and began to
talk very fast. Skipper gathered that
he was talking about him. Skipper
learned that he was still only six years
old and that he had been owned as a
saddle horse by a lady who was about
to sail for Europe and was closing out
her stable. This was news to Skipper.
The nan talked very nicely about
Skipper. He said he was kind, gentle,
sound in wind and limb and was not
only trained TO the saddle. but would
work either single or double. The man
wanted to know how much the gentle
men were willing to pay for a bay
