SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-In the
presence OF the largest crowd OF the
season Claude at to won the Cali.
fornia Derby at Ingleside, with Gold
Van second and Epicure third. To a
good start Durazzo and Epicure went
out in front. The order was not
changed to any extent until shortly be-
fore the head Of the stretch was
reached. There Claude moved up and,
passing Epicure, assumed the lead and
won handily from Gold Van. Epicure,
affected by the early pace, tired badly
when the pinch came. The event was
worth $3,400, OF which $500 went to
the winner. The mile race aroused
more enthusiasm than the Derby, Ken
ilworth winning by neck from Gu
nard. The race was run In 1:41.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
People have come to look with as
surance of certainty for good things
ar the JACQUES, and 1t Is not strange
that the large audiences yesterday at
ternoon and evening found their expec-
tations again realized. 1t Is, indeed,
a capital show that had its first per-
formances, and 1t Is one that delighted
every person in the two large audi
ences The principal act, comedy
sketch offered by Kathryn Osterman
and Edwin Boeing under the name Of
1.-THE Editor" Is excruciatingly funny.
1t shows In an absurdly humorous
way the troubles that fall to news
paper mans lot, although few Of the
things that give q brighter side to the
trade are likewise interviewer. 1t Is
very funny, and Miss Osterman and
Mr. Boeing play 1t in way to bring
out all the fun of the thing. II. FL.
Hodge and Lille Hall have a very
amusing sketch, too, which bears the
significant title of "A Bachelors Trou-
bles' and shows some of the expert
ences that mingle with the blessed
ness of lone existence. Charles w.
Littlefeld, the noted mimic, has some
exceedingly clever venriloquial and
singing limitations, and his illustration
of lady dressing her hair is as laugh
able as 1t is perfect. The. Quigley
Brothers renew their admirers by their
quaint funnyisms In 1.-THE Congress-
man-at-Large, and Frey and Fields
add to their circle Of admirers in "The
Wrong Man. Little Lola Cotton
shows some capital feats of mind read
ing, while the acrobatic Lannon'S have
some tricks that are novel and pictur-
esque. The vitagraph has a realistic
film portraying scenes incident to SOL
dier's return from the war, rounding
out show that IS singularly attractive
In all its acts. Prices are TO-. 20 and
30 cents; afternoons 10 and 90 cents,
ladies 10.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1903-09-13

sistent aims The subject Of the book is clearly
enough defined. The historical Introduction
deals with the English sources Of the drama
from the earliest times to something like 1880
and the selection Of plays illustrates the comedy
work Of the latter half Of the sixteenth century.
But the subject marked out after this fashion,
is treated from so many different points Of
view, is the work Of editors so different IN their
sense Of the public which they wish to address,
that no reader could be conceived OF who
would want it all In its profusion of appeal it
reminds one Of the pack OF the gifted AutOlycus;
there is very conscientious but somewhat OBJ
scure erudition for the erudite. and popular ex-
position for the unleaTned; summaries for those
who have no ready access to original sources
and concise illusions 10 those whose shelves are
full Of books and whose heads are full OF index
knowledge; biographical detail for the biographi-
cally historical survey for the historically and
personal criticism for the impressiOnistically
inclined. Every one may find something in DR..
Gayley's bewildering display OF wares. Abiding
TO the selections, he says:
The plays have been chosen primarily for their
importance in the history of comedy, generally
also for their literary quality and, when possible
for their practical. dramatic or hstriCnic value.
OF the studies accompanying them, some are
special, such as those dealing with the several

necessaries of life afford serious problems

has been but little variation for some
time in the quotations for staple pro-
ducts prices for the most part being
firm and generally with an advancing
tendency. White potatoes commanded
in the wholesale market of Baltimore
Yesterday 70 cents bushel, while last
wear they we're 55 and 60 cents a bushel;
There are indications that the price VIII
rise to 80 cents bushel by Christmas.
Eggs are being quoted in that city al
30 cents dozen, and there is proba-
bilitv of their reaching "a cents by
Christmas. Cabbage has gone up from
sl5 to $50 per ton, due to short crops
and the demand for the vegetable. Many
pass through Alexandria to the South
every day. Turkeys were "a and 10
