Presentation of Hamlet" by Mir. Smith
 and His New York Company.

 Presentation of Hamlet" by Mir. Smith
 and His New York Company.
 William Barstow Smith, son Of the late Dr. J. H. Smith, of this city, will make his first appearance in Shake speare's tragedy, Hamlet at the Fly perion theater next Friday. Mr. Smiths father was a renowned dentist for thir- ty years in this city and Connecticut. He was the first to introduce and apply the laughing gas for use in extracting teeth.
 Mir. Smith has given a great deal of time and study to the dramatic art, se- lecting the best authors of the classic plays both in tragedy and comedy, and is a thorough student of Shakespeare. He has for the past few years been with Charles Frohman in modern plays, and, not finding there an opportunity to play in the classic, he has embarked with his own company. When nineteen years old Madame Bernhardt heard him in scenes from the play he will pro- duce at the Hyperion this week, giving him great deal of encouragement and saying he should make his debut in Hamlet. His friends will now have a chance to see what he can do. M. Coquelin, the celebrated French come dian; Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the playwright; A. M. Palmer and Oth- CTS who have so liberally given their talent to this profession, have advised him to take this step.
 Among the names in his support are Estelle Mortimer, who played Dame Quickly with Richard Mansfield's pro- duction, Henry w." and leading lady for Nat Goodwin for seventeen years past; Charles Hoyt, Robert Mantell's leading man for several seasons, and other actors who have supported Booth. Forrest, Murdock, Davenport and oth- CTS.
 Every lover of high class drama should not fail to take this in. MT. Smith will give his own conception of the Danish prince. He will follow the traditions of the character pretty close ly, but introducing new business and reading.

Yale's score would have been much less had it not for costly errors by Purnell, Wells and Ameli. Yale played a star game in the field, making but one error, but they could not hit Stevens, while the Tigers pounded Bowman heavily and Patton had to be substituted in the eighth inning. The Princeton under graduates kept up constant cheering and singing and the brass bands of the alumni all playing at once made an ear-splitting racket. Davis enchanted catch of OBrien's long fly in the first inning was the feature of the game, otherwise it was slow and not exciting. The score:
