200 years after her launching was so

though she unfortunately proved as

ling over a terrace, grinding across

deal of fun out of their Christmas slides

happiness they know nothing OF the pos-
sibilities of the sport. 1t Is not until one

valleys Of that mountainous land, that
one finds the sport of coasting carried
to the highest point Of perfection. It Is

of Engadine, at ST. Moritz, that coasting
becomes an art. In this valley, its floor

other valley In Switzerland are there so
many and such populous villages to be
found at so great an altitude. Oddly, its
many solidly built houses are not the
fruits of labor performed in the valley,
but the evidences of wealth earned all
over the continent. Its opulence repre-
sents the skill of the inhabitants as pastry
cooks confectioners, distillers Of liquors,
keepers of cafes and sellers of chocolate
in the capitals of Europe. Having secured
millions of florins In their sundry occupa-

LYcEUM THEATRE.

A scenic production of the famous
barbaric play, 'Ingomar," is an
nounced for the Lyceum the last half
of this week. AT the head of the or
ganization is John A. Preston, young
romantic actor, who is said to be CIV
ing promise of great things, and he
has been exceptionally well treated by
the press and public since "Ingomar"
has been entour. He comes in play
that offers much opportunity for pow
erful and clever work, showing as it
does the untamed barbarian who
comes under the civilizing influence of
the Greeks and finally becomes one Of
leaders. The period in which this play
is placed is most picturesque and ro-
mantle, affording excellent opportuni-
ties for costuming and scenic display,
which this production carries out to
the most minute detail.

"The White Tigress of Japan" which

conflict, and the author is said to haye
gone the very limit of sensationalism
in creating story of love and ven
geance, reality and romance, craft and
combat. The rare opportunities for
heroic action and the splendid and
surprising scenic effects inherent in
the subject are said to have been fully
utilized in a strong and ingenious plot,
judiciously combining fact and fiction,
introducing number of famous peo-
pie in disguise and dividing the To-
cation of the four acts between Yoka-
homa, Yashiki, Korea and the fortiti-
cations on the Yula river, the above
named points of interest being fully
depicted in splendid scenic environ
ment.
