THE FIRST MATCH
Was a Very Exciting One In the Yost
Billiard Tournament.

aE-
The first match in the Yost billiard
tournament was pulled of last night,
and resulted in Skinner defeating Curt
Fleming 200 to III. Each fell down
on shots they rarely miss, Flemins's
work being very much below his
usual standard, while Skinner did not
put up the game he is capable of by
any means. Several of his shots bor-
dered on the sensational n drew
forth applause.
At the conclusion OF that match,
Lane and Paul Hamilton started. but
were unable to finish because OF the
lateness of the hour.
All o'clock, the score was Lane
Jog, Hamilton 81. This match will
resume at I O'Clock this evening.
and Immediately following. Macarthur
and Scott Lowe will go together.
The popular parlors were filed with
many ladies being present.

Sousa's El Captain.

After a brief reign of ~so-called "mu-
steal comedy" genuine comic opera
is again to the fore. John Phillip
Sousa's most famous work. FL Cap
titan, soon to be heard at the Grand
Opera House, stands for all that is
best in comic opera. and its revival
should be hailed with delight by all
classes of theatre goers. Musically
the piece is a model 1t is tuneful with
out being too heavy and popular with
u being trashy. Ell Captain will be
presented by a strong company head
ed by Mr.. Harry Garter il the title
role mad famous by De Wolf Hopper.
The original production with its
wealth of splendid scenery and cos
tunes has been duplicated and a
splendid performance is guaranteed.

TORY OVER JAPAN RATHER
THAN MEDIATION.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 27.-The
Journal asserts to-day that all sugges-
tons in favor OF mediation in the war
in the Far East have been actuated
by a desire to save Japan from disas-
ter. The Cars expressions in his
letter to Genera Grippenberg, assign
ing him to the command of the sec

t1ement of the wal with an

others failures, consists in the fact
that he does not go after them with
Turing bait and grab-hooll, or any 9th

this he simply wades in to their hid

that the appendix was not simply IN

IN ordinary cases. but must be healed
bya course Of medication, the ulti-
