At Colonial Tonight.

Wilson Barrett's great play, 1.-The
Sign of the Cross which has been
the success of two continents during
the last five years, comes to the Colo
nial Theatre tonight. Although the
piece has been one of the greatest
theatrical attractions of the day and
is we'll known in all of the largest
cities, this is the first time that it has
made a tour comprising any but some
twenty of the most prominent cities.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that
the company that comes here is as
strong dramatical as the organiza-
tion that William Greet has been send
ing TO America and which ran for
weeks each year in such cities as Bos-
ton, Chicago, Philadelphia and Balti-
more. The scenery, costumes and ap-
pointments are the same that Mr..
Greet sent to this country for the
original production of the piece at the
Kniekerbocker Theatre, New York.
The company is composed of English
and American actors who have been
selected with special reference to
their temperamental fitness for the
parts entrusted to them, including
Walter Low, the eminent young Eng
lish actor.

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.

Special Dispatch to Evening Capital.
New York, Sept. 6.-In addition to
the entries and officials there was a
small army of golf enthusiasts about
the links of the Baltusrol Golf Club,
at Summit, N. j., today on the COCA
sion of the opening of the amateur
championship tournament of the Uni
ted States Golf Association. The
presence of so many onlookers was evi-
dence of the interest taken in this
years competition, an interest that
has not been equaled since the sport
was introduced in America. This in
terest is due in part to the fact that
several foreigners are entered in the
tournament, which gives possibility
of the amateur honors of the United
States being carried abroad in the
same manner that the American play
er, Walter ]. Travis, went to England
last spring and captured the British
championship. With such American
experts at the game as Travis and Wat
son among the participants it is GER
tain that the foreign participants must
work hard before they will be able to
even the score by capturing the honors
in the present tournament. Today
and tomorrow are given mp to the
medal play rounds (1S mileholes). The
match play rounds will be contested
Thursday and Friday and the finals
on Saturday

NOW IN HIS NEW QUARTERS
Richard 6. CLANCY Takes Posses
sion of His New Livery
Stables-Large And
Complete.

On Saturday Mr.. Richard G. Cha
ney moved into his new livery and
hiring stables ON West street. which
we're completely destroyed by fire on
the night of April 18th last, together
with number of dwelling houses in
the same neighborhood-all of which
have arisen from their ashes in hand
some new structures, with one ex-
ception.
Mr.. Chaney's livery stable is one of
the most complete establishments of
the kind in the city, covering a floor
space of 229x90 feet. The building
is two stories, brick and frame and
has every convenience of first class
livery and hiring stable. The ground
floor is laid in vitrified brick and
cement, with large porcelain lined
iron watering tank in the center, for
watering horses and hose washers in
different sections of the main floor
all of which empty into sewer outlets.
The stable contains go single and 10
box stalls, all of which are fitted up
with the latest feed receptacals, and
white oak flooring for the horses TO
stand on.
Each stall has drain to the sewer,
and is provided with a swinging win
dow over head opening ON the street
side, thereby giving light and ventila-
tion. A large floor space with sliding
doors is set aside for fine hacks, bug
gies and other vehicles. A large har
ness room is also on this floor as well
as a repair room. Chutes, from the
floor above, for sending the food below
into the hand-feed carts are most
conveniently arranged. BY this mode
of feeding all the dirt and dust which
is very injurious to the animals is
eliminated from the hay before it
reaches the stalls. In the center of
the building is a large skylight and
ventilation which gives a flood of
light to the floor below and ventila-
tion to the whole building. From
the West street entrance is twelve
foot driveway extending the full
length of the building-on the right
side of which are the stalls and on
the left the vehicle and harness de-
partment.
At the far end OF the building is
another row of stalls on either side,
which open to a large vacant lot, where
all the sweepings and droppings are
deposited into a large double wagon
and carted away. At the end of each
Sbdll Is 1dTR6 udIuteS HOOk, upon
which the harness is hung temporar-
lily. The front of the building is of
glazed brick. and rough granite trim
mings laid in red mortar, giving it a
unique effect. The front room is fitted
mp for Mr.. Chaney's private office
with typewriter and roll l-top desk,
safe, etc. Adjoining this is the su-
perinteHdent's or managers office,
,rhioh ic communicated with tho ,ori :
vate Office by small window. Be-
yond this is a well-fitted lady's wait
ing room, with toilet room attached.
Over these rooms Mr.. CLANCY has
fitted up q six-room fiat with all
modern conveniences, such as range,
hot and cold water, bath room, water
closet, etc., entrance to which is by a
wide and easy stairway ON Second
street, near West. The building is
Mr.. Chaney's own design and ideas
after many years experience in the
livery business and is an ideal estab-
lishment of the kind.
