NEW YORK. Dee. 1I.-For he second
successive year Eddie Root, by IA ter
rife sprint with John Bedell, won the
six day bicycle race in Madison Square
Garden. The Bedell-Bedell and Root
Fogler teams had finished the 142 hour

rode for the Downing-Bowler team.
Logan and Downey won seventh prize,
being a lap behind the Hollister-H Hop

and Macdonald finished two laps be-
hind Logan and Downey.
Because two teams were tied for

The time of the match between Moran
and Stol was the fastest, 4 minutes

Metropolitan. The Burgomaster.'
The first and perhaps. the most bril-
liant Of the Pixley G. Luders' musical
comedy successes, "The Burgomaster, -
will be seen at the Metropolitan for
half week beginning next Thursday
night. Altho 'EThe Burgomaster' was
the first work Of these authors to be pro-
duced, it was written after King
Dodo.'' Pixley was an aspiring Chicago
newspaper man, while Gustav Luders
was the leader of the Schiller theater
orchestra. He was impecunious but full
of ambition. The Schiller theater, later
the Dearborn and now known as the
Garrick, was looking for summer pro-
duction and nothing could be found to
fill in three weeks gap. At the
psychological moment Pixley and Lu-
ders came forward with "The Burgo-
master" and HKing Dodo,'' and the
former was chosen, the management
having in reality little idea that it
would prove successful. That g the
best laid plansof mice and men aft gang

that (: The Burgomaster' jumped into

the piece is responsible for it's immense
success. It is light and catchy. The
story is too we'll known to need repeti-
ton. 1t is stated that the production
this year is the most elaborate the tune
full musical comedy has ever had. The
piece was taken to San Francisco and on
the Pacific coast for the first time this
season, where it repeated it's eastern sue
cesses. The costuming is new and the
cast a notable one. The company is
headed by Oscar L. Figman, one of the
most prominent of the younger come
dams of the day, and by Ruth White.
Mr.. Figman has made a distinct success
of the character Of Peter Stuyvesant,
the good natured burgomaster of New
Amsterdam, whose motto in life is,
. Never let yourself get worried; just
keep cool. - Ruth White, one of the
best light opera prima donnas in the
country, will be seen as Willie Van
Astorbilt, the gilded New York youth
who essays to show the burgomaster,
and "Doodle,' his secretary, a glimpse
of metropolitan New York. Others in
the large cast are Charles Sharp. Oscar
Ragland, Fred Bailey, George McKis-
sock, R. J. Moye, Louise Bracket, Eta

and the Sisters Lockhart. The company
numbers sixty people.

Legitimate forms of theatrical en-
tertainment since it began to sit up and

From the outset it was evident that
modern vaudeville had long been in de-

than willing to pay modest price for
an afternoon Or evening of such enter
tainment. After the first four weeks
the announcement, ''sold out, became
modified until it was possible to get
good seats without engaging them two
weeks in advance, and since then the
it's way, supplying a satisfied public
with high-class of variety entertain

that no man might justly complain that

In addition to absolute uniformity of

When Minnie Madden last played in
Minneapolis, about fifteen years ago, at
what is now the Lyceum theater, she
was slender and rather angular young
woman with much talent in the rough,
and crown of glorious red hair. Since
then she has developed amazingly, and
now is regarded as one of the greatest
personalities on the American stage.
She was born to her calling and the

There never was any doubt about Mrs.
Fiske's talent, tho there was period
when she passed unnoticed amid the
throng. Mrs. Fiske was never so much
IN the public eye as at present. She
has achieved the greatest success of her
career in G. M. s. McLellan's drama,
unanimous Endorsement of the New
York press, and for five months crowded
her New York theater, the Manhattan,
with enthusiastic audiences. Besides
this, Mrs. Fiske has established per-
manent dramatic company Of high
merit that has been likened to the Come
die Franchise and other famous Euro
pean companies.
Mrs. Fiske IS rise is all the more note
worthy because it has been accom-
of the sstheatrical trust which con
trolls nearly all the frst-class theaters
in the country. Because she does not
play in the trust theaters, the
twin cities have been closed to Mrs.
Fiske until the opening of the new Au-
