Frcese company won an apparent victory
yesterday when Judge Mcpherson. sitting
in the United States court dissolved the
rcccivership for the concern. Ii was
done, however on the condition that sl0,-
ooO be put up TO cover creditors suits.
At the conclusion OF the court proceed
ings, attorneys for the plaintiff declared
that they would probably bring enough
suits 20 swamp the concern They de-
clared that they knew OF $500. 600 worth OF
claims.
A. L. Eyer, attorney for the concern,
asked that the receivership be set aside
without taking testimony. He said that
there was no ground for the appoint
ment OF the receiver. and that the com
pany was being bounded, adding that
there was not a single allegation TO show
that Il was insorvent.
In cross-eXamnation he brought out an
admission from Bowker the complainant,
that the alleged swindling had taken
place a year and "A half ago.
Then why did YOU allow your claim
TO slumber so long? Who prompted you
to bring suit?" asked Mr.. Eyer.

TOOK SHORTEST RUN.

1t was the intention. of the masters OF
these yachts to take - northern passage,
skinning close by the Nantucket Shoals
lightship. and then on close under Cape
Race and by the great circle, the short
est route across the Atlantic.
They realized that there was a chance
OF meeting ice. but the advantages OF this
route over the more southern one were
so many that Capts. Loesch Bohlin and
Robert L. Tod were willing to take
chances.
Commodore Benedict on the oneida fol-
lowed the Hamburg and Atlantic for
about 1870 miles. He says that the wind
freshened and that at 1880 o'clock in the
afternoon the Hamburg's iibtopsail was
split and taken in and that the Atlantic's
mizZcnstaysail was taken in.
The sea was heavy and the Hamburg
was gaining. BY $50 the Hamburg was
well TO windward OF the Atlantic. Hide
garde was two miles astern and the Ailsa
far behind.
The fog shut down thick, and the wind
got lighter. Then the wind shifted to
north Coming back the oneida passed
the Alsa which had met with some ac-
cident but she was then going ahead.
This was at 10 o'clock on Thursday
morning and the Alsa was l20 miles
southeast by east. onequarter east from
Sandy Hook lightship.

was the faster Of those boats under +he
conditions that prevailed and she was the
first TO get the shifts in the wind that
enabled her 20 start sheets and the judg-
mcnt shown by Capt Loesch has without
doubt put the Endymion far TO the wind

Proud Laird" which Harrison Grey
Fiske has put on at the Manhattan.
are the two latest dramatic features to
attract attention.
Daniels is very humorous in Ser
geant Brue." The play, a recent i'm
pOrtatiOn, was II big hit in London and
has repeated its success here.
Daniels appears as Il London police
man, and in his laundering efforts to
secure advancement in the service lies
the humOr of the play.
Miss Blanche Ring sang an iuterpO-
lated number in her usual pleasing
fashion, which was warmly applauded.
The play was prettily mounted and the
orchestra adequate.
Daniels made speech after the sec
ond act. 1t was, as usual, convulsively
funny, funnier than anything in the
play.
"The Proud Laird" is by Charles
Cartwright and Cosmo Hamilton. The
play is not OF momentous Importance,
and particular recital Of its story IS not
needful. 1t relates to the fortunes of
an impecunlous young Scotch laird"
and somewhat unromantic English
heireSs. The ancestral castle OF the
laird is badly in need Of repairs, and
his lack Of funds with which TO under
take its rehabilitation causes much dis
comfort 10 the various members of his
family. His mother in order to repair
the fallen fortunes of her son and the
falling roof Of his castle determines to
bring about his marriage with the heir
eSS In order to do this she persuadeS
each Of the young people that the other
is the victim Of unrequited attachment.
This artifice Is successful and ends In a
betrOthal, which is temporarily broken
by discovery of the plot to effect it.
The heiress, however. convinceS herself
OF the "Iairds" truth and sincerity by
pretending TO have lost her fortune,
and the piece closes with the usual in
dicatiOn Of impending matrimony and
consequent bliss.

first professional playing was with the

1893, filling the position of shOrtstop.
In the fall of 1894 his release was pur-

Collins, however, did not come up TO
the standard as 4 batSman and before
the season was far advanced was re
placed by Bannou. Shortly nrtcrward
the Louisville club. whose team was
badly crippled, began negotiations for
Collins release. This was granted,
with Il provIso, which was that the
amount paid by the Louisvilles was to
be returned AT a certain time by Bos-
ton if it wanted Collins.
