the Boer War contingent, romance that began In
South Africa five years ago will be eliminated.
The meeting of the young couple at Brighton Beach
was brought about by accident TO Vaye. who

where Vaye was prosperous young business man.
She was sixteen years old when her fance was
called away serve in the Boer cause. Her father

the regiment that storned Spion Kop. On the
eve of her lovers departure for the battlefield Miss

death of her mother. and perhaps that Of her
father, joined hospital train about to leave for
the front.
General Cronje's surrender after the battle Of
Paardeberg terminated the war, and Miss Van

she found ruined and desolate after months of
neglect. Her grief turned into joy when she
at last heard that Captain Van Dake was among

the production came to Brighton Beach two weeks
ago Miss Van Dyke offered her services with the
hospital corps No torn bullet wounds required her
nursing in the mimic battle here but many
opportunities for her tender succor were afforded
by minor accidents resulting from unruly horses
and reckless riding.
It was in course OF one of these incidents that
the young woman was called to the side of the
operating table in the Brighton Beach field hos

'"The lion with the rose is fast becoming thing

almost absolute refusal of Schley, otherwise an

Walter Damrosch on last Friday closed his
first summer season Of three weeks with the
New-York Symphony Orchestra on the roof
garden Of the New-York Theatre. and for the
first time in many years such concerts proved
to be financially successful. The end Of the
first week showed a considerable deficiency,
owing to the fact that the weather was cool, and
the public at large did not know that the place
was inclosed in glass and just as comfortable
in cool as in warm weather. But at the close
of the first week the audiences had increased to
double and treble proportions. and at the end
of the second week the deficit was wiped out.
The last week showed a considerable profit. The
programmes which have been changed each
evening have included compositions both grave
and gay, and among them the following more
important works: Dvoraks symphony From
the New World" Tschaikowsky's Symphony
Pathetidue Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, selec-
tions from wagner's "Parsfal." Die Wal
