cHEsHTRE ACADEMY WINS.

spartans Defeated by Score of IS to 0.
 The Spartan Football team were de- feated Saturday afternoon by the heavy Cheshire academy team In a close but loose game by the score of 15 to 0. The Spartans without practice went to Cheshire to play the first game of the year, but as they had never been defeated by that school they expected to won. Tn the first half the score stood 0 to 0, but in the second half, through fumbling on the punt of the Spartans the Cheshire team received the ball on the Spartan's Award line and on an end run they crossed the line for the first touchdown. The other two scores were made closely afterward. A pretty drop kick and a double pass made the score 10 to o. The lineup was as fol- lows: Left end, Fleetwood; left tackle, Adams; left guard, Bradley; center, Herrick; right guard, Arbuckle; right tackle, Chatfeld right end, Gowdy; quarterback, Coffey; left half back, Donnelly; full back, Means; Right half back Kennedy.
 The Spartans play Choate school next Saturday and expect to win.

fsasco." The very phrase artistic success" means, if it means anything, that the play so referred to is fine play; that the theme is novel, the. con- struction fawless and the composition on high plane. Such plays do not ordinarily lack support; they are the ones that are great financial successes. Audiences sometimes fail, but never a good play
 On the other hand, 1t will hardly be denied that many plays have been suc- cesses-from a financial point of view, of course that were as barren of art as an Alpine precipice is of vegetation. It would be nvidous to mention these they will occur to all playgoers and students of the drama; but for an artistic success to fall completely ap- pears to be manifest absurdity.
 Another example of fatuity is to judge the success of play by the vol ume of enthusiasm uncorked on first night. Many is the play that enjoyed a riotous reception on its initial pres- entation, which was very soon thrown into the scrap heap of discarded drama. On the other hand many play, musl- cal or therwise which was given but mild approval on it's first night, and which the aesthetic policemen of the drama dismissed with scorn, became a great favorite with theatre goers. Ap- ropos of this fact Tom Robinson liken- ed a play to a cigar; if 1t was q failure no amount of pufflng would make 1t draw; but if it was a success, every body wanted a box.
 It will be seen, then, that the success or failure of play cannot be judged by the temper of an audience at a single presentation, or even by the critical opinion expressed the morning after. In point of fact 1t requires more often year than a single night to establish the success of play. Even a "great New York success" is often misleading. Scores of plays which have had long runs in the Metropolis have failed "on the road. There is no criterion to go by. A play, after all, is not @ success till 1t has been approved of, not only by New York, but Washington, Boston, Philadelphia. Piittsburg, Chicago Cleveland, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans and the players of the entire country.
 It should not be overlooked, either. that many a play which was failure under one title proved a great success under another. The late James A. Hearne would never concede the fail ure of a play which he considered a good play. His "Shore Acres" was first produced and failed under the title of "The Hawthornes," then as 'Shore Acres Division, with the same result and finally as Shore Acres''-with sue cess. "The World" was first named "A Wreck at Sea-" and "The Texas Steer" "A Case of Wine.' So a play is a success when it succeeds.
 Some, of course, will claim that a great artistic success can still be q financial failure. In sense, a case on these lines may be made out to the satisfaction of considerable numbers Many a play, to be sure, has failed which possessed all the requirements of faultless art; but if we eXaRline the oc- casion for public apathy we will find in almost every case that the theme was dLsagreeable, morbid or repelling. Such play could be a7lled work of

TEST FOR COLONIAL BELLIES.

Girls Paraded Around a Divan Until
 Chosen for the Dance,
 It is a great pity that the treadmill has vanished. It was the quaintest and most important feature of the social life at White Sulphur Springs, and had not it's like anywhere in the world Some wit of Colonial days gave the great room that name. Here all the girls and their mothers met after sup proceeding the dancing of the even ing german. In the centre of the room was a circular divan, and around this girls paraded either with their moth- CTS, their chaperons or in pairs. The object was to be chosen for the german Woe to the girl who was left
 If this happened the first two nights, tears and agony were followed by re- treat It was cruel test for any wo- mans nerves, yet it continued as the foremost custom of the place snatched by partners before they had advanced many steps in the parade, but many a etrl had her heart almost broken be- cause she was to young and too intense to know that failure to catch beau for the dance did not write one down a elsewhere. '
 Round and round the parade circled until the dance was we'll on in the ball room. For this hour girls and matrons wore their proudest array of clothes.
 It was this steady tamp, tramp over the same worn way that suggested the name of the treadmill.
 It must have been rarely lively sight, despite the strain, in Colonial days when the belle with patch and powder, in satin and brocade, met the gay cavalier with silk knee brooches, Ijewelled laces and silver buckles.
 Miss Mary Lee, the ledest daughter of Gen. Lee, was anxious to restore the custom, but, as Mrs Roger Pryor said: Not under the glare of electric lights. It neds candles to put it in keeping. - From Ainslees Magazine.

 pany Foreman III-Church Items.
 The football team of the Strong school won its first big victory Saturday over the Roger Sherman school on the grounds of the latter but it was won at the cost of a broken leg for the center player. The, unfortunate lad was Hen Iry Jenniker, of Woolsey street, of the class of 1907. One of the Roger Sher- than boys fell on young Jenniker and the latter sustained a bad leg fracture, which will doubtless keep him from school for four months and very likely Interfere with his graduating with his class next year Principal Sherman l. Graves regrets the accident very much, and yesterday was considerably disturb ed over it. q want it understood that I do not favor school football' said Principal Graves. T do not think that the school is the place to form team, and I do not give it my approval, all though I have not interfered with the forming of a team at Strong. That was a most unfortunate occurrence on Saturday, when one of the Strong play CTS of the senior class had his leg frac- tured And on one of the big football teams playing in another city saturday one of the players got his neck broken. To my mind it is too rough play for the boys in our schools"
 A beautiful design, worked out and enlarged from the Strong school pin tc form the cover for sofa pillow, has been got up by Edward M. Seeley, of Blatchley avenue. The front ot the cover, on blue field, has the design of the school pin greatly enlarged ln a diamond, the same as in the pin, and bearing the word Strong" This de- sign Is stamped ready for working. The other side is of gold sateen, the gold and blue being the Strong school col ors. It is expected that many Strong pupils and graduates will avail them selves of these pillow covers as a re- hinder of their life at Strong grammar school.

WHEN IS A PLAY A SUCCESS?

Lee Shubert says: It is rather curious that there should be any doubt as to when a play is a success. Yet it appears that there is a variety of opinion on the subject. It Is a ques- ton often asked and frequently answered but seldom conclusively. The divergence of opinion, it seems is the results of a misunderstanding of the term.
 There are several kinds of success. but most on the tongues of disputants are two classes, Gan artistic" and "a financial success" The sordid view is, of course, that play only is a success which the public wants to see in sufi- cient numbers to make its presentation a source of profit. Yet, one often hears play spoken of as being a financial failure" but an artistic success" Tn point of fact the latter term is usually employed as an excuse for the failure of a bad play.
 To the play-producer, however, it is out of reason that a great "artistic
