The only thing which nay be set off

the audience comes into the theatre

this does not affect the main point. that
an actors life is a long round of gen

assisted at the rehearsaIs of what the
critics are inclined to call ''go-as-you-

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The first
royal levee under the new rules,
requiring all persons attending the
levee to have cards of admission,
was held this noon at st. James
palace. AS result of the new ar
rangement the attendance, though
large, was not So large as to cause
an overcrowding of the levee sa-
Ions. Owing to the fact that the
court is in mourning on account Of
the death of King Christian of
Denmark, there was an absence of
the usual display and brilliant cere-
monial characteristic of royal lev
ees. Among those presented were
several Americans. Many of the
new members of parliament attend
ed the levee and were graciously
received by King Edward.

of the United States army, station
ed at the Columbus barracks, I'M
der command of Capt. e. F. Tag
CART, started today for San Fran
cisco, to sail thence for the Philip

were lined up along the streets
through which the soldiers march
ed from their armory to the rail-

people, including the friends and
relatives of the departing soldiers,
were assembled at the station to
speed them on their way.
, When asked what arrangements
he had made in regard to his chill

Taggart said that he had left those
matters in the hands of his attor-

they would make some satisfac-

There Is one fighter, however,
minus all the real pugilistic scars.
John l.. Sullivan has fought over
100 battles and has not a single
scar on his face to show he was
ever in a ring. In 1888 Sullivan
fought on an average of one man
every five days for nine months
and still no scar remains.

Hereafter at Harvard it must be
nominated in the bond" before a
candidate for an athletic team goes
to the training table. So many ath-
letes have been forgetful of their
obligations after the season closes
that they fail to walk up and settle
for their grub. This leaves the
athletic committee in the lurch.
In the future some man who
owns a row of city brooks or a
strong box full of stocks must
guarantee the payment Of the bill.
In this way the committee hopes
to cram honesty down the throats
of football and baseball players
and make them pay for what they
eat.

in three round boxing bout at one
of the burlesque show houses. Any

Because there are more of

He WOULD ELIMINATE
THE SACRIFICE HIT

From my experience of many
years as a player and as a spec
tator, hearing the comments of 9TH
er spectators, | will say that
believe the game would be i'm
proved in popularity as a sport by
the elimination of the sacrifice hit
Beating out a hunted ball is a
beautiful and greatly appreciated
play, and of course should be al
lowed. But the deliberate sacri-
fee of batsman simply to advance
a runner seems babyish to the ma
jority of spectators, and greatly
decreases the number of those two
sterling and interesting forms of
playing, place hitting with the run
ner, known as "hit and rum" and
base stealing. With a runner on
first or second base and no man
out, make every attempt to bunt,
wherever the ball goes, strike,
and place the runner or runners
in their original positions.
The playing rules as whole
need redrafting. They contain a
number of antiquities, and fire.
quently fail to express the mean
ing intended. and to cover points
that should be covered. AS to the
foul strike rule, while it seems
rather too severe on batsmen, it
has its merits, and the difficulty of
making a wise amendment or sub
stitution is great.
AS to the drafting rules, some
steps have lately been made toward
more equity for all concerned.
