there will be special features in

Carmen" was given its first per-
Torrance at the Opera Comique on
the evening of March 3, 1875, and
proved a total failure. The audi
ence was cold as ice and on the
following morning the music as
we'll as the libretto were merciless-
ly dissected and condemned by the
critics. Bizet, who was present at
the opening performance, was fran
tic over the cold reception with
which his opera met. After the
performance he rushed into the
street, crying. His failure weighed
so heavily upon him that three
months later he died of a broken
heart Had he lived eight years
longer, he would have been able to
hear his opera Practically applaud
ed in the same house, where it had
failed so dismally. Ever since that
time the popularity of the opera
has increased and today 1t Is prob
ably one of the best known and

A YOUNG CATChER'S DOWNFALL

a phenomenal catch of a foul fly.
The audience, naturally appreciat-
ing the catch, began to applaud
and shout for the young man. He
at once turned to the stand and re-
moving his mask and gloves, made
several elaborate bows in apprecia-
ton of their kindness.
In the meantime the man on
third base, seeing him bowling and
scraping to the audience, broke for
home, winning the game, much to
Bannie's disgust.
On returning to the club house
after the game, Bancroft jumped
onto the young man, and gave him
fine tongue flashing for noticing
the audience and letting the man
score. The young fellow, nervous
and excited. explained to Bancroft
that he certainly was little off"
in the play. Whereas Bannie pull
ed a blue ticket from his pocket,
handed it to the young catcher, and
said:
Eyes, and you'll be ID sight
further off tomorrow"
The catcher left for Cohoes that
night much sadder but wiser.

The leader of the Maps has
caught the polo fever and has late
ly been hobnobbing with VIM. Foor
Of Indianapolis, president Of the

Lajoie likes the game and thinks
it the best of the winter sports.
With a team in Cleveland during
