THE GAME POSTPONED.
But the Local Men Went to Forest
 Park to Eat Lunch.

Owing to the unfavorable weather conditions, the baseball game which was to have taken place here to-day between hines representing Bridge port and Waterbury city officials was postponed until some day next week, probably Thursday. All the baseball cranks in town were in the lobby of city hall early this morning and City Clerk Sandland's team was spelling for fight and felt very much disappointed when they heard that the Park City boys got scared at the little drizzle of rain and had decided not to come up. The commit tee had everything in readiness to give the visitors a royal welcome, Mayor Thoms and all the city off, cials entering into the spirit of the occasion in manner which pleased the management very much. After giving the Bridgeport boys a good walloping at the City league park the yanquished party and their root CTS would have been banqueted at Lakewood park.
 A number of the local men went to the park and feasted on the good things which had been prepared.

FAvoRlTE or PRESIDENT.
Uncle Robert Roosevelt's Visits to
 White House Informal.


 White House Informal.
 The late Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, uncle of the president, was held in high esteem by the chief executive, who always looked forward to their annual reunions with the greatest of pleasure, says Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune. Of late years, on account of the presidents manifold duties. which made 1t we'll nigh impossible fcr him to spare the time to go to Sayville. MT. Roosevelt had done most of the visiting to his nephew. The last time the president went to Sayyslle was In the summer of 1904. when he rode horseback across Long Island from Oyster Bay in com pany with his boys. Mir. Roosevelt paid the president q visit Inst winter, arriving In Washington without trou- bling to send any advance notice of his coming. The old man never paid much attention to the subject of clothes, pre- ferring to wear what was most com fortable. and so when he arrived at the door of the White House office building one morning the doorkeepers thought him some venerable farmer who was seeing the sights"
 "T'd like to see the president" the old man said to the doorkeepers.
 You'll have to see his doorkeeper first" said one of the policemen at the outer door, and Mir. Roosevelt pro- ceeded to make his wants known to Major Charles Loeffier. Major Loeffier looked Mir. Roosevelt over. was not particularly impressed with his appearance. perhaps. and told him that the president was busy" Then Mfr. Roosevelt tried Secretary Loeb's door with equal lack of success. John Hans. the doorkeeper on guard. told him that the secretary was busy" too.
 While Mir Roosevelt was standing first on one foot and then on the other. in an irresolute way. he was recognized by one of the secret service men who had seen him in Sayville on the occa- sion of the presidents visi:. The dc.ec- tive steered him into Mr. Ioeb's room in a jlfy. ans the secretary hustled him into the presidents olbee ia less time than it tskes to Ee. tn,s type.

An American Girls Success.


Soon her father began to see the
possibilities of her voite, and he bent
his efforts to give his daughter every
opportunity to make her mark in the
profession which 1t was clear she was
going to choose. He encouraged her
love of music and early saw that she
had such tuition as would help her
through the first steps. 1t was not
long before her ability was widely
commented upon, and while still a
young girl she went abroad for the
training which we are told can be
had only on the other side of the At
lantic. There she studied under Ora
ziani and Lilli Lehman, both OF
whim took a sincere personal interest
in her development.
Among her friends abroad 1t soon
became a habit to speak of Geraldine
Farrar as a future operate star with
whom the present favorites mus
take account; but the girl herself
scarcely more than a child, was moi
so sure. Ambition and confidence
she had in plenty, but the years were
long before her and she felt thai
when the time came she would know
1t. Still they said she was soon tt
be accounted with, but scarcely any
one realized how soon. She made hel
debut in the Berlin Opera House, II
1901, when she was nineteen years
old, as Violetta In 'Traviata. He
success was assured, and frequent,
thereafter she was given the oppor
tunity to sing In other parts, but sh'
was most appreciated, perhaps, al
Marguerite, in Faust.

ing love Yet. altho correctly named
n mystery" play for the foregoing
reasons, it is in no sense of the word
the same as understood by this name
as applied to the early mystery" plays
of the Christian church. In those
plays. devoid OF scenic embellishments,
and in many instances even of appro-
pirate costumlng the action was stilted
and the players seemed merely to chant
with monotonous articulation what
ever dialogue was contained in the
text. This method no doubt, served the
purpose of the time, but it would now
serve only as reminder of the meth
DDS pertaining to the drama of those
days and WOULD simply be appreciated
as such. ''Parsifal," on the contrary.
while still being mystery" play, IS
redolent with life and color, natural
and spirited in action, and in every
particular much the same as the better
class of the drama of the day. 1t is
this harmonious combination, combined
with the beautiful story of the play it
self, that renders "Parsifal" the ire
sistible and absorbing spectacle that
has made 1t famous turnout the world.
None can witness this soulful and pro-
foundly interesting production without
being awakened more fully to the con-
seriousness Of ones innermost self and
tho sublime power OF the brotherhood
of unselfish love. In the effort to re-
produce the reverential atmosphere of
the original surroundings and in other
details. during the engagement here,
the tradition of Baireuth will be pre-
served except In commencing time,
which has been slightly changed. For
merly the commencing time was $3.50,
and a two hours intermission was given
for dinner. This long intermission has
been done away with, which permits
of commencing the first act at Z As, the
performance concluding. at II o'clock.
The public is most earnestly requested
to subscribe to the rule that every
body should he seated before the house
is darkened and the first act begins.
1t will be impossible to seat anyone at
this juncture. Ample warning Will be
given before the rise Of the curtain
in each act by trumpeters who Will
sound a "Parsifal' motif in the lobby
