This leads to the belief that at some

Mrs. Fiske early in october will begin

pear in "Tess OF the D'Urbervilles,"

She has not acted in the southern
states in nine years and will be seen
for the first time in these three plays.
The Manhattan company, including
many Of the players who have been
with 1t from its foundation, will be
associated with Mrs. Fiske on the
southern tour. In December Mrs. Fiske
will produce a new play. which will be
the feature Of her annual New York
engagement at the Lyric theater. For
this production Mr. Ffske will surround
her with a special company peculiarly
adapted to the requirements of the
play. An interesting development of

soon thereafter Nine Kalich will fill q

of the larger cities. The production OF

$4,000 Derby Fer Mexleo.

According to dispatches from Mexico.
the government has taken an interest
in racing in our sister republic and
purposes to give the sum of $4,000
each year for ten years for the Mexican
Derby. This move Is made by the
government with the idea of improving
the breed OF horses In Mexico 5000, 900
having been set aside to be divided up
in ten purses to be run for annually.
1t will be necessary to Import horses
from the United States to conduct
such meeting successfully and with
a chance to run for $4,000 purse 1t
should not be difficult to get sufficient
horses of fair class to make an inter-
esting meeting,
Racing has been attempted In the
City of Mexico before. Several years
ago Colonel Bob Pate, a well known
western racing man, conducted a meet
ing or two there which met with fair
success, but not enough of the home
people were interested at that time
to make the enterprise paying one.
The Mexicans are a great sporting
people, and the recent Development
OF the republic has turned out almost
as many millionaires rs the United
States. With these people properly in
torested and backed by the federal gov
ernment, racing should quickly become
popular sport In Mexico.
