Lillian Russell. the famous Ameri-
can beauty and player, made her first
appearance in Boston at the Hollis
Street theatre this week as a come
dienne in the new racing comedy.
"Wildhre." Miss RussclHS fame.
heretofore has rested on her achieve
ment rs prima donna. Less than a
year ago she entered the field of light
comedy and II possible, made n great
er success as an interpreter OF polite
comedy than as a singer. Miss Rus.
sells last appearance in Boston was
In the part OF Lady Teasle In r'usi-
cal version OF the old comedy Her
conception OF the part gave great
promise as comedienne.
There have been quite a number Of
English condolences who have made
their Boston debuts at Keith's during
the past few seasons. but Il has re-

her hrst bow before Boston audi.
ence Monday, Dec 2. TO cap the
climax II is not surprising that she
should do so. for she is recognized
both in London and the provinces as
the greatest favorite the patrons OF
the music halls have. Miss Lloyd
is singing several new songs this
week.
II is an interesting fact that every
branch OF the stage has been repre-
scntod in vaudeville since Messrs.
klaw & Erlanger entered the field.
II Is no small honor TO appear under
the banners OF Klaw a Erlanger. as
has been demonstrated by the engage
mcnt OF the great foreign and domes-
tic performers and acts. These en-.
gagements only serve 20 emphasize
what Klaw & Erlanger have done for
vaudeville. Another evidence Of the
power and the resources OF Klaw G

lue OlncT cltl6 OF new EHklduu III Ihc
formation OF a physicians club. which
will be conducted primarily on prin-
ciples OF sociabiIIty and good fellow
ship. The club has been named the
New England Physicians club, and Its
membership will include most OF the
best known physicians of Greater Bos-
ton, while on its honorary and asso-
ciate rolls will be numbered many
physicians from all parts of New Eng
land
Associations OF physicians in the
past have confined themselves to so
cieties for the exchange Of surgical and
medical knowledge, but this club will
make that object secondary one, al
though II Is not intended that it should
be relegated too far into the back
ground. One night each month will be
devoted to the reading OF thesis on
some subject of interest to the profes-
sion. but outside Of that the social
end will be the big thing.
For quarters the club will have an
entire building on Boylston street, and
II has been thoroughly renovated and
elegantly furnished
The quarters are not quite ready for
occupancy, but IL is hoped to have
them In shape in few days, when the
club will have an informal opening.
The secretary Of the club Is DR.. w. X.
Brown and on him devolves great
part OF the work Of organization.
An interesting relic that is to find
home in future aboard the frigate Con-
stitution, now at the Charlestown navy
yard, is a manuscript abstract OF the
log OF that historic ship on her last
cruise under commission, from March
2, 1853 to May q, 1855.
The manuscript, which has been
handsomely mounted and framed, Is to
be given to the frigate by William NJ.
Davis, an analytical chemist OF this
city, one OF whose relatives was an Of
icer on the cruise In question and
made the abstract apparently as "A
pleasant reminder Of the voyage.
The log, which contains In the vi
cinity OF 100 entries during the voyage.
shows that the Constitution was 429
days at sea, and 1872 days In port, and
that In the two years and two months
she sailed a distance Of AZ, 166 miles.
Her commander was J. Rudd and she
was the flagship of Commodore j.
Mayo.
She sailed from New York. towed
out to sea, according to an entry in
the log. by two steamboats," The first
place she touched at thereafter was
Gibraltar; from there she visited va
rious Italian ports, then places along
the north coast OF Africa, and six
months after sailing from home she
was cruising along the west coast of
Africa, In the region OF the GabOon
river. touching frequently at Portu-
guese Spanish and British ports.
Though the log contains no specific
statement to that effect one is tempt
ed TO believe In perusing the account OF
her wanderings. that the old frigate
was engaged In Watching for slavers
during the greater part OF the time she
was abroad Accounts of the Consti-
tutiOn's career make no mention OF
such commission, however. On her
way home she stopped at St Helena
and Havana, ending her voyage at
Portsmouth, ~ H.
The transcript of her log is TO be
hung in some conspicuous place on
board, probably in the captains cab.

The Sunday theatre i'm New York
City will be a thing Of the past If n
decision rendered by Justice O'Gorman
in the supreme court the other day
is enforced In sweeping opinion,
the justice denounced as clear vio'a-
ton OF the law every possible form
Of Sunday stage entertainment, under
whatever title. There is no appeal
from this decision and any relief must
be found in new legislation.
The opinion was rendered in con-
firmiug the report Of a referee in a test
case involving the question of revoca-
ton OF the license for the Victoria
theatre on a change of having violated
the law.
The referee found that only Ave OF
the acts given in that theatre were In
violation OF the Sunday law, but JUS
tice o'Gorman disagreed with him and
said: "All performances in theatres
or other places OF public amusement
and entertainment on Sunday are
