 In the third and fourth acts of the play Miss Bates costumes as noticea- bly, lack sartorial excellence. And the result is that the clothes of Minnie Smith receive very little notice: bus the acting of Blanche Bates is en- phasized.

 spectacular musical comedy sensation,

UPTON WILL TRY
 AGAIN ID LIFT CUP Announces in London That He Will Build a Shamrock for
 Races in 1908. CHALLENGE ALREADY SENT It is in Name of Royal Irish Yacht Club of Dublin
 This Time.
CHALLENGE ALREADY SENT

London, Sept 13-Sir Thomas Lipton will make another attempt in 1908 to TO- gain the America's cup for Great Brit ain The announcement was made this afternoon by Sir Thomas in London, and by. the secretary of the Royal Irish Yacht club at Dublin. The challenge which goes to the New York Yacht club in the name of the Royal Yacht club was mailed from Dublin to-day, It will be taken to New York by the Cunard Line steamer Umbrla, which leaves Liverpool tomorrow.
 The details of the challenge were ar ranged when Sir Thomas visited Dublin recently in the course of a yachting cruise around the British Isles on board the Erin He told a friend months ago of his intention to challenge, but hay ing until the end of September to take action, he deferred challenging until the eleventh hour, not being desirous of giving the American yachtsman more time than necessary to make pre-. parations for defending the cup they having, it is claimed, a great advant- age in it being necessary for the chal- lengng yacht to cross the Atlantic.
 The Royal Irish Yacht club wes or- ganized in 17S1, and Is located at Kings town, near Dublin It's races are sailed on the Irish Sea, sover courses free from 1 headlands. The officers of the club are Commodore, the Marquis of Ornonde; vice commodore, Henry Crawford; rear commodore J. Hume Dudgeon; honorary secretary Richard c. McN Smyth The Marquis of Ormonde is alsc commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron the most exclusive yachting organization In Europe.
 It Is not known why Sir Thomas de- cided to challenge through the Royal Irish Yacht club, instead of the Royal IUlster Yacht club which issued the previous challenges in his behalf, un- less it is he thinks that change of tuck may follow his change of clubs.
 The Queens Cup now known as the America's Cup, was won by the Amer - ican yacht America from the British yacht Aurora, which came in second, in race around the Isle of Wight from Cowes on Aug 22. 1851.
 From 1870 the British at intervals have attempted to regain the cup whicf in 1887, was presented to the New York Yach, club by George L. Schuyler, the
 sole surviving owner of the trophy I was successfully defended by the Co.,

And instances have not been infrequent where the life of play de- pended upon the sartorial excellence of it's production A clothes show, in which the exhibits are really works of art of their kind, inevitably attracts the greater half of the feminine thea tergoing population, which is willing to pay for the privilege of inspecting and criticising handsome gowns. Of course in such a case, finding no claim made upon it, the audience gives no serious attention to the plot.
 There are stage celebrities whose flames depends upon their clothes: witness the extensive advertising of the richness and beauty of the habili- aments of several. And there can be no question of their actual triumphs since the latest things in fashions are shown.

BURGLAR AND THE LADY"


 Perhaps no stage hero in recent years has attracted as widespread attention as that of the famous character sher- lock Holmes, the detective. His keen powers of deduction and his acute rea- soning faculties have made him known wherever English is read and spoken. and now comes a playwright who rec ognizes the possibilities of biting the famous p1an-taker against the most fascinating robber character since the days of Claude Duval, Ned Dallvers. the burglar-gentleman, and not con- tent with arraying these opposites against one another, he, it is said, has woven a pretty love story and we are to see the debonair Danvers in the hands of Cupid, while he exerts him. self to elude the pitfalls set by his willy adversary. The play in question is @ product of the pen of Langdon Mccormick and is called "The Burglar and the Lady" and aside from its at- tractiveness as a stage story, it is said to be filled with a splendid lot of dra- matic situations, and when it is pre- sented here, to doubly assure it's vel come, the management has to an- nounce that tho part of Danvers will be played by Mir James J, Corbett, in fact the play was written for him and he will come with an elaborate pro- duction under the management of the Mittenthal Brothers Amusement com pany (1nc) and with cast that alone ought to draw for the prominence of it's Individual names.
