spects different from the usual musical comedy and follows a definite plot which deals with the predicament In which Her man Schultz finds himself on the unex- pected return of his wife just after he had spent a night in carousal, With cham pagne accompaniment. The situation Is still further vivified by the introduction Of Mile Florizell, a dancer who poses as Herman's niece from Vassar college. The action is fast enough to suit lovers Of musical comedy and there is plenty of fun.
 Harry Emerson, a fair dlalectiton and a German comedian of ability, makes the most of his opportunities as Schultz. MISS Lillian HoerIein, handsome and grace ful woman, is well placed as Mile. Flori- zeIl She has A most engaging stage nresence and dresses well. Her singing is also of a pleasing quality, while her animation and personal attractlveness contribute much to the pleasure or the nerformance. One of her best songs Is "Carissima." which is her first number on the programme. Others who appear to advantage are Richard Bartlett as Frank Swift and Harry Scott as Walter Brooks Jennings. MT. Emerson's most popular song, perhaps, Is "Hinkey Dee," which he sings with the assistance Of the chorus.
 Musically, "Gay New York" is well equipped, being supplied with number of pretty songs that are given in a brisk manner by the chorus and principals. The chorus is well trained, handsomely gowned and sings better than the aver age. The songs are of the "catchy' va riety that win encores.
 The comedy of the piece is largely sus' tained by the two principals, although, In addition to Harry Scott and Richard Bartlett, Edward B. Adams, Ollie Omega, Florence Clements, Mazda H. Foy and James Devine appear credltably in the cast.
 "Gay New York" Is well staged and is inst the roIlickng sort of musical show that will draw well at the Bijou.

address in America yesterday. speaking to
1000 persons at the University OF Chicago.
The subject of his sermon was 1.-The Com

gether whatever the differences are that
separate u.s. he said. 1--WE do not deny that
these differences exist. and so our friend
ship is not based upon a misunderstanding
But we all know that these dvergences of
view do not prevent US from agreeing IN
many common points.
I'VE know that we have the same Holy
Scriptures. and that our moral system, our
ethics. Is equally based on the Decalogue
and the Gospel. and. above all, we know
We can recte together. with one heart and
one voice. the Apostles Greed, that sublime
and simple summary of Christian doctrine.
What joy it is. in spite of SO much
lame utable separation. for us to be able to
make our common profession of faith in
the same terms as did our fathers nineteen
durable. has been this creed Of ours than
the Roman empire.
THE world has been overrun in every
direction by the Christian faith. But glo-
rous as have been it's conquests, it greatest
glory lies in itself. All our dogmas lead up
to the one single affirmation and the one
immense phenomenon. This phenomenon
consists in the participation of the world
with the life Of God"

VANDERBILT CUP RACE
PRESIDENT TO HELP SECURE
NEXT CONTEST FOR LONG ISLAND

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
| OYSTER BAY. N. Y, July 22--Presdent
| Roosevelt has promised to do all in his
| power to secure the Vanderbilt automobile
| cup race for Long Island again this year.
Prominent citizens from almost every town
and village in Nassau county called upon
| Secretary Loeb last week and asked him to
bring the matter to the Presidents atten-
ton, and on Saturday A. r. Pardington.
president Of the Automobile Club OF Amer
lea. came to Oyster Bay, and as a represen-
tative of Mr.. Vanderbilt. urged the Presi-
dent to do all he could to get the race
again for the old course. Mr.. Pardington
said that Mr.. Vanderbilt was extremely
anxious that the race be held on Long
Island. and he did not want to see it go to
New Jersey.
By next year tire new course at the east
ern end of the island Will be completed, so
there VIII be no danger of It going elsewhere
after that. 1t was owing to the insuffic ient
way in which the track was polfced last
year that led to the Abandonment of the old
course. No matter how many deputies were
hired they could not keep the crowd back,
and consequently boy was killed. 1t was
later urged that the state militia called
out and used for police purposes. but there
Is no law that will permit this.
Want Soldiers for Guards.
Nevertheless. an effort is being made by
interested parties DIN New Jersey to have the
legislature there pass a law permitting the
soldiers to act as guards about the course,
and this fact has stirred the people Of Mas
sau county to renewed endeavor to save the
race from going to another state. They
wanted to get President Roosevelt to allow
them the use of the federal troops, but the
President said this was impossible. He
did promise. however, to do everything he
could to bring the race back to Nassau
county.
The Presidents promise put new hope in
the officers of the Automobile Club and the
usfness men of this county. and the chances
are that some way will be found to have
the present course ably guarded, so that
this years event will be run over 1t.
The delegation that visited Oyster Bay
to obtain the Presidents assistance pointed
out that the two previous races were of in
calculable benefit to Nassau county. 1t
did much. they said, to increase the value of
real estate and influence wealthy people to
settle here. Others told of the wealth it
brought to farmers and merchants gen
orally.
One man said he cleared $500 for auto
mobile privileges in one day and there were
many instances of a like nature.
