 JACQUES
DAIRY FARM '

The entertaining rural drama, Dairy Farm" has won the favor Of the patrons this week at the Jacques where it is being played by Poll S Own Stock company. It is the first time that this play has been produc- ed in stock and is one of the best dramas of the "Old Homestead" type. It's characters are all interesting and are plain, natural people and the situations are logically arranged, many dramatic incidents following closely upon each other in each of the four acts. The dialogue is exceeding ly bright in nearly every character :n it is a distinct type. The play is elaborately staged and many of the scenic effects are very pretty. The costuming, too, is complete in every detail and in every way this week $ show offers much wholesome enter- tainment for those who visit the Jacques. The theater is cooled by many electric fans and cool air and during the hot afternoons and eveu- ings there is not a more comfortable spot in the city than the Jacques. On Friday afternoon souvenir photo graphs will be distributed. Polls popular prices.

PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL.
Cincinnati Man Says First CompIet,
 Nine Was Organized There 1869.

Harry Ellard of Cincinnati, O.. writes the New York Times as fol- lows:
 Your communication of April 24, headed old Base Ball Nines,' con tains some errors.
 T am in possession of all the books, viz, the score books. the min- ute books, the account books, record books. bills. and photographs per taining to the Cincinnati base ball club from 1866 to its disbandment in the latter part of 1870. and am able 10 speak officially on my sub ject. The Cincinnati base ball nine Of 1889 was the very first complete professional base ball nine i'm the country. Other clubs in :he east and also in Cincinnati had among their players during the years of 1861 and 1868 some who were paid for their services. but none previous to 1869 had an entire professional nine. as there were always some amateurs among them.
 Your correspondent states that Johnny Hatfield made his longes; throw on the grounds of the Cincin. natl base ball club. By ressTence to my book, History of Base Ball in Cincinnati" page ST. you will see that Mr Hatfield made his longest throw upon the Union grounds in Brooklyn. when he threw the bali a distance of 132 yards foot 7h Inches; his longest throw on the Gin cinnati grounds was 1s2 lrds.
 The writer also states that the Cincinnati nine was never defeatea in 1869. but played a tie ,ame with the Rockfords." By reference to my book. page lss. you will SIG that the recorded tie game was played on Au- gust 2s. 1888. with the iIaymakers or Unions of LansingburS. N. Y.. when the game was stopped In the fifth Inning by some crooked work on the part of the Haymakers. This vas the game of 1868 which is re- corded as a tie game. but the um- pire's decision gave the game to the Red Stcckings The Haymakers' portion of the receipts 0f ihe game vas held back several months until the proper apology vas made

ORIGIN OF HARvaRD's CRIMSON

Although President Eliot's oppo- sition to modern college football is we'll known, he has always been Inter- csted in sane athletics, and during his undergraduate days himself par ticipated in college sports. Many Il crew has listened to his interesting experience of those days when Har- ward pulled eight oars and Yale six time allowance usually being given for the dlffcrence-and when the crew met professionals and raced for prize money which got the crew out of debt. But all of this was part of his desire to keep up his physical. mental, and moral health. He developed no one set of muscles out of all proportion to another an unquestionably he be- lieved then as now in sound mind and sound body.
 He likes to tell of the origin of Harvard's crimson In 1858 the first Harvard rowing shell was put on tho water Three men. of whom AL exander Agassiz was one, got together and bought it.
 We had not paid for the boat" said President Eliot. when asked about this. and we depended on our first prize money to pay for it. We'll the day before the race. it appeared that there were to be thirteen or fourteen boats in the race and we said to each other, How are our friends going to know us in the re- gatiaT We have no uniform, noth- ing at all to distinguish us. We had rowed in our various underclothes up to that time. SO Ben Crowinshield and l went down to Hoyey's and bought six rcd handkerchiefs just about that color picking ID q flower from the tablet and We tied those handkerchiefs around our heads. and that. gentlemen. is the origin of the Harvard rcd. Here is the kind of silk handkerchief that was worn few years later showing q handker- chiefl It was not the right color. Tie trouble WAS that magenta came in and the Harvard coIor was magenta for a few years: but that handker- chief is a poor anillne dye This showing an American beauty r0ss of very dark rcd huel was the real color"
