Lifting the America. G.sn.

Vs. tErTA
Sir Thomas Upton is not a. quitl.r5
even If he. Is a good loser. He has
been trying for the Americas cup III
most is long as tile present generation
can remember md seems willing to
try again. but not under the old rules
promulgated by the New York Yacht
club. To build II boat in Europe. sail
1t acros tile Atlantic and compete
with IN American built boat that is
not compelled to cross the sea he has
found to be impossible, and he asks
that the rules be so far changed rs to
allow him to build his boat in Ameri-
ca after designs prepared in Great
Britain or in some other way to avoid
using a racer that is first made to
stand a long ocean voyage. His con-
tention is that such an ocean voyage
not only strains and Injuries a racing
yacht. but that n vessel constructed
for such q trip must be on lines that
sacrifice speed.
To the lay mind there seems reason
in this contention. and as much as
Americans desire the cup to remain on
this side of the Atlantic they would
not be willing to retain it by unsports-
manlike methods or by taking what
even seems to be an unfair advantage
Of q competitor. That would. rob the
victory Of all its pleasure. Moreover,
Sir Thomas has, shown himself so true
a sportsman that his mere suggestion
Of this objection should carry weight.
It is unquestionably true, as he says,
that If the present rules are not
changed the races for the Americas
cup will be things Of the past. What
ever the New York Yacht club may
decide or whatever their reasons for
adherence to the regulations now in
force, there is no question that the
great mass Of the American public
which Is always generous and in IA
vor of the utmost fair play, is in SYM
pathy with Sir Thomas request. We
have every confidence that whatever
change is made in the rules we can
retain the cup. but whether WI do Or
not is not a matter of the highest Inn
portance. 1t would be infinitely better
to lose it than to have the slightest
suspicion Of unsportsmanlike methods
laid at our door.

Fair Play For tho Block Fist.

Fair Play For the Block Fist.
As long as a colored boxer is the
champion of the world there can be
nothing but ridicule for the fear which
hides behind efforts to dodge combats
with men Of the African race. To that
extent the conditions now existing In
the world Of pugllism are adverse to
sham aud humbug in sports. They
put all men on their own footing. to
stand or fall as they may.
Any white man who makes a living
BY fighting would be perfectly willing
to take the winners part of a good
sized purse for whipping a colored
boxer-if he knew he could do 1t. The,
rub comes in the fear that the result
may be just opposite to his hopes and
fatal to his prestige and ambitions.
The ''manly art" is dragged down to
the level Of an outlawed sport by ring
fights, but it ought at least to show
enough manhood to give all nationals
ties and races a fair chance for its
prizes, such as they are. 5

Popular Music.

!. Music
The experiment Of a grand opera inn
presario to supply New York with
cheap opera has been declared a dis
appointment. Good opera at cheap
prices was offered. High priced sing
ers and musicians and all the scenery
and. accessories of high priced opera.
were employed in producing cheap
opera: but, although the public appre-
ciated the treat, the season proved un-
profitable. The New York experience
Is unfortunate for the whole country.
Good music at moderate prices is q
national need.
The rage for what Is called. often
appropriately, popular music may
stand in the way Of securing good
music at moderate prices. Expensive
opera runs to dazzling names and rep
utations rather than to good singing
and orchestration. With some who
ask for cheap opera the demand is for
dazzling work at low prices Of admis-
sion. This the management cannot
afford.
The notion in the theatrical world
that sensation Is the only thing which
will draw invades the operate world.
There is in the country a growing
knowledge Of what constitutes good.
music, and the appeal for much good
music at moderate prices comes, when
It is voiced at all, from the possessors
Of this knowledge. They may not
rally offhand to the support Of an ex-
detrimental troupe, yet have a real
taste for music which 1t would seem
worth while for capable talent to.play
to. Money is often sunk in catering
to the popular" taste. Some Of it
might be recovered by meeting the de-
.mands of sound musical culture.

WOMAN ESCAPES
FROM COURT PEN,
AS HARRIS DID
Negress Pays Another's Fine
and Walks From Jefler-
son Market Prison.

It developed this afternoon that an
other prisoner, a woman this time, has
son Market Police Court. This escape
occurred last Friday night In much the
same manner that was employed when
Benny Harris, one of the best known
members Of the younger pickpocket set,
got away last December
The first clew to the story, so far as
the newspapers We're concerned, was
given unwittingly this afternoon By
Sergeant Walsh, OF the Court Squad.
Walsh came into the prison pen, and
not seeing two reporters, he called out
to the undelkeepers, Meehan, Sheehan
and Tucker:
Say, Capt. Kane, OF the West Twen-
tieth street station has just teephoned
to ask II any report has been made to
Headquarters regarding the negro wOm-
an that beat 1t out OF here.
Then he saw the reporters and uttered
u,
Lord" Walsh and the keepers refused
to answer any questions and hurried
into the room Of Head Keeper Dermott.
When they came out they had become
talk because all telephone communlca-
tons touching on police business were
regarded as confidential. McDermott
admitted that negress had got away
from a court pen, but he insisted that
II VAS not the pen of his court
At the West Twentieth street station
the desk man declared there was no rec.
ord OF any such case on the blotter, and
he professed ignorance o. any telephone
con versaton which Capt. Kane might
have had with any one.
From an official OF the Jefferson Mar
ket Court however, some OF the real
facts .Here learned. A negro woman
had been convicted, In the Night Court
OF disorderly conduct, and sentenced to
six months on the Island. She was
smart enough to assume the name OF
another woman who had just been sen
fenced to Ave dollars or five days. She
paid the Ave dollars and walked calmly
out.
The other woman, who apparent!
knew nothing OF the deceit, went to the
Island, where, 1t seems, the discovery
was first made and secret invcStIga
ton, inside the department, was started
from the West Twentieth street pre-
clnct, the missing negress having beer
locked up originally In Capt, kane''
