THE JOY OF DISCOVERY.

In a recent book entitled Some
Eminent Veterans" the author OF
which Is J. Comyns Carr. an English
man OF letters. there is a story which
rather oontradIcts the tradition that
English youth is invariably sucked
on Shakespeare. In the course OF his
career Sir Henry Irving found himself
In Dublin at a time when the Duke
OF Marlborough. the father OF Lord
\ Randolph Churchill. was Lord Lieu
tenant OF Ireland. Hamlet was the
play OF the evening. and Lord Ran
dolph. seated alone. occupied the vice
rek J box.
When the second act was ended be
went behind the scenes TO Irving's
dressing room and introduced himself
to the actor
With an apology that was evidently
sincere. he expressed his regret that.
owing TO a reception at the castle. he
was unable TO wait for the conclusion
OF the performance. He declared him.
self. however, intensely interested in
what he had seen. and begged Irving
to tell him In few words. as his time
was limited. how the play ended.
Irving was ct first so taken aback
that be thought his visitor was indulg-
Ing In a humorous sally at the ex-I
pense OF the immortal dramatist. but
a quick glance at the young mans
earnest face suficed TO reassure him.
and he then told Lord Randolph the
outline OF that concluding part OF the
story which his social engagement did
not permit him TO see represented
upon the boards.

surediy, he was. from the rise OF the
curtain to It's fall. in rapt attention
to every succeeding scene Of the trag
edy.
At the confusion he again went
round to Irvlngs room. even more en-
thusiastic than on the occasion OF his
previous visit; and, with a naivete
that was. Mr. Carr thinks. deeply char
acteristic OF that power he afterwards
displayed In public effairs-the power
Of swiftly appropriating the knowledge

occupied-he made the frank avowai
that since their last meeting he had

but two or three other plays by the

The polo game on the Ell Cerrito heid
yesterday was just a gallop. The bad
weather caused the players to postpone
the regular game and spend the after
noon in a little practice. For polo ie
compared very favOrably with some OF

good hard hitting and the men played

The veteran had hard time with

time.
On account of the heavy showers
which prevailed all through the game
the time was cut down to four periods
They were short periods, but with lots
of ginger. Cameron showed to the
best advantage so far this season. He
kept well up on the ball and tried MS
best with Hobart. whom he opposed In
the lineup In the third period. which
was the only one in which there was
any scoring, Cameron uncovered nicely
and got a good, clean shot at the Dali.
There was force behind the wallOp and
il scored
Shortly afterward the Whites took
the ball to the other end of the Held
for another score. The Reds stopped
return The players were well punched
between DriscOll. who was well back in
position, and the goal. He made a
beautiful stroke, raising the ball clear
over the heads of the players and
straight between the goal posts. There
in every case the ball went a little too
wide. The postponed game OF yester-
day will take place Sunday on the

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. Al

individual runs by Roth, Holman and
Miller, and though Vancouver tried
hard, they could not cinch the game

goals from the field and practically
won the game for Chicago. But Rube

always pulled from the bottom of the

Chicago runners and putting them

the jaw shortly before time was called
