mistress Of r6ulndc. trllt and caaenaa,

There are at least two singers Of the
younger school who are fit successors
Of the great artists who have almost
lived out their public lives. One OF
these is olive Fremsted, an American
soprano who is climbing the ladder
with an agility that is little short OF
marvellous. With a voice that is Of
real grand opera quality and a method
that is as refined as 1t is convincing,
she has already conquered her world
at the Metropolitan and seems des-
tined to long and brilliant reign.
The other Is Mile Gerville-Reache, a
young French contralto now In her
second season at the Manhattan. En-
dowed with a voice of the rarest quail
ity, instinct with sensuous charm, vet
noble and most delicate in expression,
this fortunate young singer must be
numbered among the worlds really
great artists.

DEMANDS OF CLASS A BOILERS
TO BE ACTED ON MONDAY

In a baseball way the new year will
be started in Cincinnati with one Of
the largest and most important meet
ihgs ever held.
The occasion is the annual meeting
Of the national commission. which is TO
be held at The sintop Hotel, beginning
next Monday morning at 10 O'Clock,
and lasting no one knows how long.
Ordinarily the election of a chair
man, and the cleaning Up of whatever
cases are left over for decision, are the
only matters of business coming before
the commission at it's annual meeting,
and the session is usually concluded
within a day or two. But this year
there will be much more doing. Not
only Is there a large amount Of routine
work to be brought up. but several ex-
tremely important cases are to come be-
fore the supreme court OF baseball for
decision.
Chief among these is the list OF requests
presented by the two big class A leagues
AT the recent meeting of the majors in New
York. The nature OF these requests *

.RELAY RUNNERS
NOT YET PICKED
! TO MEET Shrub
twark Man Seems to Have
Good Chance of Being
Selected.

Alfred Shrubb, the great English
pong-distance runner, who is matched
to meet a relay Of three men in a t2-
mile race at Madison Square Garden
next Saturday night, Is expected at
New York Monday to finish his train
ing for the event. Shrubb has charge
of the track team at Harvard and is
always In pretty good shape, but he
want to finish up his work for this
race near the scene Of action, and will
probably secure permission from The
Pastime A. C. to use their running
track for his outdoor work.
The question of who will be the three
men to compose the relay team against this
neet-footed little Britisher still remains un-
settled. There is such n diversity of opin-
ion among the followers of the game as to
who would be best to give the Englishman
the closest race, and the anagementis SO
anxious to make certain of obtaining the
best material, that the weeding-out process
will probably take several days longer.
-Benfer, of Newark; Kealley, Spring and a
Cuban named Cavajal seem to have the
greatest number of supporters up to the
present time. The latter has been showing
some startling performances down around

his American admirers is correct.
