 The instantaneous success of "St. Elmo'' led Vaughan Chaser to a further investigation of Augusta Wilson's works, and his keen instinct soon found in At the Mercy of Tiberius material for a drama even more interesting and in- tense than "St Elmo"
 The plot of the play is distinctly out of the ordinary. Beryl Brentano of honor a ble birth, is sent by her invalid mother to her grandfather's to entreat aid and forgiveness. Beryl pleads with her grandfather who has disowned the mother for making a marriage In direct opposition to his commands, who, while he will not forgive his daughter, gives Beryl s100 and a case of jewels that he had intended giving the mother as q wedding present had she married the man of his choosing.
 Beryl leaves the house to return to New York, but before she is out of the vicinity is accused of the murder of General Oar rington, her grandfather, she having been the last person seen with him alive Her arrest and imprisonment, the dram atic discovery of her brother while in Jail, and her belief that he is guilty of the crime, her efforts to shield him, the terrible chain of circumstantial evidence that entangles her. all unite to form I series of tense situations from whicn IL Is seemingly impossible that the girl will ever be extricated. Following Beryrs fortunes, at first as the cold, skeptical district attorney, who like the Tiberius of old Rome, would let nothing stand in the path of his duty, and later as the man who loves her. is Lennox Dunbar the part enacted by that talented artist John Webb Dillon.

Her New York appearances this season have been the occasion of popular furores, sell dom seen even in that center of artistic extravaganza. Mile. Elena Tarkanoff, another of the sopranii, is a young Rus sian artist, with superb voice, volume | and quality. She is dashing, piquant, and | of most magnetic personality. Mile Vir- ginia Novelli, the fourth of the Bessie 4 bolt prima donna, is another ecquisi- ton from the Metropolitan Opera house forces, especially loaned with Signorina y-illani for the present southern tour The mezzo-sopranii are Miss Grace Whistler and Mile. Marie Pozzi. the first New York soicety girl with vocal tri- umphs to her credit in London, Paris and Italy, and the second an Italian singer of exceedingly high repute in Berlin, Lis bon, Vienna and Madrid.
 Two of the leading tenors come from the La Scala theatre in Milan-Giuseppe Gaudenzi and Giuseppe Giorgi, and it is a strange anomaly of the former that his musical instructor in Italy was Mrs. Grace Warner Griswold of Buffalo, N. Y
 Both Giorgi and Gaudenzi are graduates of the famous University Of Bologne The third tenor, Ettore Trucchi Dorini. brings to America a reputation splendidly won in every city in continental Europe where grand opera prevails. The bari tones, virgilo Bellatti, Adamo Gregoretti, Umberto Michaele and Francesca Nicol- ettl, are all Italians. The rlrst named

is necessary to break in new horse for the race the recruit is harnessed beside 'Monll,' who carries him through like a stage manager. Not only has Monk raced in "Ben-Hur" more than three thousand times, but he has visited every city of importance in this country and Canada and has travelled over 100000 miles, Through long association he has been taught a variety of tricks. He is school horse, with all it's gaits; he will play tag with his trainer; he will lie down and roll over like dog at the word of commando he will run into his harness like the horses at the fire station, and will trot, pace, gallop and single-foot at a word from his trainer.
 Out of the entire "Ben-Hur'' stable he is the only horse that is not led-he fol- lows by himself. Should one or two of the horses be left behind through any cause, Monk always manifests the greatest uneasiness. and he fingers about until they appear He is of a most jeal- ous disposition; if piece of apple or sugar, of which he is extremely fond, is not offered to him first, he will not take it, and he Is resentful for two or three days, acting as though his dignity had been offended.
 Last summer Monk spent his vaca tion in a large pasture at Hampstead, Long Island. He did not seem to thrive well there and refused to associate with the strange horses with which he had been placed, but when some of his old companions of trouping days were sent

 The late Frederick Remington struck responsive chord in the heart of nearly every man when he declared that his tombstone would contain but one phrase He loved a horse" There are horses and horses; not only of different colors, sut of disposition as well. The horse- man will tell you that there is as much difference between the magnetism of horses as there is in the magnetism of men. Some horses attract you to them you don't know why. but there is some thing that excites your interest and, with association, your affections.
 This Is true to a remarkable degree with the horse Monk" who possesses the extraordinary record of having raced over three thousand times without ever once being defeated. You look at the scene upon the stage and while you know that he and his fellow racers gain the advantage by a mechanical device, yet his struggle is so earnest and so magnid-
 mt that the illusion of a real victory sinks down deep into the mind. Monk is the bay horse, with black points and blazed face, that races in the chariot of Judah, the Prince of Hur, in the stu pendous spectacle of "Ben-Hur." Monk" is the horse nearest the audience; he has formance up to the present time, and in all these 12 years he has never missed a performance or failed to win.
 Naturally he knows his Hines" and "cues'' like a veteran actor and when it
