LEGLESS AND ARMLESS.
Yet kavanaugh Was a Daring Rider
and Famous Sportsman.


Far and away the most interesting
member and in many ways the most
remarkable man who has ever sat In
the house of commons was the Right
Hon Arthur Kavanaugh. who sat for
Carlow from 1869 to 1880 under condi-
tons which would have been impos.
sible for almost any other man.
Kavanaugh was born without arms
or legs-he was. In fact, mere trunk
of man. And yet he performed a
feat from which most men with their
full complement of members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on to his saddle, he was
one Of the most skillful and daring
riders to hounds in all Ireland. On
one occasion, 1t is said. "the saddle
turned under him. and the horse trot-
ted back to the stable yard with his
master hanging under him. his hair
sweeping the ground, bleeding pro
fusely. He merely cursed the groom
with emphatic volubility. had himself
more safely readjusted and rode out
once more"
So remarkable was the sight Of this
pink clad trunk perched on his big
horse that a child who once saw him
dashing out OF a wood ran shriei<ing
to her mother. exclaiming: "Oh. mum
my. I've seen Satan himself! I've seen
him sure enoughE'
Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and was the first to assert
the right of M. P.'s to moor their craft
opposite the houses of parliament. he
went on a shooting expedition to AL
bania and published charming book
on his experiences. illustrated with ad.
mirable photographs taken by himself,
while among his favorite pastimes
were angling and tree telling.
His most famous exploit. however
was his ride from Norway to India
Accompanied by two friends, be rode
across Russia to the Caspian sea,
thence to Astrakhnn and Astrabad
and through Persia. laughing at the
perils and fatigues of journey which
might well have daunted even the ia

nErRolI OPERA HOUSE.

In the titular role Of "Rigoletto," the
most tuneful OF Verdi's earlier works,
Charles Swickard, leading baritone OF
the Sheehan English Opera company,
scored a distinct personal triumph in
the Detroit opera house. Monday
evening. He was in splendid voice,
and, from a dramatic standpoint, MS
conception of the crippled court jester
was not open to criticism. IL was per-
haps the best opportunity that has
come TO Mr.. Swickard during the
present engagement, now drawing TO
a chose. and those who like "Rigoletto'
can scarcely AFFORD to miss this OPP
portunity.
II must not be inferred. however,
that Mr.. Swickard enjoys a monopoly
of the honors. Mr.. Sheehan. Miss
GLADYS Caldwell and Miss Elaine De
Sellem all had their innings" In
solos, in duets and in the famous quar-.
tet. which. of course, Is always the
piece de resistance, and, IL well rem
dered. Is a real musical treat. Mon
dav nights audience awaited the open
ing strains with keen anticipation.
There was a suppressed exclamation
notes. and men and women settled
back In their seats as though literally
bathing themselves In the flood OF
harmony. At the end they gave vent
10 their approval in din OF applause
which necessitated a repetition OF the
greater part OF the song
Another treat was Mr.. Sheehan's
rendering OF La Donna e Mobile"
which. AFFORDED his sonorous voice
great opportunities. Miss Caldwell
was a picture as the dainty Gilda,
daughter of Rigoletto. She looked as
fair as a lily In her white, sllken
robes. and her clear soprano seemed
stronger than usual She was fully
equal to the trying demands OF the
part.
Miss DeSellem was cast as NADIA
lena and her pure contralto was heard
to excellent advantage both in the
quartet and In the duets with the
duke (Mr. Sheehan), and with Spara-
fuel. The latter role was In the
hands of Francis J. Tyler, and was
exactly suited to his voice. Several
members OF the company were given
an opportunity to show what they
could do, and they rendered capable
service with one or two exceptions.
There were some rough spots, to- be
sure. especially In the first act but
the excellent work OF the principals
in the second and fourth acts more
than made up for these minor de-
fciencies.
''Rigoletto" will be repeated Tues
day and wednesday nights and We'd
nesday matinee. Thursday and FRI
day nights the company will be heard
in a revival of THE Mikado' and the
engagement will close with two per-
formances OF I'll Trovatore," by spe-
cial request. on Saturday.
