Percy Whiting, sporting editor of the

then grabbed car for his home in
time to be there for supper. What's a

what he says about New York is just
about right. Here, read II:
Haven't you always noticed that
when any big event happens in New
York the town becomes a little more
hysterical and overwrought than when
1t happens anywhere else? That's a
town Of superlatives. Nothing every
happens there that's normal. Conse-
quently there have been yelIs and
whoops from the eMtropolis-the ticket
scalpfng has been the worst in the
world, the crowds the largest on the
globe. the playing the most desperate in
history. the weather the most abomina-
Die on record-everything the greatest
the smallest. the best, the worst. or
something superlative. That's New
York. 1t Is unfortunate that all the
unpleasant things have happened in con.
nection with the series. 1t is unfor-
tunate, also. that the worlds series
can't be conducted by the American
League folks. They know how TO do
things. Let the National League peonIe

reasonable time in which to perform

Richardson, 100 Ky. 70. The ques-
tion Of what would be a reasonable
time is one of mixed law and fact to
be left to the jury, under proper in
structions from the court as to the
law. If the defendant would rely on
withdrawal of the land from sale
he must plead it, with notice to the
plaintiff before the purchaser was
produced. Such a defense is in the
nature of confession and avoidance.
In this case the defendant pleads the
agreement which he claims expired
by limitation of time without per-
formance, but does not meet the COM
plant by an averment that he re-
scinded the contract on which the
plaintiff relies. After the expiration

contract was made August IA, 1908,
and provided that if the sale was con-
cluded at $4,000 and the money real
lied thereon by the 18th of that
month, but not thereafter, the defen-
dant would pay the plaintiff $1,000
as commission, but that plaintiff did
not procure a purchaser within the
time or on the terms stipulated.

structions was based on the idea that
the alleged contract between plaintiff
and defendant was wanting in mu-
tuality and not supported by any con-
sideration. 1t is elementary that
where one promises to pay money to
another on performance by the other
of particular thing, lawful in its
nature, mutually of contract exists
because the performance constitutes
consideration for the promise to
pay. The other class of defendants
refused instructions proceeds on the
theory, in support of which there is
some testimony, that the defendant
withdrew the land from sale and so
notified the plaintiff some days before
the latter produced purchaser.

The plaintiff alleges that on Au-

him to effect a sale of 800 acres of
timber land in Marion county at the
price of $4,000, warranting that the
land had thereon 4O,00O,000 feet of
merchantable timber and agreeing to
pay the plaintiff $1,000 for his SER
vices in bringing about the sale, no
specific time being fixed for complet-

10 days thereafter plaintiff did nego-
taite a sale of the property upon
condition that the premises contain
that amount of timber, to be deter
mined by scaling it, and requested
the defendant to allow the purchas-

MADAME
SHERRY
TONIGHT
FROM NEW YORK TO SAN FRAN
CISCO THE STORY is THE
SANIE-"THE BEST MUSICAL
COMEDY OF A GENERATION"

No attraction announced for the
Grand opera house in years has at
tracted the attention now being CEN
tered in the engagement of Madame
Sherry" tonight
For the past few months the air
has been filled with reports Of the
unusual ability Of this big musical
production, which took New York by
storm, and which has Just completed
its triumphant march to the coast,
leaving a trail Of laughing thousands
and vast audiences that had been en-
tranced by the beauty of the produc-
tion and the tunefulness of its music.
From New York to San Francisco
the story has been the same-the
best musical comedy Of the genera
tion. Only four cities along the
coast, from Los Angeles to Portland,
are given the opportunity to see this
big production this season, and each
will doubtless turn out en- masse to
witness this tremendous success.
Madame Sherry" comes here with
that wonderful cast which includes
Oscar Figman, Ann Tasker, Mary
Quive, Lottie Kendall, Cheridah
Simpson, Harry Benham, William
Cameron, Harold Refill, Edward 81
kas, and a score of other musical
comedy celebrities, as well as the
Broadway chorus and special orches-
ira.

specified within which the purchaser
must be produced, the defendant
would have a right to withdraw the
land from sale and thus resclnd the
brokerage contract, but no such case
is made in the answer. The latter
class of instruction requested by the
defendant is good as an abstract
theory, but without the pleading to
sustain them, they were very proper
ly refused.
Conceding, however, that this ques-
tionwas rightly before the court on
the pleadings, there is testimony suf-
ficient to take the case to the jury on
that point. According to the witness
Stewart, the defendant talked to him
about the transaction and said: "I
