Dec. 19. THE LIFE. THE STAGE. MUSIC AND DRAMA. Local Novelties—An Operatic Failure— Harrigan'a New Play— Me Cau H's Illness — Protection for American Actors De manded—The Local Programme News Notes From All Points, and Current Gos sip and Comment. PHILADELPHIA, Saturday, Dec. 15. Two new plays and a new comic opera were the novelties at tbe local theatres during tho past week. "The Fugitive" at the Walnut proved to be a conventional English melodrama. The hero, John Lovell (W. A. Whitecar), thinks he haa killed a man with whom he has had an alterca- tion, and escapes by flight to Australia. He is shipwrecked this scene is the third act is very realistic and startling and returns to England to find that another hand than his had dealt the i'atal blow. The dialogue of the play is notably free from the usual semi-profane expletives of the melodramatic stage, and the absence from the plot of questionable situation was of iteclf a gratifying novelty. The play was strongly cast, ami the scenery notably that of the third act was very fine. Miss E. Long did ewne clever work as Corley Corderoy, and Mr. William Cullington developed some humor as Crackles. The Jasper Ral&i'jh of Mr. James F, Hagan was also a meritorious impersonation, but the rest of the cast did not rise above a level of dull medio- crity. "A Legal "Wreck" at tho Arch achieved a fair degree of success as a melodrama with a pro- nounced comedy element. The scene is laid on tho New England coasts somewhere, not very far from Boston, at the present time, at the home of a retired old soacaptain, one Captain tfdtcard sSmith t who lives with an old shipmate by the name of Mazey, With them lives also the heroine, Olive Gray, who had been entrusted to old Captain Smith when a child by an eccentric individual, who almost immediately thereafter committed suicide. The young woman is be- loved by a young man from Boston, but rather unfortunate for her she is by far too attrac- tive, and the captain's son, a good-for-nothing, worthless scamp, also wants to marry her. The rivalry of these twp lead to many complica- tions, and the endeavors of a«friend of the nice young man from Boston, a young member of the bar, only makes the entanglement apparently more inextricable. However, in the end all is wound up satisfactorily, including the young limb of the law aforesaid. There ia a great deal of good fun, and the parts are well and strongly drawn. Sydney Drew scored a great hit in this, his native city, aud was given several" recalls. Other jrood work waa done by Sidney Smith, Mr. Hudson aud Mrs. House. The alleged comic opera "America," which WHS pro- duced fur the first time on any stage at tlie Academy of Music, ou Moudny night, ia a nit-lunge of musical rot and literary drivel. The plot js inexplicable, the situations are absurd and Jhe lines put in the actors' months ridiculous. A largo but bored audience wit- nessed it. The composer n Erntat Peiler. and the librettist William Augustus Smith, of Wilmiogton. It is cot an opera, neithei is it a play, nor A burlesque, nor anything iu the dramatic Hue. Tho motive of the work appears to be the high-minded and patriotic Idea of characterizing American monopoly as a bar- barous king. Cohimlmmon, the leader of a band of monopolists, is supposed to barter away the rule of America for tbe bestowal of a title of nobility. Bnt the meaning of the author is on the whuly a mere matter of speculation. Throughout the musical treatment of the subject there seems to be an attempt at grand operatic composition. Same of the churusee, a few songs and a portion of the orchestration Is at least interesting, though never strikiLgly orixintU. Tlxe principals of tho cast were William Paul Bown, "Will 8. Rising, Wilier Seaman, Jr., Miss Amy Gordon, Miss Sylvester Cornish, Dan Packard, Misl Leo Lnni. They deserved greater success tiian they could achieve in tbi-i work in its present form. The opeta was with- drawn after two performances, owing to the merciless criticisms of the press and tbe consequent small attend- ance. in hia new play, "The LorgaTre," produced last week *n New York by Edward H«rrigan, tlie author has stepped outside of the local line he has hitherto cou- tined himielf to and took a jump to Ireland. "The Lorgatro ' ia a depiction of life in Ireland, but none of the Harrigan dramas of New York have been fuller of direct and easy fun suitable to appreciation hero. The familiar negroes and Germans were not in it, but there were Irishmen and Iiishwonien in surprising variety, each a clear and distinct type, and nearly all entertaining. "The Lorgaire" was not all jollity and music, however, for about half was intense melodrama, with transposed children,an Innocent man accused ot mur- <k-r, ;tn assaesin going scot free for a time, and a de- tective, with many disguise?, to bring the troth out at last. Mr. Harrigin had fulled several times in such endeavors, and his most unfortunate venture of that kind had been an Irish piece, too. But in this instance a striking improvement iu liiecotnportion, and a more judicious svlection of actors, enabled him to triumph. .New Hiu^ic by David Bran am WHS much above his re- cent average in melody, and some of the boys in the gallery complimented it by whistling some of tho more easily caught airs between tbe a eta. "Checkered Life," which will be -presented at the Ka 1'jiisl Theatre this week, is a thrilling representa- tion ot Western life, which isrendered doubly interest- ing by the bits of realism with which the m%ny inter- esting scones ore presented. The plot, while filled with sensationalism, is founded on actual incidents of life in the far West, and given a glimpse of the mining camp and ca'.tle ranches as they really exist. There is also A vein of rich comedy running through tho play and nt times the fun is uproarious. Among tho many sensational scenes are an original bowie knife combat, v.hich i* presented in very thrill- ing style. There are several very clever murk a men amout; the company, who give a wonderful display of skill with the ritln and revolver. Four trait:o<I horses are introduced and thoy perform thfiir difficult parts wtth almost human intelligence ami without Ur or far! 'le. George E. Akins, who appears in the leading role, is a very clever actor iu eensntioual roles and also a ring rider aud remarkable ehot. Miss Croliin, who takes tbe part of lleclde^ Nell, ia a charming ctreur, whose performance ia full of d.teh-And spirit. Iu cbe third act a ppleudid exhibition of sharp b hoot- ing i^ given. The company is one of the bsat on tbe road and is suro to attract crowded bouses. The Christmas holiday attraction at the National »ill be the late=t and greatest ot Oliver Byron's plays, entitled "The Upper Hand." Tho Jersey City Argus save: "Mr. Oliver Byrou is the life (.f tho play. He Is perfectly tplenctid in the different phases of bis char- ftcU-r as Happy Jack Lurnar, Convict Jack. Wanderer J.irl; M'id Jack and llotttft Jack. Misa Kate Byron ali-o inakrs a good impression as Mnud Lnmnrt Jack's trite hearted wife. The "Ligbta o! London" is tbe Ke\v Year card at the National. At the Grand Opera Hou*e Monday night there will l»c thy firstiiramatic performance that lia-t been offered to the patrons of this popular and hand^onift theatre, mid tlte e tut will crcnte no littlo inteiest. Tho mil al dramatic production at this house will bo nlso the first performance in Philadelphia of the now romantic AmetKflu melodrama "Among the Piiios," by W. It. and-.I. I*. Wilson. This p|«y is already recognized as auto-nil tho leading 8ncce.*bea of the present theatrical Reat-x-n, iind has muds a crtic.il, os well as a popular, uncross in Boston mid New York. The principal scenes are laid in tho pine fores's of Maine, which give op- I-ortiiijity fi r much picturesque scent-iy and for many real:st:c effect?, v hi-:h are heightened by Hie fuel that th« amhtorinni will be sctnted wiih the odor of pines fur each performance. The fiiory con'alns many thrilling incidents and ecenes of homo life and local coloring, which make it Biuii'ar i;i motive to *'The Old Ilojiiestf ad. 1 ' There ure sevnriil elever rtrm^riy scenes and much taking iii- cidi-ntal mii»ic, by Fni&k Huds.m and Finl'-y S.

ThU is a clever way of adding lo the realism of the scenes in tbe pine (oreads of Main*-, wher« tha story of thia dram* is laid. which Manager Fleishm&n will then make known lo our public at the Walnut Street Th«atre. This fine play is nemi-operatlc in its nature, and Us beautiful musical score waa written by W. W. J'urgt, the well- known San Francisco compoKr. Mr. Gillett« baa ia the main followed Haggard's great novel, but he hu introduced a strong comedy element, which will prove highly enjoyable. His dramatization U en- tirely different from the play of the same namo pro- duced in this city last season, and far superior to it fn everyway. There will be massive and magnificent scenery from the brush of Philip Goatcher, marvellous mechanical and electric light effects, and costumes un- surpassed for elegance and picturesque ness. Everything will be complete even to the most minute details. One h mid rod peoplo appear in the various marches aud tableaux, and there is a chorus of 48 selected from tiie Amorlctin Opera Co. filias Laura Clement, a statuesque English beauty, is She, and her lir.peisonatton of the rolo has been greotly admired. Mis* Tellula Evans, Miss Rose Snjder, William S. Uurkln*, M. B.SuyJer, Charles Bowst-r, Maurlcw Pike, H. W. Frilluian and other able performers are in the cast, and the ensemble rendition lasaid to bo thoroughly artistic and enjoyable. Glllette'a "She" has recently scored pronounced triumphs in New York and Boston, and that it will do well here is already foreshadowed by the large advance sale of seats. AU 'who relish a grand spectacle should eee ft. As his Christmas and New Year's attraction at the Walnut, Manager Fleischman announces W. J. Scan- Ion, the popular Irish comedian and vocalist, in hi* ne\v play,~"Myles Aroon," which will have its first production on ouy stage on Christmas eve. "Myles Aroon" is a strong and highly amusing Irish drama, the plot aud main incidents of which were suggested to the authors, Jessop and Townsend, by Augustus Pi ton, Scan Ion's able and energetic manager. Bcanlon is furnished with an excellent character in the shape of a merry young Irishman, which fits him like a glo^e aud in which Manager Pitou predicts that he will make tbe bit of bis life. Col. McOanll's many friends were shocked to learn the other (fay that he had been suffering for afew days f/Oui a Blight stroke of paralysis. The attack cuuie npou him <wrly l*3t week, just as he was leaving Chi- cago to come to New York on a matter of important business. It affected his facial muscles, and also had something of an tuflueuce upon bia speech. For sev- eral days be was hardly able to talk without hesitating and stammering tJ a marked degree. The stroke is believed to have had a direct connection with tho con- cussion sustained by Col. McCaull last winter, when he fell iu a Chicago street and 'broke one of hia legs. It is believed, however, that he will entirely recover from the present attack, and no recurrence of tho difficulty is likely to make itself known if he follows the orders of tbe physicians iu regard to his mode of life. Here are some interesting local dotlets: Frankford, Germantowu and Camde.n are all clamoring for regu- lar theatres of their own.........It i**aid a New York manager wants to open a grand musce here.........The New Standard expecta to make a great hit with "Run- ning Wild," which will be brought out as a New Year attraction.........Philadelphia manttgera are complain- ing of Ihe free list, which, they say, has grown ab- normally lurgp, and they think of instituting heroic measures of reduction.........The National is making great preparations for "The Upper Hand," Oliver Byron's latest play.........Manager Powers has con- cluded not to enter Into the scheme with Manager Fleishman, of the Walnut Street Theatre, and the lat- ter will go it alone. It is said that the "powerful actress" whom Man- ager Chase is trying to secure to support Edwin Booth next season is Muie. Modjeska, and that negotiations are now being pnshed to purchase her releasa from the run tract entered Into with Nixon and Zimmerman, of this city, for a starring tour next year. Modje^ka's Ophelia to Booth's Uainlet would certainly prove a strong attraction. Inventing "bnlls'' by way of jokes on his Irish friends was not an uncommon pastime with Kichard Briusley Sheridan. HU staj<o manager, Michael Ki-lly, was a frequent sufferer from this kind of wag- gery. Kelly met with quite an alarming accident on tho stage one night. Tue Duchess of Devonshire, who had been ut the theatre, askod Sheridan if Kelly's hurt waa dangerous. "Not in the least," waa the reply; (LI have just left him very well and in good spirits; but he has been putting this very puzzling question to m^: 'Suppose, Mr. Sheridan, I had been killed by the fall; who would have maintained ma the reet of my life?' " The Duff Opera Company promise a great produc- tl'ti of "A Trip to Africa" at the GranU Opera House Christinas week and thU cannot Tall to prove a strong ttrnrtl'ii at the Grand Opera Honte. Hubcrt'Wilke, the favorite barilouc, wlto was for f-omo seasons one of the most p>pular members of the JHcCauU Opera Conu'iny, will be a leading feature in the cast uf tbie per*. One of the strongest attractions announced for Mon- day uight is Giltetti's spectacular production of "jhe," Once when a now opera was put on at Drury Lane Kelly was assigned to perform an Irish character. His friend Johustf>ne was at great pains to instruct him in the brogue, for despite the fact tbat he was a Dublin man he hadn't a suspicion of the rich roll that udiiaU> makes the speech of the educated DuMiaite so musical. When the performance \VRS over Slu-ndan came- into the green room, slappeJ him cordially on th6*~DarKrrAB-iL (*aid: "Bravo, Kelly! Very well, indeed. Ui'on my honor f n«fpr~-ihgafd you speak puch good English in all my life/' "^ -. Macn-ady had a positive abhorrence of redundant gesture, rend once said to the elder Wollack: "My dear \ValIack, you are naturally graceful; I am not. I know tbat in gesture I do not excel, and facial expres- sion is what I principally depend upoa. In fact, I ab- solutely make Sirs. Macroady tie my hands behind my back while I practice before a large glass and watch the face." "Well, Mucready," replied Wailack, "I suppose that Is all very good; but did you ever try it with your-legs lied?" F.dward Weitzel and F. Stowart Isham, of Detroit, have contracted with il'lle Ithea to write for her a ploy. It will be an adaptation from the French, and is to bo finished by Feb. 1, 1839. The authors h«ve the work well In hand, the first act being completed and the remainder of the play outlined. HMie Rhaa is enthusiastic over the new piece and she proposes, if it proves siiccossfu', to pro-luce it iu Detroit this sea- son. Mr. Weit/.el ia in Cleveland thia week still at work on the task of rewriting Edwin 1\ Mayo's "Silver Age." Tho Bosten Pout, a con-orvative authority In dra- matic matters, makes this significant not to «ay amaz- ing assertion: "Miss Slarlo-wo is now infinitely be- yond Miss Amlerwu after years of experience, end unless the Utter has learned something more during her lust visit to London than to speak English rather than Kentnckian, bh« is not yet capable of sustaining a comparison with her younger competitor. More than thii, Miss Marlowe is a better Viola than Misa Keilson was when ahe fir^t appeared in this country." The American actor haa taken a'arm at Ihe inva- sion of the theatres of tho United States by the ever- iucreaslnp: army of Euglish nud European foot light nriiet*. Louis Aldrich, Harley Merry, ami Lewis M. San^or, a committee'representing tho Actor's Order of friendship, appeared before tho Ford Investigating Committee, at \Va-»hinp'on, on Thursday, and asked that the contract labor be amende 1 so as to include professional actors and musicians among the classes prohibited from entering tho United States under a lab>r contract. At present the law specially exempts actor? and musicians from its provisions. Under this exemption the committee said that large numbers of foreign actors were annually brought to this country for the sole reason thai tliey won Id work cheaper than American actors. The money obtained was not spent here, but was taken back to the countries whence they came when their engagement was at an end. They did not, tho committee paid, object to the pres- ence of stars like Irving, Ccquelin, Patti end others, but to tho host of minor actors they brought with thorn, and to the cheap grade of foreign actors whom American managers imported solely because of their cheapness. The average pay of the American actor, the commit- tee claimed, wa* §40 a week for a season averaging twenty-six weeks, while tho average weekly j-ay of the English actor was only $16. The American actora were the equals of 'heir foreign brethren in every re- spect. Many of the American actors had served tlie country during tho »var, and they all contributed to the prosperity of the country. Their profession was already overcrowded, and they thought themselves fairly entitled to protection against the wholesale im- portation of cheap actors who were under no obliga- tions to the Uni ed State?. Mary Anderson, they de- clared, had brought her whole company, supers, siage mechanics and all, from Knglttnd, because she could hire them cheaper than Americans. The Kiralfys had for the sime^ftHfion imported ail their ballet girls, act- ors and stage people, mid the stine thing was true of the burlesque show "Monte Cristo, Jr.," now running in New York City. The committee farther complained that the ward- robes, stage properties end scenery were all imported, contrary to the law, without the payment of customs duties and to the harm of Americans dealing in these these tilings. This was done, tho committee declared, through the ballot girls and others falsely swearing that the, wardrobes and other properties were their personal effects. Messrc. Ford and Ouenther a-snred Mr. Aldrich that bis petition would receive prompt at- tention. "It seemed just and equitable," said Mr. Ford, "and it would certainly be carefully considered." Apropos of this a New York paper quotes a well- known actor and manager as saying: "English actors are becoming more popular in America simply because th«y ere reliable, and are not bothering the managers continually to print their names in the big- gest type known to the world. Men like Joseph llaworth and Kben Plympton are good actors, but they are infatuated with tht-Ir names. It has been proved time ami Hgain that neither Haworth nor Ply rapt on is strong enough to carry a play unaided nor bring in money enough in the box office to pay their extravagant densauds for salary; yet they keep on iucreasing-their rates regularly with each failure. A short time ago Plympton was offered the position of leading man to a well-known woman star, and he Rai-l that he would accept the position at a salary of $400 a week if it was guaranteed that his name should appear in the same s : ze type as the actress* did when- ever it appeared. The actress subsequently got a man for 860 a week who in giving excellent satisfaction. Plympton is idle, as bo has been for a year or moie, except during short spurts. Haworth f-lipped up on 'Philip Hemp.' Then he went to Chicago, where he appeared in the 'Bells of HUeleniere,' but d d not score success. He was stranded, and a manager In Boston telegraphed him for bis terms for a week's engage- ment there in support of an actress. Mr. Haworth's terms were $350 aud expenses. Men of this stamp de- mand more money with every failure. This effort to push themselves ahead ie general among leading men In America, and ft is acting aa a boomerang, because managers are now realizing that they can save a great deal of money, to say nothing of brain wear tail printer's ink, by bringing capable aod cooaclentlotu men over from England."

Eugene Carter, in many respects, is one of the most remarkable men that billiards has ever produced in this country. He has been promi- nently identified with billiards in this country as an expert tor many years past. In the days when rival manufacturers gave tournaments, Carter was admitted as one of the rising young experts of this country. Carter, however, odd as it may seem, has never been connected with any party, clique or ring in the business. This may be owing to his love of perfect freedom, to his love of entire independence, to his desire for loading a sort of bohemian life, or it may be the result of hatred of being tied down which would necessitate a sort of slave's Ufa which is evidently not congenial to a man of his temperament. At all events it is certain that when the boss element gained the mastery of American bil- liards as has been the case during the past fire or six years, Carter found himself one of the ostracized experts who could neither enter tour- naments nor engage in professional contests for love or money. What did he do? DitMxe retire in disgust and resolve to be even, not only with the calling but with the world at large, by leading a sort of tramp's life, by being a bar-room sot or a mere vender of his own game, experience and opinion, ever ready to sell the same to the highest bidder in the market? Not at all. Eugene Carter is no such man. He fought his enemies with the weapons of a thoroughly honeat man through the col- umns of tho newepuuer presi of this country. It is true that In doing so he has been the subject of much ridicule by the blackmailing or hush-moLey organs, but there is not a clean sporting journal in this country to-day that cau truthfully statd that Carter's recora is not only a credit to himself, tut to the calling which he represents with s>.> much honor. It is a long Une tha' Ims no turning, and at last the turning point iu the professional life of Eugene Carter has been reached. For this turning point Mr. Carter la indebted to Jacob Schaeier and Thonris Foley, and the once ostracized, banis'ied and scofl'ed-at experf, Carter, now finds nimself in tho front rank of America's most honored experts. In the midst of all this glory, however, Mr. Carter does not see01 to be either satisfied or happy, and actually talks of challenging Jacob Schaefer to pUy a mutch game at cushion-caroms for 91,000 a side. It is true that this ia Mr. Carter's prerogative, and it may seem some what presumptuous to criticise him fur doing so when \ve romombcr the fact that Schaefer ia the only man in this country who is likely to play hitu, f-jt the bosses would not play hint, even at the obsolete push shot, unless guaianteed a certainty, while it is almost certain that the bosses would now engage in a contest at shuffle-b .ard, providing they were to receive their little fee in the shape of a guar- antee. Nor should Carter be judged harshly in his honest and honorable desire to down so illustrious au expert as Schaefer. That Carter would make it ex- ceedingly interesting, if not hot, even for Schaefer at cushion-caroms seonn to be the opinion of the most critical of critics in this country to-day. Conceding, however, that Carter is ablo to defeat Schaiffer at ciishioa-caroins, h*s it ever occurred to Mr. Carter that in playing the game of cuali ion-chrome in preference to any other, that he is not only keep- ing alive tho boss element, bnt "putting a rod in pickle" with which to lash himself. Doe* not Carter know tbat cushion-carom* is the only game that (he bosses can play at the present day, or, fur the matter of that, have been able to play fur years past? It is tiue that, strictly speaking, there is but one boss who cau even play cuebion-catoms. Is it clear, however, that thia one boss cannot continue to boss future tour- naments in tho Eust as he bns clone for years past, and thus boss such experts as Carter out of (he touroa- mi'u's of the futuro aa he has in the past, us lonj as such experts as C.irter sha'l give life and vitality tj cushion-caroms by insisting ou playing that game? Tbat a contest at cusluou-carmns for 81,000 a side between Scliaoferand C.trtiT would command national interest no one will question. That such a contest for tlie time beiug would stimulate billiards is equally true. In the end, however, billiards would Le the loser for the simple reason that it would bo furnishing tbe bosses with ammunition with which tj defeat buch experts as Carter in the future as tlioy hnve in the past. Carter's only course to pursue in the present, if indeed not in the future, is to abnjish cushion-caroms absolutely. This will !>« no sacrific-* or detriment to so gifted a master of billiards as Carter, who can really play one game almost as well as .the other. W ith the b >s§es, however, it in entirely different. Cushion-caroms is the only game they can piay even indifferently. Des- troy that game and the boia element will no ifrnfeiT JH a JIIMH to pulVimih At1 vrta t»'miHpfe.^uh rflai their services a« experts will not be in demand. This, it i^ true, is rough OQ tho game of cushion-caroms, which, in our opinion, is one of th>3 most beautiful game* that can be played on a billiard table. The time f"r sentiment in billiard-*, however, is pa*t. Some sacrifice moat be made for the benefit of billiards at large, and as the lots e'emont will make no sacri- fice for tue game, bnt sacrifice everything rather than the power of the bosi element, war must n*>w be de- clured on cushion-caroms until cuphiou-caroms and tho boss element are buried BO deep in the same grave that there can be no future hope for their resurrection. SIMON WASP. FRANK O. IVES. The Young: Man's Future Outlook as an Kxperr. Ives' general play, or indeed, his play in general, has been a general disappointment in the Chicago tournament. This is all the more to bo regretted when it is remembered that Ives spent a season about a year ago under the tui- tion of that illustrious master of the game, Geo. F, Slosson, and that Mr. Slosson predicted then that it was only a question of time until Ives would rank among the foremost experts of this country, if not tho world. That Ives has much to be thankful for, for the incalculable advantage of a season's experience in the Slosson school of billiards may not appear patent to Mr. Ives at present, but it most assuredly wili later on, for if there was anything vicious in tho character of Iven, which we have as yet to learn to be the case, no man in the business was more calculated to squelch tbat viciousncss than that most polished gentleman, Geo. F. Slosson. Ives' next stroke of good fortune was in being asso- ciated with Thomas F. Foley during the early part of the present season. Foley was an ex- pert at the cue when most of us were either g^in? to school or studying tiur catechism at home, For half a generation past at least Mr. Foloy haa only bt-ea known in the business as one of the most distin- guished businessmen in the calling. This was the second stroke of good 1 nek for young Ives incoming iu contact with such a tti>',n as Fo'ev, uud to cap the climax of Ives' luck he i* now under the fostering wing of Jacob Schaefer, whore he will havo the ad- vantage of being instructed by the greatest player that billiards has ever produced. It may be argued, and no doubt will be, that Ives should bave ruiida a better record in the recent tourna- ment. To such an argument it might be well to re- member, however, that while Schaofor ranks to-day as tho foremost expert in the world, he played so indifferently, or had so little reputation in 187G, tbat he was not admitted in tho great Cen- tennial tournament of tbat year. Sexton was t!ieu tho star expert of the day, and his performance, no less than his general bearing, was such as to make him im- mortal as a master ex pi-it for all time. The story of what haa followed the Centennial tournament, as far as it relates to Schaeior, should not be for- gotten by Ives, even if it flavor* of ancient history to this very young expert. No, Ivei lias not done badly iu the Chicago tournament. Tho folly was in expect- ing mi possibilities of an expert who is fit present suf- fering from being ahead of his time. His day is yet to come, and if he due* not show up at the proper time it will not bo the fault of Slossun, Foley or Schaefer, but the fault of Frank C. Ives alone. Schaefer's New Field. CHICAGO, De?. 13. Editor SPORTING LIFE: In my letter of yesterday I gave you briefly some of the reasons why the tournament was so marked a success. At the present writing there is but one opinion, and that is that the whole affair was a step in the right direction to elevate the surroundings of billiard tournaments and contests. Nothing else is talked of in billiard circles hefe, especially of the exhibitions of fancy shots given by that incomparable expert, ShalFer, who has now proved himself to be very much more useful to the profession in general, but room-keepers in particular, than ever be- fore. With the aid of Schaefer as an exhibition player the success of any well-managed tourna- ment in any part of the country is assured. The public will flock night after night to, witness the magic of his cue, as they did here for two w eeks. Kvery performance cau rely on a new programme with such a man as Schaefer. There are more than a dozt'ti cities iu this country where the game, change! to the ci^ht-iuch hulk-lino, could give louruatneuu certain of financial success with Schaefer to give his fancy shut exhibitions. Two or three of these tour- naments should be held annually to stimulate the game throughout the com.try. As an illustration, & year ngo when a handicap tour- nament WHS given at the sume theatre, the managers started with $300 entrance money and ?250 given by the BrunMvick-Balke-Colleuder Co. Sehaefer, Slos- ton and Carter wore among the experts as drawing cards, yet the receipts were bnt some ¥200. This tour- iiameut had to be handicapped to make plaveia even. It had one plaver wbo outmatched the real in public estimation thirty percent,, which trenied to make it an uninteresting one-sided aflxir. Yet the public took to balk-line billiards, aud Schaefer's exhibition* and the receipt* which ran behind a year »g>> with the ad- vantages referred to, will now auia up considerably over $400, and had the linea been drawn at eight Inches instead of fourteen, the receipts would probably have been forty per cent, more, as (he slowness of tbe opening game seriously affectoi the entire tournament. There is but one titan In this country who can ^lay 14-iuch UlU-lice billiards, inch as to Interest the spectator, and that man Is Jacob Schaefer. N. THE CHICAGO TOURNAMENT. The Final Games—Complete Record of the Contests—The Brilliant Wind-Up. Although the final result was given in our last issue, as well as the results of all the games played, the full scores of the contests were only received up to Wednesday, 5th inst., and these scores are herewith given. On Wednesday, Dec. 5, the public was treated to a surprise, Hat- ley beatiug Gallagher. The North Sider was in splendid form and played beautiful billiarJs. Hatley made an average uf nearly ten, and gave two splendid exhibi- tions of balk-nursing. H. W. Cornell was referee.

Ives was equal to the emergency, and by steady ploddiog bended Carter In the sevtuth inning. After that, however, Carter slowly drew ahead and finally got the balls into poaltion for a run of S7, which saw the game out.

The second game was by far the l>e-t of tbe tourna- ment. The contestants were William Catton and Henry Rhino?. The pace was t rriflc. Rhines struggled manfully. Ho olayed strong billiards, but couldn't km-p up with the quarter-boras gait that Cut- ton had. Catton run the gum?! out In the fourteenth innine, maktng the largest average of the tournament.

The attendance at tbo evening game was unu-ually large. The first g-iuie was between GaUagher and Moulds, it was a long-winded affuir and absolutely devoid of enthusiasm. GaUagher played a safety game throughout, while the balls rolled stubbornly for his opponent. Gallagher 2. 2, 2. 0, 0, 2, 0,11, 2,11,15, 0, 20, 4. 0. 0,19, 2, 0, 13, U, 3, 11, 15, 0, 0, 20, 20, 17.

Carter made live missed in the flrlt sevtn innings, Canton in the meantime making the b^ils chime for 40 buttons. Carter finally humped himself aud repewted his performance ot the pre- vious evening by running tho gumo out. The score: Carter 1,18, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 41, 0, 0, 32, 25, 77.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12 Editor SPORTING LIFK: Tho Ilrruld of this city bat consented to became the perma- nent stakeholder for all coufedt* fir the championship of Iho 14-inch balk-lino tournament, which has jnat closed in this city. It is Imped here that the co&tutt haa advanced tho best interebts of billinrds in all purls of the country. That the Uniruatnent has bftu ,»( great benefit to billiards in thia city is beyond *ti.y doubt. After paying all tbe tournament expenses the mnnagers, Messrs. Foley and S.hneter, will have about fcXJU to divide iu cash prizes Hinune the players. This excellent cash showing was only made possible through tho indomitable plm-k and genius of Schaefer, whoso exhibitions between tho ffanaps during the en- tire tournament were marvels of brilliancy aud execu- tion and were the talk of the entire town in (jillmrd circles. Schaefer had new ohota every nia;ht and lit- erally astonished those who imagined that they were familiar with all that the ''Wizird" had done in tho past and did not deem it possible for him to present anything new in the futnre. The fact is, there is n^i limit to Schaefer's genias when he is at the billiard table. Next In or«ler were thfl generous newspaper men who entered into this business heart and ^ul from the very first. These men, together with the experts, were determined tu make tbe tournament u thor- oughly cleau and honest affair in all of its surrownd- infifl, giving to the managunu-nt all the aid that could be hoped lor, while to the experts must fall a large share of success of the enterprise. Foley Is loud in hia praise of the magnificeut conduct of the players, aud declares that during his professional life as manager aud iu various ways connected with t-jurnameuts and contests that he never encountered a more gentle- manly lot of experts. There WHS not a single expert present who at any time raised tho slightest objection, duriQK the two weeks' scries of games, while the ex- I»erld were not only always promptly on hand to keep tbeir eogaijements, but a single panic had not ta be changed after the original or first schedule was made out. N. THE MASTER AT WORK. Schaefer Beats the Tournament Winner, Even With a Big Handicap. On Saturday, Dec. 8, Jacob bchaefer played and beat Carter, the winner of the tournament, Schaefer playing 600 to Carter's 400. During tbe tournament it was arranged for Schaefer to play tho winner. Had Gallagher como out in tho lead he wcuIJ have played tho Wizard 300 to 600j had Catton been the lucky man he would have played 400 to Jake's 800 at the eight-inch balk-lino, but Carter asked for a con- cession of 33J per cent, at the fourteen-inch came. Carter never had such a chance to beat Sehaefer, and it is questionable if he ever will Jigiio, us Jake i/layed iu his poorest form, his average falling far short of ('nrtot's best tour- nament avera'ge. Carter was nervous and ex- cited throughout the contest. He appeared to want to wiu very badly, Imt was um-qnal to the task, fc'chnefer's play ^a'jked very little of its accus- tomed brilliancy, his position ktay wiis just ,is m*e- tnrl> and draw* and nllsse^ as ustmi-jhitig «ntl ap- plause-provoking ;ie ever, but bis intervals of cHrcle-s- ueea played hob with his avuiage. Ills luns of 82 iu Die sixth itilling, 41 in the eleventh, 09 in the thirteenth, and particularly his unbroken 79, were like Schaefer and brought out all the beauties of tiis incomparable stylo of cxrcu'.lon. Kvtrv eeconj shot in his last run was greeted with R salvo of nppUuse. It was in Itself a comprehensive expose of all tho possibilities of balk-lino billiards. Every draw, masse and drive, made off-hind, was a study for an expert, while his nurso which carried him along so fitst that Cnftiley Matthews almost got his tongue Bprtuaed calling off the poiots WAS as neat a thing as the old connoiseura ever eaw. Jake broke up tho position whoa he bad two to go, thinking he had finished the came. Thia WHS not a misfortune, as it gave him a chance to execute two spreads that brought down tho house. There were 332 bmton.1 on Carter's string, the earnings of 4ti in- nings, when the marker called game. Frank Rice, re- feree.

It was decided that the dog show should be given during the week immediately preceding that of the similar exhibition in the Madison Square Garden, New York, in February, ani that it should lust four days. It was stated in tho course of the discussion over the matter that it would be undoubtedly a success, inasmuch na between eight and nine hundred canines would be entered in the competitions for prizes. The Bergh resolution, however, was laid on the table, though only after a Ions? and spirited debate, in whioh President Peshall warmly de- fended the course he bad taken. He was sec- oncleti1 uy two or three ol tue governors o club, but the majority waa against him, and that settled it. ft is understood that one reason for the action taken by the governors was that word b&d been conveyed indirectly to them that August Bel- mo Qt, Jr., tho president of the Heuipstead Coursing Club, and who is also, by the way, the president of the American Kenne! Club, of which the Jersey City Kennel Ciubis a member, intended to give up rabbit coursing or baiting. That was held to indicate that no action by the Jersey people was neceessary. Kennel Notes.

Local Novelties—An Operatic Failure— Harrigan'a New Play— Me Cau H's Illness — Protection for American Actors De­ manded—The Local Programme News Notes From All Points, and Current Gos­ sip and Comment.PHILADELPHIA, Saturday, Dec. 15. Two new

plays and a new comic opera were the novelties at tbe local theatres during tho past week. "The Fugitive" at the Walnut proved to be a conventional English melodrama. The hero, John Lovell (W. A. Whitecar), thinks he haa killed a man with whom he has had an alterca­ tion, and escapes by flight to Australia. He is shipwrecked this scene is the third act is very realistic and startling and returns to England to find that another hand than his had dealt the i'atal blow. The dialogue of the play is notably free from the usual semi-profane expletives of the melodramatic stage, and the absence from the plot of questionable situation was of iteclf a gratifying novelty. The play was strongly cast, ami the scenery notably that of the third act was very fine. Miss E. Long did ewne clever work as Corley Corderoy, and Mr. William Cullington developed some humor as Crackles. The Jasper Ral&i'jh of Mr. James F, Hagan was also a meritorious impersonation, but the rest of the cast did not rise above a level of dull medio­ crity.

"A Legal "Wreck" at tho Arch achieved a fair degree of success as a melodrama with a pro­ nounced comedy element. The scene is laid on tho New England coasts somewhere, not very far from Boston, at the present time, at the home of a retired old soacaptain, one Captain tfdtcard sSmith t who lives with an old shipmate by the name of Mazey, With them lives also the heroine, Olive Gray, who had been entrusted to old Captain Smith when a child by an eccentric individual, who almost immediately thereafter committed suicide. The young woman is be­ loved by a young man from Boston, but rather unfortunate for her she is by far too attrac­ tive, and the captain's son, a good-for-nothing, worthless scamp, also wants to marry her. The rivalry of these twp lead to many complica­ tions, and the endeavors of a«friend of the nice young man from Boston, a young member of the bar, only makes the entanglement apparently more inextricable. However, in the end all is wound up satisfactorily, including the young limb of the law aforesaid. There ia a great deal of good fun, and the parts are well and strongly drawn. Sydney Drew scored a great hit in this, his native city, aud was given several" recalls. Other jrood work waa done by Sidney Smith, Mr. Hudson aud Mrs. House.

The alleged comic opera "America," which WHS pro­ duced fur the first time on any stage at tlie Academy of Music, ou Moudny night, ia a nit-lunge of musical rot and literary drivel. The plot js inexplicable, the situations are absurd and Jhe lines put in the actors' months ridiculous. A largo but bored audience wit­ nessed it. The composer n Erntat Peiler. and the librettist William Augustus Smith, of Wilmiogton. It is cot an opera, neithei is it a play, nor A burlesque, nor anything iu the dramatic Hue. Tho motive of the work appears to be the high-minded and patriotic Idea of characterizing American monopoly as a bar­ barous king. Cohimlmmon, the leader of a band of monopolists, is supposed to barter away the rule of America for tbe bestowal of a title of nobility. Bnt the meaning of the author is on the whuly a mere matter of speculation. Throughout the musical treatment of the subject there seems to be an attempt at grand operatic composition. Same of the churusee, a few songs and a portion of the orchestration Is at least interesting, though never strikiLgly orixintU. Tlxe principals of tho cast were William Paul Bown, "Will 8. Rising, Wilier Seaman, Jr., Miss Amy Gordon, Miss Sylvester Cornish, Dan Packard, Misl Leo Lnni. They deserved greater success tiian they could achieve in tbi-i work in its present form. The opeta was with­ drawn after two performances, owing to the merciless criticisms of the press and tbe consequent small attend­ ance.

in hia new play, "The LorgaTre," produced last week *n New York by Edward H«rrigan, tlie author has stepped outside of the local line he has hitherto cou- tined himielf to and took a jump to Ireland. "The Lorgatro ' ia a depiction of life in Ireland, but none of the Harrigan dramas of New York have been fuller of direct and easy fun suitable to appreciation hero. The familiar negroes and Germans were not in it, but there were Irishmen and Iiishwonien in surprising variety, each a clear and distinct type, and nearly all entertaining.

"The Lorgaire" was not all jollity and music, however, for about half was intense melodrama, with transposed children,an Innocent man accused ot mur- <k-r, ;tn assaesin going scot free for a time, and a de­ tective, with many disguise?, to bring the troth out at last. Mr. Harrigin had fulled several times in such endeavors, and his most unfortunate venture of that kind had been an Irish piece, too. But in this instance a striking improvement iu liiecotnportion, and a more judicious svlection of actors, enabled him to triumph. .New Hiu^ic by David Bran am WHS much above his re­ cent average in melody, and some of the boys in the gallery complimented it by whistling some of tho more easily caught airs between tbe a eta.

"Checkered Life," which will be -presented at the Ka 1'jiisl Theatre this week, is a thrilling representa­ tion ot Western life, which isrendered doubly interest­ ing by the bits of realism with which the m%ny inter­ esting scones ore presented. The plot, while filled with sensationalism, is founded on actual incidents of life in the far West, and given a glimpse of the mining camp and ca'.tle ranches as they really exist. There is also A vein of rich comedy running through tho play and nt times the fun is uproarious.

Among tho many sensational scenes are an original bowie knife combat, v.hich i* presented in very thrill­ ing style. There are several very clever murk a men amout; the company, who give a wonderful display of skill with the ritln and revolver. Four trait:o<I horses are introduced and thoy perform thfiir difficult parts wtth almost human intelligence ami without Ur or far! 'le. George E. Akins, who appears in the leading role, is a very clever actor iu eensntioual roles and also a ring rider aud remarkable ehot. Miss Croliin, who takes tbe part of lleclde^ Nell, ia a charming ctreur, whose performance ia full of d.teh-And spirit. Iu cbe third act a ppleudid exhibition of sharp b hoot­ ing i^ given. The company is one of the bsat on tbe road and is suro to attract crowded bouses.

The Christmas holiday attraction at the National »ill be the late=t and greatest ot Oliver Byron's plays, entitled "The Upper Hand." Tho Jersey City Argus save: "Mr. Oliver Byrou is the life (.f tho play. He Is perfectly tplenctid in the different phases of bis char- ftcU-r as Happy Jack Lurnar, Convict Jack. Wanderer J.irl; M'id Jack and llotttft Jack. Misa Kate Byron ali-o inakrs a good impression as Mnud Lnmnrt Jack's trite hearted wife. The "Ligbta o! London" is tbe Ke\v Year card at the National.

At the Grand Opera Hou*e Monday night there will l»c thy firstiiramatic performance that lia-t been offered to the patrons of this popular and hand^onift theatre, mid tlte e tut will crcnte no littlo inteiest. Tho mil al dramatic production at this house will bo nlso the first performance in Philadelphia of the now romantic AmetKflu melodrama "Among the Piiios," by W. It. and-.I. I*. Wilson. This p|«y is already recognized as auto-nil tho leading 8ncce.*bea of the present theatrical Reat-x-n, iind has muds a crtic.il, os well as a popular, uncross in Boston mid New York. The principal scenes are laid in tho pine fores's of Maine, which give op- I-ortiiijity fi r much picturesque scent-iy and for many real:st:c effect?, v hi-:h are heightened by Hie fuel that th« amhtorinni will be sctnted wiih the odor of pines fur each performance.

The fiiory con'alns many thrilling incidents and ecenes of homo life and local coloring, which make it Biuii'ar i;i motive to *'The Old Ilojiiestf ad.1 ' There ure sevnriil elever rtrm^riy scenes and much taking iii- cidi-ntal mii»ic, by Fni&k Huds.m and Finl'-y S.

A novel leihstic effect will be found in tho introduction of a saw aiiii in full operation, \vh : ch is quite a unique piece of 6lttj<e realism.

In the second act an old log ecliool liou.46 will lie seen, with a bevy of merry chil­ dren.

The ¥H.-:t Hiiditgriuui of the Grand Opera House will to sct-n'ol wiih Ihf fragrant odor of piut-s Mond-iy Bight and throughout tli** week. ThU is a clever way of adding lo the realism of the scenes in tbe pine (oreads of Main*-, wher« tha story of thia dram* is laid.

which Manager Fleishm&n will then make known lo our public at the Walnut Street Th«atre. This fine play is nemi-operatlc in its nature, and Us beautiful musical score waa written by W. W. J'urgt, the well- known San Francisco compoKr. Mr. Gillett« baa ia the main followed Haggard's great novel, but he hu introduced a strong comedy element, which will prove highly enjoyable. His dramatization U en­ tirely different from the play of the same namo pro­ duced in this city last season, and far superior to it fn everyway. There will be massive and magnificent scenery from the brush of Philip Goatcher, marvellous mechanical and electric light effects, and costumes un­ surpassed for elegance and picturesque ness.

Everything will be complete even to the mostminute details. One h mid rod peoplo appear in the various marches aud tableaux, and there is a chorus of 48 selected from tiie Amorlctin Opera Co. filias Laura Clement, a statuesque English beauty, is She, and her lir.peisonatton of the rolo has been greotly admired. Mis* Tellula Evans, Miss Rose Snjder, William S. Uurkln*, M. B.SuyJer, Charles Bowst-r, Maurlcw Pike, H. W. Frilluian and other able performers are in the cast, and the ensemble rendition lasaid to bo thoroughly artistic and enjoyable. Glllette'a "She" has recently scored pronounced triumphs in New York and Boston, and that it will do well here is already foreshadowed by the large advance sale of seats. AU 'who relish a grand spectacle should eee ft.

As his Christmas and New Year's attraction at the Walnut, Manager Fleischman announces W. J. Scan- Ion, the popular Irish comedian and vocalist, in hi* ne\v play,~"Myles Aroon," which will have its first production on ouy stage on Christmas eve. "Myles Aroon" is a strong and highly amusing Irish drama, the plot aud main incidents of which were suggested to the authors, Jessop and Townsend, by Augustus Pi ton, Scan Ion's able and energetic manager. Bcanlon is furnished with an excellent character in the shape of a merry young Irishman, which fits him like a glo^e aud in which Manager Pitou predicts that he will make tbe bit of bis life.

Col. McOanll's many friends were shocked to learn the other (fay that he had been suffering for afew days f/Oui a Blight stroke of paralysis. The attack cuuie npou him <wrly l*3t week, just as he was leaving Chi­ cago to come to New York on a matter of important business. It affected his facial muscles, and also had something of an tuflueuce upon bia speech. For sev­ eral days be was hardly able to talk without hesitating and stammering tJ a marked degree. The stroke is believed to have had a direct connection with tho con­ cussion sustained by Col. McCaull last winter, when he fell iu a Chicago street and 'broke one of hia legs. It is believed, however, that he will entirely recover from the present attack, and no recurrence of tho difficulty is likely to make itself known if he follows the orders of tbe physicians iu regard to his mode of life.

Here are some interesting local dotlets: Frankford, Germantowu and Camde.n are all clamoring for regu­ lar theatres of their own.........It i**aid a New Yorkmanager wants to open a grand musce here.........TheNew Standard expecta to make a great hit with "Run­ ning Wild," which will be brought out as a New Year attraction.........Philadelphia manttgera are complain­ ing of Ihe free list, which, they say, has grown ab­ normally lurgp, and they think of instituting heroic measures of reduction.........The National is makinggreat preparations for "The Upper Hand," Oliver Byron's latest play.........Manager Powers has con­ cluded not to enter Into the scheme with Manager Fleishman, of the Walnut Street Theatre, and the lat­ ter will go it alone.

It is said that the "powerful actress" whom Man­ ager Chase is trying to secure to support Edwin Booth next season is Muie. Modjeska, and that negotiations are now being pnshed to purchase her releasa from the run tract entered Into with Nixon and Zimmerman, of this city, for a starring tour next year. Modje^ka's Ophelia to Booth's Uainlet would certainly prove a strong attraction.

Inventing "bnlls'' by way of jokes on his Irish friends was not an uncommon pastime with Kichard Briusley Sheridan. HU staj<o manager, Michael Ki-lly, was a frequent sufferer from this kind of wag­ gery. Kelly met with quite an alarming accident on tho stage one night. Tue Duchess of Devonshire, who had been ut the theatre, askod Sheridan if Kelly's hurt waa dangerous.

"Not in the least," waa the reply; (LI have just left him very well and in good spirits; but he has been putting this very puzzling question to m^: 'Suppose, Mr. Sheridan, I had been killed by the fall; who would have maintained ma the reet of my life?' "

The Duff Opera Company promise a great produc- tl'ti of "A Trip to Africa" at the GranU Opera House Christinas week and thU cannot Tall to prove a strong ttrnrtl'ii at the Grand Opera Honte. Hubcrt'Wilke, the favorite barilouc, wlto was for f-omo seasons one of the most p>pular members of the JHcCauU Opera Conu'iny, will be a leading feature in the cast uf tbie per*.

One of the strongest attractions announced for Mon­ day uight is Giltetti's spectacular production of "jhe,"

Once when a now opera was put on at Drury Lane Kelly was assigned to perform an Irish character. His friend Johustf>ne was at great pains to instruct him in the brogue, for despite the fact tbat he was a Dublin man he hadn't a suspicion of the rich roll that udiiaU> makes the speech of the educated DuMiaite so musical. When the performance \VRS over Slu-ndan came- into the green room, slappeJ him cordially on

th6*~DarKrrAB-iL(*aid: "Bravo, Kelly! Very well, indeed. Ui'on my honor f n«fpr~-ihgafd you speak puch good English in all my life/' "^ -.

Macn-ady had a positive abhorrence of redundant gesture, rend once said to the elder Wollack: "My dear \ValIack, you are naturally graceful; I am not. I know tbat in gesture I do not excel, and facial expres­ sion is what I principally depend upoa. In fact, I ab­ solutely make Sirs. Macroady tie my hands behind my back while I practice before a large glass and watch the face." "Well, Mucready," replied Wailack, "I suppose that Is all very good; but did you ever try it with your-legs lied?"

F.dward Weitzel and F. Stowart Isham, of Detroit, have contracted with il'lle Ithea to write for her a ploy. It will be an adaptation from the French, and is to bo finished by Feb. 1, 1839. The authors h«ve the work well In hand, the first act being completed and the remainder of the play outlined. HMie Rhaa is enthusiastic over the new piece and she proposes, if it proves siiccossfu', to pro-luce it iu Detroit this sea­ son. Mr. Weit/.el ia in Cleveland thia week still at work on the task of rewriting Edwin 1\ Mayo's "Silver Age."

Tho Bosten Pout, a con-orvative authority In dra­ matic matters, makes this significant not to «ay amaz­ ing assertion: "Miss Slarlo-wo is now infinitely be­ yond Miss Amlerwu after years of experience, end unless the Utter has learned something more during her lust visit to London than to speak English rather than Kentnckian, bh« is not yet capable of sustaining a comparison with her younger competitor. More than thii, Miss Marlowe is a better Viola than Misa Keilson was when ahe fir^t appeared in this country."

The American actor haa taken a'arm at Ihe inva­ sion of the theatres of tho United States by the ever- iucreaslnp: army of Euglish nud European foot light nriiet*. Louis Aldrich, Harley Merry, ami Lewis M. San^or, a committee'representing tho Actor's Order of friendship, appeared before tho Ford Investigating Committee, at \Va-»hinp'on, on Thursday, and asked that the contract labor be amende 1 so as to include professional actors and musicians among the classes prohibited from entering tho United States under a lab>r contract. At present the law specially exempts actor? and musicians from its provisions. Under this exemption the committee said that large numbers of foreign actors were annually brought to this country for the sole reason thai tliey won Id work cheaper than American actors. The money obtained was not spent here, but was taken back to the countries whence they came when their engagement was at an end. They did not, tho committee paid, object to the pres­ ence of stars like Irving, Ccquelin, Patti end others, but to tho host of minor actors they brought with thorn, and to the cheap grade of foreign actors whom American managers imported solely because of their cheapness.

The average pay of the American actor, the commit­ tee claimed, wa* §40 a week for a season averaging twenty-six weeks, while tho average weekly j-ay of the English actor was only $16. The American actora were the equals of 'heir foreign brethren in every re­ spect. Many of the American actors had served tlie country during tho »var, and they all contributed to the prosperity of the country. Their profession was already overcrowded, and they thought themselves fairly entitled to protection against the wholesale im­ portation of cheap actors who were under no obliga­ tions to the Uni ed State?. Mary Anderson, they de­ clared, had brought her whole company, supers, siage mechanics and all, from Knglttnd, because she could hire them cheaper than Americans. The Kiralfys had for the sime^ftHfion imported ail their ballet girls, act­ ors and stage people, mid the stine thing was true of the burlesque show "Monte Cristo, Jr.," now running in New York City.

The committee farther complained that the ward­ robes, stage properties end scenery were all imported, contrary to the law, without the payment of customs duties and to the harm of Americans dealing in these these tilings. This was done, tho committee declared, through the ballot girls and others falsely swearing that the, wardrobes and other properties were their personal effects. Messrc. Ford and Ouenther a-snred Mr. Aldrich that bis petition would receive prompt at­ tention. "It seemed just and equitable," said Mr. Ford, "and it would certainly be carefully considered."

Apropos of this a New York paper quotes a well- known actor and manager as saying: "English actors are becoming more popular in America simply because th«y ere reliable, and are not bothering the managers continually to print their names in the big­ gest type known to the world. Men like Joseph llaworth and Kben Plympton are good actors, but they are infatuated with tht-Ir names. It has been proved time ami Hgain that neither Haworth nor Ply rapt on is strong enough to carry a play unaided nor bring in money enough in the box office to pay their extravagant densauds for salary; yet they keep on iucreasing-their rates regularly with each failure. A short time ago Plympton was offered the position of leading man to a well-known woman star, and he Rai-l that he would accept the position at a salary of $400 a week if it was guaranteed that his name should appear in the same s : ze type as the actress* did when­ ever it appeared. The actress subsequently got a man for 860 a week who in giving excellent satisfaction. Plympton is idle, as bo has been for a year or moie, except during short spurts. Haworth f-lipped up on 'Philip Hemp.' Then he went to Chicago, where he appeared in the 'Bells of HUeleniere,' but d d not score success. He was stranded, and a manager In Boston telegraphed him for bis terms for a week's engage­ ment there in support of an actress. Mr. Haworth's terms were $350 aud expenses. Men of this stamp de­ mand more money with every failure. This effort to push themselves ahead ie general among leading men In America, and ft is acting aa a boomerang, because managers are now realizing that they can save a great deal of money, to say nothing of brain wear tail

printer's ink, by bringing capable aod cooaclentlotu men over from England."

BILLIARDS.BCgAEFEB AND CAIiTKR.

Advice to the Latter—Cusklon Caroms andBosses.

Eugene Carter, in many respects, is one of the most remarkable men that billiards has ever produced in this country. He has been promi­ nently identified with billiards in this country as an expert tor many years past. In the days when rival manufacturers gave tournaments, Carter was admitted as one of the rising young experts of this country. Carter, however, odd as it may seem, has never been connected with any party, clique or ring in the business. This may be owing to his love of perfect freedom, to his love of entire independence, to his desire for loading a sort of bohemian life, or it may be the result of hatred of being tied down which would necessitate a sort of slave's Ufa which is evidently not congenial to a man of his temperament. At all events it is certain that when the boss element gained the mastery of American bil­ liards as has been the case during the past fire or six years, Carter found himself one of the ostracized experts who could neither enter tour­ naments nor engage in professional contests for love or money.

What did he do? DitMxe retire in disgust and resolve to be even, not only with the calling but with the world at large, by leading a sort of tramp's life, by being a bar-room sot or a mere vender of his own game, experience and opinion, ever ready to sell the same to the highest bidder in the market? Not at all. Eugene Carter is no such man. He fought his enemies with the weapons of a thoroughly honeat man through the col­ umns of tho newepuuer presi of this country. It is true that In doing so he has been the subject of much ridicule by the blackmailing or hush-moLey organs, but there is not a clean sporting journal in this country to-day that cau truthfully statd that Carter's recora is not only a credit to himself, tut to the calling which he represents with s>.> much honor.

It is a long Une tha' Ims no turning, and at last the turning point iu the professional life of Eugene Carter has been reached. For this turning point Mr. Carter la indebted to Jacob Schaeier and Thonris Foley, and the once ostracized, banis'ied and scofl'ed-at experf, Carter, now finds nimself in tho front rank of America's most honored experts.

In the midst of all this glory, however, Mr. Carter does not see01 to be either satisfied or happy, and actually talks of challenging Jacob Schaefer to pUy a mutch game at cushion-caroms for 91,000 a side. It is true that this ia Mr. Carter's prerogative, and it may seem some what presumptuous to criticise him fur doing so when \ve romombcr the fact that Schaefer ia the only man in this country who is likely to play hitu, f-jt the bosses would not play hint, even at the obsolete push shot, unless guaianteed a certainty, while it is almost certain that the bosses would now engage in a contest at shuffle-b .ard, providing they were to receive their little fee in the shape of a guar­ antee. Nor should Carter be judged harshly in his honest and honorable desire to down so illustrious au expert as Schaefer. That Carter would make it ex­ ceedingly interesting, if not hot, even for Schaefer at cushion-caroms seonn to be the opinion of the most critical of critics in this country to-day. Conceding, however, that Carter is ablo to defeat Schaiffer at ciishioa-caroins, h*s it ever occurred to Mr. Carter that in playing the game of cuali ion-chrome in preference to any other, that he is not only keep­ ing alive tho boss element, bnt "putting a rod in pickle" with which to lash himself. Doe* not Carter know tbat cushion-carom* is the only game that (he bosses can play at the present day, or, fur the matter of that, have been able to play fur years past? It is tiue that, strictly speaking, there is but one boss who cau even play cuebion-catoms. Is it clear, however, that thia one boss cannot continue to boss future tour­ naments in tho Eust as he bns clone for years past, and thus boss such experts as Carter out of (he touroa- mi'u's of the futuro aa he has in the past, us lonj as such experts as C.irter sha'l give life and vitality tj cushion-caroms by insisting ou playing that game?

Tbat a contest at cusluou-carmns for 81,000 a side between Scliaoferand C.trtiT would command national interest no one will question. That such a contest for tlie time beiug would stimulate billiards is equally true. In the end, however, billiards would Le the loser for the simple reason that it would bo furnishing tbe bosses with ammunition with which tj defeat buch experts as Carter in the future as tlioy hnve in the past. Carter's only course to pursue in the present, if indeed not in the future, is to abnjish cushion-caroms absolutely. This will !>« no sacrific-* or detriment to so gifted a master of billiards as Carter, who can really play one game almost as well as .the other. W ith the b >s§es, however, it in entirely different. Cushion-caroms is the only game they can piay even indifferently. Des­ troy that game and the boia element will no

ifrnfeiT JH a JIIMH to pulVimih At1 vrta t»'miHpfe.^uh rflaitheir services a« experts will not be in demand. This, it i^ true, is rough OQ tho game of cushion-caroms, which, in our opinion, is one of th>3 most beautiful game* that can be played on a billiard table. The time f"r sentiment in billiard-*, however, is pa*t. Some sacrifice moat be made for the benefit of billiards at large, and as the lots e'emont will make no sacri­ fice for tue game, bnt sacrifice everything rather than the power of the bosi element, war must n*>w be de- clured on cushion-caroms until cuphiou-caroms and tho boss element are buried BO deep in the same grave that there can be no future hope for their resurrection.

FRANK O. IVES.

The Young: Man's Future Outlook as an Kxperr.

Ives' general play, or indeed, his play in general, has been a general disappointment in the Chicago tournament. This is all the more to bo regretted when it is remembered that Ives spent a season about a year ago under the tui­ tion of that illustrious master of the game, Geo. F, Slosson, and that Mr. Slosson predicted then that it was only a question of time until Ives would rank among the foremost experts of this country, if not tho world. That Ives has much to be thankful for, for the incalculable advantage of a season's experience in the Slosson school of billiards may not appear patent to Mr. Ives at present, but it most assuredly wili later on, for if there was anything vicious in tho character of Iven, which we have as yet to learn to be the case, no man in the business was more calculated to squelch tbat viciousncss than that most polished gentleman, Geo. F. Slosson. Ives' next stroke of good fortune was in being asso­ ciated with Thomas F. Foley during the early part of the present season. Foley was an ex­ pert at the cue when most of us were either g^in? to school or studying tiur catechism at home, For half a generation past at least Mr. Foloy haa only bt-ea known in the business as one of the most distin­ guished businessmen in the calling. This was the second stroke of good 1 nek for young Ives incoming iu contact with such a tti>',n as Fo'ev, uud to cap the climax of Ives' luck he i* now under the fostering wing of Jacob Schaefer, whore he will havo the ad­ vantage of being instructed by the greatest player that billiards has ever produced.

It may be argued, and no doubt will be, that Ives should bave ruiida a better record in the recent tourna­ ment. To such an argument it might be well to re­ member, however, that while Schaofor ranks to-day as tho foremost expert in the world, he played so indifferently, or had so little reputation in 187G, tbat he was not admitted in tho great Cen­ tennial tournament of tbat year. Sexton was t!ieu tho star expert of the day, and his performance, no less than his general bearing, was such as to make him im­ mortal as a master ex pi-it for all time. The story of what haa followed the Centennial tournament, as far as it relates to Schaeior, should not be for­ gotten by Ives, even if it flavor* of ancient history to this very young expert. No, Ivei lias not done badly iu the Chicago tournament. Tho folly was in expect­ ing mi possibilities of an expert who is fit present suf­ fering from being ahead of his time. His day is yet to come, and if he due* not show up at the proper time it will not bo the fault of Slossun, Foley or Schaefer, but the fault of Frank C. Ives alone.

Schaefer's New Field.CHICAGO, De?. 13. Editor SPORTING LIFE:

In my letter of yesterday I gave you briefly some of the reasons why the tournament was so marked a success. At the present writing there is but one opinion, and that is that the whole affair was a step in the right direction to elevate the surroundings of billiard tournaments and contests. Nothing else is talked of in billiard circles hefe, especially of the exhibitions of fancy shots given by that incomparable expert, ShalFer, who has now proved himself to be very much more useful to the profession in general, but room-keepers in particular, than ever be­ fore. With the aid of Schaefer as an exhibition player the success of any well-managed tourna­ ment in any part of the country is assured. The public will flock night after night to, witness the magic of his cue, as they did here for two w eeks. Kvery performance cau rely on a new programme with such a man as Schaefer. There are more than a dozt'ti cities iu this country where the game, change! to the ci^ht-iuch hulk-lino, could give louruatneuu certain of financial success with Schaefer to give his fancy shut exhibitions. Two or three of these tour­ naments should be held annually to stimulate the game throughout the com.try.

As an illustration, & year ngo when a handicap tour­ nament WHS given at the sume theatre, the managers started with $300 entrance money and ?250 given by the BrunMvick-Balke-Colleuder Co. Sehaefer, Slos- ton and Carter wore among the experts as drawing cards, yet the receipts were bnt some ¥200. This tour- iiameut had to be handicapped to make plaveia even. It had one plaver wbo outmatched the real in public estimation thirty percent,, which trenied to make it an uninteresting one-sided aflxir. Yet the public took to balk-line billiards, aud Schaefer's exhibition* and the receipt* which ran behind a year »g>> with the ad­ vantages referred to, will now auia up considerably

over $400, and had the linea been drawn at eight Inches instead of fourteen, the receipts would probably have been forty per cent, more, as (he slowness of tbe opening game seriously affectoi the entire tournament. There is but one titan In this country who can ^lay 14-iuch UlU-lice billiards, inch as to Interest the spectator, and that man Is Jacob Schaefer. N.

THE CHICAGO TOURNAMENT.

The Final Games—Complete Record of the Contests—The Brilliant Wind-Up.

Although the final result was given in our last issue, as well as the results of all the games played, the full scores of the contests were only received up to Wednesday, 5th inst., and these scores are herewith given. On Wednesday, Dec. 5, the public was treated to a surprise, Hat- ley beatiug Gallagher. The North Sider was in splendid form and played beautiful billiarJs. Hatley made an average uf nearly ten, and gave two splendid exhibi­ tions of balk-nursing. H. W. Cornell was referee. Tho score:

Hatlpy 0. 1, 1,11, 12,17, 0, 6, 35. 5. 23. 0, 1, 0, 5, 25, 0,14,0,36,8. Total, 200; highest run, 36; average,

Carter met Ives in the second game of the evening. Carter started out boldly, making 52. Ives was equal to the emergency, and by steady ploddiog bended Carter In the sevtuth inning. After that, however, Carter slowly drew ahead and finally got the balls into poaltion for a run of S7, which saw the game out. Score:

Carter 4, 6, 1, 2, 5, 0, 7, 2, 27, 8, 4, 0, 0, 0, 3, 87 Total, 200; highest run, 87; average, 13U.

Ives 22, 2, 0, 1,11,9,32,0, 1,13.29/1,3, 1. Total, 124; highest run, 32; average. 9 1-7.

On Thursday December G four games were played. In tho first afternoon contest Ives bout Barley. Both uieu played a listless game. Tlie ouly Inmlnble effort iu the entire game wua a two-cushion bank shot bj' Hatley. The score:

Ives 4, 2, 0, 3, 30, 0, 2, 6, 0, 1, 0, 29, 12, 24. 0, 0, 0, 0, 9, 3, 2, 2, 17, 16, 6, 13. 13, 0, 0, 7. 0, 1," 1, 6. Total. 200; highest run, 30; average, * 15-17.

The second game was by far the l>e-t of tbe tourna­ ment. The contestants were William Catton and Henry Rhino?. The pace was t rriflc. Rhines struggled manfully. Ho olayed strong billiards, but couldn't km-p up with the quarter-boras gait that Cut- ton had. Catton run the gum?! out In the fourteenth innine, maktng the largest average of the tournament.

Catton 31, 3, 1, 2, 15, 17, 11/0, 0,52. 40, 12, 8, 2. Total, 200; highest run, 52; average, 14 2-7.

The attendance at tbo evening game was unu-ually large. The first g-iuie was between GaUagher and Moulds, it was a long-winded affuir and absolutely devoid of enthusiasm. GaUagher played a safety game throughout, while the balls rolled stubbornly for his opponent.

Gallagher 2. 2, 2. 0, 0, 2, 0,11, 2,11,15, 0, 20, 4. 0. 0,19, 2, 0, 13, U, 3, 11, 15, 0, 0, 20, 20, 17. Total, 200; highest run, 25; average, G 2C-2'J. '

Next tho two great gladiators, Cut ton and Carter, met. The excitement ran high, iioth men were nervous aud over-anxious. Safoty play predominated at tbe outset. Carter made live missed in the flrlt sevtn innings, Canton in the meantime making the b^ils chime for 40 buttons. Carter finally humped himself aud repewted his performance ot the pre­ vious evening by running tho gumo out. The score:

Carter 1,18, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 41, 0, 0, 32, 25, 77. Total, 200; highest run, 77; average, 15 5-13.

On I'Yufay evening, Doc. 7, the opening contest was between Majiirioli anil Citlton, the former winning from l.d opponent handily hy a tcore of 200 to 133. Maggioli Htarted out like a winner and in the first MIX innings hud checked tho ivories lor 74 points, while Caltuu'n string showed but 43. From ibis point, how­ ever, JUag^iuLi let down ani Cattou kissed tho balls about as he uleaseJ, distancing hU competitor. Tut sc-'tre:

Notes of the Event.CHICAGO, Dec. 12 Editor SPORTING LIFK: Tho

Ilrruld of this city bat consented to became the perma­ nent stakeholder for all coufedt* fir the championship of Iho 14-inch balk-lino tournament, which has jnat closed in this city. It is Imped here that the co&tutt haa advanced tho best interebts of billinrds in all purls of the country. That the Uniruatnent has bftu ,»( great benefit to billiards in thia city is beyond *ti.y doubt. After paying all tbe tournament expenses the mnnagers, Messrs. Foley and S.hneter, will have about fcXJU to divide iu cash prizes Hinune the players. This excellent cash showing was only made possible through tho indomitable plm-k and genius of Schaefer, whoso exhibitions between tho ffanaps during the en­ tire tournament were marvels of brilliancy aud execu­ tion and were the talk of the entire town in (jillmrd circles. Schaefer had new ohota every nia;ht and lit­ erally astonished those who imagined that they were familiar with all that the ''Wizird" had done in tho past and did not deem it possible for him to present anything new in the futnre. The fact is, there is n^i limit to Schaefer's genias when he is at the billiard table.

Next In or«ler were thfl generous newspaper men who entered into this business heart and ^ul from the very first. These men, together with the experts, were determined tu make tbe tournament u thor­ oughly cleau and honest affair in all of its surrownd- infifl, giving to the managunu-nt all the aid that could be hoped lor, while to the experts must fall a large share of success of the enterprise. Foley Is loud in hia praise of the magnificeut conduct of the players, aud declares that during his professional life as manager aud iu various ways connected with t-jurnameuts and contests that he never encountered a more gentle­ manly lot of experts. There WHS not a single expert present who at any time raised tho slightest objection, duriQK the two weeks' scries of games, while the ex- I»erld were not only always promptly on hand to keep tbeir eogaijements, but a single panic had not ta be changed after the original or first schedule was made out.

THE MASTER AT WORK.

Schaefer Beats the Tournament Winner, Even With a Big Handicap.

On Saturday, Dec. 8, Jacob bchaefer played and beat Carter, the winner of the tournament, Schaefer playing 600 to Carter's 400. During tbe tournament it was arranged for Schaefer to play tho winner. Had Gallagher como out in tho lead he wcuIJ have played tho Wizard 300 to 600j had Catton been the lucky man he would have played 400 to Jake's 800 at the eight-inch balk-lino, but Carter asked for a con­ cession of 33J per cent, at the fourteen-inch came. Carter never had such a chance to beat Sehaefer, and it is questionable if he ever will Jigiio, us Jake i/layed iu his poorest form, his average falling far short of ('nrtot's best tour­ nament avera'ge. Carter was nervous and ex­ cited throughout the contest. He appeared to want to wiu very badly, Imt was um-qnal to the task, fc'chnefer's play ^a'jked very little of its accus­ tomed brilliancy, his position ktay wiis just ,is m*e- tnrl> and draw* and nllsse^ as ustmi-jhitig «ntl ap­ plause-provoking ;ie ever, but bis intervals of cHrcle-s- ueea played hob with his avuiage. Ills luns of 82 iu Die sixth itilling, 41 in the eleventh, 09 in the thirteenth, and particularly his unbroken 79, were like Schaefer and brought out all the beauties of tiis incomparable stylo of cxrcu'.lon. Kvtrv eeconj shot in his last run was greeted with R salvo of nppUuse. It was in Itself a comprehensive expose of all tho possibilities of balk-lino billiards. Every draw, masse and drive, made off-hind, was a study for an expert, while his nurso which carried him along so fitst that Cnftiley Matthews almost got his tongue Bprtuaed calling off the poiots WAS as neat a thing as the old connoiseura ever eaw. Jake broke up tho position whoa he bad two to go, thinking he had finished the came. Thia WHS not a misfortune, as it gave him a chance to execute two spreads that brought down tho house. There were 332 bmton.1 on Carter's string, the earnings of 4ti in­ nings, when the marker called game. Frank Rice, re­ feree. Score:

THE KENNEL.RABBIT COURSING.

The New Jersey Kennel Club Refuses to Sustain Its Fre&ident on This Question.The governors of the New Jersey Kennel

Club held a meeting Dec. 13 at Taylor'a Hotel, in Jersey City, to consider arrangements for tbo coming dog show, to bo given under the auspices of tho club at Jersey City in February next, and incidentally to take action on a resolution framed by President Peshall, and which commended Mr. Bergh, of the society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for his attempt to suppress rabbit coursing on Hemstcad PJains.

It was decided that the dog show should be given during the week immediately preceding that of the similar exhibition in the Madison Square Garden, New York, in February, ani that it should lust four days. It was stated in tho course of the discussion over the matter that it would be undoubtedly a success, inasmuch na between eight and nine hundred canines would be entered in the competitions for prizes.

The Bergh resolution, however, was laid on the table, though only after a Ions? and spirited debate, in whioh President Peshall warmly de­ fended the course he bad taken. He was sec- oncleti1 uy two or three ol tue governors o club, but the majority waa against him, and that settled it.

ft is understood that one reason for the action taken by the governors was that word b&d been conveyed indirectly to them that August Bel- mo Qt, Jr., tho president of the Heuipstead Coursing Club, and who is also, by the way, the president of the American Kenne! Club, of which the Jersey City Kennel Ciubis a member, intended to give up rabbit coursing or baiting. That was held to indicate that no action by the Jersey people was neceessary.
