Bolh loams nro composed of literal pit tils. They are In perfect physical trim ana will make a tremendous battlo. Tbe ex citement over tbo affair is running high nnd It Is moro than likely that several thousand dollars will chance hands on the result , as the adherents of botb teams ore putting up their stuff at a lively rato. Both teams are confident of victory and the pull will go on record probably ns ono of the most stubborn ana exciting of modern times. Special ar rangements have bcon made for lames with escorts , and it looks oven at this hour ns if the ball would be Insufficient lo bold the crowd. Itritorntlnii of the Kcklongai. For tbo flret tlmo smco 1883 Fort \Vnyno end Toledo have baio ball clubs in tbo same league. Both cities were tbcro in Itio North western , wbicb graduated Tony Mullano , John Clarksou , Curt Welch , Hank O'Day and a number ot others who huvo become stars In the big leagues. It has boon urged that Fort \Vayno was outclassed in tbo point of population by tbe tbo other cities in tboVostorn league , but it tbo attendance in the uowly admitted city is njwhrro near what Is promised , tbo step taken by tbo league magnates will bo demon strated to be D wise ono. Fort Wayne bos always been a good ball town. Its Inhab itants nro enterprising ana liberal. About tbe only thine that can bo successfully urged against It , Is In politics. Three out of live br the inhabitants of Allen county are demo crats , but if they support tboir ball team in a liberal manner , they will go a long ways toward atoning for their political sins. To ledo and Fort Wayne are tbo only cities on tbe Maumoe river that possess professional ball clubs. Tbcro is therefore , n bond of sympathy existing oolween us.Vo nro neighbors. Yea , more , wo are brothers. In bouor of the very fast semi-professional ball club possessed bv that city a dozen years ngo , The Blade will name tbo noiv club tbo tbo "Koklongas. " This is tbo Indian name Tor tbo St. Mary's river which assists the Bt , Joe in forming the Maumco there , and a tribe of Indians formerly dwelt upon its banks by that namo. The "Koklongas , " savors eomowbat of border romance , and When Captain Alvord and bis braves got down to playing ball , we bopo tboy will ore- servo tbo fair name nud fair farno of Fort Wavne.

Tbe finish contest between Danny Daly of tbls city and California Dempsey of Sacra- rncnto takes place at Soutb Omaha ono week from next Friday night , Jane 17. The contest is for a nominal stake and the entire gate re ceipts , ana will bo a mill worth going to soo. Some Boem to regard tbo light as a fixed af fair , inasmuch as Daly Is a featherweight and Dotnpsoy In tbo welter clan , but when it la talton Into consideration that tbo articles require tbe Callfornlan to got to 128 pounds br under , with Daly privileged to go la at any standard , tbo inequality Is largely done way with. However , without attempting any further reasons for Its bolng such , tbo backers of tbo two men ridicule iho idea of a fnlto and are willing to baclc tbeir respect ive principals for as much as any of the knowing ones see proper to stake. Daly has been idio for several months and Is anxious to recuperate , oven at tbo Jeopardy of bis reputation as a featherweight , and baa not Dampsoy agreed to got down to tbo weight specified would have fought blm at catch weight * . His backer , Ed. Uotbery , says that to oven thinks Danny could best him on the r latter conditions. Both men are already bard at work preparing for tbo event , Daly Bt Cut-Off InKo , with Ted Gallagher as his handler , and Dempsey t Bollovue.

Dog shows conducted under uniform rules pnd under thu supervision of competent ) udgcs have boon of tbo. . greatest service in establishing types ot the different breeds and Belling up standards of excellence for breed- ers. They have also been of service in edu cating tbo public in tbe characteristics and merits ot the various breeds. An extract from an article in the Kennel Gazette , tays : "In former dojs when six teen or twenty dogs came into the ring , It V as uneasy matter to pick out the prize ivlnners and to dismiss the rest. Now , of course , it Is not an uncommon thing to ilnd 0 many dpgs before tbo judge , and not a bad ptio In the class. Tbls Improvement has coma ubout through dog shows in vnnous ivays. First , judges questioned by anxious hnU disappointed exhibitors' liaro generally boon ready to explain what judging meant , nnd what was required , and many a useful hint nnd answer have occu given. Exhibitors nird visitors , too , have been thrown together unu bayu learned that brooding and judging are not pure matters of luck and fancy , and that much mutter of sclbntltia Interest maybe bo learned in tbe aniu > > oment of breeding dogs. Lsist , but not least , tbo press have contributed in no small decree by reports of Bboww , and much moro than these uy the conc&pandenca cllcitod from tlmo to timo. " WuntB the Uuim > I'uhlUlipd.

Billy Barnle , the Baldbeaded Eagle of tbe Chesapeake , has assumed the reins at Fort Wayne , nud the Western league cau con gratulate herself en tbe acquisition. It will require just such capable men as Mr. iiarnle to .solidly establish the Western Ipapuo. The sporting editor know Billy when he was be hind tbo bat for tboColumbus Buckeyesway back in tbo dark ages. E. M.

Claus Clausen , the little Suede who has been pitching from sbcol to breakfast for Columbus , bad a four-penny nail torn off his pitching flnccr tbe other day nnd will occupy the bench for a while. Tbe" Buckeyes , however - over , don't seem to miss him much , and tbo only wav they can be checked In their mad career is for some rood , strong nitcaer to knock an arm off big Brockenridgo and a log or two off Walsh and McClellan. Ron Mulford on Billy Karle'3 release by Plttsburgsays : "The only reason assigned for releasing the crack lltllo catcher was that the club was carrying too many men. Eurlo should not bo long without an engagement. Ho is n fine catcher , a slashing little hitler , and by odds the best base runner in tbo Pltlsburg loam , while he U slrictly tompor- nto and reliable. Clubs that can release such players as Earlo mmt bo long on first- class players. " Why didn't you keep Billy , MuLwbcn > ou bad blm in Cincinnati.

Brooklyn offered him $3,500 this sea- sou , but he held out for just (1,000 more , but It never came.

" Tbe wonderful batting of First Baseman B reckon rid go has causes considerable inter est as to just what the big first basomnm has done with tbo stick since tbe opening of the championship season. In the thirty- three games played by Columbus ( one being u tlo ) Brockonrldgo has been at bat 113 times. Ho has mudo eleven home runs , ono tbrcebnv ) bit , twelve doubles and seven sin gles.

At the now Boyd tonight and continuing four nights , Rood nnd Collier In their laugh able skit , "H033 and Hess , " which is under the management of WG. . Smyth , will bo presented. From all accounts It deserves the high appreciation accorded it by crowded houses that have witnnssod it wherever it has bsen presented. As Lawvor Cbarllo Hess , Reed entertains his audience w'tn ' hu witty sallies and funny songs. William Col lier is equally effective as Judtro Wllllo Hess and his work In this characterization is said to bo incomparable , while his parodies are inimitable. Arthur Moul- ton , who will be remembered as a leading member of Frank Daniels' "Lltllo PUCK , " Is second to Messrs. Heed and Collier , and bis characterization of Birdie Hess is something enjoyable. James P. Gentry gives a capital Interpretation of the Yankee sheriff as Hanks Thanks ; Louise Allen as Sybil Corves delights the audience with her kangaroo dance In the Rnl act nnd again in tbe second with her Spanish dance. Belle Muni's rich contralto singing is such as to place her a favorite with the audience at once. Adclo Farnngton has a sweet soprano volco that Is thoroughly and carefully culti vated. Mrs. Fred Hooker displays unusual ability as Mrs. Lobolla Hess , the wife of tbe judgo' , and Helena Collier and Lillian Hams- den , each clover and agile daccorj , split honors yvlth each olhej , If you over attend ttia'theater ' and enjoy nn evening of delightful"oiu lc don't ' fal : to wit ness tbe purformanco otyHavorly's minstrels which is to take p'aceatiBoyd' ' * now theater on Thursday ovonlng bhe 0 , for ono night only , upon which occasion Colonel J.

Instead of tbo usual minstrel parade at 13 o'clockthere will bo a grand free open-air concert at3 o'clock Thursday afternoon by Havorly's superb band , it-adoring the most popular minstrel munoof the day.

Tbe opera has many admirer * In Omaha. U has uot been presented here very lately , nnd the compaay will present It In a very satisfac tory manner. Largo audience * may confi dently bo looked for at every performance. In order lo secure "Tuxedo" for coxt Wednoajar and Thursday evenings at the Farnam , Manager Burgees has arranged to dlsfub the successful run of his summer opera season for these two nights only. It Is n matter of rnlich satisfaction that a produc tion so decidedly original and entirely now as wns "Tuxedo" should receive the ap proval of tbo amusement loving public of U.-nahu , ni Its principal ondorioment for the highly successful n&tuon It has onjovod. Evrry theater gear remembers when Tuxedo" was rehearsed hero nearly a year ago , and what n doctdoJ hit it made. The boom It received huro has followed it all sea son , and George Thatcher and nls merry company ot comedians , singers and dancers have only the most pleasant remembrances of Omaha and the friends they made during their stay. It Is almost needless to say that "Tuxedo" Is much improved slnco it wn first prosentod. The dual organization of Thatcher's min strels and Rich & Harris' comedy company now Includoi the following array ot names : George Thatcher , Hughey Dougboriv. Burt Shepard , John P.

Lillian Russell Is on a steamer bound for Europe In search of a norr opera , Frank Daniels' manager says that star began bis career in comlo opera and not in variety. C. B , Byrne and Louis Harrison are at work on a now comlo opera to bo called "Venus.-1 Walter Damrosch Is composing an opera whose story Is founded on Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter. " Frederick Pauldlng Is mentioned as the possible loading man of Margaret Mather's company next season.

Ada Doavcs has joined David Henderson's company , which has just opened in Chicago in Its now spectacle , "All Baba.

Tbo corresponding English society Iras loss than $10,000. The fact is considered notable that five comto operas are running In Now York and four of them are from American pens. Tbe kangaroo dancer in "Hoss and Hess , " Louise Allen , has boon at Cincinnati too sick to travel , and her place is taken by Helena Collier. There has boon gossip of late that Mrs. W. J.

Miss Gale declares that she will not retire from the stage , however. Nat Goodwin has gone to England to got a peep at "Walker of London , " which John L. Toolo is playing in the British provinces. Goodwin bought the farca on tbe reports of its success , und bo Is curious to know if he has confuted tbo old warning as to purchas ing a pig In a bag. Llllle Lang try has once moro fixed her eyes on tbe American public. Letter * from her to frlonds In New York indicate that she means to bring "Tho Fringe of Sonloty. " She is satisfied That the London verdict justi fies her in planning a tour , and she is sbrowd enough to perceive that a drama with this title Is llkoty to be attractive In this country. She has countermanded her order to sell her private car , and that Is significant. Miss Mildred Holland took tbo place of Miss Pbvllls Rankln as Ada Vodder in "Tho. Check Book" in the Detroit performance of that comedy by Miss Coghlnn , and was praised for the excellence of her performance by the press of that city. Miss Holland Is remembered by manv in Omaha ai a lead ing member iu tbe "Superba" company and the accomplished young woman who gave a private exhibition of her fencing at tbo Alhlolloclub. Eddie Fov has had a recurrence of the throat trouble that necessitated bis retire ment from the American Extravaganza com pany a year ago , and his volco is so aflecicd that bo was unable to take bis part in tbo robearnals of "All Baba " Manager Hen derson determined , therefore , to give him a leave of absence during which to recuperate health.

On the lost night of his en gagement in any big city he talks to his audience , and apparently it is his deliberate plan to suy somolblng startlingfrank. ! . In San Francisco bo told bis farewell audience that tbo city had too many theaters for the size of tbo town ; there were only 800,000 people in the place , and about oue-sovcnth of these wcrs "Chinese gentlemen. " who had not yet acquired tbe habit of going to Amer ican theaters. He tbon severely criticised the San Francisco custom of not getting scaled in tbo theater until 8:30 o'clock , when the performance is advertised to begin at 8. Ho said other things ia this strain , and loft his hearers amazed. A musical feat of unusual Importance will bo accomplished this ( summer oy the Arion singing society of Now York under the leadership of its able director. Frank Van dor Stucken. The steamer Wleland has been chartered and on Juno 25 it will sail for Europe with sixty of his actlvo members and 200 passlvo members in order to give con certs in Berlin , Leipslc , Hamburg , Munich , Stuttgart , Frankfort , Cologne , Dresden , Maycnca and Btngen-on-tbo-Rhlne , wbero a summorulgnt festival will bo celebrated , besides visiting Vienna.

Arnold , tbo least fortunate ot the brothers , bu been a dancer rather tbau a manager or ( peculator. London theater managers hare been tryIng - Ing to prevent tbo performance ot plays in tbe music balls wbero the spectator * drink and smoke while tbo performances are going on.

London is overstocked wllh theaters supposed to bo of Ibo first class. Nothing pays better than to build n theater , but nothing pay * less than to take one. Theaters in modern Urn01 ore built at an enormous cost , and costly theaters necessitate extravagant rents. A very few theaters with enormous rentals can bo made to pay In Londoa , Ibo buildings are there , the publio is there ready to patronize them , but there are not enough experienced authors to write for them , and not enough capable artits ! to amuse the publio if they do patronize first class theaters. The consequence quence i * that the manager of second im portance foisted into a theater of the first rank finds blmtelf in n dilemma and at his wits' end how to pay bis rent , which , In a house amounts two-nundred-pound'a-ulcht to ofer 5.000 a year. Tbo 300 a night is never In the house , but the 9,030 bas to bo paid In weekly installments , or tbo landlord will know tbe reason why. " A writer in tbo St. Louis Globo-Detnocrat says : "Undoubtedly , the finest obolr in the world U that of St. Peter' * in Rome , known as tbe pope's choir. There is cot a female voice In It , and yet tbo most difficult oralorioi and sacred music written are rendered in such a manner aw to make one think that Adelina Patti's high soprano is leading. Tbo cnoir is composed 01 ixty ooys. unoy ore trained for the work from the tlmo they got control of their vocal chords , and some of tbe best singers aio not over 9 year * old. At the ago of 17 they nro dropped from the choir. To say that at tbo pope's service one hoar * the grandest church music that tbe world bas over known sound * commonplace , o far abort does it fall of opt description. I Am something of a connoisseur , have been a pro found student of muslo all tny life , aud have board every great opera produced by tbe most famous organisation * , but until a few monthi ago , * when 1 heard ( bo pope' * choir , I had no idea that tbo human voice wa * capable of such performance * . I don't eo wny tbo big operatic organizations don't learn a les son from St , Peter's and hava a chorus of boy * exclusively. It would notsulttne bald- beads , but it would please the genuine lover * of music.
