Where was the first public dramatic Tiorformanco in America given I1 Author ities have differed , but Colonel T. Allston Drown is chief of them , and ho provides now evidence that Now York city has the honor. Colonel Brown has begun to publish in the Clipper a series of historical articles on the theater in this country , and the first deals with the question of priority. M. Dunlap , in his "History of the American Theater1 says : "On September 15. 1752 , at 'Wifliuinsburg , the capital of Virginia , the first piny performed in America by a company of comedians was roprcfeunted to a delighted audi ence. " James llccs nays that "a portion of Ilnllnm's troupe combined with sev eral artists engaged for America by John Moody , arrived in Philadelphia'1740-7 , and opened the first theater dedicated to nnddramutic nnibo with a well organized company in the colonies. " . But Colonel Drown brings clor proof of his claim for Now York city the honor of being the first place in America where the English drama was brought oft by pro fessional actors. The truth of history compels him to dispel the illusion muter which these historians have BO long rested , mid to set forth the case as it really is. In September , 17H2 , a com pany composed of regular actors just ar rived jrom London organized thorn- solves for dramatic entertainments. They secured a largo room in the upper part of a building , which was fitted up with n platform singe and raised seats , capable of seating ubout 400 people. ' Getting a number of amateurs , tnoy opened the last week in September , 3732 , and played three times each v cck. Wit Drove ijio I'nln Awny. Upon the occasion of Knto Field's first appearance in Now York , enys the Drooklyu Etiglo , she bent for ull tb.o re porters to meet her at Chickering hull and hear her in a morning rehearsal. As it happened , Mr. Hns&urd was ono of those. Tlio house had been occupied the previous night by some concert amateurs , and one of the singers had dropped a bit of her false hair on the stage. The little band of reporters formed themselves into a small , jiumun cluster about the press table be low the stugo , and Miss Field , Eomcwhat nervous , swept out from a eido door upon the platform with a roll of manubcript and much llutter of skirts. The wind from her waving rai ment blow the light roll of fake hair forward and over tho. edge of the plat- lorm. Mibs Field , in her agitation and jicar sightoudoss , failed to see it clearly , And believing it tp bo'a fearful , fu.ro- cious mouse , screamed nnd clutched at her skirts. Ilassard , catching the whole situation in a glance , nipped it from the table and held it aloft , crying reas suringly : "Don't be alarmed , Miss Field ; it's not a mouse. It's a puff , and from the reporters' table. " Every one laughed , the ice was broken , and Miss Field scored a success. Pnttl KlKscd Hy n El Diluvis : Adelina Patti , who has been lately celebrating her triumph in Madrid , her native city , the other day- craved the honor of being admitted into the presence of tlio queen's mother , Christina , of Spain. On this being grunted , the artist expressed n wish to bee the little king , "for , " she jocosely added , "he is the only European sovereign eign with whom I have not yet had a personal interview. " At a sign from the queen Altonzo XIII. was brought into thoi'oom. Mine. Patti made a low courtesy and pressed his chubby little hand to her lips. The queen regent then pleasantly remarked : "My son shall not bo the first Spaniard who con ducts himself so ungnlhuitly as to sutler his hand to bo kissed by n lady. Pray allow him to mnko amends by klbsing you in return. " Promptly 'obeying , Alfonzo XIII. throw his arms around Iho diva's neck and kissed her right heartily on her cheek and lips. Hoolh IJOVCH Colorado. Mr. Edwin Booth , the tragedian , who has been a sort of idol of the American theatre-going public for some years , says the Denver News , is going to leave the stage forever after ono or two moro seasons. The engagement of himself nnd Mr. Lawrence liurrott at the opera house this week is a sufficient evidence of the popularity of both , and they nro us insopurable oil the stage us on it. There was a story circulated a few months ago to the effect that Mr. Booth was to marry Mr. Barrett's daughter. It has dropped out of sight of late , mid is believed to have been the invention of a Boston correspondent. It is not generally known , but a fact nevertheless , that Mr. Booth cumo near leaving the stage about twelve years ago and removing to Colorado. Ho had invested heavily in mlnob , and during his vacation in 1870 cnmo to Denver and spent n couple of weeks looking after his interests , llo was charmed with the now city nnd made up his mind that it was to bo a grout ono.

The Methodist clergymen seem to bo afraid of the women , A Vermont minister has preached 121 funeral sermons , with net returns of two barrels of apples and a silver dollar. William Sherwood , of Baltimore , Mil. , will spend onp year in prison for stealing u bible , He had heard that the gospel was free. Preachers never strlko for higher salary.

Sam Small is not only preaching against saloons In Georgia , but is savagely denounc ing the homo jug. The effect of this is that ho is getting himself strongly disliked by the people of tnat state , who , however much they may deprecate saloons , do not think that temperance agitation should invade the sacred precincts of the homo. If these Methodist ministers who want to keep women out of their conference In New i ork were to also exclude the fair sex from their church meetings , what would become of the strawberry festival ?
