CINCINNATI , O. , April 27.-A clear sky
of the championship
( milled upon the opening game
pionship season. Ono of the best crowds for
years , numbering over TK)0 ( , gathered and
saw the ReJs win the llrst opening game
that they have taken In tinny years. The
Chlcagos wore defeated to the tuuo of 10 to
1. The Chicago's errors were frequent and
costly , while their batting was weak. The
Cinclnnuti club , on the other hand , fairly
outdid Itself and gave Alullano the best of
supK > rt. McGIll was wild and McGlnnts
was substituted for him In the second. Ale-
Oliinls , however , was batted terrifically ,
nearly all of the Cincinnati men having a
hand in the hitting. Alullanu was put in
after Ilumpus Jones had pitched ono liming
and finished the game. Ho was batted
freely , but his wonderful support prevented
many hits from being mado. Score :

was called at the Exposition groumds this
afternoon for the opening of the ball season
there were 7JO ( ( ) persons within the en
closure. The day was bright and the crowd
was enthusiastic. Precedlne the gumo
there was a parade , followed by a band con
cert at the grounds. The Pittsburu's had a
bad case of "rattles , " and were not In It
from the start. The Clovelands played
superbly in the Held and batted hard at the
proper time. The work of the horne team

largest crawd that ever witnessed a base
bull game In St. Louis assembled at thu
opening of the National league season this
aftornoon. Fully 1S.700 spectators were
present and witnessed a superb game. Tills
afternoon the teams with the different club
ofllcers marched to the grounds headed by a
brass band. After taking their places in
the field they were addressed by Lieutenant
Governor O'Meara and Alayor Waldridge ,
after which time was called. The features
of the game were the pitching and catching
of Huwlcy and Pelt/ , the batting of Crooks

"KnlnlcorliuckprN" at Ihn lioyil.
Do Kovcn and Smith's "Tho Knicker
bockers" was introduced for the first tlmo to
in Omaha audtenco at the Uoyd last evening
by the Hostoninns , and that audience was
evidently much pleased with the worlc , all of
the leading numbers being redeinandcd. It
is a comic opera of eonstderablo
merit. Comparison ! ) with tha com-
iwaor's other work are inevitable. It runs ,
broadly speaking , on the musical lines
ot ' 'Uoblu Hood. " It Is nn opera of gleea nnd
ballads , oven ttio llnales , the really strong
features of the work , being simply ballads
sung in concert with Increased tempo. There
are iiulte a number of pretty melodies In
"Tho Knickerbockers , " and though everyone
ono of them sots tlio old timer in the atidl-
eneo thinking of his favorites of other days ,
they are perhaps the more thoroug Illy en
joyable on that account. The sailors chorus
in the llrst act is a very old friend. Ono
thought is likely to como to the critical : if
these same numbers were sung by any com
pany other than the ISostonians , would they
command the approval of the auditors In the
same degree ; Uut taking the oper.i as It
stands and as It Is rendered by this great
company , it must bo said that It Is eminently
enjoyable.
"Tho Knickerbockers" has an intcrestiiiK
story , which was outlined in last Sunday's
Hce , and Mr. Smith's hook is a fairly good
piece of work. The opera was written fet
the nostonians , and each member of the
company east is perfectly suited for the ox-
eielse of his or her peculiar abilities. Miss
d'Arvillo was allllcted with such a serious
cold last night as precluded her appearance
as Katrina. Mr. Uarmibou made a humor
ously clever little speech about this fact ,
and begged the indulgence of the audience
lor Miss Diard , who , on short notice , assumed -
sumod the rolo. Miss Diard's performance
was pr.iisworthy to n degree. Her render
ing of the sweet little spinning SOUR
that opens the second act was om
of the musical features of the oven
ing. The piquant grace with which
she delivered her llrst song , "If There's n
Lad , " captivated the audience. Mrs. .Tussle
Hartlott Davis has uover been bettor fitted
wl'.h a part than in 1'riscilla , the Puritan
maiden. Her opening song was received
with no particular enthusiasm , but hci
spirited delivery of tlio Immediately
following wino melody evoked the
olil-timo expressions of apprecia
tion Mrs. D.tvis has long been accustomed
to awako. Then her work in the dalnt.y
duct with Mr. Hoff , "Upon Our Little Fiirni , '
was exquisite. Her cuckoo song in the lasl
act evoked the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr. Uaruabce never hau a liner part thai :
thaf 110 has care of in "Tho Knickerbockers , '
Governor William , a sort of male Mrs ,
Malaprop , whoso "dcr.ingoment of epitaphs' ,
ts very amusing. As a. singer of a pattei
song Mr. Barnabcc has no superiors , imd lit
gave his opening autodescrlptivo ditty , "Oh ,
a 'Truculent , Turbulent Governor- , '
with a line sense of the spirit ol
lines and score. All through tin
ouera ho was admirable , his capital comedj
wbrk never for a moment overstepping the
lines of true art , carrying the action alonj
where otherwise it might have lagged.
Mr. McDonald's Miles Bradford was all
nnd it is much , nn audience expects fron
Mr. McDonald , his song , "Tho Whistling
Sailor Captain , " being enthustically en
cored. Mr. Cowlos shone as Antony. Mr
Frothinaham's Burgomaster was a good bil
of low comedy work and Mr. Lang was sulll
clout as the Dutch sea captain.

The latest of the "prlzo tighter" plays
written for the solo purpose of exploiting om
of the favorites of the wlzo ring , was pro
scuted last evening at the Faniatn Stree
theater under the rather catchy title of "Thi
KiiiR of the Turf , " introducing .lack McAu
lilTo in the stellar role. Like all these modern
vehicles built to the " "
ern carry "fancy" ovui
rough places between lights , it ii
crowded with thrilling situations and start
ling climaxes , a horse race , a Hro scene am
the most realistic sot-to between McAtillffi
and Nelson ever seen on the local stage , giv
ing nn audience sufficient amusement for i
whole evening. ,
Duncan IJ. Harrison has written a vorj
acceptable play for the champion light
weight , and , although giving him all the bit
situations , ho has not committed the usua
fault of playwrights , writing for prize
lighters , of weakening the characters thai
tlio star might shine by his own rolloctec
light. On the contrary , it is a well thought
out and well balanced story of the turf am
the prize ring. Llko all of Harrison's plays
the villain is about as despicable ns men go
the persecuted heroine , who loves u prizi
lighter. Is lacrymoso and trustful , the soubrette
brotte Is full of verve and go , while Happj
Jack Donohuo ( Jack McAulifTo ) , the super
Intendent of Losllo farm , horse jockey am
gentlemanly lighter , is the embodiment o
self-sacrifice nnd devotion to the girl hi
loves. And McAullffo plays the part vori
acceptably , a decided Improvement over tin
Sullvan | , Cornctt and Jackson who havt
nold the boards at the Karnain Street theater
tor in the past months. U'hilo now to thi
character and somewhat weak in taking hi :
curtains MeAulllTo is not by any means i
bad actor , and ho is so thoroughly genuini
In his work that It was a real pleasure ti
walch him during the performance.
But the sot-to ! It will bo the talk of tin
town this morning , and deservedly so , be
cause It's a "corker. "

nlimg ttio Jersey side of the river oxeurslon
steamers , yachts nml tugs luaited to the
water's edge with people , piled up nnd down.
A score of p.itrol tugs kept them from passIng -
Ing between the two columns of war ships.
The signal boat dialling scurried up and
down the line with orders , and the police
patrol , assisted by the naval reserve on tugs ,
jirescrved order. The space between the
iNow York shore and war vessels was kept
open so that an unobstructed view of the
licet was obtainable from any point on the
waterfront. The blowing of 100 whistles
and the booming of guns at 1:15 : announced
that tlu > president had embarked , and al
most instantly the crows on the men-of-war
all along the lines went to positions facing
the r.ill , and at the mast heads anJ tops.
The rain had ceased , and while the clouds
hung low overhead , there were Indications
that led the anxious spectators to hope for
the appearance of the sun ,
St.irli.Ml Down the Line.
At 1 : HO the first boom of the 10-Inch gun on
the Mlantonomah announced that the Dolphin
phin , with the president on board , was pass
ing up between the two columns of war ves
sels. The roar of the Mlantonomah's
twenty-one gnus was followed by a salute
from the Brazilian ships Hepiiblie and
Tlrandentes. Then the Dolphin's reply to
the Brazilians was heard and a cloud of
smoke rose over the lower end of the line of
warships. The Brazilians manned yards
just before firing , and the long lines of blue
jackets stood out against a white back
ground of smoko. The Dolphin moved at a
slow gait , and the salute of each ship was
distinct and sharp. The Aquldaban , the
flagship of the Brazilian Meet , llnlshed saluting -
ing at 1:10 : , and the JJueva Kspana took Its
turn. The Dolphin was followed at a dis
tance of about NH ) feet by the Ulake , and
she , In turn , by the Miaiitonomah.
At 1ll : the Sea Adler of the Gorman licet
11 rod her first gun. She was followed a mo
ment later by the Uelnu Kogento of the star
board column , and the two ships , one on
each sldo of the Dolphin , made the welkin
ring.The
The Kalserin Augusta joined the chorus
and the echoes swelled up the palisades and
down again until one seemed to hear a long
line of artillery reach for miles along the
Jersey shores. Bands on the ships played
the national air , but it was only at intervals
between the roar of guns that the musU'
could be heard. The Van Hiii'.yko and the
Infanta Isabel salutes ran into each other.
Tnere was a pause for a minute , and Argen
tine's cruiser Neuva do Julio belched forth a
Hash that was responded to by a big gun on
the Giovanni Bausan.
When I lie Vesuvius Sjinko Out.
It was 1RO when the Concord spoke , and
she spoke so rapidly that her salute wan
done in two minutes. The /K.tua paid hoi' '
respects next. Then , after a short pause , n
light , blue pulT arose above the dynamite
tubes of the Vesuvius , and a few seconds
later there was a din overhead , as though
the sky was made of sheet iron and a bomb
had struck it. People alorg the river front
had not recovered from their astonishment ,
when a sharp tongue of lire shot out from
the slclo of the Jean Bart and there was a
report that made one scream and windows
rattle along the river front.
At - o'clock the Yorktovni and Arcthuso
sainted together , gun for gun. Then ther
was an interval , during -.which tlio band
could be heard playing and the cheers of the
sailors reached the shore.
The Chicago then opened fire , and a mo
ment later tlie Hussiun liynda added her
guns to the chorus. The Baltimore and the
General Admiral followed.
At 2:03 : the Tartar , the first of the British
ships , saluted. The guns of the Bancroft
ana tha San Francisco were going at the
same time. The British Maglcionno and the
Atlanta 11 red almost simultaneously. The
Dolphin lessened her speed as she a | >
proachcd the head of the Hue. and there was
an Interval between the firing from the
ships. Each vessel began saluting as the
Dolphin's bow came abreast. Ten minutes
after she had passed the Jack tars came
down from their positions on the yard arms ,
S.ilutod } > y tlio lihike.
It was just U:12 : as England's crack crulsor
the Blake , llred her first gun. There was c
big puff of smoke and a deep boom , entirely
different from the sharp sounds of tlio guns
of the smaller vessels. The Phlladelphli
saluted as the Dolphin reached the head o !
the line , and came to a stop Just in the real
of the caravels. At the same time all the
steamboats and pleasure craft blew theh
whistles and made a din almost as deafenln ;
as the saluting. There was a cheering nnt
waving of handkerchiefs , hats and umbrellas
and the triumphal procession of the prosl
dentlal party wus ended.
The whistles' sent up a cloud of steam
which , added to the smoke of the guns
obscured the view of the larger portion ol
the river. The admirals of the differenl
squadrons then embarked in steam launches
and proceeded to the Dolphin.
At 2:30 : the merchant marine was signnlci !
to got away. The Sea Bird , with the com
mlttoo on board , rounded the head * of the
double column of men-of-war and started
down the river on the New York side. The
Al Foster followed and the police patrol tugs
fell in line two by two. After thorn came
tugs , steamboats and steam yachts , two ami
three abreast , and all with whistles blowing
men shouting and women waving parasoli
as they p-issed each man-of-war.
The commotion that followed has nevei
been equaled on the Hudson river. Cloud ;
of steam rose from the tugs and blow across
the men-of-war. The i-rows of the rnen-of
war faced the rails and waved hats ani
handkerchiefs at the noisy tugs and steamboats -
boats as they passed. Several steam yachts
saluted the men-of-war witn one gun , whlcli
sounded like a toy pistol after the big guns
of the men-of-war. The whistles of the tugs
and steamers kept up a continual tooting ant
blowing from the tiuio they were given per
mission to start until the lower end of tin
long line of the squadron was readied.
Variety In tlin Nnlsu.
The monotony of the noise of the whistles
was varied by sirens on several tugs am
the lire boats. The passengers on th <
steamboats crowded to the side of the men
of-war , and many of the steamers seemed ii
imminent danger of capsizing. They wen
down the river with ono paddle wheel in tin
air and the guards under water , and tin
starboard deck awash.
1'ioni the time the president started 01
his tour through the lines until the Una
salute was tired , the weather was ciomb
without rain. The air was colu , and ai
unpleasant wind came out of the northeast
It was an improvement upon tlio forenoon
but it was not a pleasant day ou the rive
and in exposed points of vantage along tin
shore.
The reception of the admirals by the pres
Ident lasted until 4:10 : p. in. Then , when hi :
Hag was hauled down on the Dolphin and hi
went ashore at Ninety-sixth street , at i
signal from the Philadelphia the guns of tin
entire licet belched forth simultaneously
Each vessel fired twenty-one shots , and tin
roar that ensued was deafening. When 1
subsided smoke hung in heavy clouds eve
the river and the Jersey shore was luvislbli
for some minutes. The admirals turned ti
their ships , the steamboats , which llngem
with passengers desirous of seeing all of tin
great naval pageant , went to their piers am
the ceremonies wore over.

NEW YORK April IT. When the Del
phln reached the end of the line
in the neighl > ovhood of Nlnoty-llftl
street , she dropped anchor and made prepa
, rations to receive the commanding ofticers o
1 the foreign squadrons , who were prosimtoi
to the president by their respective minis
ters. Duly attired In full ceremonial unl
forms , with cocked huts and swords , the dta
llugiusued oOlcars mitnred tholr barges am
pulled off for tli/vpreMdcntml yacht. Sir
Jolm Hopkins , ttu ) . [ IrltlMi admiral , was llrst
received , n o win .presented by Sir Julian
I'aimcefote , thu British ambassador. Next
ramu Vice Admiral Knznnlioir , tlio Russian
ndmlr.tl , who wan presented by Prlnco Con-
tariizetu1 , the Ifu Liti minister. Hear Ad
miral Llhrnn of Jjlraiieo was third , presented
by M. Patmiotrcu iho French ambassador.
Then followed lu- Admiral Magnanhl of
Italy , for whom Uiuvu Ki vn did the honors-
The Spanish adtnlnil , Senor Yiono , though
1411 invalid , did not fjill to pav his ceremonial
mark of respect to the chief executive , and
was followed by Ifciar Admiral Howard of
Argentina , Hear , Admiral Norhona of the
Brazilian fleet , am } the blonde-haired and
blue-eyed captain ? of the German and Dutch
steamers. These visits formed one of the
most Interesting ifo.uures of the day. As
nearly all the foreign ofticers spoke or under
stood English the ceremonies were attended
by no still formalities , but , it Is s.iid , worn
marked by cordiality and some degree -of
conviviality also.
Ixnig after the launches with the com
manding officers of the various ships had
passed up the river the naval reserve and
police patrol boat maintained the cordon
about the fleet , through which no vessel of
the merchant marine was allowed to pass.
It Wilt mi i\cltliiK : Scene.
It was not until ) : ! ! , when the reception
ou board the Dolphin was well under way ,
that the line was broken between the
Dolphin and the New York shore , and the
many hundred vessels of the merchant
marine passed at the head of the Hoots and ,
between the Now Jersey shore and the
American warships , were permitted to make
their way down the river. Then followed
ono of the most remarkable sights over be
fore seen on the waters of the river or in
the harbor. Each and every 0110 of the
many kinds of vessels seemed to have eono
wild. They vied with one another to try to
make the most noise.
From the big excursion steamers ramo
cheer after cheer. The crowds on the
steamers were so great that the boats
seemed to bo on the verge of capsizing , their
port wheels scarcely touching the water.
For two hours the procession continued to
pass , and at times nearly blocked the lim
ited space in which they had to maneuver.
One gun was llrod as each yacht or steamer
passed n man-of-war , and the air was made
dense with smoke.
The three vessels that excited the most In
terest with the excursionists were the
English ship Blake , the French protected
cruiser Jean Bart and the Italian protected
cruiser .cKtna.
When tint rrenldent Dunmlmrkciil ,
At ' : " > 0 the president disembarked from
the Dolphin and at the finish of the salute of
twenty-one guns , given from the Phila
delphia , the combined fleet honored him with
a national salute , beginning with the Blake
of the English fleet and the Newark of the
American. Shot after shot followed in quick
succession , the smoke becoming so dense
as to hide the different ships. To add to the
noise , back from the hlijh shore of the Jersey
side were Hung the echoes in long reverbera
tions that rolled up and down the shore.
Tlio rapidity ot the lire from the Ameri
can ships was very marked , differing very
greatly from that of the others , which was
more slow.
An accident to the parade happened as the
reviewing ships were passlmr up the river.
Just as the Moiimouth was abreast of the
Brazilian cruiser Kcpubltca , the concussion
from the discharge of ono of her guns broke
nearly every piece of , glass in the windows of
tlio Momnoutli's ptnrbonru side. Fortu
nately no ono was injured , and beyond a
momentary scare , nothing happened.

New YOIIK , April ST. The Columbian ball
tonight at the Madison Square garden was ,
in respect to uiamilliccnco of decoration and
arrangement , and to. the large number ol
world-famous guo.-Us present , tlio most
splendid over givtfil 'in the new world.
Besides the president and his advisers ,

namesake and llncdlf descendant of Christo
pher Columbus , thoro- wore the diplomatic
corps , the admirals.and subordinate ofllccrs
of every great naval power In the world ,
governors of neighboring states and famous
army offleers.
It was , in fact , a gathering of celebrities
so gloriously arrayed that the oldest and
most traveled guest acknowledged that
seldom , or never before , had ho over soon
a parallel to the gorgeous picture presented.
The decorations of the garden were rich
and elaborate , eclipsing in their magnltlccuco
and elegance , any thins over before attempted
in the great auditorium. The main entrance
had been draped with a background of pure
white , festooned with a delicate tracing of
smllax and asparagus sprays , and cut llowors
and rare exotics were profusely distributed
through this rlcn , green ground , with many
i.itricato lights , shining from out the mass
of flowers and verdure. A silver dragon
with great bulging eyes , guarded the Madl-
son avenue entrance.
In the center of the garden thousands of
sprays of lilies of the valley formed an arch.
Upon the keystone was perched a smiling
cupid , whoso fairy wings were studded with
miniature lamps and who held in his hands
a chain of varl-colorod oleotrio lights. Tlio
base of the arch was composed of many
colored lights , whoso hues were constantly
changing. Surrounding this beautiful arch
was a grove of palms and largo follago
plants , half hidden , and amidst their verdure
was a Japanese juggler , balancing a bamboo
wheel of colored revolving lamps.
A OorifooiM I'luco of Decoration ,
At the Fifth avenue end of the gai'don
was placed an Immense Japanese fan ,
studded with electric lights ; directly beneath
this was the receptiondlas. It was gorgeous
with llowers and plants , and at the two
corners were dragons , such as guarded the
entrance to the garden. Across this in
huiro letters of light wus this : "A Now
World's Welcome. "
A magnificent model of the capital at
Washington , created out of white capo
flowers and Illuminated with electric lights ,
rested upon the stage of the assembly room.
A minaturo reproduction of the ground in
natural plants surrounded it.
The Hungarian band occupied the lowei
end of the stage , which was banked with
palms and cut llowers , while the broad stair
ways between the assembly room and the
amphitheater was entirely covered with a
drapery -white - and gold and festoons ol
smllax nnd tiny lamps.
The balcony pillars were twined with
smilax nnd llowers , and the entire roof ol
the garden was hung with a canopy of white
nnd gold , dependent from which were hun
dreds of clusters of the flags of all nations.

NEW YOIIK , April 7.The darkness veilet ]
the Columbian neet at 8 o'clock tonlcht une
not a sound wax heard by landsmen from thi
anchored battleship * , Suddenly n ray of
light shot up front the Philadelphia. It was
mint , dueling nml seemed to pierce the sky.
Fur n niomont It remained stationary nml
then disappeared. That was the signal for
til" scheduled display of thiu'lectrlcnl search
lights with which tlio war vessels nro pro-
vlilcd.
Following the Philadelphia's load , the
Americans showed the many ways In which
the lights are used In active warfare to pro
tect themselves front attack uf these marine
terrors , torpedo boats. At times the pro
jected rays were concentrated at certain
siwts on shore , then turned far up the Hud
son , making objects plainly visible at n dis
tance of live miles. Following ciiinu another
signal nnd simultaneously every light In the
lleet was turned toward the zenith. Slowly
the rays converged until they formed the
npo.x of n brilliant silvery pyramid of Incal
culable height. Kxperls say It could have
been seen soventy-llvo miles nway In any
direction , it was a sight never before seen
and never to bo forgotten by the land lub
bers. Seventy lights wore used in thedis
play. They are nearly all of French make ,
each light being valued at $2,000.
The majority of the warships carried two
search lights. Abo.ird many ot the larger
vessels , four are carried.
