"WALK YE IN IT. "
Demi ( Innlncr r lnt * Out thnWiiy nml. SlinttR
Hoinn Dancer * tint iiicotnpns : It.
Dean Gardner talked to the men at the
4 o'clock meeting nt the Young Men's
Christian association hall yesterday after
noon , Ono of the Interesting features was
the orchestral prelude , aad the singing by the
Trinity cathedral quartet. The attonjlanco
was very good , the largo hall being moro
than half filled.
The dean's address was In the nature of a
wanting to the men of the many pitfalls that
line the opathway of this life , and that
trust In self Is always sure to result in wrong
doing. The scriptural quotation , "This is
the way , walk yo In It , " is true in every
sense , and its meaning that the pathway of
the Almighty Is the ono' to bo followed ,
neither turning to the right nor this loft. Ho
thought that what was needed was more an
active sincere Christianity , ami : i strict
compliance with the ten commandments.
Ho knew that apologies were continually
being made for sins committed. The trouble
was that this Is an ago of speculation and
new things and there Is a dcslro to got over
the traces. For this reason many professed
Christians Insisted upon a slight violation of
t lie commandments. For Instance the lover
of cards would play for a small stake , and
apologize for the sin by saying that it was
done only as n pastime and for the exeito-
ment , and not for the purpose of gain. The
person who drinks found an aix > logy by pos
sessing some ailment of the body that re
quires stimulants , and yet the word is that
a drunkard shall no * Inherit the kingdom of
heaven. The speculator of today is doing
that which Is stealing , and the apology Is
progression. The worst'of all is the apology
for sensuality among young nen. In this
case the young man's father or some other
person docs the apologizing , aud says the
wild oats must bu sown.
To avoid the violations of the command
ments 'a guldo is needed for each and every
one , and the word of. God is the one that will
prevent a person being lost , and the troad-
lug of the narrow path will lead the way to
eternal life and happiness.

ONE MAN FINISHED.
Oiitcomn of tlio Urcitt Walking Match
from Onialm to Fremont.
That walking match was walked , all
right , but none of the walkers are saying
much about it. However , three or four of
the fast men of the pedestrian club are
keeping up .1 thinking that would paralyze
the brain of the average individual lu less
than one round. Only one man finished.
About 7:30 : yesterday morning Henry Los
tcr dragged his weary limbs into Fremont
and scored a winner , having been a little
moro than seven hours on the road , and
ready to make oath ho htm boon walking
seven days. But ho was the winner and
the sweet .strains of the Fremont band
sour.ded as dear to him as though ho hud
Just arisen from a night of peaceful rest in
stead of having Just completed what is
irobnbly the most wearisome tramp ho over
engaged In. There was a big crowd at the
loint of finish to meet the visitor and to
subsequent ! welcome the weaker ones who
'ell by the way and walked in on the wagon.
Ono of the stipulations of the match was
that thu route to be followed should bo the
old Military road. Four or five of the fast
est walkers of the club started out under the
lillotago of a member of the Guiding Wheel
club , the latter being suspected of faimliarltv
with the route. For about three miles this
side of Bcnnlngton the road runs almost duo
: iortn. At Bt'iiulngtou it forks , one going
west to Fremont , thu other toward 'Blair.
By some moans the pilot took the wrong
fork and kept on north , instead of going
west. When daylight dawned there were
four walkers and a bicycler In the purlieus
of Blair , and almost as far from Fremont av
when they loft Omaha. What subsequently
occurred will never bo known , but the next
tlmo that bicycler starts out to pilot iv pedes
trian tour ho won't do it.

rho'soeoiid of the Sunday open air concert s
of the season of 181)3 ) was given at Hanscom
park yesterday afternoon and enjoyed by
several thousand people. H was only marred
by the presence of a score or moro of small
boys in the bund stand , whoso antics and
nolso did not make the best setting In thu
world to the Wagnerian and Handelian num
bers on the program ,
The balmy ntmuaphcro was warmed to Just
enough of a summery degree to Invltn to an
outing on the green sward , where the rap-
Idly spreading leaves .throw a shifting , but
qulto accuptaulo shade. It was the first visit
that many had made" to the park this year ,
and they found that delightful breathing
spot In more attractive condition than over
boforc , although the spring's work Is by no
means as yet completed , The sward seemed
moro velvety and the walks and drives
hardnr and better cared for , although the
llowors that are to grace the many odd-
shaped beds are still In the green houses on
the west side of the park.
It was u.matter of regret that the ruins of
the burned pavilion still remained , and that
the park hoard had not moved moro promptly
in the work of rebuilding , so that material
bonotlt might have been derived from the
now structure during the early part of the
season.
The concert was rendered with all the ex
cellence of the full Musical Union band ,
under the painstaking and arvlstlo direction
of Conductor Herman Schunko , and gave
promlsuof the many delightful musical treats
that are In store for the people of Omaha
during the coming season.

It gives me great pleasure to look Into the
f.lccs of earnest young men , gathered from
ill i the statesami provinces , and oven
from over the sea , who arc met to confer
ilponathe interests of Christians in connec
tion with young men. I remember with
1' [ iloasuro ' that the llrst Institution I was over
1'Ii IiJ president of was the Indianapolis Young
Men's Christian association. I have always
retained my Interest In the Young Men's
Christian association and aduiiro its' work
and am glad to have been associated with It
tii tii i its bof Inning. The associations are bring
ing i religion Into business , and business into
religion. They are teach lug young men day
by day to live a Christian life. I do not believe -
liovo 1 a Christian profession Is to bo worn as
1c cockade , nor Is it to bo hidden away in a
cellar It is to como Into the llrst iloor
rooms and to bo lived out in daily life. "

Mr. Wanamakr ( : said : "I always feel
rich ] when I think I own a founder's share In
the 1 Young Men's Christian associations , and
I am rich In tno friendship of the older asso
ciation i men. If ex-President Harrison Is
proud of his record as an association presi
dent I am proud of the fact that I was the
lirst association general secretary. My con
fidence in these associations has increased
as they have gone on. They have grown
immensely in usefulness. " Ho asked the
stronger associations to help the weaker ones ,
and all stan.l together In their common
work. Continuing , ho said : ' 'Christian asso
ciation stock is being marked up by business
men. The most valuable thine a city has Is
its young men. Is thcro anything that so
merits the sympathy of a community as the
Christian associations that are reaching out
after those young men and offering to help
them , not In a humanitarian way only , but
as followers of Christ , tlio young man who so
loved them anu gave Himself for them. "

Ulchard Stahl.'d ' .tSald Pasha" opened the
seven days RO S. < JII of light opera at
loyd's New tnpatcr last evening and
.ho work was well received by
the largo audience that attended. Its
score Is pleasinely tuneful throughout and
ts action and dialogue nro entertaining. The
2alhoun O | cra company , which made
ts debut in Omaha last ovonlng , Is qulto
strong musically , much stronger than most
companies presenting comic opera at "popu-
ar" prices. Every member of it Is a vocal-
at of merit , and Mr Bache , the tenor ; Miss
Mlllanl. the prima donna soprano , and Miss
arrio Godfrey are artists on the level of the
.irlncipals of companies styled "loading. "
I'ho chorus Is an admirable one , the parts
well balanced , the voices strong , fresh and
clear. The ladies , by the way , are prepos
sessing of countenance and shapely of limb.
I'ho orchestra fills its part adequately , and
Welding the baton is the admirable Carl
Merlenn hlmclf.
Last evenings performance went smoothly
from opening chorus to finale. The company
las rearranged the opera In two acts , an
.mprovement. Miss Laura Millard as Se
rena looks charmingly and slugs particu
larly well , her delivery being especially
3lcaranu telling ; her volco possesses , too ,
that rare sympathetic quality audiences can
ipprcclato In an operatic soprano. Miss
my l csllo , announced on the program to
iing AHI , was prevented from appearing
last evening through sickness and Alias Car-
; 'ie Godfrey , who -"created" the part , took
icr place , captivating the audience by her
rendition and evoking a hearty recall for her
principal solo. Mr. Martin Bacho displays a
line tenor organ in the part of Tcrranorhls
rendering of "Two Ryes of Brown" being al
most flawless. Mr. Henry Loom's baritone is
very effective , shining lu ono of the notable
numbers of the score , "My Love is Like u
Lily Fair. " Mr. Thompson in the title part
earns high praise.
The comedy element of the opera is very
capably sustained by Messrs. Flint and
Calhoun. Mr. Flint is acomodian who can
sing oven better than ho can clown and Mr.
Calhoun presents a bit of humorous work
that cannot bo too highly praised for Its
moderation aud q lot offectiveness. At the
prices charged tl.o Boyd should bo well lllled
at every performance : the company and its
work merit all the patronage it can receive ,
putting up an excellent presentation of light
opera. _ _

"The Son of Moh to Cristo" opened a
week's engagement at tbo Farnam Street
theater yesterday and the excellence of the
performance should insure good audiences
during the remainuer of tlio week. .Tbo
drama portrays the closing scenes of that
adventurous and fascinating history which
constltutsd the most noted contribution of
Dumas to historic1 tlction. The company
which is presenting the drama this week is
headed by Fr.ink'Lliidon and his daughter ,

hilly equal to thc-'cxTgeneies of their parts.
The other characlcrt are assumed in a man
ner which If not iuaked by the highest de
gree of histrionic talent , is successful enough
to bo exceptionally enjoyable. The prologue
Is introduced to depict the death of Monte
Christo and affords ftlr. Linden an opportu
nity to win tho' faVor of the audiettco by
his strong portrayal of the dying
hours of the" : man of so many
mysteries ani adv'dntures. The llrst act
finds his son lighting in the French army in
Algiers under thojiirme ot Captain Alberto ,
where he is Joincrt by Dangler , who has
purchased the coltmdlc.v of his regiment for
the express pur'pos'e of forcing the young
captain into n quarrel and then having him
shot for assaulting It'superior oniccr. ilo is
partially successfnTnnd leaves for Franco ,
leaving Alberto wider sentenceof death.
The latter la rcsuuod by his sweetheart ,
Dangler's daughtsr , Eugenie , who has sought
her lover In the disguise ot a young dragoon.
The remainder of tno performance tells the
story of Alberto's re vengo on his father's
ono.niesand his own. and two duel scenes
furnish an ample clement of sensationalism.
Miss Linden as Eugcnio Dangler deserves
all tho.good things that may bo said of her
and Mr. Lindon's representation of the char ,
acter of Alberto was equally satisfactory-
La fo Woodson as an Irish corporal who was
proud to bo a soldier , but always sought a
safe retreat when powder was to bo burned ,
furnished tlio humor of the performance ,
and the remaining members of the cast con
tribute adequate support.

Sousa's new concert band makes Its debut
in Omaha today , playing at Exposition hal
this afternoon at : 'M and at S this evening !
The two programs , published In Tun Srxii.vv
lir. ! : , provide musical pabulum suited to al
tastes. This band is the greatest over heard
in Omaha , and the performances of Gil
more's musicians are remembered
The most competent criticism of the
east declares this. Omaha is gratofu
for the opportunity of Judging for itsnlf.
Tbo military band has too many an attrac
tive quality no orchestra however admirable
can peiscss. This fact may have much to
do with illling Exposition hall at both per
fonnances today. Certainly no ono who can
attend should miss hearing it.
School children under 15 may enjoy the
afternoon concert at a price within tlio
power of every parent In tlio city to provide
and the llttlo ones who have worked hani
through all the school year deserve the treat

HE Nonpareils aud
the Second Infantry
te.un from Fort
Omaha played the
Jlr.it of a scries of
three games for the
championship of
tlio city at Nonpa
reil p.irk , on Vln-
ton street , yester
day afternoon.
The Nonpareils
como out victorious ny the rather Ion-sided
score of f > to i ,
It was n delightful flay for n game of ball ,
with an unclouded sky and Just enough of n
brcozo to render the condition of things Just
right for perfect physical comfort. The consequence -
sequence was that something like a thou
sand cranks ami crankesscs turned out to
witness the snort.
And they enjoyed themselves Immensely.
for dcsplto the fact that the hitting was
light on both sides It was a rattling gamu
from start to finish , characterized by such
brilliant Holding that the r.ithcr numerous
errors canm and wont without apparent
notice.
Jellun was on the slab for the Nonpareils ,
and It was this fact that materially helped
them on to victory , .lust when Undo Sam
needed a hit , a nice llttlo liner say out over
short or past Flynn Jell would don that
stop-a-horse-car smile of his , give the ball a
tantalizing twist and Io ! a soldier tumbled
every tlmo.
It must not bo Inferred , however , that
there wasn't any pitching on the other side ,
for there was. An elongated specimen of
the genus mllitalrc , known to his Immediate
friends as General David Foutz McElvain.
did the convolutlng for the Infantry boys ,
and so well did ho do It that ho would have
won the game had ho been supported a little
bit. As it was ho struck out four men and
WIIB touched safely but for five hits , ono of
which was a lucky homer.
The bright particular star of th after
noon's performance was the second base
play of Sam McAuliffo. Ho played profes
sional ball , as did Harry Stonoy for the Gov
ernment.
About the CHIMP.
The soldiers were the llrst to lee the plate.
and .IiilIiMi opened up by allowing Colonel
Trapper.the old Texas leaguer.to wallc down
on four wide ones. This cut no ligure , however -
over , for ti'ieoy nailed him to ttio cross a
moment later as ho attempted to nip second.
Shea then reached station No. I on an ex
cusable miscue by McAulUTo. After Private
-itoncy had ponpcd tip a blub nno to Croft ,
Shanahau made an error big enough to eat
buy , on which Corporal Shea trotted over
the saddle rock.
That was the only tlmo the blue coats had
a chance to holler , for the next moment
Bradlord slammed thu nontenant out at
lirst.
lirst.The
The Nonpareils quickly tied the score.
Croft was sidetracked at llrst by a quick
throw from I.icutonant Wright , then Gen
eral McElvain plugged .Icllen in the ribs and
successive blunders by Major Duberry and
Adjutant E. Cody boosted him homo.
But that was all they did , for Gencrj.1
McElvain settled down to business and
otnick out both Bradford and Shanahan.
Both sides drew horse collars in the next
two innings , both pitchers striking the side
out in the second , .lolleu turning tl.o trick
consecutively , while General McElvain mar
red his work by allowing a man to reach
base on balls.
But it was clever twirling , wasn't It.
Again in the fourth the Administration
drew a prize in the Louisiana lottery a
blruk. and in fact kept on drawing them in
each inning until the game , was over , so In
fantile was their fondling of the stick.
Not so , however , with the doughty South
Side bovs.
So Tliof Won.
They saw General Frederick sitting in a
priviito box with : i smile wreathing his
handsoina face as broad as TUB Bnu build
ing , and they determined that ho should
have his money's worth.
So in their half of the fourth t'.iey began
to dish U up in largo ladles full.
Bradford slashed three gaping Assures In
the bland May atmosphere ami went nml
cast his manly form in the shade of an ad
jacent maple. Shanahan then pasted a safe
ono out Into right , and not to bo outdone
Champion Lightweight McAulUTo gave his
sable knickerbockers an extra hitch , and
biff !
Everybody thought that Spud Parish had
touched oil a giant llrecracker , but thov
wcro mistaken , It was simply McAulllTe's
club caressing ono of General McElvaln's
choicest slants , and before any ono could
fairly roallzo what had happened the spher
ical plgsKin was cutting its way through the
odorous cytisus alpinu * bushes way out over
the promontory in middle Held. It was just
lUo ono of Papa McCauloy's old-tlmo
smashes , and when the ball got back home
Sammy was there also.
"Hey ! hey ! hey ! " yelled the delighted-
crowd the same old slogon thst used to qua
ver on tlio air so often out nt Sitortmmtn's
p.irk ,
The next two men wcro quickly switched
off anil the .score stood : i to 1.
After Colonel McGiniss and Major Trap
per had been sent to the hospital In the
llfth , Captain Shea fairly scared himself to
death by cracking out a three bagger ,
which , in his fright , he endeavored to
stretch Into u homo run , but Mahoney and
Bradford wcro too alert for him , and when
ho reached the plato It was only to have the
ball poked Into his abdomen by Governor
La coy.
the throng broke out In an uproar.
In their half the Nonpareils made an
other pair. Timothy Flynn pushed ono out
over Major Trapper , and General McElvam's
very marigold fumble allowed Mr. Fox to
reach llrst ; then Croft made a hit and the
bases were full of black-robbed athletes , and
the Soldiers full of pain and prunes.
Jellcn followed with another buto , on
which Flynn scored , but In some way or
other Foxoy got tangled up In the shuDlo
that followed the return of the lull and Cor
poral Cody and General McElvain killed him.
Private Stonoy supplemented all this work
by a pardonable error , on srhich Croft ran In
and Jollon reached third , only to bo doubled ,
however , n second later on Bradford's llttlo
para bo ! U : lly to Major Trapper , which ho
tossed wings , logs and all to Private
Stonoy ,
By this tlmo all the vim had been knocked
out of the battle , and the remaining innings
were us gentle us Mary's little his torlo lamb.
Not another run was scored ,
But say , it was quite a gaum , wasn't HI

Nr.w YOIIK , May 14. If the wo.tther Is * at
all favorable the Brooklyn handicap will bo
seen tomorrow by the largest ciowd that
has ever b en seen in the Brooklyn .lockoy
club's enclosure. The race never looked
moro open.
An opinion was universal tonight that
Lamplighter would go to the post the favor
ite. Ho will probably open at 8 to r , , but if
Pierre Ixirlllard does not send up a big com
mission irom Johnstown , or If M. F. Dwyer
does not decide to plunge on him , Lamp
lighter ought to bo 8 to 1 , or II to 1.
Banquet oticlit to bo the second choice , but
If Mr. Dwycr decides to play his horse. Ban
quet will go to the post the favorite. Of the
others Clnrado and Judge Morrow will un-
qunstlouably find most support.
Judge Morrow Is as uncertain as an Indus
trial stock. Ho Invariably does what ho Is
not expected to do. In tomorrow's raeo ho
has all the advantage of a skillful iand com
petent 1 trainer and of being perfectly lit.
If the track is heavy there will boa plunge
on Mars. This gallant horse was for a long
0t
tlmo an object of abuse and ridicule. Ho is
of i an extremely nervous temperament , and ,
as --year-old , was never quite able to do
himself justice. Lust summer and fall Mars
showed Ills best form , and he was then a
really good class handicap horse , -veil up in
the second division. Ho has unlimited cour
age and ability to go twice as far as he will
bo asked to travel tomorrow.
Pickpocket was well nanuul. Ho has run
worst when ho should have run best and his
career has been ono long disappointment to
his stable and Its followers. Ho Is a great
horse In his trials and usu.illy a very poor
horse In his races. Ho will not lack prenar-
atlon , however , for his trainer , J. W. Hojrers ,
Is ono of the most foremost men in his busi
ness.
llnnitt | t In (5rout I'orm.
Banquet has never won a lomr race in the
spring and it will surprise every good Judge
if Banquet wins. That ho will bo well
ridden with Garrison in the saddle , ( rocs
without saying , and ho has been carefully
trained for the race.
Itussell docs not care to go a mile and a
quarter , and In addition Uusscll Is an over
rated horso. Besides , he has been raced lee
much , and it will bo a matter of great aston
ishment If this erratic and uncertain horse
should win.
( Jharada looks dangerous. Charade has
speed and couragn. If ho gets to tlio leader's
head in the last sixteenth of a mile
Charade's backers can go down and cash
their tickets. It is a great misfortune that
his owner could not got. Bergen to rldo this
horse for Sloan cannot do him Justice.
Nomad will hardly llgtiro in the race , nor
will Uaeelaml in all probability.
Diablo Is unclasscdand ouglit to bo at the
business end of one of his owner's sulkies.
Alonzo has not shown class enough to win
such a race.
After everything has been said the best
horse in tlio race is Lamplighter , and It is
thought ho will win and win easily. But ho
will have to bo free to win.
The Indications are that the handicap will
be run over a track slightly deep and slow ,
but as soft as anybody could desire , there
bein ; ; two or three Inches of loose dirt on tlio
top of the hard ground. If no rain falls the
time should bo between 8:08 : and 2:0' : ) . The
time of Dry Monopole , 8:07.1 : , is the record
for the distance at Giuvcsend.
