This is the second season Of entertainment of this style Inaug urated by the associtlon. The class of music heard last night by an audience as cultured and nearly as large as that In attendance at The Remenyl concerts a" few evenings before is indicative of success for the future performances. The opening and concluding numbers for the string instruments represented the old and modern schools of music respectively. The first was eighteenth century music, a concerto in D minor, by Bach, arranged for two violins and piano; and the latter a string quartette composition by Cherubinl, In D minor also, written a century later. It Is an elaborate composition in five different movements, and afforded an excellent opportunity for the display of the versatility in execution of the perform ers.

The singing of Miss Florence Boese, of New York city, was a pleasing reve lation. It had been announced that she would sing and hor appearance was waited with Interest; few, how ever, were prepared for her delightful effort She has a full and flexible voice of muoh sympathy and tendorness and knows how to use it, her execution being almost perfect. Miss Boese Is a favorite artiste at the New York so cial functions and has been heard at many of the assemblies and similar af fairs at Sherry's and other saloons. The violin solos of Miss Ellsbeth Winton were also a commendable part of the entertainment features. Mrs. A. M.

Bam Cavan- augh, spent Wednesday over on the West Side, working an old, moss-grown tramp dodge which finally resulted In his being chased out of the city. This sleek individual gave out the Im pression that he was "crooked" and that he had a lot of knives and shears, which he was willing to sell cheap If he could find purchasers who would not be particularly Inquisitive as to where he got the goods. His game did not work successfully, for among the very first men that he struck was one who gave him over to Patrolman Peters. When he was brought up In police court yes terday morning he did not by any means try to give out the Impression that the goods were stolen, but on the contrary had a Penn avenue auction eer at hand to testify that he bought the goods tor good hard cash. As in the green goods game, where the victim Is as muoh of a sinner as the victlmlzer. it was thought by the police that no witnesses could be secured against Cavanaugh, so he was allowed to go with a warning to be out of the city before noon: He took the dis charge and needed the warning.

Mot. 14. , MD STftHD LOVE STORY Captain Aison Really a Star U a ', Base BaU Drama. NATIONAL GAMB IS STAGED "a Dm rnlt" la the Onlv Ptsv Founded on the Great American ' Sport-iA Bishop Figures in the Math Inning. Captain A. C. Anson, the noted base ball player, made his debut as a dra matic star In Syracuse- last night In "A Runaway Colt," a play written for him and around him by Charles A. Hoyt As he Is the base ball hero of America, he becomes the consistent star of the only base ball play ever staged, and he has no minor part In the cast, but Is on the stage In every scene from the rise of the curtain until he makes the home run hit In the last act which "rings down" - the proper climax. The scene of the first act Is laid In the home of Rev. Dr. Manners, near Racine. Wis., says the New York Her ald. There Anson goes to visit the minister's son. Manly Manners, who is a famous young college pitcher, and whose services the Chicago captain wants to secure for his club. Manly's parents look upon Anson and all pro fessional ball players as ruffians, and rather reluctantly consent to let Man ly Invite hihi to dinner on the day of his arrival. But Anson announces himself as Mr. Adrian, a friend of young Manners,, and is received by the mother and by Mercy, the young col legian's sweetheart, who do not sus pect that they are entertaining the awful, ruffianly Captain Anson. Both ladles do their best to entertain "Mr. Adrian," and the fun begins. . The subject of Manly's infatuation for base ball arises, and the "Old Man" is com:elled to hear some "hot stuff" about his own supposed brutality. They tell "Mr. Adrian" that this awful man, Anson, Is to dine with them that evening. Just then they get news that the bishop is also coming to dinner, and the two women almost faint. To think of their bishop meeting that boor, Anson, the ball player! They finally bag "Mr. Adrian" to make one of the dinner party just to help lighten the disgrace which the presence of Anson will be to' the bishop-elect and "Mr. Adrian" consents. - - Adrian's Knowledge of Base Ball. In this scene the heroine, Mercy, sud denly asks: "Mr. Adrian, do you know anything about base ball?" - And "Adrian" promptly replies: - "Not a thing. The only people who do know nil about it are the base ball reporters." Then the mother asks what his busi ness Is with Manly, and Anson, In order to maintain his incognito till Manly comes in, replies that he wants to em ploy the son to travel at a salary of $2,400 a year. Ho describes the busi ness: "To travel more or less; to handle leather zoods and In certain cities to deal with strikers." "I suppose that would be out West?" suggests Mrs. Manly. "In the West and South," says An son. "There are no btrikers In Now Tork, are there?" Inquire the mother. Then Anson givos a body blow to the 1895 Giants: "There haven't been any this year In my business. The mother goes out of the room and sends a servant In with a glass of wine for "Mr. Adrian." It is waved aside and the servant charged with the mes sage: "Thank her kindly, and ask her to pardon me for declining, as I don't in dulge." . This line was written to emphasize Anson's well known abstinence from the use of all liquor. At dinner Anson, ns 'Mr. Adrian," meets the bishop, who In his college days had been a pitcher for a ball team, too. The bishop recognises Anson and greets him warmly, being a great ad mirer of the Chicago captain. This commendation of Anson and his advo cacy of base ball playing are so cordial that the Mannerses change their opin ion of professionalism and let them selves be persuaded by the bishop to consent to Manly's playing ball for the tnicagos. The second act Is laid at the Ponce de Leon hotel, at St. Augustine. Fla.. where Anson has taken his colts for practice. The scene shows "the Pool" at that hotel. The Manners family are also guests, likewise the two villains, brothers named Halght, one of whom is conspiring to force Mercy to marry him. The other Is a gambler, who plots to get Manly's younger brother, Dalton. Into serious trouble, and In the third act he succeeds. ' Old Maid After Anson. In the party at the Ponce de Leon Is an old maid who, ignorant that Anson Is a married man. Is following him around and plaguing him with her marks of affection. In one of his dilem mas Anson asks Manly to help him. Don t leave me alone with her." he says, "or I'll expel you worse, I'll sell you to Louisville." The third act shows the Chicago club gymnasium on visiting day. The scene presents a fully-equipped gymnasium, with horizontal bars, rowing machines, punching bags and other things. Dur ing the act specialty acts occur. - In this act the villains get the young er brother Into their tolls by Inducing him to bet 12,000 which had been In trusted to him as a bank messenger, on the result of the Chicago-Baltimore game, which Is to open the season, and In which his brother. Manly, will pitch for the Chlcagos. They feel pretty sure that whith the "the amateur" pitching against the. .champions the Chlcagos Will be defeated. Dalton will be In the toils, and to save him from prison Mer cy will marry the chief plotter. But to make sure of It the gambling brother is Induced to go Into Anson's dressing room and bribe him. A great noise fol lows his entrance to Anson's private quarters, but when he emerges some momenta later the terrible result of his efforts to bribe "the old man" is most marked. - . The events ,of the last act take place In the upper tier of the grand stand of the Chicago base ball ground during the progress of the great Chicago-Baltimore base ball game.. In the first part of the act the spectators are seen com ing "up stairs" by means of a trap stairway from under the stage. There are Cullom, Dixwell. Fldler, Hopper, Delia Fox. "Nat" Goodwin, and all the characters of the play. Harry Stevens, the celebrated score card man, greets them all In turn, and later on announces the progress of the game, while Dixwell and Cullom have a set-to at repartee. Before the game begins Halght dis closes his power over Dalton to irercy and drives her to agree to marry him It the Chlcagos lose the game. Then she sends for Anson, .who knows all,' and begs him to save her from Halght and Dalton from the penitentiary.' , "You will win this game to-day,, cap tain?" she pleads. "I'll try to do that anyway," comes the reply, which is . expected to .bring down the house. Adrlsn's Grand Bin ft. . A little later he says: "My dear little woman,, base, ball Js mighty uncertain. But I'll play to-day a.s I never played before, and If I don't hit the ball, then the old man has lost his 'good eye.' Go In there, smile at your sweetheart, and don't lose hope till the last man Is out." - The final scene shows the progress of the game ubi the effect It has on 'the different phartctera. .The ninth Inning is played Xmjbrete.: Every ball,1 strike and decision- fcvhsjsrtl Jr the usaplre, Stevens announces every bit error, or stolU base.- The reajlstlo crack of the bat la a great triumph In stage aevlcev The game stands t to 9 against the ChicagvR, with two oat la the last halt of the ninth Inning. Dahlen Is on base and Anson at bat Two - strikes and three balls have been called, McMahon pitching. Then comes the sound of ball and bat squarely meeting. Anson makes a home run hit over the fence and wins the game. Curtain. During the excitement while Anson is at bat the bishop, who Is one of the root ing spectators.lB appealed to by Mercy's Bister to "pray that the Chlcagos will win.. The response Is philosophical rather than orthodox: "My dear 'Babe,' it Is too late to pray; make all the noise you can and rattle the pitcher." The play was originally written for the Polo ground, but the scenes had to be changed to Chicago. That home run tilt would have had to be made off Ru sie, and Mr. Hoyt correctly concluded that such a climax would not set a New York audience wild. When the play goes to Cuicago or Baltimore then Rusle will" be substituted for McMahon. ONE OBSTACLE REMOVED. Traction Company Will need Over the ' Robinson Street Strip. Horace E. Hand, attorney for the Scranton Traction company, waited upon City Solicitor Torrey yesterday, and Informed him that the company had decided to make a direct transfer of the Robinson street strip of land, on which their tracks now stand in ex change for the right of way along the center of the street. This very graceful act on the part of the company now makes the Improve ment of Robinson street an almost as sumed thing. The properties now abut ting on the track will, at the transfer of the deed, be made to abut on the street and will be, without question, liable for the cost of paving. The other obstacle, the fancy figures demanded for the land necessary for widening the street, will be overcome by condemnation proceedings, which will be Instituted by City Solicitor Tor rey in the course of a few days, ,' HENRY OPERA COMPANY.

A dozen pretty girls, some of them clever In their lines with five male members as a side Issue, compose the Henry Opera company, which per formed at Davis' theater' yesterday. The first part of the Bhow is somewhat slow, but the general effect is pleas ing. Gertie Le Clair sings several songs In an Irresistable way. She is exceedingly chic and charming. Kittle Clements in a rope dance gives a grace ful exhibition of endurance, and a win some miss gave the original Trilby dance. Her costume bordered very close to the "altogether." Rose Leslie and May Harding gave a realistic musical description of "I Don't Want- to Play In Your Yard." Their dancing was very good. The men folks of the company fall short of amusing the audience. The show Is a good one and Is worthy a large at tendance. The performance will be given this and tomorrow evenings with matinees. THEY MAKE MANY STOPS.
