West Roxbury was foaled in 1859, and has been owned by the Messrs. Sumner since 1865.

All but the last two bave been winnersat Dexter Park. Rocket, Roxella, Startle, Trump, and Renown are full brothers. and sisters, being outof Nora Worth, by imp. Eclipse. Charley Green has quite a string of trotters at Prospect Park. Great Eastern is jogged daily on the road, and is expected to be 2 good horse in the free-for-all class next season, although for- the past two years he has not been at himeelf. Lula, record 2:15, will probably be bred in the gpring, and May Queen may also be relogated to stud service, although in her caso no definit de- cision has been reached. Nelia, with a record of 2:26, isreported to have shown a trial in 2:18, 2:18, 2:19 last season. Oxmore, a 3-year-old stallion, full brother to Trinket, is a promising one.

The track hus been placed under the management of Mr. William A.

His‘ terms to trot St. Ju- lien against his own time @:123), or against any other trotter or trotters, will be $1,500.

The town has,grown rich from its trade in the prod- ucts of the soil,and the liberal-minded people take much interest in the sports of the turf. The Jockey Club has arranged & magnificent program for June and July, and the owners of thoroughbreds will not be so blind to their own interests as to fail to nominate for the rich stakes which close Feb.2. If a man wishes to back his horse, to excite the applause ofa crowded d-stand, or isin search of a mar- ket, let him visit the busy metropolis af the Northwest. During the off-racing days he will find plenty of amusement in the city. He can study tho throng upon the streets, wander through the ificent stores, Visit the then- tres, enjoy the drives, or takean airing on the water, ‘The Jockey Club is astrong one, and it has the support of the best clusses.”” ‘The American-bred horses exported to Demer- ara over a year ago, and which carried off the honors bot at the spring and the fall _mect ing at Georgetown, have in been successful. ‘After the fall meeting at Georgetown they were shipped to Trinidad, where on the 20th and 30th sti Mecember they carried off thelr share of the ‘urses. ‘The weather is described as having Been very bad; rain falling during both days of ‘The first race was for the Morchants’ Pinte $900, two miles, which Love Chase won, beating the colonial-bred horses Frivolity and Cadmus, the last named Groping: dead on the track. ‘The Governor's Cup which followed was simply a race between Euterpo and Appoline, and an easy victory for Euterpe. event was the Portof Spain Purse, for which .

The meet was to have ended witha hurdle race, for which Love Chase “ walked over.” The death of Cadmus was a serious blow'to the meeting.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cuicaco, Jan. 29.—I saw in Tige TRIBUNE some weeks ago a letter from a retail drug- gist who was much annoyed by frequent calls for postage-stamps. Judging from the tenor of the complaints that he poured into the editorial meatus auditorius, he was the mildest and meekest pill-roller I ever heard of. I think he did not tell half his story, and hope you will pardon me if I attempt to complete it as it comes within my own expe- rience. . | P I am located near an educational institu- tio, and the students must be supplied with stamps. At least you would think so were you to hear them ask for them. Besides this trade, we havea large family trade, and, as we keep stationery goods as well as drugs, we want to accomnrodate our customers by keeping stamps for their use; but I assure you, taking it all in all, itisa thankless and profitless task, dnd one-has to do a great deal of talking to keep peace in the family. For instance, if you are out of threes and sug- gest that they use a two and a one, they al- most invariably ask: “Ts it all the same?” “Certainly.” “Oh, Iam afraid it won't go.” “ Just as you say.” “Well, ’) take them to accommodate you, if you think it’s all right” “i assure you it is no accommodation to “Well, Pll take them and try it.” I will give you a few more examples, as they occur in trade quite often: Probably at meal-time, when one is alone in the store, a customer enters with a prescription, which ina moment is being compounded ‘with all possible speed. Enter another customer, and a thir rst customer is’ in a hurry, and looks cross-eyed at you every time you peep around the corner of the prescription- case. You let them (No.2 an till 3) wait they begin to move uneasily about my store, and, not knowing their wants, you finally make a bold sally to ascertain them: The tirst—“I wanter see the d’rect’ry.” * Yes ma’am, its on the front case.” The second—“ Gimme a stamp.” You pass out a three-cent stamp. “Oh! I want a two-cent one.” You pass outa two.. She leisurely licks it, and, sare “ Which corner; this?” res. ‘ She slowly puts her letter on the show- case and presses it till the glass fairly groans. Then she says: ‘Oh, yes, I guess I will take a three-cent one, too.” By this time you are getting a little nerv- ous, but you pleasantly hand out a three- center, and, after it is snugly put away in her purse, you get your nickel and start for the prescription case, when she says: “Please put this stamp in paper; it will stick to"my pocketbook.” You wrap it up (anything to please the dear. creature), and by this-time customer No. Linsinuatingly asks if -her medicine is not ready yet. Another common occurrence is 4s follows: You are busy in the workroom.’ Enter lady. You go into the store to see who is there, and excuse yourself with “Just in a minute, madam,’ wash your hands, turn out the flame under the evaporating pan, and return to. the store, to hear the amiable creature with a shrill voice say: “Stamps?” “Yes, ma’am.”” “ Gimme one.”” * Envelopes 2? * Yes.” “Take one!” ving gotten the stamp, you cross the store and get the envelope,-hand it to her with the stamp, when she says:_“‘I guess Pll have you back this for me, and it'll save me - the trouble of going home and back again. ya course you are willing to save her that trouble, and “ back” it up in food style, but in doing this you ‘possibly blot it, and you travel off for another envelope. While you are writing the address she modastly remaris that it is worth accent to write it. But don’t you forget you never get the cent nor the pay for the second envelope. Well, she Teads the address, sticks the stamp on, ant takes the letter from her pocket and quietly proceeds to proof-read it, You politely ask: “ Anything more aig “No, Sir.” Occasionally this hint is taken, and with’ the iInoney, « Oh, excuse me,” they hand over which is frequently nothing less than a bill, with the remark : “ You will have to change DU for me, as it is the smallest I ave. In the name of the immortal Tweed, « What are you going todo aboutit2” You will change that bill if it takes tho last cop- per from the drawer, rather than trust her. “The next class—well, I will not classify them further, I will simply speak of indi- vidual cases that are often repeated : Some come in and in the most impudent manner command you'to give them a stamp. If, as it occasionally happens, you are out of them, they will slam the door when they re- tire, fairly shaking the building to its very foundations. I have sean people that I would usually call “ladies” display! ig thelr passion in this shameful manner. At other times, when disappointed, I bave had them tell me they would “go a drug-store.” Again they would insolently remark, “Why, t thought you kept stamps!” ‘And lastly, ‘Ar. Editor, what is almost beyond belief, 1 and my clerks have at different times been called from our bed between the hours of 11 p. m. and 6, m. for stamps.. The druggist’s night- bell is very handy, and always comes in for a food share of attention. Notwithstanding this neglect on the part of. the people to take the proper view of the stamp trade in drug-stores, they cer tainly must know that we are obliged and this re- uires as much of our time as it would of Melre if they had to go. We area long way from the centre of the city, and bave to re~ plenish our stock of stamps and cards from fwo to four times a week,—purchasing from $3 to $i2 worth ata time, I feel certain that our sales of this commodity will average $40 aweek, so you can form some idea of the time required to deal out this amount in quantities to suit the ople, and when con- verted into steps is only expressed by the al- gebraic letter x. - The Government should re- pay those that spend so much time in assist- ing them do their business, for if druggists did not keep them as they do, they would be obliged te employ other assistants at a great expense, Some time ago agencies were estab- lished, but were- subsequently withdrawn. Why, I do not know; put certainly theagents were never paid for their trouble. “They were, allowed 3 per cent, and were not allowed to sell over ‘a certain amount to any one party within a specified time, and, I think, were obliged to buy at least $50 worth at once. Shopkeepers who sel! stamps shoulda beeither engaged as assistants or be paid a good liberal percentage. A KNIGHT OF THE PESTLE.

CAMPBELL’S SUCCESS. “Peril? was my first success,” said Bart- ley Campbell the other day; “and do you know that success is more difficult to stand than adversity? Wecan all stand adver- sity—" - “We have to.” “Exactly; and that first success of mine was one of my most severe trials. Visions of greatness floated through my mind. Fame and fortune appeated to be within niy grasp, but it wasn’t. ‘Peril’ was first pro- duced at the Philadelphia Chestnut Theatre, with Charley Thorne, Phillis Glover, Harry Josephs, and Lillie Davenport—since dead— in the cast. E. L. Davenport was the man- ager, and it was upon bis advice that I relin- quished journalism and took to dramatic writing. After its run in Philadelphia I pro- duced it here. It was the third attraction after the fire, I think.” “ At that time the Academy of Music was the only theatre in the city 2” ‘All the others were in ruins. Who were in the cast? There were, among others, Phillis Glover, Hannah Bailey (Mrs. Sar- gent), Frank Lawler, and J. C. Padgett. Peril’? ran for a week here. Then I went East. What did [ do? I led a regular bohemian life for a time and had some strange experiences,—I wrote stories, poems, edited cooking-books, made speeches for political. aspirants with more money than brains. I recollect I was employed by a very unpoetical brewer to bolster up his business in verse. Parnassus and vats don’t hitch.”” “Tow was it that youfellin with Hooley?” the writer asked. . “Well,” said Bartley, ‘about a year after the Chicago production of ‘Peril’ I heard that Hooley had opened a comedy theatre in this city. Padgett was associated in the management, and when Hooley signified a desire to secure an author, the former, who had seen ‘Peril? recommended me. I was eager for the post, and put my salary at $25 a week and $10 a night for my plays. A bar- gain was struck. I recollect the day of my arrival distinctly. The city was. decked out in new robes of ermine,” Bartley poetic- ally remarked. “I made my way among bricks and mortar to Hooley’s Theatre, which had just been relieved of the building débris. Hooley surveyed my entire altitude when he first saw me, turned to Blaisdell and Padgett, who were standing near, whispered some- thing, and winked encouragingly tome. He moved off. I followed. Weé went into a neighboring saloon, then called ‘ The Marble Pillar,—the Sherman House wasn’t built,— and over hot Scotch Hooley unbosomed him- self. He began with the solemn statement that the whole thing was a failureanda fraud,—meaning the new theatre. He had been advised to start a comedy theatre by one of the leading newspaper proprietors, It had been running six weeks, and he (Hooley) had lost $1,800.” “I know this,” said’ Hooley, despairingly: “ that what they want isa first-class nigger band.. Unless comedy looms up ina couple of weeks Ill give’em burnt cork. I tell you,” the manager wenton, “we're ahead of the people out here, an’ Fe've got to get right alongside of ’em.” a : “Nota very encouraging prospect for a man who had traveled1,000 miles to join him, eh!” am “Well, no,” resumed Mr. Campbell; “but I talked the matter over with Hooley and tried to convince him thata city of this size should support a first-class theatre. Finally Lleft him, promising to go to the performance that night and try to discover why the people wouldn’t go. Ifound them giving a very peculiar entertainment,with one or two good People and a good many bad ones in the cast. What was Hooley’s despair I saw was my opportunity. The company had to be, reor- nized, and hetter plays were necessary. 1d Hooley what I thought was needful, and he readily agreed to try it. We opened with a new play called Bey with a cast com- rising Rate Meek, Phillis Glover, George diddens, Sidney Cowell, Clara Fisher Maeder, John Blaisdell; John Dillon, James W. Norris, and Josie Batchelder. The city had been thor- oughly covered with posters. Some four different suits of satin furniture had deen secured, we had a_ cor ‘servatory of natural flowers, much at- tention had been given the ladies’ costumes, and we were prepared to ring up in the Daly’s of the West. But the prospect for an audience, however, was of the gloomiest de- scription. The advance sale of seats never wwas worse, and when, about 5 o'clock, a TRIBUNE representative dropped in to ask us how we felt, Hooley threw up his hands, ex- claiming, ‘These prairie. people won’t have anything first-class; they don’t know it when they see it; we'll give them a nigger. show.’ ‘A very gloomy morning_had settled down to a Grisly afternoon. ‘Things looked very blue. I began to figure my cost of trans- portation to New York. At7 o’clock in the evening the sale was $45, which indicated a house of about $125. We stood in front of the entrance watching the rain, both too full for utterance. Finally, Hooley ‘sadly said, ‘It’s all up: they don’t want us. Let’s go to supper” We solemnly shook hands and arted. At a few minutes ‘before 8 t returned, and 10 my amazement discovered ‘the lobby packed with peo- ple, a‘ policeman keeping them in Drder, Hooley, wiping the perspiration from his brow and yelling at the ushers, who were quite as much amazed at the sight as we were. The receipts were close on $700. Then began an era of prosperity which cul- inated in @ profit ano a season of fifty-one weeks of $35,800. “There is no doubt,” con- tinued the dramatist, “that Chicago will sup- port a good thing when it sees it, but its peo- plein. theatrical’ matters are the worst in Aumerica to trifle with.” “And the panic swept this model theatre away?” he panic occurred durin; It the second season; but, notwithstandins it misfort- our profits averaged a week.” unt “Do ‘you recollect your second year’s com- any ?? Me ‘es, we augmented our stock of the revious season considerably. There were ames O'Neill, Louise’ Hawthorn W.H. Grane, Nate “Salsbury, Harry Murdoch, George Ryer, Eliza O’Connor, Minnie Doyle, and irs. "Fred Williams. At the end of the second year we went to California. From there we traveled to Brooklyn, N. ¥., opened a comedy theatre, and failed. For nine ears,” the author went on to say, “I’ve Struggled against fate,—sometimes elated, and sometimes very much depressed. My failure to get an opening in New York had so discouraged me thatat the end of last season I began to look upon the footlights as achimera. Lhad made up my mind to burn all my plays and return'to journalism. But all-at once the sky began to brighten. I wrote ‘My Partner’ in about four months. Thad had the drama mapped out, of course, long before. You know of its success. Then 1 produced ‘The Galley, Slave,’ a drama written some time ago., ‘Fairfax’ followed atthe Park Theatre. zt proved another hit. Mr. Longfellow, who bas seen the latter play, has just written me & letter, in which he says: ‘I have n 30 entertained, and I see Jn it the promise of an American dra- atic literature. mee Longfellow’s remark furnished the dramatist an opportun iy to desoant, upon a theme over which he always waxes eloquent “Tt was first established in the minds of the people.” said he, “that there could be no American drama. _ The possibility was wiped out, and we had first to assert an identity. ‘American works were received coldly and With a hypercriticism never shown the works of Sardou, Dumas, D’Ennery, or Corman. Walle ie Keene ime there a Wostl ent e sam i art invention among the Gaelic dra- matists when we regal ze xd the tema treated, — formt e staple of nearly evel qaaltety ay for years.” Mr, Campbell held that not only did the Frenchmen show a pov- erty of invention, but they were as piratical as their neighbors, stealing from one another indiscriminately. “ What we want to-day,” the author went on to say, “isa thoroughly independent crit- icism, showing no favoritism to the work because it is foreign or because it is Amer- ican. When this is recognized we shall have @ race of native dramatists.” The writer asked Bartley where he was going to get this race of dramatists from. From among the men who make a study of humanity,” he promply answered; ‘from the men who make an actual study of the melodrama of life; the men who are tellin; it in the columns of the daily papers can it behind the tootilehts. Let me say that I am glad the prejudice against writers for the ress writing for the stage is fast dying out. ‘here was a time when if a dramatic critic wrote a play, and he had that play accepted by a manager, he was ‘sneered at, and his honesty was assailed. He was supposed. tobe ever after under obligation to the manager, and the manager was supposed to have ac- cepted the play for the purpose of obtaining some favor. In London and Paris journalists do most of the stage work, and they are properly recognized as the best people to do it,. Before long the same condition of affairs will obtain here, Lhope.” LOCAL NOTES. “The Milwaukee theatre has been leased by C. S.-Sullivan. Meg Merritles, embodied by Miss Louie Lord, at the Lyceum to-morrow. This evening will see the last performance of “Carte Blanche” at Hamlin’s. “The Juggler,” a musical burlesque by Pohl and Konradi, will be the feature to- night at McVicker’s, where the German com- pany perform.

Chanfrau and his well-known “ Kit” appear at Hamlin’s during the en- suing week. Among the company are: Mr. ton Russell, Mr. ©. Helmick, Mr. C. Henry, Mr. N._C. Garland, Miss Josephine Baker, Miss M. Maurice, -Victoria Cam- eron, Air. W. B. Alexander. “Our Innocent Pastor” and ‘The Post mae wil be played in Afichigan the on suing week by a company organized by Barrett and Ginek B. Hamlin. Among the people engaged ‘are Wood Benson, Lester surton, E. Davenport, Robert Browser, An- nie Ryner, Lulu Francis. Already we have noted the popularity of “ Hobbies,”’ and we haye also dwelt upon the very funny people engaged in its presenta- tion at Hooley’s. Nat Goodwin could not have desired more than he has received this week,—the houses have been filled every night. The engagement closed last evening. “The Galley Slave” has done an enormous business at Haverly’s during the week. No such audience has been seen this season as that which assembled yesterday afternoon. Every inch of room was occupied on the lower floor, and the gallaries ‘were filled, the second being reserved owing to the demand. ‘The last performanc: will be given- to-night. ‘Mr. Hall, the Chicago correspondent of the Dramatic Mirror, this week devotes much space to a sketch of Dan D, Emmett’s life. Mr. Emmett was one of the founders of ne- RTO minstrelsy, and is now residing in this city, at 1623 Butterfield street. The corre- spondent, in view of Afr. Emmett’s services and his present condition, urges a benefit f the veteran. Theatrical business has been unusuall brisk during the past six. days, and “Drink” in its second week at McVicker’s has shared in the general prosperity. The last perform- ance of this, in many respects, wonderful production was given lastnight. To-morrow evening.Gus Williams will appear for the first time.in this city in his play ‘Our Ger- man Senator.” 3 Robson and Crane’s new drama, “Sharps and Flats,” was produced at New Orleans last week for the first time on any stage. Success was instantaneous. According to a letter, “the audience screamed over it in a way that vould make John McCullough sick with envy.” The piece will be played in Chicago during the next engagement of these fortunate comedians. Mr. G. W. Mitchell, a sensational actor of some celebrity, will appent for the first_time in this cityat the Hals d Street Opera-House to-morrow, evening in his character drama entitled “Tracked to Death; or, The Lad- der of Crime.” He will be supported by Miss Ella Briton, who is spoken of most favorably. The business at this house has been uniform- ly good for several weeks. The management of the Olympic have found in “Philip Gordon. Miner,” a card which has drawn fine audiences since its pro- duction, It willrun one week longer. ‘The art of Philip, assumed by Afr. Georre rock, -is a strong, consistent work, and Miss Meroé Charles has won favor by her gracefu! and at the same time forcible rendition of the female role. The Garrick Club intend to produce to- morrow even Charles Mathews’ “The Liar,” with the following cast: Sir James Eliott, Mr. Harry Reynolds; Old Wilding, Mr. James McKay; Young Wilding, Mr. P. Dunn; Papillion, Mr. A. N. Demarest; William; Master Ray_C. Demarest; John, ‘Master George Davis; Bfiss Grantham, Miss Minnie Allen; Miss ifrey, Miss Cora B. Lownsbery. ‘The performance will occur at the West End Opera-House. + A rather clever comedy called “Mother-in- Law,” played at Hooley’s last Sunday, will be repeated to-night at the same house. Dickey Lingard’s company will present it. The same organization will appear to-morrow evening for the first time in this eity in Au- gier’s “Les Fourchambaults,” a play which, adapted for the English stage by James Al- bery, was.produced at the, Haymarket, Lon- don, under the name of “The Crisis,” and won much attention. “The Palace Theatre of America,” as Billy Emmett calls his pretty West Side Academy of Music, has been drawing large audiences during the past week. The coming program embraces melodrama and variety. ‘Just His Luck” is the name of a play of a sensa- tional character which will seen to-mor- row evening, Mr. E. T. Goodrich play’ the leading réle. Among the specialists will be Ben Cotton and little Idalene, the vocal duetists the Stuart Sisters, and the Irish sketch artists the Carrolls. Thursday last a few of the members of tho old ‘Rreadian Club gave a dinner to Bartley Campbell at their old haunt—Downing’s. There were some twenty-five or thirty gen- tlemen present, nearly all of whom were connected with the stage or the press. It is needless to say that the affair was of the jol- llest character. There were but three brief speeches. . One, made by T. Z. Cowles, con- veyed the congratulations of the company to Mr. Campbell upon his success. Bartley felicitously and feelingly replied; and Mr. S. Steele followed in a few happy remarks. Since Monday last W. D. Eaton’s “ All the Rage” has been running to lar, e business at Haverly’s Brooklyn Theatre. e Eagle of that city says,of the play: “* Where the ob- ject of a drama resides rather in foralshing ‘amusement 2 plot is almost superfluous, fe ‘Mr. Eaton bas strung his funny situations npon a strong thread, and bas treated his plot.as well as characters carefully and in- geniously.

The scene fs the Royal residence of the Queen of Portugal, and the adjancts, accordingly, are stately in style and rich in color. The persons are the Qneen, the Prince Consort,—unavowed,—the Prime Minister an _ Wife, & Gypsy Girl, and an old millionaire. *The action is propelled: by a spirit of innocent intrigue but very earnest jealousy on the part of all the persons. The. incidents, though not particularly fresh,—since the dra- matic machinery is suggestive of the entire large class of fictions typified by Shakspeare’s ‘Merry Wives” ‘A Wonder, and ‘Don Cesar de Bazan,’—are yet well chosen, bright, and well managed. The plot turns npon the Queen’s jealousy of her consort, who hus to hide a Gypsy Girl in his closet, from which, to his great relief, she emerges asa torn Middy, and the subsequent. jealousy of the consort, when the Queen has hidden this same oyal Middy in her closet, from which. to her obvious comfort, he emeress as the Gypsy Girl. “Incidentally, the Prime Minister’s jealousy of his spouse, and the millionaire’s perplexity over the disappearance of the Gypsy Girl, whom he wishes to wed, and the advent of the Royal Middy who so closely re- sembles her, are made both to help the action and enliven the comicality of the situations. These are very comical indeed, as mpy be surmised. They occur in rapid sequence, and they are animated with brilliant raillery and set off with crisp and taking songs, and they provide occasion for much of that sort of action, which is like the flash of the rapier and the quick glance of velvet black eyes through lace and moonlight, when summer nights are fragrant and love is young.” PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY.
