SHOWS WELL IN LIGHT WINDS Constitution Easily Out-| distances the Inde- pendence. Herreshoff's New Boat Is a| Marvel in Speed and Sailing. AR ! NEWPORT, R. L, July 8—If the vic- tory of the Constitution over the Columbia . and the Independence in the first of the | three-cornered races Saturday was sig- | nificant and definite, her winning to-day may be characterized as overwhelming, and the defeat of the Independence positive and almost hopeless. The ap- proach of evening again found the com- mittee anchored far out in Narragansett Bay, along with the catboat which marked the other end of the finish line, tediously | ting for the Boston boat to cross, | while her rivals were well up the har\)ur‘ on the way 1o their moorings. | The new Herreshoff boat had beaten the | Columbia by nearly a half-hour over the thirty-mi course, while the record against the Independence was more than an hour.

Amazingly new it all sounds; its well su- ed pill as modern a necessity as that f the day of its compounding. The play will go better in a few nights than it did last night. The waits were long, the action lagged and at twenty-five minutes after 11 o'clock, when I left the theater, there was still an act to come. It speaks well indeed for the interest of the performance that almost all of the audience was still waiting for_ that last act when I left. Like all of Miss Rob- erts’ plays, “The School for Scandal” is aged astonishingly well, costumed fit- tingly and carefully thought out. It is as well cast as the resources of the com- pany allow, and a very creditable per- formance {s given. Miss Roberts, of course, does the bewitching Lady Teazle, and adds another intelligent conception to her repertoire. She looks and acts the part with much grace and wears two or three “‘monstrous fine gowns,” to speak in the fashion of the period. Barton Hill, in addition to the manage- ment of the comedy, assumes the' role of Sir Peter Teazle, and gives a pleasing and careful study of the role. White Whit- tlesey is a very efficient Charles Surface, with an excellent foil in Luctus Hender- son as his hypoeritical brother. He does good work throughout as the fascinating spendthrift, and.George Webster is a suf- ficient Oliver Surface. Of the smaller parts, Marie Howe is ad- mirable as Mrs. Candor, Agnes Ranken a not particularly convincing Maria and Lillian Armsby ‘4 sufficient as Lady Sneerwell. Edwin Emery as Careless needs suppressing somewhat; there is too much of him for the size of the part. But the play is on the whole worthily given and it is a privilege to see so worthy a play thus given at the price. gt Columbia. Charles Frohman's great stage specta- cle, “Under Two Flags,” with Blanche Bates as Cigarette, is now in its third week at the Columbia Theater, and indi- cations point to a continuance of the present big business. The thrilling ro- mance is superbly presented and in the wonderful sandstorm_ scene a triumph of realism is achieved. Miss Bates continues to impress all as one of the few actresses on the American stage capable of por- traying the passion of Ouida’s fervid he- roine, and at every performance she is obliged to respond to the recalls of the enthusiastie audience. I Grand Opera-House. There were flowers galore for beautiful Mary Van Buren and plenty of applause for ‘T. Daniel Frawley at the Grand Opera-house last evening, besides an en- thusiastic audience that showed its ap- proval for Gillette’s great play, “Secret Service ™ ' “‘Secret Service” is not a perfect fit for the Frawley peopie, but it is a tremen- dous big play .that might survive even of course, is not still ev Thorne, but nevertheless, his version of | the role is an intelligent and convincing one. Mary Van Buren made a very pretty Edith Varney, Chnstine Hill as Martha, one of the negro servants of the Varney home, has only one sceme, but she mude that scene tell. Pearl Landers was hard- ly equal to the requirements of her role, First and foremost of all the cast in point of strong acUng is Morgan. As Benton Arrelford he has a part that fits his clenched-teeth style of delivery, and though all through the play he has the | audience against him, he still managed to make his role the star one of the play. “Secret Service” is splendidly staged and should draw well during its one week run. e Central, Gillette’s “Held by the Enemy,” as pre- sented this week at the Central Theater, is an example of a good play mounted, scened and costumed as it should be. One of the most startling of the realjstic ef- fects is the bombardment in the third act, when a shell burste blazing through the wall of the divisicn headquarters. The wall catches fire and the effect is so start- Lake City. For full information ask L. M. Fletcher, 126 California street, . ling and so real that most of the audience believe that it is a real fire in the theater. The play is well constructed within th: lines of probability and is alive with ac- tion. The thunder of the cannonade is real and the clattering of the hors hoofs 15 surprisingly well simulated. ast night the gallery was enthusiastic. It rose to its many noisy feet and whistled | and velled for Juliet Crosby and James | M. Brophy at the end of each act, and ! when the curtain fell on the third act| the two were called before the curtain, where Miss Crosby was loaded down with | | roses, and a speech from Mr. Brophy was | insisted upon. The principals had good support from } Georgie Cooper as Susan McGreery, Mar-| | | | garet Marshall as Euphremia, George Hernandez as Uncle Rufus, Willard Blackmore as Lieutenant Godenhay: | Stanley Ross as the newspaper co spondent and James Corrigan as the brig- adier surgeon. The picturesque drama without a villian is played up to the han- dle and is one of the most brilliant suc- cesses of the year. Tivoli. “The Babes in the Wood” has caught on at the Tivoli Opera-house, which was crowded last night with a delighted and appreciative audience. The extravaganza is full of fun and the topical songs last night were encored again and again. Fer- ris Hartman and Harry Cashman as the two tramps, Edward Webb and Annie Myers as the babes, Maud Williams as the teacher, Arthur Cunningham as the fam- ily physician, Alf C. Wheelan and Ber- vice Holmes as Sir Rowland and Lady Macasser are all admirably suited to the humor of their parts., Cunningham's song, “The Wiil-o’-the-Wisp,” was splendidly rendered. The beautiful trans- formation scene is a fitting climax to the successful piece. e Orpheum. Gilbert and Goldie, who are again at | the Orpheum after a year's absence, were | Biven a most hearty Teception last even- ing and bid fair to be the hit of the sea- son. Emily Lytton and Charles Bowser put on a new sketch called ‘‘Next,” and scored a genuine success in the sKit.

The Chutes has an excellent bill this week, Richards, the cartoonist, scored a hit with his clever work, Flatt and Suth- erland are also good in a musical act.

Lester Reeves made quite a hit at the Olympia last evening., Ione in poses plas- tiques is still a popular attraction and the rest of the new bill is good. Flanigan Protects His Lambs.

Frederika A. Erb, an elderly woman, who was belng held at the Recelving Hos- gltsl pending an examination regarding er sanity, committed suicide in her cell in tha insane wurd yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Swett, ihe matron of the hospital, left the patient a few minutes before the tragedy and went to the telephone to or- der a meal for her from a near-by restau- rant, When she returned the matron no- ticed that the wicket of the cell door had been stuffed, and she opened the door to investigate, As she entered the ceil the lifeless body of the suicide fell at her feet. The condition of the cell showed that the victim was determined in her effort to end her existence. She had raised the heavy iron bed upon end end made fast a sheet to its upper rung. The other end of the sheet was wound tightly around the woman's neck. The woman by kneeling on the floor and pressing her head for- ward slowly strangled herself before the matron’s return. Mrs. Erb was brought to the hospital esterday morning by her son. He said n his application to have her committed that she was insane because of a religlous mania.

The Mayor transmitted to the Board of | Supervisors yesterday a copy of the letter | received from Andrew Carnegle, offering the city of San Francisco $750,000 for the erection of a central library and branch libraries. In his letter the Mayor says: | The thanks of our city are due to our gen- erous benefactor.

It was | also referred to the Educational Commit- tee with instructions to pregare a resolu- | tion thanking the donor for his munificent offer. The Mayor also cabled a reply of | thanks to Carnegie. The property owners in the neighbor- hood of the park originally known as Mis- | sion Plaza and bounded by Mission, West Mission, Twelfth and Thirteenth streets | petitioned the board to institute condem- nation proceedings and take necessary | steps to have the property improved as a | city park. The petition was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

W. Harrington of Mod County against J. E. Raker and G. F Harris, attorneys for the Lookout lynch- ing suspects. Raker and Harris petitioned Judge Har- rington for a wjit of habeas corpus for A. C. Colburn, an important witness for the State. The petition was summarily de- nied, and on the ground that the docu- ment was disrespectful in its n;nc the at- orneys were adjudged guilty of contempt ind entenced to pay 4 fne of 00 or &0 to jail for a period of five days. Harris has already spent three days in confinement, but Raker left town, and a though a pench warrant was issued f his arrest he arrived safely in San Fran- cisco and presented his petition to the Supreme Court. He alleged that his peti- tion to Judge Harrington contained noth- ing disrespectful or unnecessary in a proper presentation of the case. The Supreme Court directed that Harris be immediately released and that no fur- ther action be taken in the matter umtil August 5, when all three of the parties med are ordered to appear before X in_bank. [hhtn)?r:(‘»y Raker is confident that Judge Harrizgton cannot sustain his actjoh and that the decision of the Supreme Court practically amounts to a dismissal of the case. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus tor A C. Colburn will be filed with the Supreme Court to-day. Mr. Raker states that the three lynching suspects who are now held without bail are men of estima- | ble character and have the sympathy and support of the community. He states that there is little evidence against them and that there is no question that they will be acquitted. Benefit for Dominican Sisters. A lecture by the Very Rev. J. L.
