Young Ladies and Gallant Young Men Fill the Stage. The Carnival of Musical Romances, presented at the Grand Opera house last evening for the benefit of the Home for Friendless Women and Chil dren, well déserved the unusually large attendance with which it was rected. Charmingly gowned ladies invaded even the bome of the gods, 'way up pear the zenith of heaven, where the heat of a midsummer night reached the climax of intensity. Every seat in the balcony was sold early, while the pargmette chairs were also in great demand. Seldom has the theatre held a larger, happier o: more fash i audience. . Why were they there ? Not because thie was the first and only attraction ol the sunimer season. Not altogether that it was presented by a New York Cardival company of considerable re pute. They were there because King- stoniany are ever ready to help out a god cause, and to pay kindly tri bute to home talent. Surely such at- wibukcs in a people are worthy of all praise and commendation. Any attempt to describe the cos- tumes or depict the scenes or tell of the impression they left engrayen on thie memory, would require more space than a daily journal, which seeks to record the eternal history of a busy world, can afford to give. ain, the Whig 'of Monday last published the programme in full, including the names of everyone who took part. In view of these facts, vaught but a general outline is now: necessary. The programme last evening consist. wl of the following scenes : "Corona tion of Titania," "Queen's Lace Hand korchiel," "Last of the Vestgls,"" "Sex tette uw La Florodora," Lovers' Quar- rel Gavotte," and "The Bohemians." Each of these presented a beautiful and animated scene that "drew audi ence and attention still as night or summer's noontide air." Ever and anon hearty applause, from parquette, balcony and gallery, swept over the livuse. The weores of young ladies who took part 'displayed, not only the result of careful, conscientious train ing, but a natural aptitade for the part they enactod--a grace far beyond the reach of art. Handsome maidens ii gorgeous costumes, passing in' free aud graceful manver through the in trieate and mystic movements, made § vp a charming scene that beggars de scription. Burely it was some such a scene as this Pope had in mind when he wrote : "Fair tress 's | ne Aud Downty seams nu wih & sorte parr In "The Bohemians" was presented a scene that was at once realistic and charming. In the back-ground stood a ypsy caravan, with the unattached orses peacefully grazing beside it. In front were the gypeies, in quaint hat picturesque. Bohemian costume, dance ing and singing. Their rapid move ments blew wide Thin, fluttering garb, and showed a tawny shin, The vellum of the pedigree they claim." The intricate graceful movements of the dance were accomplished with marvellous precision and ease that won them rounds of applause. The "Florodora Sextette" was a captivating imitation. The restraint and hesitancy that generally mark the work of the amateur was totally wiinti®y here, the ading was clever and the singing good. The following composed the cast : Misses Effie Fen: wick, Kathleen Drummond, Madeline Campion, Lola Martin, Irene Arm- strong and Hazel Massie; Messfs, S. T. F. HARRISON CO., UNDERTAKING, ETC.

"The Lovers' Quarrel Gavotte,' which is based on similar lines, was nally gracefully carried out, and elicited the heartiest applause. The cast included the Wisses Drummond, Taylor, Martin, Mundell and Fen: wick; Messrs. H. Taylor, C.

"Little Miss Marjorie Campbell was the beautiful queen of the fairies, and she acted her part splendidly, as did also Harry ' f Wade, the king of fairies. Miss Mar jorie Pense made a charming queen of flowers, as with her magic wand she directed the dance of the gaily § costuined fairies, who were, like sum- mer visitors in country villages, "too numerous to mention."

Professional Umpires to be in Charge of All Future Matches --Ponies Lost Again at Ant- werp--Other Sporting Notes. The St. Lawrence latersational League has decided to employ profes sonal umpires for the balance of their games. In a letter to J. T. Suthers land, seerctary Wheeler says: "I am sorry to say the league has decided to employ professional umpires hee after, 1 am notifying the other um- pires of this decision, but I wish par- ticularly to state that your work as an official has been entirely satisins tory to myself and the eatire leagoe, and on behali of the executive of the league, | desire to thank you for your carnest endeavor to promote the best interests of the game. We trust that our professional officials will be fully as competent a¥ you have shown yourself to be." By means of a mail vote the Inter collegiate football rule committee of the United States has decided upon a radical change in the regulations gov- erning this sport for the coming sea- son. At a meeting of this committee in New York several rules were modi fied, but two changes of such a radi eal difference were proposed that it was decided cach member should talk over the new rules with football au thorities at his university and the de- eigion reached sent to the chairman. These two changes were suggested : The opposing teams shall change sides after ened touch-down scored or field goal kicked, instead of between halves, as heretofore, and after g touch-down the try at goal shall be made by snapping the ball either for a place kick or a drop kick bebind the line of scrimmage. 'he former was adopted and the latter thrown out. This change does away with the great ad vantage very often due to a strong wind, and besides will, in those games where ome side is decicedly better than the other, distribute the play so that all the spectators will be able to see the game to a better advantage. This rule was the only change of any great importance, but the three follow- ing alterations were made: For all general fouls, such as offside play, tripping an opponent and throwing or batting the ball, a penalty °i from five to ten yards shall be given, in- stead of the loss of the ball; the Nm it of ran when a foul is made which did pot interfere with the play was extended from fifteen yards to twenty: five yards, and side-line coaching was censured as harmful to the game and as most unsportsmanlike conduct. The following words of advice aré offered by the Montreal Star to base ball players : He who hesitates is out. A closed glove catches no flies Strike while the pitcher is hot. Whare there's a hit, there's a way, The ear ly bird catches thé pennant. A fool and his base are soon parted. Good pitching in time saves nine. It's a short" game that has no kicking Never look a gift' pitcher in the mouth. The race is not always to the base runner. Two strikes is com: pany, three is a roast. Of the mak: ing of errors there is no end. If at firgt you don't sueceed, try the out fiéld. A veckless base runner makes a fat, score card. A swift rolling grounder gathers no moss. It's a poor bat that won't work both ways. Even the umpire will turn when trod- den' upon, Thomas McAuley has challenged Capt. Wessels to race steam yachts The boats are to be towed out oppo site Macdonald Park and a start made from cold water, the course to be around Cedar island and back, the prize being a barrel of flour for the orphans' home. Gold Heels, the greatest horse of the year, pulled up lame after winning the Brighton cup, and may never start again. The horse has won all the big open stakes on the metropolitan circuit this year, and was practically in a class by himself. Peter Lowery, on behali of Peter Maber, says that the big Irish pugi- list has no intention of abandoning the prize ring. Lowery declares that Maher is now. training and will be ready within six weeks' time to box any of the big men.

"Why do not the city authorities i wake up to a realization of this city's claims" as 'a wodel summer resort' Yhey don't seem to be aware of the fart that Kingston possesses innum erable attractions for the tourist and the sunuper visitor. I have read a number of guide books deseribing the beauties of towns and cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but I have never seen any mention of Kingston there. Why doesn't she advertise her claims ? A little money spent in this | way would, in my opinion, accomplish ! wonderful results. If the citizens of 4 Kingston had as much push and goin them as the Torontonians have, you would have a flourishing city here in a few years "The business men could do a great deal to help build up the city. 1 do not wish to say anything in partion lar against any merchant, but merely wo make a general "tatement The stores and places of business hore seem to me to be away behind the i tines.
