THE TIJEATKICAL SEASON. Openioc of the Park and Empire for the Seaeon Some of the Attractions. With tlj suspicion, at least, of the approach of cooler weather the local theatrical managers are arranging for the coming season, which will open a little earlier than usual. Messrs. Dickson &. Talbott have a large force of men at wak on their throe theaters cleaning them up. making various improvements, and. in a general way, getting them in readiness. Mr. Dickson is at the seashore with his family, bat Mr. Talbott is here, and one of the busiest men In town. As a rule theatrical managers have more to do do in advanoe of the regular season than after it has opened, for nearly all the bookings are made in advance, and these involve an almost endless correspondence by letters and telegrams. The attractions, about whose continuance "on the road" there is no doubt inaKe their engagements many months in advance. Mr. Talbott said yesterday that the bookings for Indianapolis this season were the bust they had ever had. A principal reason for this, he explained, was that managers ot high-elass attractions haa at last found out, and the knowledge was a long time coming to them, thjkt attractions of acknowledged aud wellknown merit seldom fail to have an adeem ate patronage in this city, greater, in fact, tbau in olaer and far wore pretentious cities. "We are holding considerable open time." said Mr. Talbott. "for new attractions that may develop later in the season, its wo have found this a wise thing to do. Without coins into details. I think I can safely say that wo will have nearly, if not quite, all the big attraction! this season. several of which have heretofore refused to play in Indianapolis." Among the notable bookings already made are those of the new Craigen-Pauld-lug combination. John Drew, for yer leading man at Daly's theater, whose first itarring tour Jast season was such a pronounced success, "The i'rodigal Father," Henry E. Dixey, in the new 'Adonis." Felix Morris's comedy company, Lydia Veaman's "Titus," a new singing star, Kosina Yokes. Julia Marlowe (for an entire week), young J. K. Kmxnett. K. H. bothern in a new play, "The Senator," 'Tbe Milk White Flag." Charles H. lioyt's new play; ft. C. GoodWin in "In Mizzoura," a new play by AuKUstus Thomas; "The Girl I Left behind Me." "Kobin Hood" Opera Company; the American Extravanaanz Company, ifi the revival of "ijinbad;" W. H. Crane, 1 auny Davenport, Stuart Hobton, Do Wolf Hopper Opara Company in "Panjandrum." E. is. Willard inarepertoiru, Mo ijesfca and others. The season at the Grand will open Aug. E3. with Cleveland's new united minstrels, at English's Ang. 31. with"A Kailroad Ticket." in which Harry Porter, of this city, irill appear, he having decided to return to the profession. The encampment week attraction at the Gland will be Lvbdi & Hoey, and at English's llaulou's new nperba." For State fair week the Gland will tiave Frank Daniels in a new and elaborate production of "Little Fuck," and English's will have the sensational English luclodrama "The iSoau of .Life." The Park Theater has been painted such a bright and noisy red that there is little chance for it to be overlooked by those who are hunting it. An experience of several years has demonstrated that it very seldom is "overlooked" by those who desire the class of entertainments it pTefeents. for it is well recognized by owners of theatrical companies as having the most steadfast, continuous patronage, and being the best managed of any of the so-called ''popular price" theaters in the country, fcuch an absolute dependence can be placed in good business there that com panies that play in no other theaters for this class in the country are glad to get into the Park. The regular season at this bouse will begin one week from to-morrow, with the Hoosier comedy "Zeb" as the attraction. The piece, which made a hit here last season, has been entirely rewritten aud some striking new scenes introduced, ono of them being a panoramie representation of the world's fair, in which l.'00 lineal feet of canvas are employed. The Park is being redecorated and mane bright and clean. It's time la booked sold until the middle of next June. Ihe coming season at the Empire will be inaugurated with the first appearance in this city of Harry Eaton's celebrated AfroAmericau Vaudeville Company, the only company. of its clans traveling, week coinmenoing Monday, Aug. -7. The second week's attraction at the Em pire will be a novel one, being composed of lady performers only, among whom are niuuy recognized htuhclass artists. The programme is made np of sketches, athletic leats. dancing, musical acts, marches, etc. Several of the leading attractions on the road will be seen during the early part of the season at the r. moire, among them Hyde's Comedians, the Night Owls. Flynn & Sheridan, ham DoWre's Own Company, lfico A: Barton. Fields iV Hanson. McCarty Mishaps Company, and other standard attractions. Throughout the season several dramatic companies will be seen at the Empire. ineluding 'The Scout," McCarty's Mishaps Company. "Ihe Kangers of the uockies," and many other popular attractions. . ENGLISH IkOADS. Trocess of Laying the Gas-Tar Macadam Itoada In Ilarrowgate. Engineering itccrd. Gas-tar macadam roads are built in Har rogate, England, in the following manner. according Ho the borough euginoer. 1). btead: The foundation material is first prepared by forming a heap of -U'ioch broken limestone. 6 feet wide, 15 to 18 inches high and of any convenient length. A tire of wood and cin ders is tton made on top and the stones gradually turned over until all are at the same temperature. 1 be stone isthen spread on an iron plate while warm and mixed with gas tar. after which it is staotted in a heap for a few months. The surface material is formed by prepar ing a nine-inch bed of furnace ashes. This bed is six feet wide and from twelve to fifteen feet long, and is covered by one of the sama dimensions, but of three-njghths inch stone. A tire is then kindled on the stone. ovcrtd with at bet, and allowed to burn three or moro days. A pad is after ward formed, as in slacking lime, with six inches of material on tho ground and tar enough poured on to thoronghly coat the separate pieces. This material is allowed to stand for about twelve hours after the tar has been mixed into it and is then mixed again. In forming a roadway a three-inch layer of the foundation stone is first put down ana roiled with ateu-tonsteam roller, after which euough tbree-fotirtbs-iuch cbippings are spread over the top to even up the surface.

BIG TIMES FOR WIIEELMEN

Famous Kiders Expected at tho International Meet Here Xoxt Month. Review of the Work at the State Tournament at Fl Wayne Waller Earning Glory Whesline Nots The entry books for the international race meeting, which is to be held in this city Aus. 24. have been open but a little over a week and the names of nearly every one of tne craok riders of the country appear on them already, which is almost un precedented in the history of tournament management. To have such men as Zim merman send in their names almost the tret days of the opening of the books, accompanied by the cash for the entry fees, is a proceeding so unusual that the man agers of the tournament here aro moro than jubilant about it. The men who have entered so far are as follows: A. A. Zimmerman, Freehold, N.J. ; Charles T. Kingsley. Chicago; A. N. French, Cleveland; C. M. Mnrphy, Brooklyn; A. E. Lumsdeu, Indianapolis; Hoyland mitb. New Bedford, Mass.; George C. Smith. New York city; J. P. Miss, Chicago; J. S. John son, Syracuse, !s. .; . C. Sanger, Milwaukee; Harry Tyler, Hitiblandsville, Mass.; Ueorge Uunkor. Pittsburg, and be sides these promises have been received from suoh men as Win die, Taylor and many other lesser lights that they will be here. If Osmond, the English crack, rides at all this year he will be here. He is in training now at Chicago, and it is reported that he is netting in good shape. He has A. E. Lumsden. said that if be can get in form he will ride in the Chicago meeting, and if there, here. indications ate that there will be but few foreignersin thiecountry to coin pete in these international championship races, but those who do come may be reasonably ex pected at the meeting here. Among these men is L. S. Meintjes, who hails from South Africa, and who has been setting the rac ing public agog in England. Hehas broken many English records, broke one that San ger made over there this year, and is riding like a whirlwind. He will bo at the races here. His entry has not been received, but ho is to make the international cirouit. which includes in it Indianapolis. A glance over the foregoing list of names shows those of the fastest men in the world, men who can ride miles against time in better than 2:05. men who can ride miles in competition in from 2:10 to 2:15, and men. each of whom will be actuated by a Btronv bplrit of rivalry against the others. The history of tournaments has been that the racing men have not sent in their entries until the last uoiceot. That they, have sent them in here a month before hand is evidence enough of the interest that is being taken in the meeting. It is reasonable that there should. Even Chicago, with its wealthy clubs and citizens and the assistance of the world's fair to attract crowds, is not ottering more valuable prizes for the events to be competed for than is Indianapolis. Then again, if all reports be true, the track at that place will not compare favorably with the one in this city. Men who have ridden over it declare that they have never seen its equal and they are men who have ridden on nearly every traoic in the ronntry. Sanguine men predict that Indianapolis will get the world's record this year in competition. The track is equal to it and it now remains for the riders to go alter it. The Zigzag Club has decided that in the mile international raoe for the championship cup it will oiler a diamond setting each to the men first at the quarter, at the half and at the three-quarters. There will be men entered in thatrace who are speedy men for a short distance, but who will have little or nocliance for winning it at the mile. They will go for the quarter prizes, and the pace they will doubtless set will be so fast that it will mean a mile in surprisingly low time. Beside this, there will probably be something hung up for the man who will lowerthe record against time. Speculation is already rife as to the possible winner of that race. It may be said to lie between the following men: Zimmerman. Sanger. Tyler. Johnson, Osmond and Meintjes. Many aro pinning their faith to Harry Tyler this year. A private letter to a cycler in this city savs that at Asbury Park last week, Tyler rode against Zimmerman, and that he made the champion ride as he never rode in bis life before. It is confidently expected that Tyler will beat Zimmerman before the season is over, but it remains to be seen. While tbes men are being talked about, others must not be forgotten. Jlliss. Hanker. Lumsden, Smith, Murphy, and others are riding fast, aud many of them are bidding tor championship honors. A reception and smoker will be tendered the visiting wheelmen at Tomlinson Hall the evening after the races, wben the prizes wiil be given out, and a general good time had. . The State L. A. W. meeting at Fort Wayne, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, was a success in almost every feature. The Fort Warns Cycling Club, which had its management, covered itself with glory, although it was the first one It had attempted, and those who were present will want to go there again. There was only one unfortunate thing counected with it, and that was the protest of tho raeing men acainstthe referee. Thomas Hay, of this city. On the tint day in the one-mile open there started suoh men as Taylor, Hanker, llliss, Lumsden and several equally good riders. They aro men who have and can ride a mile in competition in the neighborhood of 2:15. In the first heat referee Hay placed a time limit of 2.o0, and thv claimed that it could not be made on account of the strong headwind. He thought that they ought to be able to make it in that time, and insisted that they should. Then they kicked. A number of local newspaper correspondents, who had probably never looked at a L. A. W. racing rule, took the side of the men. The referee refused to change his limit, und when tho last heat was gone twelve seconds outside of that time, he declared it no race. Then the riders said what they would leavetown, and would not ride the next day unless the referee csme down. The management, not used to the perennial kick of the raciug man. went to the rule roe aud asked him as a favor to it to recall his decision. He did so upon its earueit solicitation, and then the raciug men declared that they hail wou a great victory over the bugbear limit, and the papers of that city, and those of the correspondents, all made the referee the butt of their ceusure. The case was very much this way: The racing men knew that 'he club managing the races wero new to the business, and they thought they bad a green referee to deal with. Some pretty uood prizes were o tiered, and they wanted them, but they wanted to get them as easily as possible. CoiiNMjurntly they went into the race, loafed until within. a few hundred feet of the tape, and then spurted for plat es. The lirst heat of the niilo opea was made in the ridiculous time of four minutes. Thenext dujr, under tho sanio conditions, with lust

as much wind abroad, these same men rode the rnilo in 2:22 and a fraction. That was conclusive proof that tho referee was right. Mr. Hay said upon hit return to thin city that the .only motive which actuated him was in seeing that the people got good races for their money. He said that people do not care to go. and see men wbo have been heralded abroad as being able to ride in 2:15 and advertised as suoh. and who can do it. iro' in 7 four 'minutes, and that be did not propose thatthese men shoald do it. - r.

It is of a very pretty pattern. M. George Urandlu. Harper's Weekly. The arrival has been announced of a young French newspaper writer, M. George Grandin, who proposes to "tramp'' from New York to Chicago. When we say "tramp," we do not mean merely to walk, but to make the journey not only on foot, but penniless, in the role of an am.iteur beggar. Doubtless M. Grandin. If he carry otit his project aa pied dela lettro. will get chances to note a great deal that he would not otherwise see, but he will have only a dim and inadequate idea of what the life of a real American tramp is. he inisht have come nearer to it had ho preserved his incognito inviolate from the start, for he wouM not have msde the journey, had he made it at all, in full light of the publicity which now his confreres of the press must inevitably shed on his path. lint even then he could Dot have sounded the depths of a tramp's experience, which is determined do t by an intelligent resolution not to work, but bv an inherent invincible aversion to work under any and all circumstances. Moreover, M. Grandin will have a epecifio destination in view, and. what is still moro irreooucilablo with the tramp nature, a detinue object. He may, by the use of a lively imagination, figure to himself something of the spirit of the class in which for a timo he enrolls himself, bnt he could have done that though he paid his way and made provision for his bodily comfort. He iniuht as well have started for Palestine witb only scrip and stall with the intent to ohtaiu tho experience of a medin val pilgrim see Thoreau on the oris in of saunter," in "Sainte Terra" as to think that he, presumably a Parisian du dernier bateau, can realize the life of that inscrutable creature, an American tramp, by tryinc to go deadbead and on foot from New York to Chicago. The Longevity of Women. Kew York Press. There is food for rejection in the fact recently brought to light by a London newspaper that the longovitv of women in that city is greater thau that of men. Out of 1.131 persons dying in London in 1&'.'2 over eighty years of age &5 were men and VH weie women. Of six centenarians who died that year only one was of the male sex. It is elated that there is nothing unusual in this disparity. A. like result would have been shown by a study of the mortuary tables for several -years previous to 18J2, That this difference in longevity is not due to sexual peculiarities is proved by the fact thut the increase in male births ovor that of feniftlo births in England is at a rate of over thirty iu each l.(XX). Women live longer than men as a rule because they lead quieter lives and follow occupations that are marked with fewer fatalities. H is probable, also, that personal ' habits in many cases tend to shorten the Uvea of men.

FAST TIME 18 BEING MADE Race Meetings Continue to Give Promise of a Sensational Year. Great Trotting1 Knc at Cleveland Much Expected of the Indianapolis Fall Meeting Notes of the Tart The big meeting of last week was at Cleveland, where nearly ull of the celebrated harness horses of the country were assembled. They were practically the same ones which were at Detroit the week before, and it was the tame struggle over again, with different results. There is no lessening of speed as the season goes on, it being pot at lower and lower marks until it begins to look as though there was never going to be a stop to it. 13y all odds the greatest trotting race of the season, and it is doubtful If it will be excelled, was sent away at the famous Glen ville course iu the city by the lake Wednesday. Little Albert, Walter E., the two Nightingales. Lord Clinton. Greenleaf, ltyland T., Magnolia, Mnta Wilkes und Alvin were the horses that got away at the word, and after live heats the race Vent to Little Albert. The time was as follows: 2:10, 2:11, 2:10. 2:11. 2:13. Little Albert took the first two heats. V alter K. the next two. and the former tho last. It was a great race and was witnessed by a large crowd of people. The free-for-all pace was got oil Friday, with Hal Pointer, CJuy. Major Wonder, lilue Sign, Chronis and Flying Jib as the starters. Guy got the lirst heat, and iheu Hal Pointer had everything his own way. The time was uood, but not sensational, as follows: 2.08, 2:034. 2:11 Mi. 2.003i. Flying Jib was distanced in the second heat, which was a surprise to all. In the 2:14 olass, pacing, the race went to Hal Dillard. after six heats had been gone. Henry P., the speedy little stallion which got lirst place at the Indianapolis track in the same olass. gave them all a hard race, winning the lirnt heat and keeping them all guessing for the rest of them. By thesensational performanceof the bay stallion Steel Prince, that made a record at Columbus. Ind., of 2:103, some two'weeks ago, in a winning race, his sire. Steel Nail, (4), 2:2 4 M:, becomes prominent as a pacing 81 re. Steel Nail was purchased, as a yearling, by E. E. Neil, of Tennessee, who sold him to K. C. Keynolds, of Pulaska, Tenn.,, who, in turn, sold him to farmer Miles, tho famonsridglingoastrator.of Charleston, 111., his present owner. Farmer Miles placed bitn in the hands of Drake McCrory, of Lewisburir, Tenn., where he has done stud duty to a - limited extent. He was sired bv General Hardee, he by George Wathington. he by Henry Hal. son of kittrell'a Hal. His dam wan by Pat Malone (sire ot the dam of Frank lluford, 2:20), by a Tennessee saddle horse. It will be observed that Steel Nail conies from the same strain of blood that gave us Hal Pointer, 2.04 Vs. and mauy other Hensational pacers. As a four-year-old. Steel Nail exhibits a great deal of speed, and acquired a record ot 2:24V over a half-mile track. Unfortunately he was permanently disabled by an injury to one of his eyes, and was that season retired from the tnrf. Another fact that will prove of interest to breeders is that he is one of a pair of twins. Steel Prince Is his tirsi foal, and is the only one that has yet appeared in public We are informed that all of his get show plenty of speed. Farmer Miles has a greater sire in' Steel Nail than be probably ever expected. Western Horseman. 13renneman Bros., of Decatnr. 111., last week lost the fast pacing oolt Pat Delaney, 2:18U. At the time of bis death he was en route with a carload of pacers and trotters from Anderson, Ind.. to Joliet, 111., where he was to have taken part in the races this week. He was one of the greatest three-year-old pacers of the year. ' Ho had started but three times, bad taken a reoord of 2:1S14, and had been a close second in 2:1514. The tact that he had shown sensational speed entitled him to consideration as one ot the coming champions, for he had shown quarters close to thirty seconds, and his public performances wore the bfst of any of the age tMa season. He was bred at the Elm Gvve stock farm. Dscator, 111., aud was sired by Andorson Wilkes, )t:'ll Pat

PAYMENTS

Delaney was on the track at the July meeting in this city, and showed in good form. Tho Indianapolis bfiving Club bids fair to outdo itself and Indianapolis at the meeting wbicb will be given here in September. Active work of advertising the meeting has begun and the entry books havo been opened. The purses which they ftave o tie red are equal to tnose of the Grand Circuit, and they have also hung up several special ones for time. To the horse that beats 2.05 in a race S500 will be given. It is safe to say that the money will Dot go begging. Turf Motes. The Detroit novelty race proved an interesting one. The question now is, will Martha Wilkes be put to practice before the soason is over, Annie Dickinson's tbree-yeur-old colt Alltfll. by Axtell, can show a 2:15 clip. He is a very likely fellow. The gray gelding Jim Wilkes, that ran away with Dr. D. 1'. Bryan here, was sold in Buffalo last week for $240. He is fast but mean. Tip O' Tip got a low marie last week, but was unfortunate in not getting anything else. We nnderutand he didn't have a fair show. Wo wonld not be surprised if the Indianapolis Driving Club would have to pay the ownarof Mascot that $500 for beating 2:05 at their fall meeting. Western Horseman. Wben Saladin achieved tho champion stallion race record of 2:0514, be drew a f orty-three-pouud sulky, wore twelve ounces of aluminum on his feet and carried a six-pound harness. Gossip, jr., is now sixteen years old. He made his record ten years ago and paced within a quarter of a second of it 2:14 the other day in a race, lie has been one of the greatest horses of this decade. The famous lilly Silicon. 2.15. will not be out this year on the trottinir turf. She has no three-year-old engagements, but as a four-year-old she is entered in a large number of valuable stakes. Western Horseman. In the 2:15 trot at Detroit. Hulda won first money, her best time being 2:12. Muta Wilkes made one heat in 2:11, taking tne track record and second money of the (2,000 purse. Both of these mares are by one of the greatest of sires, Guy Wilkes, 2:15U. Mr. C. Fred Kissel, of Indian apolis whose valnablo gelding. Kissel's Pointer, 2:1CI4, dropped dead at Pittsburg. Pa., on the 12th insL, at the close of the third heat, has received a check for 31.000 from the Farmers' und Breeders' Insurance Company, ot this city. The insurance for this amount was taken in this company on June 17. Thero was great dissatisfaction over the decision of the fifth heat in the free-for-all at Detroit last Thursday, as it was thought by almost everybody that Anderson's Nightingale won, hut it was given to Hamliu's Nightingale, which gave her the race. The former didn't get any of the purse. Western Horseman. Governor Matthews has ordered John Edwards, of Monrovia, to buy him a combined horse, that is one that is able to go all the saddle gaits and able to draw a buggy on the road a good three-minute gait. Mr. Edwards is competent for the occasion, and wo know when he finds one that the Governor of our State will be fully satisfied with the combination.A feature in the trotting meetings this year is the volume and the spirited character of the betting. At Pittsburg the speculation was very heavy and far exceeded tho expectations of the pool sellers, it was remarkably good at Saginaw, and last week at Detroit it is reported as heavier than at any previous meeting. If there should be a ornsade started against senseless names for horses, the ax should fall first on the senseless initial system. For example, a couple of trotters have entered the list this year named J. W. O. and J. B. C, and a pair of pacers have also taken standard rank that bear the names or' J. S. U. and J. S. A. It would be jolly if these four J's, that are all bays, should irot together in a raoe. Inter Ocean. I - A Had Practice.
