We opened last night to one of the biggest bucccbscb we have ever bad, but an accident tbat tuigbt have provL-d tutul boppeued to yours fultbrully. We buve a new cuect In our act done wltu a wire, on tbe end of wbkb la a sond bag. Mr. 'Know- li-all,' stage manager, Insisted on a aecond Iron weight, wclgbiug twenty pounds, to be lied higher up, so tbat when 1 was done with the wire be could tlnd It. On the eve of tbe ciirluln going up 1 was standing with the I'lid of tuo wire in my hnad, having taken ■ he saud bog off, when, without warnlug, luc heavy Iron weight suspended high obove, fell W'th a dull, sIcKealag thud, right on the top of my beau, knucklug mo down. 1 was bleeding profusely from u jagged wound. A doctor was hastily Bummooed irum tbe front, I lost a quantity of blood and was very weak. My apparatus was removed from tbe stage, and no other act was ready to go on. An Intermission was then arranged, after which three acts appeared. With my bedJ bauduged, and with a bat to hide my wound.i, 1 went through uiy act. Now tbe weight that fell has uuthing to do with my up- faratUB. I objected to It being put there, as did not wBUt u heavy weight suspended over tbe 'motoglrl's' heud or mine. I there (ore lay the blame ou tbe theatre entirely. I am wenk today, but will carry out the eugugc- ment." Tbe doctor Infutuied Mr. Meivilie tbat bod the weight struck him with the edge Instead of tbe Hat bottom, life would possibly have been extinct before be arrived. Conn and t^ourad sailed yesterday fur America, Although they bavcu't ony time booked la tbe titutvs, tbcy expect to go to work loimedlatoly. Their act la one tbitt will It la anywhere. Tbey bavo rcttiio dates In thin country. Miirsliall, the Mystic, writes from Copen- bagca that bo opened at the Bcala on the llrst, ami met with tbe greatest of success, taking (our to six curlula calls to every Bhow. I'ottc',- and Ilarlwcll, who ore also on the bill nt the 8cnla, write: "Wo arrived In Copcnbngcu ou Aug. 'M, after a lino sail of ten days from New York, allowing Uve days to look about tbe city. Wo opened last sight our Urst Uurapean dale, and wo are more than pleased to write that our uct was a big suc- ccsj. If wo do half as well In utber cities ui wo did last night wo will have uo ground fur couiplalut Wu bavu two other Amurlcuu acts on the Mil with ua, Marshall, the Mystic, aud the Three riuruucu Ulsters.

I have left two weeks open after I'nrls, so ns to jump Into London oud bavo a look uiouud." I'bllllps and Merritt are In town. They arrived witblu a few days. They coutcmplute working lu this country. The Three b'ortuucs ore now In Mannheim, Qormany, and are repeating the success there made lu other coutlucntal show towns. Tbe latter part of current month tbey go to the Casino, Uotterdnm, and then to the Albam- bra. In London, oucnlng Oct. 2. Here Is a bit of news that will bo Interest- ing to renders of this letter. Mrs. Muud Unrrusford, wile of Thomas Borrasfurd, will bnvo entire cbnrgo ot Henry Irvlng's old plnyhouae, the Lyceum, when It la reopened. Alread} sbo has coiumcuced to whip tblugs Into shape. She Is the flrst womnn to tiiko iinun her shoulders the cutire luuiingoineut tit a Londoa music ball, Of course Mra llur- rosford Is nu grccnlioru at this work, fur the success of the Ilrlgbtoa Hippodrome, which sbo bos mniiiiged fur tbe lust three years, Is a good example of bcr gouius fur method and detail. I will quote Sirs. Unrrasford re- garding her Ideas about making the Lyceum a paying Institution and also the fashionable resort of tbo feminine world: "When I go Into Diy box nt the Hippodrome, at Ilrlgbt- on," she said, "tlio first thing I do Is to count tbo ladles there. Ten blouses to each gentleman. That's what I see there, and that's what I hope to see at tbo Lyceum. Why, the Duke oad Duchess of Kite have regularly visited the Ill|ipodromo sluco It linB been under my uinaugcment, and their little daUKliters have come with their gov- erness, liut it was the Urst music hall the Duchess of Kite ever entered. I am going to make the Lyceum the kind of place a girl can go to with a chaperon. 1 am convinced that success lies in that direction. Tbere are thousands upon thousands ot nice girls who perhaps haven't brothers or sweethearts to look after them. Well, I want them to feel that tbey can come to the Lyceum com- fortably." Although Mrs. Ilarrasford has al- ready demoDBtratcd the fact tbat a woman may succeed in this business, she will hove nu indy ottcndnnts nt the Lyceum, while anuthcr Innovation Mrs. Itnrrasford will in- troduce Is an aubulnuco Btation. Uvcrylblng considered, Mrs. B. is a jack of all trades, and the outcome of her new venture will be watched with interest on this side ot tbe ocean and possibly on tbe other side. More news of Gardiner and Vincent, wbo are now In Glasgow again.. They have ar- ranged some time with Htoll, and could have played tbe Coliseum next week, but previous bookings prevented. Tbey were offered the Lyceum fur tbe month ot August, 1900, but refused. Continental time has been offered, and Mr. Qardiner end bis wife think seri- ously of learning the act In German and Ii'rencb. Tbey will return to tbe States in November and come back to this country next Summer. They could remain here uutll next season, but are frightened ot tbe Winter and tbe London fogs, hence tbelr return. ilosalre and Doreto, and Jack Burke, ot Burke and McAvoy, and Mrs. Durke, sail for America today ou the Philadelphia. Mr. Ilurke discovered while be was here that there is a team calling themselves Uurke and McAvoy, and claiming to be Americans, play- ing England, and at present are In South Atrlca. They are lingllsbmen, but try co pass as Americans. VVnlle tbe two acts are not tbo same there la a conlllctloa that Is bothersome to Jack Burke, as many have been under tbe Impression that he has been work- ing In this country for some time. It la very amusing to hear tbe dialect of many who try to pose as Americans. Jordan and Ilorvey are back from South Atrlca, where they were a big bit. Tbe trip was a pleasant one, so tbey tell me, but In order to make up for tbe time lost In going and coming one has to almost double bis salary. Jordan and Barvey opened at Brighton on Monday, and are next week bot- toming the bill at the Empire and Hippo- drome, Bristol. A long engagement at tbe London I'avlllon wlil soon follow. I'red W. Wyndbam has engoged, among others, tbo following performers tor bis next pnntomlmcs: Ilorry Lauder, Malcolm Bcott, Dan Crowley, Brown and Laclcrq, Imro Koi, Grell antl Grey, Ernest Bees, Am- brose Maniug, Drew and Alders, George Foimby, Krnlo Mayne, Ilraaaby Williams, George Ilnatow, tbo Egbert Brothers, llarry Lupliio, Nipper Lnno, Mark Hherldan, George Lnshwuod, Josh Ulxon, Winifred Hare, Besslo Keathcrstone, Alice Itusson, Daisy Dormer, LIna Verdi. Lily Harold, Birdie Sutherland, Margaret Ituble, Itutb Lytton, and Inst, but not leitst, Tom U. Murray. Mr. Wyndbam appears to hove carroUed about all tbe best lu tbe business. Itnckctt and Ilozard Inform mo tbat they met with most gratifying success on their opening at the Itenibrandt Theatre, In Am- sterdam, on the Urst of the present month, Klein, Ott Urotbers and Nicholson have been going very big at the Circus Carre, In tbe same place, also tbe Vrlttons, wbo ore booked for tbo opeulug of tbe Empire, Lon- don. Mr. Kackett wrUes mo that the Ilem- brandt caters to high class audiences, and only runs vaudeville one month, the rest of the season being devoted to opera and drama. The bouse Is new and is modeled after the rrincesB, In this city. At the Board of Trade offices, Lincoln's Inn, mccllDgs of creditors and shareholders were held under the failure ot the Cambridge Variety Theatre, Limited, which was regis- tered fn July, 1003. The chairman said the failure was ascribed to general depression of trade, change In the class of population in tbo neighborhood of the hall, and competition by now and larger halls In the district The receiver for tho debenture holders bad sold the property tor a BUm buOldent to satisfy the debenture holders, tbe purchaser taking over a mortgage for |(75,UOO, but tbere was little prospect of any return being made to unsecured creditors or to the shareholders, with regard to whom the loss was estimated at about $170,800. The llquldntlon was left In the hands of tbe oQiciai receiver. News from George Marline, of the Mar- tines, under date of Aug. 11, from Monte- video, South America; "We arrived here four days ago from Uueaos Ayrca, after ploy- ing tbere six weeks, having been prolonged two weeks over our time, and our engagement was a very pleasant one. We opened here on Aug, 8, at tbo Casino, which is under the same management. Tho house here is rather on the slab order, but wo get along pretty well under tbe circumstances. Mr. Sequin, tbe proprietor, is building a new bouse hero that will be as Hno as anything In this sec- tion ot tbo country. It la still bitterly cold, and tbo white clothes and ponama that we were advised to hove for this country are still burled in the bottom of tho trunk, and from all Indications will stoy ;ucre for some time to come. Kobblas, the trick 'cyclist, opened In Buenos Ayres a few days before we left, aud astonished the natives with his clover work. There ore uo other Americana on tho bill at present, only a couple of ring- ers, but they don't create much of a disturb- ance. The money hero Is the same as ours at home—dollars oiid ccnls. It la quite a relief to ho nble to price articles without having lo do a lot of Qguring to know what the value really Is. The money in tbe Argentine Is also lu doiiors, but ft is only worth forty centB Id our money. Mr. Scguln's contracts call for gold, so there Is no loss to the per- former. Wo have three more towns to make on this circuit, Hlo, San I'auio and Bohlo, and expect to bo here until the middle of October, and then go to Lisbon and I'ortugal for December. Then bock to Englond, and we win be gind to get back to n real ploce Jignln. There ore two legitimate theatres here, one nt present plnylng opera In Italian, and tbe other comedies In Spanish, also another music hall presenting a tew speclol. ties and a farce. Wo get Tub Clipper pretty regulorlv. Tbo last one is still wondering around looking for us, but will catch up, I hope." Itobcrts, Hayes and Koberts are flaiihitig their pieacnt Kngllsh tour in what might be Justly coiled a binxo of glory. After a successful six days at the Circus Variety, Bury, tbey open on Monday next at the Iloyal, Oldhnm, They return to Amerloo hept. 2I>. They come back to England next Moy, to open In Bradford June *, this the llrst week of a forty weeks' tour on the Moss and Btoll circuit, and some Independent limiscs. Their new act, "A Tarty from the West." they Intend to produce ou tbelr opoa- Ing In Americn. The Three Meers hove a few weeks more lo work before tbey start for America. They are topping the bill at tbe Tivoii, Dublin, this week, and ore billed as "Tbe World Re- nowned Three Meers." Next week, Tlvoll, LlrmlDgbam, with the Tlvoll, Leeds, and Hippodrome, Brighton, to follow. Oct. 4 tbey sail for the States, opening, a fortnight later at one of tbo Keith nouses. ♦ »» VfUY NOT JVaOLD FOR HBALTUT Illnts to Amateur 3xigg\*n, BX PAUL CINqOBTALIil. [The following article by Clnquevalll is in- teresting not only because ot the prominence ot tbe author, but also because of bis being an authority on tbe matter ot which he treats. No one Is better able to tell wby Juggling Is fascinating to tbe performer, nor why, as an exercise, It takes nigh rank as a means for the promotion of health and the development ot the muscles.] This la an age of physical culture. For those who are forced to lead sedentary lives no end of physical exercises—good, bad and Indifferent—have been designed and ore In use, and the magazines are full of articles showing you how to become a Sandow with the ata of a towel or a poker or what not. And yet Juggling, to my mind Incomparably the finest form of Indoor exercise. Is almost totally neglected as an aid to physical de- velopment. I am going to try to convince readers of this paper who, by reason ot age, occupotion, or from any other cause, cannot take regu- lar outdoor exercise, tbat the easiest and gUatanUit way to keep themselves "fit" Is y learning to juggle. Let us consider the ordinary physical exercises or drills, with or without weights, compared with juggling feats. In the first place pbysical exercises ore very apt to become monotonous ond weari- some, and only people of the greatest de- termination will persevere with them. The exercises ore uninteresting In themselves, for tbere Is no deflnlte object to be accomplished, and before long you reoch a point beyond which you cannot go, and you have to keep on doing the same thing over and over again. But In juggling there Is always something fresh to be done. It you lived to be as old as Methuselah you would never exhoust the possibilities ot a ball and a stick. And tbere Is a definite something to be achieved, s tangible result to be shown. la tbe second place, unless you hove some- one to wotch you, you are apt to perform tbe oierciscs in a slovenly or Incorrect fashion, thereby doing yourself more hnrm than good. The overage man dlBllkes trouble; and even with the best intentions it is easy to foil Into an Incorrect woy of doing things without i>elng aworo thot you are wrong. Tor exom- pie, take the exercise ot swinging one leg backwards and forwards. Properly done, your bead should be erect and your chest ex- panded ; but It Is Just as easy, and. Indeed, easier, to do It with your bead banging down and your chest controcted. The exercise can bo performed In a dozen different perfunctory ways, ond tbere Is nothing in It which forces you to adopt tho correct way of doing It. Moreover, ft you keep on too long your movements become slow and IlfoleflB, often without your noticing It. 'I'he simplest feat of juggling, however, can only be done la one way—the proper woy. 1 allure tells you at once that you have done something wrong, and to succeed you must consciously or unconsciously adopt the proper method. And, if you become slow, tho bal', or whatever you have In tho air, la not going to wait tor you, ond you very aoon know It. In tbe third place, each physical exercise develops only a certain part, or certain ports, of the body, and you hove to go through n whole series before vou obtain the deairea re suit of equally developing your frame. l''Ive minutes' juggling, on the other haaJ, will call Into play every muscle, or at least, every Importont muscle, you have. Take, for Instance, the elmplo tent of keeping two or three balls In tho olr. Tbe muscles of your neck and shoulders are exercised because your head must be thrown up and kept moving from side to side; ond tbe foot ot your bead being thrown up expends your chest Your arms ore exercised as your bands move hero and there to catch tbo balls, and tho Important muscles of tbe bock and sto- moch ore developed by tho swoying move- ments of your trunk, while tbe legs ore strengthened by the conatont shifting of the feet. In the fourth place physical exercises train neither the eye nor the band. It Is so obvi- ous that Juggling docs both that I need make uo further comment on this point The reason children and, for the matter of that odults, rarely persevere with Juggling Is that thev make the mistake of bcgrnolng with dlfllcult feats. A boy sees a professlonol Juggler on the stage, goes home, and tries to do In nn hour or two a feat thot requires years of practice to accomplish. Naturally, be gets disheartened, and gives up Juggling OB 0 bad Job. Begin, then, with the blmiilest feats, such as balancing a walk- ing stick on your forehead, or tossing a ball from behind your back over your shoulder and cntching It as it tolls. I do not recom- mend you, however, to practise the latter trick in a room full of Dresden china. The elementary feots you can learn from a teacher or from books, but If you are really fond of Juggling, you will Invent your own problems. rractlcally there Is nothing In everyday use to which the two great principles of Juggling—viz., balancing and catching—can- not be applied. As a small boy, I remember. I invented three tricks. ' The Qrst was throwing a slate up and writing the letter "A" on It while It wos In the air; the second was tossing up my sand- wich box In such a manner that the lid come off, the sandwich popped out, and when the three were back In my hand tbe sandwich was on top of the box and tbe lid was In its proper place: and the third was throwing a Eon nib Into the air and catching It In a pen- older.

Up to tho point where great physical strength is required the larger the object the easier It la to balance. It Is easier, for ex- ample, to balance a walking stick on your forehead thon a pencil. If you don't believe this, stood a walking stick and a pencil up- right 00 the floor, let go of them simultane- ously, and see which will reach the ground flrst. Always look nt the top of whatever you ore bnionclng. Beginners make the mistake of looking at the bottom or at the middle of the stick or whatever they are bnionclng. 'I'he same applies to catching things. Don't watch your Qiunds; keep your eye on tbe object. Just us you would la catching a cricket boll. Wear loose, warm clothing. As regards practice, begin with periods ot nt least an hour; but the moment a feat be- gins to tire you drop it for the time being In favor of another one. Never, however give up for good Quytbing you bavo started to ac- complish. In all balonclng feots remember that the shnpe ot the article Is immaterial. Wbot you inve to do Is to get nn Imaginary line pnsa- ing vertically through tho centre ot the obleft balanced, or, shortry. Its axis perpendicular to whatever it Is balanced upon. In conclusion, I would repeat my convic- tion that Juggling Is tUo finest and healthiest ot Indoor exercises.
