Last night the pieoe hod the advantage of repetition at the Columbia.

The advantage was to the pieoe, not to the audience. As theatergoers know, it relates how a young artist doe away with a petulant invalid and marries hit wife; how the memory of the dead man oomes between the couple, even on the bridal night, turning their prospective joy to dread, despair and mutual hate how. at the end. they eat of the dead sea fruit, a veritable poison, and dio together, while the old mother of the murdered man. paralyzed and.

until that moment, speechless from the time of learning their secret, triumphs over them. This is the best that Emile Zola can find to write about. Ia there no joy, no honest living anddov ins, no heroism, no self sacrifice, no sane or beautiful thing in this world, that one must go to the morgues of morality and scour the sewers for topios to discuss before honest and well doing people? Truly, Prance is in a parlous state if this is typical of her future art. and if the world accepted such, it too, were in need of medicine and tears. It has been indignantly claimed by the advance agent that tho piece 4s not immoral, that it is instructive.

True, the gathering of garbage is not immoral; indeed, it serves a useful purpose; but there are other things that it is as pleasant and profitable to consider in society. Zola makes a strong case for his people ho makes so strong a one that the audienoe is half committed to the idea that it is excusable, in order to promote the happiness of two people, who ar pretty decent at the outset, to kill the husband, who is one of the most noxious and ridiculous persons ever put behind the footlights a puling, hysterical, ungrown, sexless, ean spirited creature. In the stone age such a husband would have been carelessly knocked on the head by tho first man that wanted his wife, supposing that such a one could oaptured a wife, and the society of those days would hava taken the event as a matter of course. Why did Zola depart so widely from the literary manner of his countrymen by making it necessary to kill him at all? In France that is not, apparently, essential. But perhaps, sfter all, his purposo in roiling up the uck was not to regale himself with its feculence, but to explain his notion of remorse.

That idoes pervade the thing; it is felt as a vague and 'terrible presence looming through the shadows that the aotors move among. It is as real and awful as "ITftoboth." The recital by the murderer jof the way his victim looked in tha dead house, gives one the shivers, and the tragedy closes in so dark and strong that one is delighted to set into the air and look no at the passionless stars. It is powerful and dramatic, a remarkable thing for a writer of books to have done, but it is morbid, sickly, unnatural. After awhile it will be learned that Americana do not oare for such things. Realism is preached as the exepse for them; its precepts have been' ding donged into the publio ear since "1 Assomoir," "'Nana," "Sappho" and "Mr.

Incoul's Misadventure" surprised and disgusted the world; but while a handful of facile mannerists have taken it np as a fad or a source of profit, it has made no progress in the regard of healthy people, that is, along the line that Zola and such people have marked out lor it. Their realism is a thing of the night; it finds nothing worthy of painting outside of brothels and charnel houses; it does not see the realism that' is lighted by the blessed sun and that speaks and moves the right speech and action of good people who are the most of people. Yet, what an absurd idea it is to claim realism for "Therese Baquin It is purely a feat of the imaginationas much so as the "Arabian Nights" and the novels of G. P. B.

James and Mrs. Brad don. It is uot realism; it is pessimism, that foul and foolish offspring of modern dyspepsia and the bad air of flats. This pretense, that all is going to the bad, has not even the merit and excuse of conviction. In spite of dyspepsia and the tenements, nobody can consider the history of the world, for tho last half of this century alone, and believe such a thing.

If life is not worth living it argues hypocrisy on the part of tho Zolai and Saltuses and Schopenhaueri not to leave it; but the fact is. no man is heartily a pessimist until he jumps off from the dock. "Therese depressing, whether ono believes in it or not. One feels better when he has put it out of his mind with music or a Welsh rarebit. The actors do what they may to hold the audience.

Mrs. Potter, in tho title part, is pleasing, graceful, daintily gowned and except in the intenser scenes, fairly compotcnt. Sho thinks more of her hair than of her part, and in one act keeps it over her risht eye, with the result of giving her a dowdy and "gallus" appearance, and, again, sho doos not speak as plainly as she should. Kyrlo Bellew, on the contrary, is improving. He is not so mnch concerned for his hair and his clothes as ho used to be, and in the scene of the double suicide ho wrought himself to the point of the desired freny.

The lesser parts, too, were really well played, Mr. Clarges as the cackling old friend of tho family, Mr. Word as tho ex official, Mr. Courtley as the stingy, fidgety invalid, tho husband in name. Miss Erie as tho vengoful mother and Miss Hudspeth as an ingenue, showing aptitude, tact and spirit.

YV. Stephenson. After Whom the Post is Named An Able Address by General Horatio C. Kin jr. The pnblio installation of tho officers of W.

W. Stephenson Post Jo. C69, O. A. took place in Armory hall, 165 Clermont avenue, Inst night.

The occasion drew together a notable gnthering of Grand Army officials, among whom a uniformed detachment of tho veteran association of tho Second Duryen Zuaves, under command of Captain Johnson, was a conspicuous feature. The addross of tho evening on tho life and services of Colonel Stephenson was ably delivered by General Horatio C. King, an old comrade of tho deceased voteran, and not the loast impressive feature of tho ocoasion was tho presence of tho widow of Colonel StephonBon and his brother, George G. Stephenson, of 193 Jefferson avenue. Preceding the lmprosslvo installation ritual of the Grand Army, Commander Eloct C.

Hull Grant addressed the larfro assemblage, in a few words explaining the reasons for the organization of the post Then, aftor an overture by Larry's orcnestra, the Gilbert quartet, comprising Messrs. Bioknell. Gelmaoher, Watts and Scott, rendered "Annie Laurie'' with such effect that they were generously applauded and responded with two humorous selections that were equally well received. Commander Eloct Grant then Introduced General Horatio C. King, who was received with warm applause.

He said in brief: Ono must indeed be lacking in speeoh who cannot find inspiration on an occasion like this, and it gives me both satisfaction and pleasure to bo hero to night to testify my high regard and admiration for tho brave soldiers who6o name and memory you perpetuate in this new post of the Grand Army of tho liepublic. And what could be moro fitting than a brief recital of the record of this modest and gallant veteran as embodied in the brief history contributed by me to the New York commandery of the Loyal legion of which ho wus, at the time of his decease, an honored member. Colonel "VWlllam W. Stephenson was born in New York city on November 5, 1831. At the outbreak of the war, responding promptly to the call of his country, he entered the servic; of the United States on Mny 25, 1862, as a private in Comyany of the Seventh rogiment, N.

G. S. N. and participated in its throe months' campaign and remained with the regiment until honorably discharged on Septombor 6, 1862. With an earnest desire to servo his native land in a wider field, he was appointed captain of Company Ono Hundred and Sixty fifth New York Infantry volunteers, on Septembor 22, 1862.

The rogiment was assigned to the Nineteenth corps, and for two years he was with it in its campaigns in Louisiana and subsequently with that portion of the corps which was transferred to the Shenandoah valley, where he also took part in 1 ho arduous and brilliant campaign under Goneral Sheridan in tho fall of 1861. He was then transferred to tho command of General Gillmore in the department of the South. For a portion of the time ho was on detached service as commandant of the Post Depot Recruiting service in New Orleans, and also served as judge advocate and acting aid de camp, and post treasurer at Charleston, S. C. On the 2Cth of July, 1865, he was appointed major, but was not mustered, and was mustered out with his regiment on the 1st of September, 1865.

Singularly modest and unassuming in his character he on more than one occasion refused the promotion which was tendered him, preferring rather to remain with his company. The regiment with which he was connected, which was known as the Second Duryea's Zouaves, earned a most brilliant and enviable record, and to this no one contributed with greater zeal, Drovery and efficiency than Major 8tophenson. A lawyer by professon, upon the disbandment of his regiment he resumed the practice of law in the city of New York. Entering with characteristic ardor into public affairs, he was warmly esteemed in tho ranks of his party, whose contldenoe ho socurod in an unusual degree, and was twice elected member of the assembly of the state of New York. SayB Companion Ferguson, who was an intimate acquaintance for more than twenty Bsvon years: "ELe was true, straiehtforward and loyal, both to his country and to his friends, of strong domestic habits, deeply attached to his family and his home, he accepted ratbor than sought preferment, finding his chief pleasure) in tho limits of the home circle.

He was a kindly, genial host, a loving parent and a devoted husband. As a commander he was always careful of his man in the camp, a good disciplinarian, ready to lead his men, studious for their comfort and watchml in all things pertaining to their well doing. At the time of his death, and for some years provious thereto, he was the colonel commanding tho Veteran association of the One Hundred and Sixty fifth New York volunteers, and their devotion and affection for him were manifested by their presence in the old zouave uniform on the march to Greenwood, where the "thrice repeated roll of the muffled drum and the discharge of the volloys over his grave were answered by the sad tones of the bugle, which sounded the last farewell." General King then further eulogized Colonel Stephenson, and entertained the post with reminiscences, both grave and humorous, eliciting hearty applause and laughter. Then, attar a well known song, rendered by John Vf. Armour, William B.

Green, one of Brooklyn's best known entertainers, was introduced. He told some of his most effective stories, and for a quarter of an hour kept the audience laughing and applauding. Others who assisted in the programme of the evening were Frederick Kimmic, Howard Starrett, William Dady and Honry Elder, and at 10 o'clock Commander Elect Grant surrendered the gavel to Joseph S. C'ovendy, tlie mustering officer, who announced that" Past Commander Walter Scott of Perry post would conduct tbe installation ceremonies. To the music of a patriotic march he with his staff took their positions.

Tho staff was mode up as follows: William V. lieavan, senior vice commander; Alfred T. Wilson, junior vice commander; A. S. Spaulding, surgeon; James McKenna, chaplain; John 8.

Lovealre, quartermaster; Alexander Merritt, adjutant: John G. Noonan, officer of the guard; John McMahon. quartermaster sergeant; Henry C. Druper, sergeant major; George H. Jackson, officer of the day.

One after another the officers elect of the new post wero called to the headquarters whore thu obligation was administered, the most impressive feature of the ceremony being reached whem the veteran one armed commander elect was summoned. When Comrade Grant was ordered to raise his right hand and when iustoad of that good right hand whioh with its arm he had left on a Southern, battle field, he raised his left hand, a spontaneous chuer broke forth from the thronged assemblage. Then in a most impressive manner ha pronounced his obligation and took his post amid renewed cheering. The other officers installed were: James Coleman, senior vice commander; Nicholas Cornell, vice commander; John Gumming, quartermaster; Edward Oertle, surgeon; Mulford S. Stokum, chaplain; Edward A.

Morehouse, offl cer of the day; Kobert Harper, officer of the guard; James A. Rooney, adjutant; Milton A. Brown, sergeant major; Jacob Van Wicklen, quartermaster sergoant. The other officers of the post are: National color bearer, Peter Hehl; post color bearer. Patrick Fitzpatrif drum major, W.

V. Jordan; delegate to the department encampment, James Coleman; delegate to the memorial and executive committee, James Brush; connoil of administration, Jamfes Brush, Peter Hehl, Winlleld S. Booz, William Barbor and Jacob Van Wicklen. Brief addresses were made hy Past Commander Walter Scott of Terry post and Commander Abner G. Mills of Lafayette post.

Now York. Then Drum Major W. W. Jordan, who has seen tlilrty threo years' service as a musician in tho regular army, gave un exhibition of tho various army calls on the cornet, and ihen Commander Grant and the officers and Stephenson post escorted thoir guests to tho dining room, where a bountiful collation was served.

Lonar Island City Officials ReTuse a Permit for Puritan nail and So the Ifntlles Arc Decided at tlin Star A. C. Gymnasium Diamond Rlnes and Gold Watches tho Rewards of Valor and Fierce Punching. Owing to the many rumors that tho tournaments of the Emplro City Athletic club of Now York were only a ruso to pull off big fights ia tho Puritan Athletic club hall in Long Island City. Mayor Horatio 8.

SanTord and tho board of polico commissioners rofusod a permit for tho final fights of the tournament lost night. Be cauio of this Charles J. Hurvey, tho club's master of ceremonies, was obliged to secure tho tho Star A. gymnasium, corner of Vernon avenuo and Ninth streot, whore tho battles wore contestod under difficulties. The ring was not largo enough and the accommodations for the spectators inadequate.

Five hundred people crowded into tho gymnasium and nearly as many moro wore turned away on account of the Jack of space. Mr. Harvey denied that tho Emplro City A. C. was a fake organization, ond assured an Eaole reporter that the club was a regularly quallflod member of the A.

A. U. He attributed tho refusal of the license to local political reasons. Last night's officials wore Charles Sable of tho Columbia A. New York, as referee; Eugeno Cumisky, Now Y'ork A.

C. and Robert Conn, Columbia A. judges; Dr. Arthur O'Shen, Manhattan A. and to.

D. Michaels, Ravens wood B. timers. George Sibre, Wllliamsburgh A. and George Bnssel.

Pastime A. wont in as the first Dair in tho 130 pound class, four mon bolng left to contest for supremacy in this olnss. Bus sol towered a head over sibre, and tho Oout, from start to finish, was of tho heavy slugging order, Sibro taking a tremondous amount of punishment and making a clover light. The judges disagreed, and tho rofefea uwarded Boasel the bout. J.

Hnrtnett, Cable A. C. and Frank Swlnk, Star A. followed as tho last pair in this class, the winner to contest the victor of tho nrovious bout in tho final fight. The men fought three hard rounds, Hartnett making several desperate efforts to put in a swinging right hand blow.

The judges disagreed and tho rofereo awarded the bout to Hartnett. Tho 120 pound class followed with John Mumford, Westside A. and James McVeigh, National A. C. as the first pair, four mon also being loft in this class.

Mumford had his adversary handicappod in reach. He landed his loft repeatedly on his antagonist's nasal organ and was given the decision. In this class Dan McDonald, Crosstown A. and Henry Apfol, St. George A.

contested as the second pair. McDonald fought wild and lioppod all over tho rin during tho three rounds. Tho judges gavo Apfel the decision. Thomas Carr, Madison A. C.

and Marty Mc Cuo of New York city followed in the final bout of the 110 pound class. McCuo unmercifully pounded his adversary on the faco and had the best of the fighting all the way through. Cue was awarded the fight and declared the winner in this class. John Dickinson, Wllliamsburgh A. and Henry Dodd, Empire City A.

next contested for supremacy in the final bout of the HO pound class. This was tho most exciting fight of the night. Tho colored lad from Wllliamsburgh started in at a cyclonic rate to wipe hts opponent out, but found Dodd lively company. The men fought all over the ring, and between fouls, knockdowns wore scored on either side. Tho last round of four minutes' duration was very exciting.

Tlie judges gave Dodd the decision and awarded him the prize as the winner of the 140 pound class. Next followed tho final bout in the 158 pound class, in which Pat Murphy, Star A. aud George Stickles, Wallabout A. 0., contested. This was a desperate encounter of tho heavy Blugging order also.

In tho second round Murphy caused the blood to stroam from Stickles' face. The punishment Murphy administero 1 his antagonist in the beginning of the third round was sovore. The referee stopped the fight nnd gavo Murphy tho decision, entitling him to first prlzo in his class. Jack Hartnett and Georgo junssel, the first winners of the night, next contested the final bont for supremacy in tho 130 pound class. Both men were groggy nt tho ond of tho third round.

Tho Pastimo man had tho best of the first round, doing effective work with his right, but the Cable man at tbo end appeared the Btronger and managed through some clever leading to get tho decision. Tho iudgos accordingly awarded Hartnett first prlzo in the 130 pound elass. Tho final bout for first prize in the 120 pound class was fought between John Mumford, Wesl sido A. C. and Henry Apfel.

St. Georgo A. C. The contestants both showed themselves clever little men, Apfel Bcored a knockdown in the first and second rounds and was awarded tho light. This concluded tho contests for first prizes and Dan McDonald, Crosstown A.

C. and John Mumford, Westsido A. C. entered the ring again to light for second prize. At the ond of the third round both men wero grogcy and the judges wero unablo to agree.

Tho roferoj ordered another round of two minutes duration. Again the judges woro unable to agree and the refereo declared the fight a draw. In tho 130 pound class Frank Swlnk forfeited second prize to George Bassel, Pastime A. C. Tom Carr forfeited second prize to Frank Skimmer, Empire City A.

C. Carr whipped threo men in the tournament, but in his light for first prize with MeCue last night he received such a severe pummelling from his opponent that ho was not in a fit condition to contest for further honors. This concluded tho first annual boxing tournament of tho Empire City. The first prizo winners roceived diamond rings and the second gold watches. HOTEL AKBITALS.

Mr. Clarke, appeared for tlie prosecution, with Edward F. o'Hwyer and Jerry A. Wern berg for tho defendant. Alderman Arthur J.

Heanry spent but a short time on the witness chair, lie recited his connection with the building of tbe ntnnds as member of the special celebration ommiltoe. He toll 1, Alderman McKee lold, how Pigott had supervised tbe work done by Patrick Ross. Tho figure of rll. loo the willies thought a fair nnd jiist one for tho city's stnmls. Mr.

O'Dwyer, In concluding the direct examination of the witness, asked: "Now, Alderman Heaney. did you in any way derive one cent of benefit Irom this work'" "No!" Tlie answer was given witl: vigor. Mr. Clarke was on his feet almost before tha word left tho witness' mouth, "We do not say or bint that Ahlermau Ib'aiiey has received ono cent of benefit from this work," he said. "My chief wishes mo to say this lor him as well.

Wo do not charge auyLliing of kind." "You believed this was a just billy" asked Mr. O'Dwyer. "I ccrtaiuly did or I never should havo authorized its payment. Mr. had begun this cro examination by asking what experience th" witness had had In tbe matter of such reviewing stands, when Alderman Ile.

inoy interrupted him. nnd addressing the ourt said: "There live iudi lments against me, found by the grand jury, your honor. In view of that Met I compelled to answer the questions of tho district attorney?" "I should advise you answer," replied the court. "We think you had better answer," said Mr. Wernberg and o'Dwyer together.

Accordingly the witness went on to say that he had had some experience in relation to the stand nut up in New iork. Alderman llcanoy was followed by Alderman Moses J. Wafer, also a member of the special committee. He said he had had experience in the building of tho stand on Fourteenth street. New York, some timo ago and thought the price oT was a just and fair value for tho Columbian celebration stands on tho plaza, lie denied that ho had over received one cent of benefit from tho contract or work.

Then he was turned ivcr to Mr. Clarke forjeross examination. The witness said that Ross got tlie contract for tho work just as any oilier contract' would have done. He was lookingabout forti contract. "Can you refer mo to any other man in Brooklyn to whom this work was ottered und a word said about it?" "I was introduced to a man In the corridor who asked about tho work, but wo wore so busy that everything hail to bo done in a few days." Tho witness admitted that no other contractor had put In a I iid for tho work.

Ho nnd known Ross for some time and knew him to bo aeon tractor. It was nut a matter of charity in giving the contract to lioss. No such sentiment was expressed at any of the meetings of the committee. Tbo witness said had a preference for Ross. He had ben an emp'oyo of the city and tho witness was in favor ol giving him the oontruct.

Alderman Wafer said Ross had figured on the work in tho presence of the committee, the amount being upward of Jl The figuring was done ou feet. The witness said Pigott was present at somo or the meetings. The figure given by Ross was not accepted at once. The next day Alderman lleaney went to New Y'ork to investigate the cost of other stands. Mr.

Wernberg recalled Alderman MoKoe. Ho said he had not derived one cent of en'fltJfrom tho eoutra 't lor the stands, and believed tho figure asko was a fair and reasonable ono. Alderman Edward P. Tiiomos. another member of the cel.

'I, ration committee, said that whilo his committee was in session the witness askod Alderman Houney about the stands. Tho latter said the stands would cost nearly ill, (11)0, aud that lie had been to New York to iook into the matter. "I asked him whether he was satisfied with timt figure for the work. He told me that he as, and I said that his word was good enough ior mo." Tho witness said that lie had voted for the payment of the bills thinking they were just, as Aldonnai. lloaney had said lliey were.

Alderman Thomas said that he had remarked lo Aiilermiui Hvinev. before the matter was settled, that especial care should Pe taken to have the stands built substantially, ns should an accident oc ur the city would be held liable for any damage. In such au event the stands Would cost much moro than if put up properly at the outset. Alderman Richard Pickering testified that his work in connection with the 'ohm. bum celebration was hurried and hP'orcus.

Ho had visited thu plaza, on two occasions with other members of he committee, committee at one meeting reported that they thought it necessary to cover the entire space on the pbia, except that taken by tho supervisors. Tho cost of such stands was given at 11,000. At a subsequent meeting the witness said ho was told that a contract for the stands had been made with mai, known as p. Itoss. Alderman Pickering said ho did not know who P.

Ross was, but was informed that he was a responsible man. The witnss said be did not note when th" hill was technically approved, although he did approve the amount later. Ha bad not derived one cent of benefit irom tho contract and considered the amount a reasonable and just one, from ull the information given before the committee. In cross examination the witness told Mr, Ridgway that he had never a contract made with Ross or beard any oral agreement entered into with him in regard to the work. Ho had not ase rtained whether Ross had given anv bond for tho proper fulfillment of his contract.

If' nry L. Spicer of York, an architect, said ho Had been by tho prosecution but while in court ha I heeu subpenaed by the defense Mr. Wernberg put a hypothetical question to what would Oe a fair and reasonable figure for llv stands, in all feet in length, of spruce lumber, with from 12 to 18 rises, 8 to in lie apart, work to bo done ia four days. Tbo witness was busy with pencil and paper for some time. When the problem was worked out he said he should think under the oirc.u that a running foot wa a proper Thff means the sum of for tl ntlre work, including cost of material and labor and a fair percentage of pro lit.

When Mr. Ridgway took up the cros3 examination be to the witness the amount of lumber, nails, material, which the prosecution claims was about otr" quarter of the total bill paid, and asked th" witness to add to that what he considered a fair proportion of profit. Mr. Spieor's pencil was busy for a tim and when it ceased scratching over the paper It hud footed up but "That Is ail I have said Mr. itidgway.

Millor, D. pastor of tho Sixty first street M. of Nw York, emertaincd a largo audience in the First M. E. church of Greonpolnt Inst night by narrating some of his experiences on a farm.

It was a lecture and was called "Fun on a Farm." Dr. Miller was formerly pastor of this church, having been connected with it eight years in alL He was universally llkod and every ono who attended tho church during his pastorote that could do so was prosont. The result was that the edifice was crowded. The lecturo was mainly anecdotal, but in between tho ploasant stories the speaker told was sprinkled great deal of good advice, so.thot aside from the entertainment the evening was very profitably spent. Dr.

Miller was brought up on a farm, and ono of the objects of his talk was to show that farm life was not a dreary and monotonous existence as sometimes supposed. Tho speaker told of tho joyB of country life, both in the summer and winter, and his vivid description of interesting scenes and events made his hearers feel like actual witnesses and participants in them. At the close of the lecture nn inforninl reception wns hold and all who desired to do so were given an opportunity to shaka hands with thoir old pastor. Nonrly every ono present availed himsolf or herself of the opportunity. Beforo the lccturo Dr.

MoCullom played a seloctlon on the orgnn and Miss Emma Walthors sang a song appropriate to tho ocoasion "The Old Oaken Bucket." Next Wednesday ovening a conundrum supper will bo given by the womon of tho church in the chapol. OUR SIGNALMEN "WON. They "Were Too Much' for the First Brigade Corps. Messages Were Sent by Wire, Flag and Flash Light No Errors Made by Either Team, but the Time of the Local Wlgwagsers Was Thirty live Seconds Better Than That of the Men From New York An Interesting Contest. The competition between the First and Second brigade signal corps, at tho Thirteenth regiment armor' last night resulted in another victory for the Brooklyn wigwaggors.

At 8:30 o'clock Captain Leigh's men assembled at their quarters in tho Hall of Records and marched to the Flatbush avenue armory, where they found that tho New Yorkers had proceeded thorn. In tho northeast corner of tho big drill hall was a table on which was a telegraph instrument This was Station 1. In the southeast corner was another. This was Station 2. In the northwest corner was Station 3, a table containing a flash light.

Station 4 waB in tho southwest corner or tho hall. Captain Ives of the First brigade corps prepared a message of 100 letters in 20 words tor the Brooklyn signal men to send and receive Captain Leigh did the same for the New Y'orkers. "Words" in a wigwagging contest are not words in the accepted sense of the term. Far from it If tho signalmen were given a chance to guess what was coming from the first two or three letters sending and receiving would be altogether too easy a matter. So the 20 words into which the 100 letters were divided appeared vory much like this: xaft, gzub.

etc. The New Yorkers went first to the stations. Charles A. Tinker, general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company, and a signalman in tho United States service during the civil war. was At tho word "go" the telegraph instrument, Hag and the flash light began to work in the order named until the twenty words (the hundred letters) had gone from Station 1 through 2 and 3 and been received at 4.

"No errors; timo 4 minutes 58 seconds," said the referee. Could the Brooklyn men beat that record? Certainly they could not do more accurate work. They would try to send the letters fastor. The second brigade wigwaggers took their places on the four corners of the armory. "Go, was the command.

They went with a vengeance, and when the message had boon transmitted the people in tho gallery began to cheer. Everybody seemed to know that Brooklyn had won. errors; time, 4 minutos 23 seconds," said tho referee. Then tho two corps wero drawn up facing eaoh other and Mr. Tinker mado his decision.

The First brigade wigwaggers gave three rousing cheers for the Second brigade wigwaggers, to which tbe latter heartily responded. Captain Leigh's fery accurate signalmen for 1803 wero presented with medals. Then Captain Ives made a littlo speech and on behalf of the First brigade corps presented to tho Second brigade corps a guidon of silk, orange and white, containing the flags and torches, a very handsome piece of work. The corps again cheered each other. Then they both cheered Colonol Austen and the referee.

After that they marched to the Second brigade quarters, whore a collation was served. Tho prize for which the corps competed was a pair of field glasses. The names of the men composing tho two teams were ns follows: First brigade Privates H. L. Woodruff, S.

POETS OF THREE PERIODS. Dr. Charles H. Hall Reads an Entertaining Paper. He Was Rather Honl on the Bards Who Wrote Odes to (lur Grandmothers, but His Earnest Tributes to Longfellow, Lowell and Ilolmps Came From the Ilrart and Were Warmly Seconded hy the Aluninie Association of the Girls' High School.

The Rev. Dr. Charles II. n.11 le. tured on "Our Poets" before tho Alumnu association ot the Girls' high school last night, in tho Bchool building, at Nostrand avonue nnd Halsey streot.

A large audience was assembled in tbo main room. of the school and Dr. Hall's remarks woro interesting ouough to command cioso attention throughout. Tho lecturo wns divided into throo heads, first, four English poets; second, four colonial poets, and third, four modern American pools. Representative men in each division wero named, to show tho trend of sentlmont in tho times ia whlih they lived.

The references to poets of tho prosont day In tho Unitod States wero of especial interest. In opening his remarks Dr. Hall said: In Pope's timo the art was a wearisome and irksome process. To enjoy poetry it is well not to look boli in the scones, not to follow Goldsmith in his garret to Gruli street. Thero lias been a great revolution in tho poetic world, and it has come about in the last hundred years; indeed, we can date it from tho beginning of this century.

I shall offer to you in an imperfect way throo sets of poots, four In eaoh set, to show what English pootry your grand mistress found to bo tho proper thing, what colonial poetry thry exulted in, and then by a sort of contrast, what poetry delights you now and the subjects that are now commended by it. Dr. Hall took for the representative English poots Pope, Cowper, Byron and Moore. As an artist Dr. Hall said that ho admired Pope, but as a prophet never thought of hia inspirations as useful.

As to Cowper, ho was littlo of nn artist, though a man who had reverence for God, for woman, for tho rights of man and for nature. Nearly all his writings could bo better put In prose. Dr. Hall passed over Byroii and Mooro with a brief rofereuco and took up four colonial poets. Tho Bay I'salm book, recalling tho devotions of public assemblies in tho early settlements, was alludod to, and thou Joel Barlow, tho first American songster, of whom tho sponkor said ho had enough common to know that poetry could be mado intelligible.

Dr. Dwlght, president of Yalo college, was next taken up under this head. Dr. Hall said that this man was cultured so far as theology wont, but as a poet was tempted to bo stilted. His prose was infinitely moro intelligible and sensible.

John Trumbull wns enumerated as tho fourth colonial poot. Dr. Hall then enme to tho part of his lecturo which dealt with modern American poets, and ohoso for tho four representatives in this elnss Longfellow. Whittier, Holmes nnd Lowell, ail born between the years 1107 and 1S1U, a period remarkable for that fact. In speaking of this tho lecturor said: Tho honey hoes seem to have swarmed together when the rights of man and the freedom were mude sure to our countrymen.

Tney are true to our American convictions, they havo been vastly useful in deepening and sanctifying them. They are artists whom Europe confesses to be honorablo for their skill. They nro also patriots without folly. They are men Idu not say moralists or religionists, though they are all that but theirs is a broad sympathy with humanity. They havo lifted our Moos of tho sexes into the highest region of reverence, and they havo established our whims of beauty on the solid grounds of wisdom and good sense.

Thoy have written nothing in evil passion or for self interest. They havo revealed to tin old world in musical numbers iat wo of this side of tho Atlautlo mean bv liberty and humanity. Longfellow, tho chief In art, was considered first by tho speaker, nnd to him was applied this lnnguago: "Skilled in language and au im equaled translator of European tongues, nn observant travdor in thoso lauds, a devoted and diligent student, sympathizing with all that Is best in man, high and low. ho had tho heart to feol and the skill to utter the thoughts that stir us in common. His first songs havo thto charm of tho East.

As na artist Longfellow has enriched our common spoeoh with phases that are familiar." Of Whittier, among other things, was Bald Ho was formed in tho school of the abolitionists, a school of men defying all compromise. Our poet was second to none in his excoedlng hatred of the evils which at last brought on the civil war. His poems on this one Uioino introduced him to tho public, am! his skill as a poet preacher of humnnity did much to promulgate tho gospel of emancipation. His soul was given up to this ono thought ot freedom for the slave no matter what it iniirht Whittier was Drofoundly religious, always most delicate to the fair sex ana apt create tho beauty of faith in things unseen anil eternal." Oliver Wendell Holmes was the third modern American considered. No man has done more thun Holmes," said Dr.

Hall, "to delight and purify his generation, and he has uever written a lino that he need blot. Holmes' we could meet in the crowd, watchful, genial, with a smile to soften tho witty words which would prick the bladders of conceit or send the hypocrite sniveling to his cell. He is the poet of that much misnamed thing common sense. With humor and pathos closely allien are ins satire ami sympathy, ills one in tolerance is against hypocrisy." His lancet is niwuys at Hand lor that. Of James Kussell Lowell Dr.

Hall spoke Interestingly. Thu gist of his remarks on this last representative poet may be summed up as follows: "He is I llarlyithe poet of statecraft. He threw his in lluence on tho side of th nboiitionists, and his fame rests largely on the poems wlun are manual for statesmen, "Present Crisis, 1 "The Blgelow Papors' and 'Commemoration i 'The Present Crisis' is the grandest natural that bos ever been written. It is an appeal the nut urnl eonscienco, liko the first ehapt of tbo prophot Isaiah." In closing his discourse Dr. Hall said that the tests which might be applied to poetry wre ns i follows: 1.

Poetry, us seeing the tilings unseen beneath tbo seen, should bo reverential or de vout in its best sonso. 2. Poetry slcuM rever i ence woman. 3. Our poets were created by the rights of man.

xhe chief use o'f po i etry Is to lift our oyes to tho eternal hope, to join in our consciousness the seen und the un i seen.
