Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 21, 1907. Mr. Dooley. on the Sport of Kings By F. P. DUNNE "H (Copyright. 1007. by H. H. McClure & Co.) AVE ye lver been to 4. horee race?" Mr. Hennessy asked. "Wanst," said Mr. Dooley, "an' wanst only. But, mind ye, I know about racln'. I've got to. I'd lose a gr-reat deal In thrade If I wasn't expert In ivry branch lv human knowledge. They talk about celledgo profissors beln' undherpaid. But bow about us retail liquor dealers? A colledge proflssor spills careless thoughts out his head to mere chlldher that don't dare to fight back. Ye nlver heerd lv a misinformed gradyate returnln" afther five years to whack his proflssor In th 'eye because he'd been taught that a man can make a fortune wrltln' pothry f'r th" pa-apers. But my classes ar-re composed !v able-bodied men, manny lv thlm far advanced in dhrink, an' I've got to know what I'm talkln' about, an' that's hard, an' I've got to know what they're talkln' about, an" that's almost impos sible. "So I've followed th' racln' news an' I know about th' performances lv th' kings and queens lv th' turf. In th' Spring I r-read: 'Forty thousand people yisterdah acclaimed th' gr-reat Gumdhrop, mighty son iv a worthy sire, king lv th' turf. Hats off to Gumdhrop. Wearln' blinders an' a muzzle to keep him" fr'm jumpin" over th' fence or atin' th" starther. an' mercilessly lashed be that peerless jockey, little Billy Film, th' monarch Iv th' spoort iv kingb be a supreme burst Iv speed van quished th' gallant Stuff II an' th' sturdy Fickled-be-night, an' even compelled th' hitherto Invincible Maud H. Schmitt schmltt to bow her lovely head in de feat. Afther th' race th proud owner lv th' mighty son tv a worthy sire, A. Bliff. former prince Iv wire-tappers, ray fused three millyon dollars f'r this mighty son lv a worthy sire. "At wanst me af-tintion is centered on Gumdhrop. I talk a good deal about him to wayfarln' spoortin' men who come In here f'r dhrink and knowledge, I watch th' pa-papers close f'r th' day whin I'll see: 'Mighty throng cheers peerless Gumdhrop to victhry.' Instead lv that I see: 'Gumdhrop, off badly, got a poor ride, was knocked out lv his sthride at th' turn an' had no speed.' Th' next week It's: 'Gumdhrop, off well, was badly handled.' Thin: .'Comp'ny too fast f'r Gumdhrop.' An' finally: 'Glue wurruks Elimination Thrlle: f'r horses that were, betther dead; thirty dollars added; sell ing; Gumdhrop ran like th' dog he Is an' finished absolutely last.' An' th' next Winter I run acrost this item in th' pa apers: 'Few lv th' manny spoortin' men who pass through th' union deepo ivry day on their way to wurruk knows that Gumdhrop, th' wanst mighty king lv th' turf, is now connected with wan lv th cabs near th' main entrance, an' can be seen hidin ' his blushes in a nose-bag. Th" former mighty son iv a worthy sire is owned by T. Doherty, who bet much money on him, an nacherally has a great affection f'r him. He says he is almost even with him now an' soon expects to ehoot him.' "An" so they go. Th' turf romances don't last long. There are more kings and queens iv th' turf in wan season thin there are Presldints iv France, an' that's a good manny. But It's a grand spoort. an' whin Hogan asked me to go an' see It I wlnt. 'Twas wan iv these fine Summer's days whin ye feel like a flannel shirt in th' wash, an' I was won dhrln' what shape I'd be in whin I cooled. Hogan burst through th' dure with a telescope hung round h!s neck, an' says he: "Why d'ye stick indures such a day? Come out an' breathe th' fresh air,' he says, 'an' injye th' spoort lv kings. I've got a good thing In th' first race,' he says. 'Not,' he says, 'that I care anny thing about that. Bettin' is th' poorest feature tv racln". "Tls th' open air, the fresh breezes, th' clear sky, th' crowds iv happy, careless people spendin' a day free f'rm care an' worry midst,' he says, pleasant surroundings," he says, 'watch In' th" mighty heroes lv th" turf contlndin' f'r gin'rous msthry, an," he says, 'maybe bringin' In a little money f'r Hogan,' he says. "So I wlnt. Goln' to the' spoort Iv kings, Hinnissy, Is much th' same as goln' to a picnic lv th' Steamfltters' Union. We rode on a sthreetcar as long as they'd let us f'r five cents an' thin we boosted oursilves into a railroad car that's been kindly lent to th' passenger department by th' gineral freight agent f'r th' occasion. An away we bumped. Th' car was filled to th' dew point with what Ho gan calls vothries iv th' spoort of kings. I thought I recognized some fellow members lv th' Retail Liquor Dealers' Protective an' Binlvolent As socyatlon an' not a few customers iv th' same. Ail th' arrystocracy an' gintry had their coats off. Fair wo men added gayety to th' scene. Many Iv thlm were Just off their private yachte an' still had on their yachtin" caps. Their faces were flushed with happiness an' wore the' pleased but hunted expression lv mothers that have busted into baby's bank with a can opener. "We moved cheerily along through th' pleasant suburban scenery with vistas lv th' packin' house, Broderlck's glue facthry, th' palachal homes lv th' bone-dust lnduethry an' smllin' miles iv city dumps. As I hung airily to a pair of blue suspinders in front iv me while a patrician behind me used me back f'r a desk to mark his pro gramme, I heerd th' flow Iv light an" careless conversation. 'He'll win If they haven't poisoned him.' 'I lose 80 on him last time. If I don't get It back today there'll be a new face at th' cashier's window.' 'Hello, Mike, whin did ye get out?" An' so on. 'A typical light-hearted holiday crowd,' says I, puttin' me watch in me boot. "Whin we arrived at th' thrack I felt me heart beatin" faet. If ye niver saw a race thrack, Hinnissy, ye can hardly Imagine what It looks like. How can I describe It to ye beyond sayln' that It is something like a coal yard. Picture, if ye will, miles on miles iv stately boord fence, some iv It taste fully painted brown an' some lv it tastefully not painted at all. Outside are th' handsome stables, or ye might say, eheds, where tn" equine heroes ar-re nourished fr their thrlles lv speed an' endurance. It was' me hap piness to see th" nursry iv th' mighty Running Yet who wud've won th' Blithers if he hadn't grot despondent about th' odds. "Inside th' scene was even more fasci natln'. .A gentle breeze blew acrost th' swamp in th' middle lv th' coorse fr'm th' adjacent switch yard. Th" sun-was reflected in a thousand mud puddles on th' coorse. The grandstand was filled with happy people, yellin': 'Set down, there.' 'Why don't ye look where ye'er goin'?' 'I'll knock ye'er block off, bo, If ye're not careful.' 'What d'ye hear?' 'Tomorrah honest. Ye can take me watch if ye don't believe me.' An enormous foorce iv pollsmen were busy rescuin' vast hordes lv plckpockers fr'm th' bettin' ring. Th' 90 bartenders were wurrukin' like th' fire department at a fire In a lard facthry. It was fine. " 'Where ar're th' horses?' says I. 'Oh, niver mind thim.' says Hogan, 'Let's go In an' look at th' odds." An" he hauled me into th' betting ring. Most lv th' gintlemen I'd met on th' thraln an' a few more were there. What were they doln'? Ye can't guess. Ye niver wud Imagine- it. They were In th' betting' ring to take th' money away fr'm th' book makers. Wud ye believe it that there shud be people so lost to th' beauties lv nature an so lackin' In th' spirit lv spaort that they shud be usin' this here great enterprise f'r th' improvement iv th' breed lv horses to skin money out lv these onforchnit publishers. But so It was. An' they were doin' it In th' meanest way ye can imagine, f'r ivry wan lv these pilferers had private Information that th' book makers cudden't get hold iv on account lv th' confined nature lv their employment. Some lv them had got It out iv th' morn ing pa-apers, some iv them had bought it f'r 6 cents fr'm a spy op th' thraln an' others had dnreamed It. "I'm sorry to say that Hogan was th' worst lv th' lot. 'It's a beautiful day' says I. 'It Is that,' says Hogan. 'I'll go home with money In me ears' he says. An' he fought his way up to where a poor fellow lv a thrlbe long persecuted be our so-called civyllzation was absent-mindedly blowln' on a dlmon ring to cool It off. 'What are ye goln' to do?' says I. "Tincan can't lose In th' first race," says Hogan. 'I got.lt sthralght fr'm th' stable.' 'But.' says I. 'is this right? Here ye have be supeeryor cunning gained private knowledge be means lv'wnlch ye are goln' to deprive wan lv ye'er fellow men iv his little savings. Is it just?' says I. 'Is it fair? Is it hon'rable? Is It manly?' He gave no heed to. what I said, but called out: "Ten on Tincan.' Th' poor fellow looked far away an' remarked, to a young friend who was settin' alongside as he dropped Hogan's ten on a pile iv Cortll you's mastherpleces on th' flure: 'Thirteen thousand to ten, Tincan, Maxey. I'm afraid we're goin' to have another shower an' I have no top on me autj-mobill.' "We wint up in th' grand stand to see th' race. 'They're at yi' poet", says Hogan. 'Where?' says I. 'Over there.' says he. pointin' to where a group of horses were kickin' each other. 'That wan near th' fence -is Tincan. He's in good spirts.' says he. "He Is that," says I. 'How happy he seems. ' Look, he thinks th' race Is th' other way round. Now that fellow has caught him an' is towin' him up to th' start. ; Another man Is beltin' him with a .whip. Now he's thried to bite his jockey's leg off. Now he's kickin' th' horse next to him. Glory be, but he's th' fine mettlesome crather. Did ye lver think lv buyln' him an' keepin' him in th' house? says I. Hogan made no reply but give a low painful moan: 'They're off.' Fr'm that time on I was savin' me new hat fr'm th', purple parasol Iv th' lady settin' next to me. Th' moment th' race started she threw off all reserve an' manny lv her hair pins an' began batin' me new hat. 'Come on' says th' lady. 'Come on, you Finkydo. Come on, you seal. Oh, you Finkydo' says she, lashln' away at me new hat. An' thin she swooned away. That's .all I seen Iv th' race. I looked over at Hogan. His face was light green in dolor. He was crumplin' up his programme with wan hand an' twlstln' a button on his coat with th' other. An' I left him there an' wint away to find a place where me new hat wudden't be in danger. "I found It over In a corner lv th' coorse where th' owner iv th' thrack was settin' in th' shade iv th' fence readin' th' ad vertisements lv his new copper mine. I knew him well. He. owns th' Temple lv Chance, where Hogan whiles away his salary In th' Winter. 'Why ain't ye- out lookin' at th' horses run?' says I. 'I don't like horse-racing." says he. 'My wurruk is through whin Ive counted up th' box-office.' 'Ain't ye inthrested In 1m provin' th' breed lv horses?' says I. 'No more,' says he, thin I am in improvln'. th' breed lv faro boxes. I can't see anny diff'rence between thim. They're only an other way lv honest men gettin' what's comln' to thim. Take ye'er frind Hogan. He thinks he's inthrested in th' horses. But what he's raaly Inthrested in is whether me young an' entherprisin' col lague Mose Einstein will give him bcch his ten an' some besides. Ye didn't see anny dlffreifce in his expression whin Tincan lost today, an' whin th' sivln spot lost last Winter. 'Tis all the same, me boy. Close up that there betting ring an' ye'd have more people at wan lv Ibsen's plays thin at a racethrack.- If th' var chous farmer down th' .state didn't sup port his counthry fairs with a little pool sellin' on th' throtters, I'd .subdivide thf here thrack an' sell th' lots to th' path rons iv th' bucket-shops. Has Hogan lost much so far?' 'He's lost th' on'y bet he's made," says I. 'He's doln' very well f'r Hogan,' says he. "I suppose ye can't stop people fr'm gambling. ' I don't know that I wud if I cud. It seems to take their minds off th' more coarse ways - iv makin' money, like wurruk an' business. .Money is a very pleasant thing to have an' 'tis too bad whin we have to assocyate such a delightful house hold companyon with gettin' up arly in th" mornln" an' carryin' a hod all day or. sellin' a dollar an" a half's worth lv shoes fr two dollars. But th' money ye get be gambling has no such assocyatlons. It thrips lightly an' laughingly up to ye, ye keep it around with ye f'r a day or two an' thin it goes back home. Th' money ye make be wurruk Is like a member lv th' fam'ly. Ye feel responsible f'r it. Ye don't like to se it go out nights. But th' money ye make be gamblin' Is like a visitor that's on'ly goin' to stay awhile an' that frequently asks ye out to have a drink." . "Well," said Mr. Hennessy, "I've heerd it said that all life's a gamble." "It Is," said Mr. Dooley, "but It ain't a bad idea whin ye set into th' game to lam how to play it an' to cut th" cards deep." Actors Swelter Behind the Footlights GLITTER AND SPANGLES DO NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE HOT, EXHAUSTING LABOR OF STAGE LIFE IN SUMMER NEW YORK, July 15. (Special Cor respondence.) People are more Interested In what the season ahead will bring, than they are In the offerings of the present, notwithstand ing several "good shows' In town. But Jthe town Is hot, terribly hot, and even the fascinations of "Fascinating Flora," or of Eddie Foy in "The Or chid" are hardly strong enough to cope with the exhaustion at the close of a hot day. If there are those who en'y the actor his glitter and spangles, at least let it not be during these months of torrid weather. Those holding the field to the last endurable moment are the two just mentioned, "The Road to Yesterday." "The Man of the Hour," "Caught in the Rain," and the Keith and Proctor houses. Roof Gardens and out-door attractions of all kinds, good, bad, and Indifferent, mt which the two latter prevail. Among the American attractions to go abroad Is "Fascinating Flora," with Adele Ritchie In the title role. Messrs. Shubert will send the play to their Waldorf theater, London, early in the Fall. Perhaps the funilest situation in the play i supplied by Ada Lewis, when she sings the duet from "II Trovatore" with the Caruso record In a graphophone. The machine Is brought on and after her cool an nouncement that she has sung with Caruso and taken a prize for her sing ing; the audience is not quite expect ing the duet with the record. Miss Lewis sings her part seriously, but of course, in a burlesque manner, while the voice of the tenor peals out, or rather rolls out, as though It were the bona fide article. But, Indeed, it is neither the comedy nor the clever line's -that attracts all the modistes of New York, as well as all those visiting the city, it having been noised abroad that the gowns are the handsomest se-in on Broadway for many years. The management has been asked by every fashion paper in New York for a de tailed description of these gowns, which they have consented to give herewith: ' They were the selection of Miss Adele "Ritchie,, prima dona of the company, and they are models of beauty. Each one of the seven might be worn at any swell function, so beautiful is the ma terial, cut and fit. One Is of brown chiffon taffeta with fine pin etrlpe of white.

Oscar Hammerstein returned on Sat urday full .of expectations and enter prises for the coming seuson. There Is no doubt that Mr. Hammerstein was encouraged by his success of last year; and he will exert himself mtre than ever In order to make the coming sea son infinitely superior to the last. Mr; Hammerstein will present eight . new operas, never given heretofore in this country. He will revive seven favor ites and he will produce four of the Wagnerian operas, in addition to the regular repertory. The season will open Monday, November 4, with Nordica and Schumann-Heink, 1n "La Gloconda." Soon after the opening, . the Spanish opera, "Dolores," by " the Madrid com poser, Breton, wu be given. Of this opera, Mr. Hammerstein-speaks enthu siastically, and says it has many of the characteristics and much of. the charm of "Carmen." Mr. Hammerstein has engaged for this production the artists ,who created the principal roles. These are: Camille Borella, soprano; Gerville-Reache, contralto; Carlo Al banl, tenor; Pletro Mendoza, basso, and 24 Spanish dancers from Madrid One of Mr. Hammerstein's principal achieve ments, was signing. Mary Garden for a five-years contract and Immediately after closing with the American impres sario. she was appointed prima donna assoluta of the National Grand Opera of Paris, by which she will sinf five months of each year in New YorZt and fo-ur months in Paris. Miss Garden will be heard for the first time in "Louise," an opera by Charpentler, which has had a tremen dous run in Paris. It seems strange that an opera could have held the boards steadily for six years without helving, at some time or another, drift ed across the ocean. Mr. Hammerstein also secured "Thais." for - which : Mr. Conrled was ' negotiating . at ;the same time, and at a tremendous expenditure It was captured by Mr". Hammerstein. "Mary Garden an-d Fannie Francises will be the principals In the new opera, with Renaud, the great French bari tone, also in the cast. Fannie Fran clsca will be remembered as Miss Mlch elson, of San Francisco, a sister of Miriam Michelson, the well-known writer. Renaud will also sing the lead ing role in a new opera entitled, "Contes d'Hoffman." Mr. Hammerstein's prima donnas Include Melba, Mary Gar den, Nordicav Schumann-Heink, Mme. Russ, Bressler-Gianoli, Gerville-Reache, De Cieneros, and a large number of others. On the question of tenors, Mr. Hammerstein seems to have encircled the globe, because he was determined to make good the loss of Bond. who. according to Mr, Hammerstein, was of very little use to him, in so far as New York was not attracted to his peculiar, pure Italian style. ; ' :. Among the tenors engaged for the Man hattan Opera House are the Italian Zen atello, Albanl the Spaniard. Cazouran, a Greek from Algiers; Dalmores Bassi, also Italian. There will also be- a tremendous aggregations of baritones and bassos in cluding Morice Renaud, Sammarco,. An cona, Gilibert, Arimondl, Dufranne. and Jean Perier, two leading artists of the Paris Opera Comique. A new basso from the same theater Is Vle-utlle. ; Other new bassos are Dldur, a Pole, and Mendoza, a Spaniard. The new operas will in clude works by Dubussy, Massenet, Saint Saens, Offenbach and an unwritten opera by Victor Herbert. Of last, year's repertory Mn. Hammer stein retains "Don Giovanni," "Lucia dl Lammermoor,". "Rlgoletto," "II r Trova tore," "Lo Travlta." "Alda."' "The Huguenots," "Cavalleria Rusticana." ' Fagliaccl," "La Navarraise," and "La Boheme." He expects to add thereto, be sides the novelties, "La Gloconda," "Mef Istofele," Giordano's "Andrea Chenler," "La Damnation de -Faust," "Le Pro phete,'' Massenet's "Manon," "Romeo et Juliette," "The Flying Dutchman," "Tannhauser," "Lohengrin," and per haps "TrlBtan und Isolde." The Wagner operas will be sung not In German, but In either French or Italian. Opera in German will not be heard at the Man hattan for another year. It will be noted that Mr. Hammerstein has engaged several American singers, and It is also a fact that the very best opportunities are offered capable sing ers in the chorus of the Manhattan Opera Company. One can only regret that a number of characteristics which are purely American In addition to others that are to be found in an alarming de gree among musical students should pre vent most of the Americans from rising into real distinction In the operatic world. No less important figure in the musical world than Henry W. Savage stated that there are no voices to be found anywhere any better than In this country, but the American singer is sadly in need of dra matic training. Mr. Savage says that thousands are well ready and perfectly equipped to go on the operatic stage if they needed nothing but singing. Even these young aspirants who need dramatic action worse than they need anything In - rf fffiW Ant icieao 011 Sale!

They feel that it is below their dignity, and it is even doubtful whether they would care to consider the second or the third part. A strange similarity is said to exist be tween Charles Marlowe's farce, "When Knights Were Bold," and the much more clever dream play, "The Road to Tester day." The peculiarity exists In the fact that the two were produced almost simul taneously. "When Knights Were Bold" Is among the plays which Charles Froh man plans to offer in America, out there Is no doubt that the edge will be taken for all play-goers, as It Is doubtful that there are any in New York who has not witnessed the American play. The Eng glsh farce Is boisterous and rollicking full of horseplay and absurdities. Sir Guy de Vere is a silly sapling who has Just succeeded to a title, but he is not yet possessed with the dignity that goes with the ancestral seat. He has be come terribly wearied of the constant boasting of his relatives about the fam ily's nobility and through his careless ness of the conventions his cousin, whom he hopes to marry, turns from him to a bogus Irish count who is visiting at Beechwood Towers and scheming for her hand. Sir Guy, who has spent the day hunting, has caught a severe cold in the head, and while the party retires to dress for dinner, In the hope of curing his cold, he drinks' enough brandy to put him to sleep through several acts. Then follows the dream experiences, where he appears among his ancestors In modern evening dress, but is completely confused when he is surrounded by his twentieth cen tury friends, also in the dress and man ners of the twelfth century. When he awakes in the final act, he attempts to carry out a duel begun In the twelfth century and particularly attacks his plot ting guest, Sir Brian, .and succeeds In convincing his fair cousin that he has won her fairly and squarely.
