THE 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

terial, cut and fit. One Is of brown

loops and forms a Japanese effect.
The under-sleeve and gulmpe are of
fine tucked mull and embroidered ba
tiste. A blue silk girdle finishes the

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

the world scorn the Idea of going Into the
chorus at the Metropolitan or the Man
hattan. 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.
