Adelaide Prince was born in London, Eng., but when very young she came to this country with her father, Solomon Rubenstein, and received here her early education. While yet a young girl she went to Galveston, Tex., where she was married to Henry D. Prince, She became a member of the Histrionic Society of Galveston, an organization of amateurs, and thus made her first appearance upon the stage as Pauline, in The Lady of Lyons, She played a number of leading roles while a member of this society, and gained considerable local reputation. Having been divorced from Mr. Prince, she determined to adopt a professional career, and In furtherance of her plan she obtained private instructions at the Lyceum School of Acting, in New York, under Hency C. De Mille and Franklin H.1 Sargent. She made her professional debut, under the name of Adelaide Rubens, as Ethel Sorrento, in A Possible Case, under the management of J. M. Hill, at Portland, le. She remained throughout the season with that company, and then joined Augustin Dalys forces, resuming the name of Prince and making her first appearance as f Swift Work on the Wheel William De Cardy Covers Ten Miles In 24:10 and William Bainbridge Makes Five Mile In 11:40. .

In cycling circles it is the ' general opinion that while De Cardy and records may not be made official Immediately, they will stand for some time to come. The League of American Wheelmen will probably settle the question when the racing board holds its next session. Meanwhile Bainbridge and De Cardy are the heroes of the day.

The Baltimore scribes do not like new coaching rules, which is notjto tt$ wondered at when the make-u- p th team is taken into consideration.

That accounted for batting streaks and many a victory. The new rules have hfirt the Orioles worse than any other club, because they are nearly all young, enthusiastic, scrappy players, (Whose playing depends largely upon their en thusiasm. It is not a little discouraging to a Baltimore rooter to see, After 4 close decision, Kelley and Brodie and Jennings and McGraw come running In from the field in the old scrappy fashion, and then, remembering the1 new order of things,, shut their lips tight and sullenly and slowly walk back to their places, as if every bit of) starch were taken out of them.

I should have liked above all things to have had it come off in Florida, but that is utterly impossible now. f Fitzsimmbns wanted it to take place in New Orleans, and now that is likewise impossible. Corbett never, expressed anything to me in person other than to say that it should take place as soon as possible anywhere where there could be a fair fight and no favor. I favor bringing the meeting off In Texas Dallas, for Instance. There would not the slightest danger of interference. It is all rubbish for Fitzsimmons to talk about giving the fight to some other club in the event the Florida Athletic club, which I am representing, fails to bring it off in Florida. There is not a sentence or clause in the articles of agreement which says that the Florida Athletic club must bring off the fight in Florida. I would not be Chump enough to post $5,000 guarantee to bring off a fight in any one specified community or state, for the reason that ypu cant tell what minute a court or legislature will nip your scheme in the bud. I simply posted $5,000 guarantee for the privilege of bringing off the fight. We stand ready to bring it off, and according to the articles can bring it off wherever we see fit.

William de Cardy, one n of the riders in Chicago, rode ten miles In 24 minutes 10 seconds, reducing the record from 24 minutes and 13 seconds. De Cardy?s phenomenal time was made under conditions, by no means favorable to record-makin- g and the feat Is considered a most remarkable one. William Bainbridge, who for years past has been deemed one of the speediest men on the path, spun out five miles in the wonderfully fast time of 11 minutes and 40 seconds. The best previous record was 12 minutes and 13 seconds. performance is as astonishing as any that has startled the cycling world in many a season. That the time and records are authentic there Is not the slightest room to doubt, and the day following Chicago cycling circles were all excitement over the achievements of the two favorite g racers. This is the first real of the season and sets a pace that will be difficult for other cities to keep. Chicago, however, is generally admitted to have the best and fastest riders in the country, and interest In the sport, which was thought to be almost at fever heat; will now be greatly Increased. There is always1 a dispute about records and the usual amount of discussion will doubtless ensue as to the validity of Bainbridges record.
