THE OLDEST ACTOR IN ENGLAND.
To Mr. James Doel of Stonehouse,
Plymouth, belongs the proud distinc-
tion of being the oldest actor in Eng-
land. Mr. Doel, who recently celebrat-
ed his ninety-sixth birthday, is also
the possessor of a perennial youthful-
ness and freshness which render him
the marvel of all his acquaintances.
With his slim and almost boyish fig-
ure, his keen and still bright glance and
the air of wonderful alertness which
might rather belong to a man half his
years, it is difficult to realize that one is
looking at the contemporary of Edmund
Kean, of Phelps and Macready.
Mr. Doel made his first appearance in
1820—just 80 years ago. He has played
many parts in his day, but his forte
was comedy. There are yet veteran
playgoers who will tell you with enthu-
siasm of his excellent First Gravedigger
in “Hamlet,” of the immense humor of
his Mrs. Malaprop, the artistic subtlety
of his Paul Pry. One of the proudest of
the old man’s memories is the recollec-
tion of having been Launcelot Gobbo to

man than any he has yet been up
against, besides which the latter has
the very material advantage of a lon-
ger and more varied ring experience.
Ryan knows every one of the tricks of
the fistic game and is noted for his
speedy footwork, aggravating feipts
and the ability to take instant advan-
tage of the slightest opening or weak-
ness displayed by an opponent.
So well thought of is Ryan that the
most prominent heavyweights are al-
ways anxious to get him into their
camps as sparring partner and adviser
when they are training for important
matches. There is no doubt that it is to
him that Champion Jim Jeffries is in-
debted for all the knowledge he has
gained of scientific boxing during the
past two years, and it is Ryan’s gen-
eralship and knowledge of ring tactics
which enabled the champion to change
the complexion of the last two fights he
has engaged in. Jeffries’ fights with
Sharkey and Corbett would probably
have resulted in draws or even in de-
feats for the champion had not Ryan
been in his corner and told him exactly

must have ability of a very high order.
Root is an exceptionally clever boxer
and reckons on his science and quick-
ness of foot rather than on strength
and slugging, though he is by no means
weak in the. latter two qualities, being
able to deliver a knockout blow with ei-
ther fist.
It is a rare thing to find a boxer who
combines cleverness and hard hitting.
A man who does this, as a rule, comes
close to being a champion. Those who
have witnessed many of Root’s battles
contend that he has both these qual-
ities in a high degree.
XPERT marksmen with all classes
I of firearms are in clover just now
and no mistake. Besides the great
number of rifle and revolver competi-
tions in this country, many contests
have been arranged in connection with
the Paris exposition.
The French capital is just now the
Mecca of expert marksmen of all na-
tions, among whom are a goodly num-
prizes for best scores and best centers
are offered for this competition. Gus
Zimmerman wall surely enter, and
many of his friends think he stands a
good chance to carry off the first prize,
as well as some of the other rewards of-
fered.
Commencing June 11 the Interstate
association will hold at Interstate park,
on Long Island, what the programme
terms the “first grand American handi-
cap target tournament.” It is expected
that in a very few years this tourna-
ment will bear the same relation to the
target shooting world that the Grand
American Handicap does to the trap
shooters.
All classes of shooters have been
considered in drawing up the schedule
of events for each of the four days set
apart for the tournament. The associa-
tion has made one bold step that it is
hoped will be favorably regarded by
the shooters. It has decided to
handicap by distance only, regarding
this system as the fairest' and most
easily adjusted of any now in vogue.
The winner of the Grand American
Handicap will receive a sterling silver
trophy. The entrance fee is $12, includ-
ing targets.

con-
tinue daily until finished. The contests
have been divided into 24 classes, for
which over 10,000 prizes, aggregating
over $40,000, are offered.
The competition in this tournament
will take place on the fine ranges at
Versailles, which are as good as any in
the world. One hundred and thirty dif-
ferent styles of targets will be shot at
at distances varying fr.om 13 to 330
yards.
Some time during Augri^t a competi-
tion for the fourth international team ’
' rifle championship of the world will be I
■ held in connection with the exposition. >
i Teams will consist of five representa- j
fives of each nation. They will shoot at ;
330 yards, 40 rounds standing, 40 kneel- i
ing and 40 lying down. The contestants
may use any style of rifle. The individ-
ual rifle championship of the world, at a
distance of 220 yards will also be held.
Each entry will be required to shoot ten
times at this distance. Three hundred
After several clinches White got his
breath and began to do a little work on
his own account, jabbing and clinching
as the opportunity presented. Terry
meanwhile gave him no rest, and it
again began to look bad for the west-
erner. At the end of the first round
Terry hooked his left on White’s jaw
and again toppled him over.
During the next four rounds McGov-
ern sailed into White, slashing away
with both arms as fast as possible,
while just as • the former seemed in a
position to land effectively White would
slip into a clinch. In the sixth round
White took upon himself to do some
slugging and landed repeatedly, having
the better of the fighting.
Terry’s admirers are cocksure that
their favorite will easily prove his su-
periority over the Chicagoan when they
come together for this 25 round affair,
though White’s showing at their recent
meeting has won him a lot of admirers.
It is due to O’Brien, however, to say
that he showed in this battle that he is
game to the core and can take punish-
ment without flinching. At one time
during the encounter McFadden landed
a punch on the mouth which knocked
a gold tooth which was set on a pivot
clean out of O’Brien’s head. The latter
coolly picked up the artificial masti-
cator and, throwing it over to Tom
O’Rourke, who was in his corner, coolly
went on with the fight.
Special interest attaches to this en-
counter because the winner is to fight
Frank Erne for the lightweight cham-
pionship. The recent bout between
O’Brien and McFadden was for the
purpose of deciding which should have
the honor of meeting Erne, but the fact
that it resulted in a draw rendered an-
other meeting necessary.
It is said that after he has fought the
winner of the forthcoming encounter
Erne will retire permanently from the
ring, win or lose.
OME interesting fistic encounters
are on the cards for the near fu-
ture. A battle that will be closely
watched is the one arranged between
Tommy Ryan and Jack Root. Both
men are well known to followers of the
ring. Root has only been before the
public for a little over three years,
while Ryan has been fighting for more
than a decade.
Ryan, whose real name is Joseph
Youngs, was born in 1870 at Redwood,
N. Y., and is 5 feet 7% inches in height;
Root was born in Austria in 1876 and is
5 feet 10 inches tall. Ryan’s record in
the ring is a phenomenal one. He has
engaged in over 50 battles and has suf-
fered but one reverse. This was the

is probable, however, that Ryan would

Two days after the O’Brien-McFad-
den meeting Terry McGovern is sched-
uled to again tackle Tommy White of
Chicago in New York. Last April the
boys met at Tattersails in Chicago, and
the westerner surprised the talent by
giving the featherweight champion a
full six rounds’ argument. As the
“Terrible Terry” had already bowled
over Eddie Santry in the same building
in five rounds, it was not thought that
White would stay the limit. White and
Santry were 'considered the best feath-
erweights in the west.

opponent for all he was worth.
Taking everything into consideration,
the battle between Ryan and Root
ought to be a very pretty and fast af-

shape, as undoubtedly they will be, for
each fully appreciates the importance
of the encounter. "

A few days later, on June 9, Jack
O’Brien and George McFadden will
meet again before the Broadway A. C.,
in New. York. As it is only about a
month since these two men fought,
there is no need to employ analogy to
get at their relative merits. Their' re-
cent encounter, it will be remembered,
resulted in a draw—at least that is
what the referee, Johnny White, called
it. Many unprejudiced witnesses of the
bout, however, assert that the decision
should have gone to McFadden.
After the encounter O’Brien’S face
was terribly cut and bleeding, while
MicFadden did not show even a scratch.
It may be asserted that O’Brien did
most of the rushing during the fight,
yet every time he did so McFadden
blocked him off cleverly and often in-
flicted punishment.

ber of Americans. The exposition au-
; thorities have been very anxious to
■ have a large representation from the
j United States, and it is thought that
the Americans will easily prove that
the finest rifle and revolver experts are
to be found on this side of the Atlantic.
That our men will meet foemen
i wmrthy of their steel is not to be doubt-
ed, for the numerous valuable prizes
offered will serve to attract the best
shots from every country of the globe.
Beginning about the middle of this
month and extending until the middle
of August the tournaments will be held
. almost continuously and«>the prizes dis-
tributed will be wmrth a respectable for-
tune. All classes ’of firearms will be
embraced in the competitions, as re-
wards are offered,, for5. excellence in
shooting with rifles, carbines, shotguns,
’ ' ’ ’ " ' ’ ' r arms
"of all descriptions, including even
straight bows, crossbows and cannon.
Several competitions'will be held at
live bird shooting. . The first of these
will take place under the auspices of
the Bois de Boulogne club for the Grand
Prix du Centenaire. _ It will be at a
distance of 25 meterg, and $2,000 will be
distributed among the four high guns,
the wix.- . get half that amount.
On the 25th of this mOk-tt tji«3 ' ’£fe£st
single shooting event of the exposition
will take place. This will be for the
Grand Prix de 1’Exposition at live birds
and will be under the auspices of the
same club. The first prize in this event
will amount to $4,000. The conditions
are that six pigeons shall be shot at
from a distance of 27 meters at the rate
of two birds a day.
From July 15 to 17 still another live
bird tournament will take place at 20
birds, for which 30 prizes are offered.
The event that will excite the greatest
interest on this side of the water will
be the Franco-American international
revolver match by cable. This event
will be held about June 20 and will be
shot by teams of ten men on each side,
each team to shoot in its own country.
When the articles of agreement for
this tournament were drawn up, it wras
decided that each side should name
half the conditions. Consequently half
the match will be shot at a standard
and half at the regulation French tar-
get. Each man is to fire 60 shots—30 at
52% feet on a French target and 30 at
50 yards on a standard American target.
The day before the event a tourna-
ment will take place in New York to
choose the men to represent America.
The affair is being managed on this
side of the water by the newly formed
United States Revolver association, of
which Dr. R. H. Sayre of New York is
president and B. F. Wilder secretary
and treasurer.
Besides this match there will be an
open international team revolver con-
test during the first week of August.
Each team will consist of five men, and
each man will shoot ten series of six
rounds at a distance of 55 yards. The
winning team will receive $350, and the
two highest individual scores will di-
vide $250.
From July 8 to 13 the international
rifle championship of Europe will be
decided at Dresden. The best rifle shots
in the world are always present at this
tournament, and the added attraction
of the Paris exposition will bring many
more to the shoot this year.
Gus Zimmerman of New York, who
has made it his business to go to Eu-
rope yearly to gather in prizes and
medals at the various rifle tournaments
and has several times carried off the
championship of the world, is now in
Vienna. He will enter the lists for the
European championship and will after-
ward go to Paris, where he will un-
doubtedly carry off a fair percentage
of the prizes.

Catcher Buckley of the Chicago Amer-

“The successful pitcher is the one
that has the bends and wriggling to go
through before delivering the ball. The
fellow that stands in one spot and faces
the plate and throws from that is dead
easy for the batters. They see the ball
all the time and learn the curve,at the

Terry McGovern, champion feather-

as a full fledged actor, with a speaking
part, in the near future. Following in
the footsteps of other successful pugi-
lists, the youthful knocker out, Vvho re-
cently reached his majority, will appear
in a special play now being written for.
him.
“The Bowery After Dark” is the play
which will see the champion as its hero,
and a hero of the regulation melodrama
sort, who rescues a beautiful maiden
from the flames and does other acts
calculated to inspire applause from tha
gallery critics. The principal scene in
the play, however, will be a boxing
bout, much after the manner of “Sport-
_ ing Life.” Terry has appeared before

There is one member of the cast of
“The Degenerates” who has never been
able to gain Mrs. Langtry’s friendship.
It would be unfair to mention the name
of this person, although he plays one of
the prominent parts.

Edmund Kean’s Shylock. You have
only to mention the great Kean’s name
to see the god of Mr. Doel’s idolatry.
| His eye flashes, his face grows young
again, as he recalls the marvelous pow-
ers of that giant child of nature, whose
acting was so absolutely natural that
it seemed not acting at all.
Perhaps the greatest event of Mr.
Doel’s later years was his journey to
London, in 1895, to join in the festivities
at the Lyceum which celebrated the
ninetieth birthday of his fellow veteran,
Mrs. Keeley. Hale as he is, it is scarce-
ly likely that the old gentleman will at-
tempt the fatigue of any more long
journeys, but no one follows the theat-
rical events of the day more keenly,
and no one is prouder of the position
that actors enjoy at this end of the
century than the actor who, perhaps,
beyond all others is best able to appre-
ciate the difference between “then and
now.”
BOUND TO HAVE HIS SAY.
Mr. Malaprop, who is an actor when
he isn’t working, is known as the most
brutal and ferocious abuser of good
English ever known.
The way he can grab a word out and
fling it into a sentence where it doesn’t
belong has gained him quite a reputa-
tion.
Recently a party, including the actor
man, were talking of Leh Wager, and,
while not throwing the hammer, were
certainly not tossing bunches of violets
at the Democratic committee’s sergeant
at arms.
“The most deplorable thing about
Wager,” said one of the party, “is that
he has no tact.” »
This made Mr. Malaprop extremely
indignant, and he burst into the middle
of the conversation with more impetu-
osity than discretion.
“That’s all right,” he said warmly,
“but when he has got it he lets go of
it, see? There ain’t a man along the
alley that will spend it as freely as Len
when he’s got it. He burns it up.”
On another occasion he was dilating
upon his marvelous physical condition.
“I’m always fit,” he explained, “and
it’s because I take plenty of exercise. I
■walk up to the park and back every
day. I’m an infallible walker.”
