they started into the Latin grammar as you are now, but they missed their calling and lost their grip on the world. Lucky will it be for you, Lysander, if, after you have taken the regulation amount of Latin and Greek and mathematics into your system, and received a diploma, which you probably won't be able to translate in two years after you leave college, if you find your opportunity and grab it before it is gone by. Opportunity comes, we think, to most men some time. The difference between men is that one man does not know an opportunity when he sees it in the middle of the road, while another man has the nerve and presence of mind to take a quick, firm hold on tail of the first opportunity that comes his way and is yanked by it along the highway of prosperity.

"THE DERBY WINNER."
The Derby Winner, the celebrated racing and comedy drama, will be seen for the first time in this city Monday night, September 23, at the opera house. This great production is from the brilliant pen of Alfred H. Spink, editor of the Sporting News, and builder and manager of the South Side Electric Light Track, the only one in the world. The play shows the different scenes, characters and incidents of life on the race track, and its plot is founded on a true love story. It is the greatest comedy of its character ever produced and made the biggest kind of a hit in its triumphant tour throughout America last season. It was the State Fair attraction at St. Paul and Minneapolis and Omaha, and has the best week of the year at Kansas City, Priests of Pallas week. The Derby Winner is full of high comedy, its specialties are all new, its music bright and catchy, and its action, situations and climaxes of a decidedly interesting and exciting character. It has one of the best companies in America,
including in its ranks such well known artists as Eddie Giguere, the famous little comedian with two voices; Arthur Kherns, the Dutch comedian; Dora Cole; Eunice Ramsey; Frank McDonald; Frederic O'Monde; Billy Eldridge, the best colored actor on the stage; and the bright little soubrette, Viola Arthur, who can ride a bull or a race horse. She is the best lady jockey living. The Derby Winner is the only play having its own race horses. They are owned by Al Spink, and are Old Freeland, La Cigale, Anawan, Flossie, Pat King and All Ablaze. These horses take part in the stable scene and the Derby Day race.

put Sinbad through a course of rebeautifying until the piece is positively dazzling, and from the rise of the curtain to the last transformation scene entirely new stage effects have been supplied, new ballets introduced, and new music selected and composed. The dresses, over 100 in
number, are entirely new in every design The principal scenes of the four acts are well
