(\ \ HE methods of our modern journalism were recently re- inforced in a beautiful way by the New York Herald, which surrepti- tiously obtained a copy of the evi- dence given before the special com- mittee appointed by the New York Yacht Club to take action upon the statement made by Lord Dunraven covering the America Cup races. The committee, commenting upon the Herald's great ‘* beat,” con- cludes: “The publication under the well- known circumstances is a disgrace to the journal that made it, and the committee believes that this view can scarcely fail to be that of every respectable member of the com- munity, conscious of the existence of an evil of which this is one of the worst instances.” No doubt every respectable mem- ber of the community does feel this way, but what has a paltry question , of honor to do with it when there is a chance to steal a march on the rest of the gang? \ \) EASILY ARRANGED.

MoM” E, BERNHARDT has actually condescended to surrounding her genius witha proper stage setting. ‘‘Izeyl” is really handsomely mounted and Madame Sarah's acting does not suffer from the improvement. The play itself is a strange composition, East Indian in character and introducing the Magdelene.of Christianity into that atmosphere. In /zey/, the repentant but very human woman, Mme, Bernhardt finds a most congenial role and embodies the character with the charm which is her unique possession. A certain fair compatriot of hers has lately in the public prints raised the question of Mme. Sarah's age, but so far as /zey/ goes the answer is convincing. Mme. Sarah has . no age—she is an artist endowed with art's perennial youth. Metcalfe. BUYING A SCALPER'S TICKET. comicbooks.com
