Aiter-Tboaghta About Oaker Hall's
Debut.'
New York Correspondence of the Phila-
' delphia Times.
The debut of Mr. A. Oakey Hall
upon the stage is still somewhat the
talk of the town. Despite the flatter- j
inir notices which tbe ex-Mavor re-, I
ceived in Sunday's papers, the fact of
his having made a dismal failure was
pretty ' generally understood, 1 and
when the' Tribune appeared with a
column and a half of sorrowful rheto
ric in Wm. Winter's best style, there
was a general expression of concord
in the critical judgment. Not that
the public would not like to see May
or Hall succeed in bis new venture.
They would. He is, and always
has been," a great favorite, and
whether be is making a post-prandial
speech at the Manhattan Club, wine
gla.sn in hand, or drinking beer with
the Bohemians, in a Broadway cellar,
he is always tbe suave, polite bril
liant, warm-hearted gentleman. But
he U not an actor, and never will
make one. He is associated with Mr.
iSuiurt in the management of the Park
Theatre, and we would suggest to
him as a brilliant initial bit of mana
gerial diplomacy to take tbe 'Crucible'
off the boards. If he does not it will
melt away : whatever money he has
managed to accumulate.

WILMINGTON, N.
IdOBB BOBBERT,
A Blaa's Own House No Longer to be
Connldered Ilia Castle More Worlt
by tbe Night Prowlers ud Depre
dators. - ' ' - vZi-is
The thieves, we observe, continue their
nightly depredations, . and precautionary.
measures on the part of the public seem to
be set at defiance by them. '
The residence of . Mr. James H. , phad-
bourn, on the east side of Third, between
J)ock and Orange streets, was entered by
one of them, yesterday morning, shortly
after 3 o'clock. It appears that the opera
tor in this instance, who seems to have been
provided with the necessary tools., as well
as being an expert in the business, first
effected an entrance through a window
opening on the verandah on the south side
of the house. To get in he had first to undo
the fastenings of the blinds, which could
only have been done with some instrument
prepared especially for the purpose', after
which the spring-catch to tbe sash was re
moved by similar means and the fellow
was in the room. Here, however, an un
expected difficulty presented itself. The
door leading into the passage in which the
stairway is located was locked, and on the
second floor where the sleeping apartments
are situated was where the thief expected
principally to operate. He thereupon with
drew from the room, which seems to have
contained nothing that he could use to ad
vantage without running the risk of being
detected, and repaired to the lower piazza,
in the rear of the house, where he
went to work as in the first instance and
soon found himself in the main parlor,
where he lit the gas and made the discovery
that he was again foiled in his attempt to
reach the passage, the door leading to which
was locked as in the case of the room first
visited. Letting himself but again, but
leaving the gas burning,-in which condition
it was fouad by the family upon rising yes-
terdav morninc be next nrrvppriprl to i
climb into the upper piazza, from which he
let himself into an unoccupied room, when
he had free access to all parts of tbe house.
The window through which he this time
entered was a large one, reaching to the
floor, and in addition to the spring-catch,
with which all tbe windows are provided,
it was secured by a stick in such a manner
as to prevent tbe lower sash from being
shoved upward or the upper one being
shoved downward. The thief managed,
however, after opening tbe blivds, to not
only remove the catch impediment, but also
to push aside the stick so as to allow the
upper sash to be pushed downward, whan
he proceeded to climb .through. He then
went into the room occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Chadbourn, 'from whence he re
moved the clothing of the two to
the unoccupied - room, where the pockets
discovery of the presence of the thief
was made afterwards by Mrs. C. Over a
bureau in the room, a gas jet which is usu
ally kept burning all night cast a pale light
upon the slab, over -which; being aroused
from sleep, she suddenly saw a black hand
pass. She instantly awoke Mr. C, who
sprang over the foot-board and gave chase
to the thief! who. as he ran ' from the bed
room across the passage and into the room
by which he had entered, knocked 'several
chairs down, over which he tumbled, and
which proved a serious impediment to the)
progress of the pursuer. The thief finally
reached tbe window about five feet in ad
vance of Mr. C, springing through the
aperture, but breaking with his knees some
of the glass in the lower sash in his pro
gress, thence making his escape by rapidly
sliding down from the piazza.
The only articles missed were a fine shirt,
containing gold studs, a knife taken from
Mr. C.'s pocket, and a handsome perfume '
case taken from the bureau, especially
valuable from having been a present to Mrs.
C. by an esteemed friend.
The thief is described by. Mr.' C as being,
somewhat low and squatty in stature, as
black as nigbt and with hair cut close tp .
the head. He had on no shoes or hat when
discovered in the room.
Stole a Booster.
A "colored youth by the name of Josiah
Clark stole a fine rooster from the premises
of a lady in the vicinity of Mulberry and
Fifth streets, yesterday morning. A col
ored man, acquainted on the premises, saw
Clark with the. rooster, suspected; it had
been stolen and nabbed the felloV, Who
said he had been sent by a colored woman
to watch the rooster. It was then agreed
that the woman should be consulted about
the matter, but after walking nearly all over
towD, duriDg which time Clark made two
or three attempts to escape, they finally ar
rived near the residence of Officer Lewis
Gordon, who was off duty and at home,
and into whose custody the youngster was
delivered, when he was taken to tbe Guard
House and locked up to await a hearing
before the City Court. , For tricks that are
dark, this same Josiah Clark. seems to be
very peculiar, and when he can't steal a
turkey be even contenteth himself with a
rooster ! " - -

A Suggestion.
While witnessing the rifle match at the
Athletic Grounds, Thanksgiving Day, we.
noticed that as the shooting progressed the
interest slackened: among the spectators
who were overlooking the targets from the I
race coarse above, and finally the ladies all 1
withdrew to the pavillion to await mora ex
citing sports, while a number of gentlemen
left the grounds and went home' feeling
that the shooting1 was a bore to every one '
except those who could participate. :
, Tbe reason for this dissatisfaction was
not far to seek, for the spectators could not
see who was making the crack shots whose
marks they saw on the target, nor learn
what they counted -toward the prize; hence
no-tally -could be kept and., the. movements
on tbe range seemed meaningless and
drearily monotonous to the observer on
the hill "We have noticed that all the
pleasure in every race, -match andr game it
has ever been our fortune to witness seemed
to be derived fronVthe interest attaching to
the permma of those contestants we knew
Take that away and we have 00 patience
to watch the affair,;. And so we judge it to
be with others.
Now we suggest that the name of each
contestant, as he takes his place to shoot,
could be displayed before the crowd. on the
bill y ;, simply inscriblnir the names of all
the contestants in large characters upon a
strip of cloth attachedjoa roller revolved
in a box. At one end pf the roller a ratchet
wheel with spring clip engaging the teeth
successively, would be placed, and a cord
wound on the circumference of the rollef
and attached to a weight, would : give mo
mentary motion thereto, and thus change
the name presented, whenever a wire run
ning from tbe clip to tbe marksmen's stand
should be pulled. The result ot. each shot
could be announced by the marker, side
"by side with the name of the marksman, by
the same means. Numerous other methods
of accomplishing the same object by means
equally as simple will readily occur to any
one.
The thing could be much .more lead'Uy,
certainly and easily accomplished, 'and the
announcement could be made instanta
neously at several points on the grounds, or
for that matter ia any part of the city pr
tbe order Of firing could be altered in case
of the absence of any contestant when Cff
ed to shoot, and : his name afterwards in
troduced at any time without inconven
ience, by tbe employment of the automatic
signal telegraph instrument (about to be in
troduced in our midst by Mr. L. A.' Angel
in case he meets with sufficient encourage
ment). With this instrument the Marshal
would also be enabled to call gamesand
make announcments and requests in various
parts of the grounds, or persons who go to
the grounds for an afternoon's enjoyment,
any day, could communicate with their
business offices in the city or have mes
sengers dispatched to carry them any arti
cles needed.
Much the same remarks will apply to the
Fair Grounds' exhibitions and the' instru
ment would also prove useful at the ceme
tery, &c. These suggestions we throw
out merely as such. In judging of the de
gree of annoyance which other spectators
experience from inability to iollow tbe
shooting), etc., we have to judge from our
own feelings at tbe time and are liable to
overestimate, but if those who manage on
such occasions consider the matter- of im
portance, we shall be glad if they are able
to make use of anything we have said to
promote the interest and general enjoy
ment of their games on Ne w . Year's Day or
thereafter.
