He repeated his previous victories In: 1809 with the. Columbia when Sir Thomas Llpton. brought over his Sham rock I. to make bis first try at lifting the cup. ; " Mr. lselin has been an enthusiastic yachtsman since his boyhood days, and nearly, all the members of his family are identified in some way with yacbt lngi J tt Is no exaggeration to sny that tbeLlstilins are the greatest family of YtichtWhen in America. ' It isaid by Kfr. lelin' (riends that he' has aiver put inneii money Jn the big racing yachts which have defended the cup, but has matched his ski!; against the capital of, others. His fa ther, however, put $20,000 In the-De: fender, which defeated Valkyrie III. and was broken up for junk a year or two ago. Cup yachts are of little val ue after they have performed their glo rious mission. .The old time boatmen of New Ro-chelle,- Mr. Iselin's home town, who were bis early tutors and claim the honor of having taught him the rudi ments of sailing, are sure the Reliance will win. What C. Oliver lselin and bis sailing master. Captain Charley Barr, don't know about handling a boat, these old salts say, can never be learned .by any one either in this coun try or on the other side of the ocean. Captain Charles Barr, skipper of the Reliance, is a Scotchman "by birth, but swore allegiance to Uncle Sam a num ber of years ago, "few skippers have bad such wide experience in craft of all kinds. In 1893 he commanded tb Navahoe, owned by Royal Phelps Car roll. Next he wa engaged by George Gould to brlng back the Vigilant from England. He had charge of her dur ing her trials with Defender lri the preparatory, races of 1895 and put up the best possible fight, developing ev ery Inch of speed that was in her. Captain Barr has a clean and honor able record. He can Inspire enthusiasm mmmmmmmmmm ' ) U '.'!'. 'J I ,n i.ilu.ii . I, L . m.ii i j.il .. r i i v CAPTAIN BOBEBT WBINOB. -':.

", Shamrock III. was de signed, by William; Fire and built in Dumbarton, Scotland. In her prelim inary races she has sbowu remarkable speed, and ;Sir Themas !and his skip per.

While few if any orL this side of the AWantic look for the success of Sir Thomas, so good an authority as Cap tain Hank Haff predicts that the eouv ing. contests will be the closest ever sailed for the historic cup. , Should Shamrock III. win the result would not be- aitocether' !: -lensing toi:mny loyal Ai'-'Tioans . an 1 espe:l;il!y to ?;-i-rt. i-n. vLo i:U-j to g. e t'.e rf l-n"'-' :' t 'i '" ' s' ! :i- 1 t' n ('i V. e 21 A THEATRICAL NAPOLEON.: ''-., ' , i,. -y.jSi 'V 'f-i : tbarlcs Frtknta, tk Warld's Grt t EBtlrr of Aetor.' L Charles Frohman, the Napoleon of the theatrical world, who recently re turned from Europe with a trunk full of new pbys, is beyond a doubf the .greatest living manager of stage folk. He either controls absolutely or strong figure-; in the maungement 'of nearly a dozen theaters in Greater New YorV and bears the sum relation to several of the- leading playhouses of 4 London, s He Is one of the principal figures in the so called theatrical trust, which douilnutes nearly all the leading actors and thvuters of America. He employs nearly a thousand actors and managers on both sides of the Atlantic, and' the annual receipts from but al most Innumerable enterprises amount to millions of dollars. - T' Mr. Frohman is somewhat peculiar In bis views, as, indeed, he also is in per sonal appearance. He Is probably- not more than five feet In height, and is so stout that his walk almost resembles a waddle. He has an aversion to being photographed, and it is related that be has never faced a camera. v : :f", , Nowadays it is a very difficult mat ter to get, into the presence of M. Frohman: This is not, however, be cause of any "uppishness" on his part, but because Of the fact that If he were to grant audiences to 10 per cent of the persons who ask for them be would have no time left for his va'st and multifarious business enterprises. k Mr. Frohman as a youth worked In the business department of the old New York Dally Graphic, a portion of his duties consisting of handing papers to the newsboys from a cellar opening. His first theatrical experience, was as advance man of Haverly's minstrels. Later" he got, hold of Bronson How ard's "Shenandoah," when the wise acres regarded that piece as a poor In vestment. Frohman made a fortune with it, and the author Is said to have received more than flOO.000 in royal ties. Since the "Shendandoah" days Charles Frohman has been "on Easy street" Mr. Frohman is not yet fifty years of age. TURNED DQWN A PASS.
