ONE FULL WEEK
A Great Attraction is Under
Consideration by Man
ager Horne.
HEXT SMR BOOKINGS.
A Magnificent List of Attractions
With More to Follow—What
Has Been Secured.
The biggest thing ever brought to
Georgia in the operatic line is under con
sideration by Mr. Henry Horne, manager
of ‘.he Academy of Music.
He : s now in correspondence with the
proper parties in New York with a view
■to securing the Bostonians for a week’s
engagement in Macon.
Os course the guarantee required by the
company for such an engagement must be
very large, but it is reasonable to sup
pose that a sufficient number of season
tickets could be sold to cover this guar
antee.
On an occasion like this it would, of
course, be necessary to interest the peo
ple not only of Macon, but of surrounding
towns. It will be a great Middle Georgia
Musical festival, and the great reputation
and popularity of the organization is sure
to secure a large patronage.
HOGAN’S ALLEY
Gilmore and Leonard’s “Hogan’s Alley"
company, a farce comedy in three acts
and 150 laughs, will be the attraction at
the Academy of Music on Monday, Feb
ruary 7th.
"Hogan’s Alley” was constructed espe
cially for the fun losing public, its plot
being only to please, there being not a
dry moment during its action, and fun
reigns supreme from the rising to the
falling of the curtain. Each character
being represented truthfully and not over
drawn.
The New York World has spoken of it
as being a comedy that has never yet been
equalled, and the “Yellow Kid” plays
many important pranks, which keeps the
audience in the best of humor—all the
music songs and dances being the very
latest, and very catchy and those desirous
of spending a pleasant evening should not
fail to attend.
“A CONTENTED WOMAN.”
Mr. Hoyt has always furnished to the
stage wit, beauty and brightness, but he
never furnished so much at once before
as can be found in “A Contented Woman”
which is one of the great bouquet culled
from all that is prettiest in the Hoyt
flower garden. It is a performance upon
which the dramatist, the composer, the
costumer, the scenic artist, the mechanic
and electrician have bestowed their high
est talent, and for which Dame Nature
has picked her handsomest women. It is
the climax in a series of Hoyt successes,
which have climbed higher and higher
until it would seem money and brains had
reached their final end.
The engagement is for Friday night of
the coming week.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4 1898.
CORBETT RETIRES.
Former Champion Announces
That He is Done With
Fighting Forever.
HOTI HIMSELE TO ACTING.
At Least He Says So-He Thinks He
Will Become a Great Actor.
Official Announcement.
James J. Cobett has retired from the i
ring.
He has given up all hope of getting a
fight out of Fitzsimmons, so quits prize- ‘
fighting in disgust.
James J. -Corbett's letter announcing his ■
retirement from the ring was written at I
the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago Sunday ;
afternoon. it is as follows:
“Chicago, Jan. 30, 1898.
“To the Public:
"1 desire to announce my retirement |
from the ring. In making this announce- i
meat 1 do so in the belief that the ring
has nothing to offer me in the future, and |
that Robert Fitzsimmons in refusing my 1
propositions for a fight is not oniy doing ic |
in the face of puolic opinion, but also ■
seeking to avoid a contest about which he i
is doumiul as to the result.
"As the public well knows, my offers to j
him have been sincere, and the fact »hat
he has been pleased to call them ‘bluffs,’
but lacked the courage to ‘call’ them, in
dicates too fully his positien in the mat
ter. Failing by every possible means to
secure his attention for another contestl
have done everything consistent to ring
usages—l do not see wherein the con
troversy should be prolonged. On the oth
er hand, 1 see a bright future on the stage,
and am advised by those who should knew,
that I have the talent and perseverance
necessary to become a great actor.
"It is my desire to succeed in this pro
fession, and in order to see what pro
gress I can make, 1 have purposely omit
ted boxing from my new play. If the pub
lic will give me its sympathy I hope some
day to become the leading actor in popu
lar meJodrama. Os the ring I shall have
nothiag further to say. My choice was to
tight Fitzsimmons. That being denied, 1
retire to devote my whole attention and
time to histrionic are.
“Yours t. uly, James J. Corbett.”
UOKBiETT’S NEW PLAY.
Peoria, 111., Feb. 4. —Corbett has on his
new play, "The Adventurer.” There is a
connection between the iplay and Corbett’s
retirement, and it will surprise mhny to
learn that the boxing feature, which has
always been considered necessary in plays 1
where the actor-boxer sustains the prtn- ;
cipal role, has been eliminated in the new ,
production.
The nearest approach to sparring is in I
the last act, where the hero has a deadly |
hand-to-hand encounter similar to that in (
“The Naval Cadet,” but much fiercer, the I
climax being in Henry Guy Carlton’s best ,
vein and drawn by the author of the play |
from a real scene which he witnessed.
Another reason for Corbett's retirement ;
from the ring is his sincere belief that
with a year or two more of training and
study he will become the leading actor in
this country in popular melodrama.
