While tbe stay-at-homes of the two cities at
the head o( the Ohio were sweltering In the
awful heat of last week, their more fortunate
brothers and sisters at the seashore and
mountain resorts were Just comfortable. Great
was the rejolelne among the Pittsburg contin
gents at the outing places when they read of
tbe mercury being away up among the nine
ties at borne, that they vers so fortunate as to
get away in time. In the mountains tbe
weather was too cool at times, and Instead of
evening parties out of doors, dancing and cards
indoors were substituted. An old-fashioned
corn roast was a f eatnre of the week at Eureka
Springs. Tally-ho rides are still popular at
Bedford Sp'ings. The prominent people at
Beer Park are enjoying themselves immensely.
At the seashore resorts the usual pleasures are
being indulged In by an eTr-inereasing num
ber of visitors. At all tbe places, on snore or
mountain top, tbe Pittsburger is a prominent
figure.
INTELLECTUAL CHAUTAUQUA.
Some Bright Intellectual Lights Neglected
for a. Calclnsn Light Show.
rsrxcnx. telsquxx to thk dibpatch.1
Chautauqua, August 9. Three notable
figures have been here this week all men of
national reputation namely Robert J. Bur
dett, famous in papers and on tbe rostrum;
Dr. Buckley, the editor, and Thomas Went
worth Higgiuson, tbe well-known man of let
ters. In fact the platform for the week was of
a decided literary complexion. Yet literary,
cultured Chautauqua who bows alone to the
artistic has not given these men one-half the
audience that it gave a scenic panoramic sort
of a side show, illustrating Ben Hur by Gen
eral Wallace. They went fairly wild over this
spectacular production.
Mr. Higginson, unlike many of tbe literary
fraternity, thinks there is money to e made in
the field of literature, and said he had made a
living by it the last SO years. In personal ap
pearance be IS tall, broad-shouldered, of a
soldierly bearing, with a fine classic, handsome
countenance, snaaea uy a pair 01 neavy siae
whiskers, a high forehead, covered by a mass of
thick gray hair and a pair of eyes that sparkle
as be talks and glisten as you talk. With a
clear voice, an easy, deliberate extempore de
livery that measures every sentence be utters,
be enteitams and instructs with a flow of con
tinuous argument.
STAGS AS A BALL PLATES.
Baseball is claiming its share of attention
just at present. Stagg bas made a very fair
amateur nine out of the raw material which be
" bas gathered up about the grounds. He gets
lots of work out of bis mon. and brings forth
all tbe good points of each player by his gen
erxlfblu. As a player himself Stagg is not a
phenomenon. As a pitcher bis palmiest days
are long since past, and Harvard or Princeton
are no longer afraid of the ball he throws, but
rstber of bis wonderful engineering qualities
on the field. Rldgeway, who pitches for Yale
next year, has been twirling the sphere most of
the games.
One of tbe sights is the arrival of an excur
sion of about 800 peonle about midnight. Tbe
majority of them have no place to stay over
nignt, and have to floa places. AtSor 4 o'clock
in tbe morning tbe last tramp of feet is heard,
and the poor luckless mortals have been kindly
cared for by some fat boarding bouse mistress
and tucked away in some 3x4 room a 2x1 bed.
THE SUM1IEB GIEL.
Everyone knows that Chautauqua is a great
place for tbe feminine sex and woman is far in
the majority here. Many a woman's lovely
heart has gone ont in love for tbe first time
here and "matches" made at the Assembly
Grounds are very common. The beautiful
evenings, the groves with their great shade
trees, the rustio seats, tbe soft moonlight, all
offer an Inspiration and attraction.
In the distance beneath tbe spreading
shadows of tbe tree two figures; a black sash
encircling the girl's white dress a sash with
the white rim of a linen cuff and the Indistinct
formofabumanhand; the moonlight throws
down its generous beams; tbe stars bob back
and forth behind the clouds in merry flirtation;
Jupiter winks at Saturn and the story of a
Chautauqua love match is told.
ETEBYBOOY IS ACQUAINTED.
Chautauqua is a place of familiarity. Every
body knows everybody else, and even it be
doesn't he talks to everybody just the same.
.Everyone seems to take it for granted as soon
as be reaches the grounds that he is acquainted.
There is no formality whatever. People are
friends here who at home, because of being in
different strata of society, could not associate
at all. What a splendid opportunity does this
'know everybody' style offer to the sweet, fair
haired girl to get acquainted with the band
some student fellow with tbe black mustache,
who sits next her at the tablet
Never before bare there been such crowds
here. Upon the register of the Hotel Athen
aeum are the names of the following Pittsburg
er: Frederick McKee, Bertba C. McKee
and John A. Bell, Miss Josephine Rodgers,
Miss Patterson, S. W. McFarland, Bvrun King,
Mrs. M. W. King and child.
CAPE MAY IS CEOWDED.
More Hotels filnst be Bnllt Next Winter
Tbe Pittsburg Colony.
rsrXCTlX TZLXGXAX TO THB SISrATCB.1
Caps Mat, August 9. To-night begins tbe
gayest and most crowded week in tbe history
of Cape May. As oarly as Wednesday of this
week many hotels were turning away scores of
people, and yet all must have found a place to
sleep ana eat More hotels, in consequence of
the number of visitors anticipated next sum
mer, will be built this winter. There are IS
hotels lest at Cape May to-day than there were
ten years ago. because of the great fire of TS.
To be truthful about tbe matter, outside of
Its magnificent beacn. delightiul and healthy
climate, and unsurpassed sea bathing, Cape
May has not had any real attractions to draw
the people. Tbe usual Saturday evening ana
other bops afford a place for tbe belles and
beaux to pass time in pleasure. The euchre
party craze and tbe donkey party bablt is re
turning, although It has not been in vogue so
much as in summers past;
THE ELECTEIOAL SHABPS.
Tbe electrical convention, which meets here
Friday next, promises to be tbe largest for a
good while. Delegates will be present from all
over tbe country, and It is expected that about
1,800 will attend the convention in the Stock
ton. The proceedings will be confined to the
discussing of electrical appliances, and more
properly to tbe subject of illumination by elec
tricity. It is likely that a great deal of discus
sion will be devoted to the execution of the mur
derer Kemroler-
Now that the President and Mr. Blaine bave
left, the bustle at the Presidental college bas
somewhat subsided. Tbe reporters do not pull
the doorbell anymore and break tbe connec
tions. It, however, happens to be a push but-
ws, asa n worsen oy a Dattery, out, nevertoe-
Miliifel
less, it got out of gear very suddenly after the
arrival of tbe President and Mr. Blaine. The
family's members could cot go anywhere with
out a reporter or correspondent at their heels
trying to find out what tbe two officials wero
at. It is thonght tbe President will return
here when he comes from tbe G. A, R. encamp
ment at Boston, and that Mr. and Mrs. McKee,
who are in Boston now, will return with him.
Alter that the party go to Cresson to remain
the balance of the season. When Mrs. Har
rison goes to Cresson the cottage here will not
close, as it is to be occnpled by some members
of tbe family until late In September.
Mr. Blaine is delighted with Capo Mar, and
will pay another visit this summer. While
here be looked better than be did some eight
months ago.

GUESTS AT SEES PAEE.
All the Cottagers Hnvlnc a Good Time
Interesting; Bite of Gossip.
FROM private let
ters from Deer Park,
writes Miss Grundy,
Jr., to The Dis
patch, I learn that
Mrs. Secretary Rusk
has quite recovered
her health since she
went there. She took
a walk of two miles
up the znounUins
the other day and
came back as fresh
as a daisy. Mrs.
Governor Campbell
is one of the belles
of tbe summer. Mrs.
Robert P. Porter, the wife of the Census Com
missioner, is at the Oakland Hotel, about six
miles away. She bas her children with ber
and she frequently drives over to Deer Park.
Mrs. General McCook bas a cottage at Oak
land, and the General comes up every other
Sunday from Washington and spends a few
days in the mountains. The cottage is tbe
finest one in the village and it belongs to the
County Attorney. General McCook bas taken
it for the season, and it is his Intention to go
into tbe mountains to hunt after the Senate
adjourns.
The Stephen B. Elkins house is some distance
further up the road. It has been packed full
of visitors during the whole summer, and Mrs.
Elkins says she never knows how many people
she is going to bave at dinner or over night.
The bouse bas 99 rooms and she bas quite a
farm surrounding it. The Elkins cottage at
Deer Park is occucied tbls season by Washing
ton McLean, and I am sorry to learn that tbls
old stager is not in tbe best of healtb. He has
been ailing for a time and bas been under tbe
care of the doctor. Near his cottage is that
owned by tbe Garretts, and in the same settle
ment Is that of Mrs. Senator Henry G. Davis.
Tbe Garrett cottage is now occupied bv Mary
Garrett, and Mrs. Garrett left Deer Park a
short time ago.
BICHEST -WOMAN IS AMERICA.
"Mary Garrett Is perhaps the richest single
woman in tbe United States. Her father lett
her an equal share of bis fortune with the
other children, and among his bequests was this
Garrett cottage at Deer Park. She is worth
all the way from 115,000,000 npward, and she
irnnwfl as much about business as any man in
the country. She was for years before her
father died bis confidential secretary, and she
is said to bave Inherited the business ability of
ber father. She is a very well educated woman
and bas traveled widely. She is much inter
ested in education and she is one of the most
sensible and modest of the heiresses of the
United States.
"Henry G. Davis has made a fortune out of
DeerPark. He gottbe landfora song andl
understand that some of it is now being sold in
lots of GO feet front and 100 feet deep at 250 a
lot. He makes bay and cuts oats now on the
hills opposite the DeerPark Hotel, and starting
life asabrakeman be bas at last reached that
position where he is worth bis millions.
Speaking of Mrs. Davis, brings up a funny
Incident wbioh occurred at Washington just
before she left for Deer Park. Her husband,
you know, was in tbe Senate, and she is known
here as Mrs. Senator Davis. There Is. however,
another Mrs. Senator Davis here. I refer to
tbe famous beauty from Minneapolis, tbe wife
of CushmauK. Davis, the Senator from Minne
sota. Tbese two women are as different as the
poles. Mrs. Cash Davis Is a sort of Dl Vernon:
she is fond of society and ber bouse is the
rendezvous of tbe jolllest people ot the Capital.
Bhe overflows with animal life, never gets tired
and is always ready for any kind of tun. Mrs.
Henry G. Davis is more quiet. Bhe is, I jndge.
considerably older, and she does not look at all
like Mrs. CushmanK.
A 7REXCH BACHELOR'S MISTAKE.
The other day the bachelor French Minister,
Count de Roustan met the jolly Mrs. Davis,
and was asked to call. He promised to do so,
and did not let the grass grow under his feet.
He looked up the society directory as soon as he
got home, and the next day called at the honse
mentioned as that of Mrs. Senator Davis. His
card was taken In by the butler. He was
shown into the parlor, and a moment later a
stately lady came up, and holding out her
band, said: "Count Roustan, I believe,"
Out, madam," was the reply, "I called to
see Meeses Davis.
'I am Mrs. Davis." answered the ladv. and
the Count in astonishment replied. "Rut I
want to see Meeses Senator Davis.
"I am Mrs. Senator Davis," replied the lady.
Tbe French diplomat raised his band to bis
forehead. He did not know what to make of
it. He hemmed and hawed, and at last blurted
out. 'You may be Meeses Senator Davis,
madam, but you are not tbe Meeses Senator
Davis I want to see." He then bowed himself
awkwardly out, and again betook himself to
the study of the directory, wherein he found
that there were, indeed, two Mrs Senator
Davlses. He took the address of tile second,
and soon found himself In the presence of the
lady whom be sought.
AHTJC3 OP OLD SEfTUHX.
He Files Op Sand nt Ocenu Grove nnd Takes
It Away From Asbnry Pnrk.
rsntCIAL TELIQBAX TO TUB DISrATCU.1
Ocean Quote, August 9. Ocean Grove is
daily gaining tons of sand on her beach, while
Asbury Park and Long Branch are rapidly
wasting away. Although, of course, the good
people here do not attribute this work of Nep
tune's favoritism to their piety, the freedom of
the Ocean Grove beach from the encroach
ments ot tbe sea is to the landsman, at least,
'very remarkable.
Last week Founder James A. Bradley re
paired the damage to bis pavilions and beach
promenade, and held a "Neptune Jubilee." He
rejoiced too soon, however. Solid oak bulk
heads cannot resist the tremendous power of
the waves for many days. Already the board
walk is in imminent danger of being carried
away. Each incoming tide sends jets of water
up throngh the crevices in the walk and pavil
ions, tears up tbe heavy planking and roots ont
the immense piling. Tbe myriads of summer
visitors now here, regularly study the un
equal contest between the sea and bulwarks
at every high tide, and watch the spray
that dashes high above the electrlo light poles
along the beach.
It is now evident that the sand bar along this
part of tbe coast has been badly broken by the
recent storms. General John u. Patterson, a
veteran of tbe life-saving stations on the Jer
sey shore, says there is a bad break just
opposite the southern end of Asbnry Park.
This opening, he says, permits the waves to
dash unrestrained against the beach, and to
carry away, bv their return, the sand in enor
mous quantities, in moss cues, uom,
when the violent storms are over, tbe bar be
gins relorming. The only way to protect the
beach, in Geaeral Patterson's opinion, is by a
system of jetties and breakwaters. The erec
tion of bulkheads and other common protec
tions, he regards as unwise.
TO HEAB TALMAOB.
The largest congregation ever assembled
along tbe Atlantlo coast will hear the Rev. Dr.
Talmage preacb Sunday afternoon at the foot
ot Sunset Lake in Asbury Park. It will be an
open-air discourse. The speaker and peonle
will be sheltered from the sun by tbe great
roof which covers the riding schools and bicyle
tracks. There will be accommodations for
20,000 people, and. If not rainy, at 4 in the after
noon, there will be many thousands more pres
ent. Tbe service is arranged by tbe West
minster Presbyterian Churob, which is aiming
to do for Asbury Park visitors what Ocean
Grove Is doing for the masses on this part of
the beach. The Ocean Grove "beach meetings"
are beld on tbe sand at tbe foot of a beautiful
plaza called Ocean pathway. Here, each Sun
day evening sharp, at 6 o'clock, tbe people as
semble in astonishing numbers, take part in re
sponsive exercises and listen to noted clergy
men and laymen from all parts of tbe globe.
There is quite a stir in Ocean Grove circles
on account of the proceedings in the great
Summer Bible Class, conducted by the Rev.
Dr. Hanlon, a principal of one of the Metho
dist seminaries. This class has grown so rap
Idly that one of the largest buildings on the
campground is devoted to its use every Sun
day atternoon, Tbe members are chiefly su
perintendents, teachers and other Sunday
school workers from all parts of tbe country.
The average attendance is nearly 2,000. Tbe
proceedings are not such as a stranger would
expect to find in snch a representative assem
bly, and in a religious resort, far and away in
advance of any other in the world. Repartee,
mirth and jollity appear to be more thought of
than the subjects presented by the Berean
lession leaf. The appearance of a religions as
sembly convulsed with laughter, stamping the
floor and clapping hands, docs not favorably
Impress the stranger whose ideas of propriety
are well defined.
The twenty-first annual camp meeting begins
its ten-day session on Tuesday, August 19.
This is tbe meetlne which bas given Ocean
Grove its fame in religious circles.

At 8 o'clock the fleot ot 16 boats, gaily deco

pier, beaded by tbe band, to tbe inspiring
strains of which tbe boats sailed happily for

which tbe party landed at the park, where a
rousing log fire was In readiness to receive the
shapely ears of corn and the delicious "Jer

prepared In tbe aforesaid manner? Try it and
you will live longer. Dyspeptics ate as they
never ate before. Rheumatics ate and forgot
their Infirmities. Ail were happy, and reluct
antly turned homeward near the hour of mid.
night, TOrta u a success in every sense of the J

are pleasing souvenirs of thO party. The in
vitation was as follows:

Let's paddle us far up the stream
And, landing in the firelltnt rleara,
In Glnsv stvle our corn we'll roast
And pledge your health In gleeful toast
And then, when Time doth bid "To lioatP'
Adown tbe stream we'll gently float,
And songs we'll sing
Till echoes ring.
Come, give a merrie fare thee well.
Come, say good by to mournful Nell.
Driving here and around is excellent, and the
liveries are taxed to their utmost. Many fam
ilies have their private conveyances and man
age to keep them going continually.
Madam HInckler, of the Church of the
Ascension, Pittsburg, entertained the guests
at tbe Eureka Wednesday morning with some
vocal selections. She has a delightful, clear and
full mezzo soprano.
The children of the different hotels indulged
in a hay ride one day this week and. barring a
slight rain which overtook them, enjoyed them
selves hugely.
Old-fasnioned snorts are frequently indulged
in. A very exciting game of ball was indulged
in Thursday morning by picked nines. The
game was full of brilliant (?) plays, and was
very close, so close that at times the umpire
could hardly decide. The feature of the game
was tbe magnificent work of Miss Chambers

THE MEDIAL IS KLHO.
Fate of tbe Man Who Tried to Summer
Without Tipping; Anybody.
(SrZCIAL TZLZOBAX TO THB DISfATCtt.t
Loxo Branch, Au
gust 9, Did you ever try
to put in a week at a
summer resort without
"tipping?" 1 have been
watching with keen in
terest the put few days
the fate of a man who
declared to me on his
arrival here that he was
opposed to "tipping" on
principle, and that he expected to get along as
comfortably as any other guest. He stuck
out "on principle," as be called it, tor a week,
but he has at last given up the battle, and I
found bim this morning offering an extra dime
to a newsboy, who ran up to tbe hotel verandah
tosellhima2-cent New York newspaper for
10 cents.
His surrender was complete. The deferential
bow that he got from the bead waiter as he
walked into tbe dining room proved tbe com
plete victory ot that Individual over his antl
tipping guest, and theway the bell boys jumped
to brush him off every time he hove in sight
made it plainer still that a prize distribution
had taken place. The man's life had been
made miserable, and bis wife had been so an
noyed by petty devices to extort money that
she, too, had lost all enjoyment In her visit. A
quiet family talk led to capitulation, and a
magic wand could not bave worked a greater
change than has followed tbe appearance of
some of Uncle Sam's greenbacks.
I noticed that the boycott had begun the
second night of my friend's stay, wben be
tried to get a chair tor bis wife on tbe veran
dah, where most of the guests were seated
listening to the music. "I declare to goodness,
boss," said one ot the sable bellboys, "dar's
not a single chair to be bad. l'se looked all
over." The same darkey came out a few min
utes later dragging three chairs for a guest
who had quietly added a quarter to many that
had gone before. In tbe dining room the antl
tipping guest and-his family were put down in
a far-off corner where they were permitted to
enjoy the scent of the kitchen and tbe rattle of
dishes for 15 minutes or so before their meals
were served: and it was not the waiter's fault
tbat some proportion of each meal failed to
fall into his lap from tbe tray. The room at
tendance was even worse until the wife laid a
crisp dollar note on tbo bureau for tbe cham
bermaid, without letting her husband know;
but tbat small pittance only lessened the
troubles. It didn't end them.
WHAT TIPPING COSTS.
A week's tips properly distributed will just
about equal a board bill. I have been talking
with a number of the people down here on this
subject, andl find that the following figures
represent the average investment of a man who
is wise enough to realize that paying his board
bill by no means insures the personal comiort
of himself and family. Here is what can safely
be put down for "extras:"

What Is there more important In the diary of
a summer at the Branch than that your lavish
dressing has attracted the attention of tbe
crowd? Nine women out of ten whom you meet
here believe they have had full value for their
money if they succeed In this. The rivalry Is
keen, sometimes ridloulous and always expen
sive. While making my way through tbe
throng at tho West End corridor last night, I
beard a woman actually offering excuses to
anotber De cause she could not wait at home to
have more than 14 trunks packed for her stay
down here, though she intended to have several
additional ones sent up to Saratoga.
A CHICAGO HEROINE.
Chicago seems to be capturing everything
this year as well as the World's Fair. A
Chicago girl at tbe Howland is carrying every
thing before ber with the greatest ease. She
bas sailed into a trio of Philadelphia bachelors
summering at the same hotel, as if she were
going to capture all three hearts together. She
bad an experience the other day with two men
from New York young men are burdened
with the conviction that tbe whole feminine
world is at their mercy. She never misses a
morning plunge in tbe surf. The brothers
spent an entire evening in tbe early part of this
week in a vain effort to make her look upon
them, but finally made up their minds to wait
for the bathing hour in tbe morning. This
they did, and wben tbe girl jumped Into the
surf she noticed the two New Yorkers follow.
One of them made a clever dive that brought
bim to her side. As he came up he put bis arm
around her waist and, dripping wet as he was,
demanded a kiss as a reward.
Did she scream? Not a bit ot itl She just
opened ber band out flat and gave the fellow
a ringing slap in the face that was heard by
everyone on tbe beach and that sent the
offender tumbling over into tbe water. Then
she coolly took a "header" into a breaker, and
was yards away before either of the brothers
recovered from their surprise. They disap
peared from the Howland tbat atternoon and
are finding Saratoga a more congenial summer
ing place. . T-

THE SEASON' AT ITS HEIGHT.
Atlantic City Crowded With Visitors, Many
of Whom Hall From Pittsburg.
rsrXCIAI. TILIOHXM TO TBX DUPATOH.1
Atlantic City, August 9. It Is astonishing
how speedily one gets down to routine amuse
ment at tbo seashore, Philadelphia visitors are.
flighty in their movements, possibly attributable
to the fact tnat they don't linger so long at a
time, but come frequently. Tbe visitors from
Pittsburg, Washington, Baltimore and other
distant points in a few days behave as If "at
home." They bathe and sail regularly. Tho
honr ot breakfasting is 9 o'clock a. x and so
vigorous has been the exercise of tbe forenoon
that should dinner be called at noon tbe appetite
is keen, thouzh tbe nsual dinner hour is 1 to
3.30 P. if. The afternoon nap of an hour is in
dispensable and then follows a light tea; at
tendance upon half a dozen of tbe 25 bops and
concerts that occur nightly, and finally the hot
supper at one ot tbe principal cafes which bave
become so popular bere. No theatrical features
bave characterized this season as heretofore.
Managers have after practical and decidedly
unprofitable ventures, turned their eyes in
other directions. People do not want stage
amusement at the seashore. Even tbe dime
museum struck tents a tew days ago and while
tbe season is at its height.
Is the season at its height?
Irnly such is the case. One hundred and
twenty-five thousand people slept in this city
last Saturday and Sunday nights. There are
some who venture higher estimates. Many
noted men bave discovered one discomforting
'thing and that is that tbe average guest will
not "pack" this summer wben tbe rush comes.
An ordinary bed room 9x12 has been known to
accommodate for weeks in tbe height of the
season tour and six persons. It Is impossible
to impose upon them now. They argue tbat
the city is larger now and tbat there is no
necessity for crowding. Still, most of tbe pro
prietors realize tbat this Is harvest time and
they pluck right and left whenever a goose
turns up.
The season will continue at its present height
for three weeks more, possibly four. The
stream of arrivals are still largely in excess of
the departures. There were two excursions
from Pittsburg again this week.
On Tuesday evening an enjoyable and thor
oughly appreciated entertainment was given
in the parlors of tbe Mansion, Between 500
and 600 people, principally Plttsburz residents,
were present. Prof. Kirk organized and con
ducted the concert. A ereat hit was the
whistling of M. Allen, of Philadelphia. Mr.
a. sr. r.caer was accompanist.

The theatrical season of 1891-2 will begin
in Pittsburg at the Bijou Theater next
Thursday. Cleveland's minstrels have the
honor of opening the ball. The company is
a good one beyond a doubt. That can be
predicated from the names of the principal
members, which include Billy Sweatnam.
Billy Elce and Banks Winter. In addition
to the minstrels proper a troupe ot Japanese
acrobats will give a necessarily elevated en
tertainment Of course the manager of a minstrel com
pany does not figure as a part of his show's
attractions, but the individuality of Mr.
Cleveland is nevertheless a striking feature
of the organization. He stands at the head
of the minstrel business to-day. A teyt
years ago he had nothing; now he owns
and controls four big minstrel companies,
containing 220 people and representing an
investment of $150,000.
V
The Duquesne Theater it nroeressing
favorably and there is little doubt that it
will be opened October 6by theEmma Jueh
Opera Company. As at present arranged
the repertoire of the Emma Juch engage
ment will be "Carmen," "Trovatore," "The
Huguenots," "William Tell, "Mignon,"
"The Bohemian Girl" and "Faust," In
addition to the company of last season Mr.
Payne Clark, Carl Rosa's tenor for a num
ber of years, Mr. Otto Batjens, baritone,
from the principal opera houses of Berlin.
Mr. J. C. Myers, the well-known basso, and
Miss Oarlotta Macondo, soprano, has been
secured. The entire company will leave
New York in a few days to open the new
Metropolitan Theater, Denver. A train of
ten cars, including four for baggage, is
necessary for transportation.
V
The first of the long list of comic opera
productions booked for New Xork this fall
took place at Palmer's Theater on tbe Cth,
when "The Bed Hussar" enabled Marie
Tempest, the English actress, to score a very
decided hit. The next in order is Francis
Wilson and Company's big spectacular pro
duction of "The Merrv Monarch." which
will be presented at the Broadway Thetter
on August 18. It is said that Wilson Is
striving hard to give his new opera the
handsomest scenery and costumes ever used
in a light opera performance in this conn
try. His part is that of a king, and the
scenes are laid in India. Marie Jansen
will appear again as a reckless young fellow
whose occupation is that of a traveling
vender of perfumery. Laura Moore. Nettie
Lyiord, Charles Plnnkett, Gilbert Clayton,
Harry Macdonough and WilJet Seaman are
all said to have congenial parts. Aside
from tbe brilliant spectacular effects prom
ised, Wilson's new character will afford him
far greater opportunities than that in which
he appeared in ''The Oolab."
V
A marked copy of the New ToTk "World
containing an illustrated criticism of Mc
Kee Rankin's appearance in "The Canuck"
has reached this office. It is doubtful
whether a friend or. an enemy of McKee
Bsnkin is circulating tbe World' t criticism,
written by "Nym Crinkle." The talented
critic certainly says that "Jean Baptists Co
deaux, in Mr. McKee's hands, is a delight
ful transcript of greatness," but he also
says, " 'The Canuck' is the latest of the
'Homestead' school, and it shows a decline
in the school which mav be said to have
reached its zenith in the''Midnight Bell."
From the bulk or the criticisms on "The
Canuck" it would appear that the play does
not amount to much, but that Bankin'a
work partly redeems it The new plays
produced so far have not alarmed anybody
with their merits or originality.
V
There is considerable amusement on the
Atlantio at present going toward America.
Fanuy Davenport is on the Teutonic, with
Mr. Fanny Darenport and Sardon's latest
tragedy "Cleopatra." On the City of New
York are Ted Marks with the International
Vaudeville Company, consisting of Maud
D ranscom be ana 30 other artists or at verslhsa
talents, while the Arizona sailed to-day
with Paul Martinetti and his pantomime
company. They will play "Robert Ma
caire," "The Duel in the Snow" and "The
Night of the Ball." Martinetti bas been
accorded the place of the greatest living
pantomimist in England and France. He
will appear at tbe Grand Opera House in
the fall.

Still another American girl has made a
success on tbe London stage. She is Miss
Mona Cleary, who has sung with tbe Boston
Ideals and the fiostomans, but for tbe last
two years has been studying in Paris under
Strlglia. On her way back to America she
stopped in London, where D'Oyley Csrte

Cleary to sing the part of Qianetta, She
