them in the fight new leaders will be found TO
DO so. IL is not DOW q time for men TO ask
each other what they thought in 1850, or did in
1910; the question is, where do you stand in
1850 on the great and rising issue Of the day!

The performances OF this week are announced
to be the last of the season at both the AGA.
deny and Winter Garden. This is to be re-.
GREETED, seeing that the continued GOODNESS of
the weather will prevent people leaving town
as early as usual Another fortnight could,
we think, he prodtably spent here by both
troupes, OF st all events by one OF them. With
such attractions as Patti, Gszzaniga. Briguoii
and Susini at the one house, and Frezzolini,
Fsbbri, Euani and Miraodoia at the other
aided by weather which must act az an effec
mai damper on the rural loDeiDgs OF our city
fashiopables, we see no reason why our Opera
managers should be In such hurry to bring
,he season to close. They are doing good
business, notwithstanding II is divided, and
would do better for two or three weeks to
come if they bad only patience to bide their
chances like other folks.
1t seems not 70 have occurred to our astute
impaesaFii that there are circumstances outside
their regular calculations which might be just
now turned to most profitable account
In another week THE city will be more ,hropged
si,h strangers than it has ever before been AZ
his season OF the year Great As has been the
sensation ere ated by the arrival of the Japanese
princes at Washington, it is nothing compared
20 the excitement that will be created by their
visit to New York. Washington lie at the bet
Of ZINES but dull place, and most OF the
country people who would be attracted there
ny their desire TO see the Japanese, were their
visit limited to that city, Will defer the gradd
cation Of their curiosity until the arrival of tn.
Embassy here. BY waiting tor this event thes
can kill two birds with one stone. They viii
see the metropolis at the season of the year
when IL Is best worth seeing, more particularly
since the Central Park has been ADDED 70 its at
fractions, and they will have an opportunity OF
following UP the movements of our japanese
visiters during the most interesting and
exciting period of their stay ia this coun-
try. There is nothing in Washingtoa
to particularly Impress these strangers,
the Capitol perhaps excepted. The White
House Is very plain affair, and the simple
aud unoste ntstious habits and encourage of the
President must give them very poor idea Of
the wealth and importance OF the nation which
they have honored with their first diplomatic
visit
II ia from New York that the Embassy will
derive their most vivid aud lasting Impressions
in connection with this country. Its noble
harbor, is forests Of shipping, Its magnificent
streets and avenues its psatial stores, surpass-
ing lis private mansions In costumes and ele-
gance, it's outlying suburbs, forming distinct
ci,iesin themselves, and It's unequailed faciti-
ties Of land and water access, will all strike
them with amazement and pleasure. What
| countless subjects for the pencils Of their
artists, what endless themes for their historic
grsphers and poets. Here, Ia reality, viii be
| sketcted and delinea,ed the life Of the great
| American nation for the Instruction and amuse-
meut Of the Nippon masses. Ali the jotsings
that have preceded this chapter Of the records
Of the Embassy will fade in importance before
the wonders Of is metropolitan experience.
OF all the sigh.s and scenes that can be pre-
sented to our visiters, there is nothing 90 calcu
lated 10 astonish and delight them ~ an ope-
ratio representation. 1t would be curious to
| witness their emotions on first visit 10 the
Academy Of Music Nothing has as yet probs-
| bly, occurred to them of the character OF such
entertainments. They would be at once the
most novel and the most sense eathrslling Of
all the spectscles presented to them by this new
world Of wonders
How Is II that with such prospects before
them the usually shrewd Uilman and the enter
prising Msretzek strike their flags thus early
and abandon the field, when the most profitable
period of the campaign IL at hsnds There
never will be again such chance for managers
| to make money. The curiosity TO see these won.
derful strsngers viii be 80 greet that the bare
announcement Of their appearance at the Opera
would be sufficient TO engage all the places q
week beforehand. That they would not con-
tent themselves with solitary visit 10 this
elysium of sweet sounds and fairy illusions ID
certain. During the period Of their stay they
would Wait the two houses at least half do
zen times What harvest for managers, hav-
ing such CULTS TO bury their money In. The
prospect TO our mind holds out far greater In

villages 81. Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania
