probability, he Will arrive in Canada within month.
Having come so far, OF course he will not return
without visiting New York and Philadelphia The
journalists therefore expect to have good time and
the principal daes are already selecting their stan
OF correspondents to accompany the Prince on his
travels In the dearth OF all other topics he will be the
autumn sensation and will create a fashionable
panic only short Of that created by the Baron Rem
frew, nine years ago. 1t is the intention Of the
newspapers here to lionze him considerable Some
thing OF this Kind is needed 1t has been long time
since Gotham has enjoyed good, wholesome social
stir-about German barons and Italian counts are
played out. They amount to just nothing at all The
season is not very distant when they would have
''drawn" well but now 1t requires good, heavy solid
title to take with us. AS Sir Charles Codstream
discovered in regard to Mount Vesuvius, we long
ago came TO the conclusion that there was "nothing
i'm It." The dose needs to be indefinitely increased
now, before it will produce the desired effect Prince
Arthur, therefore, will be a revivng shock to all
upon whom titled foreign celebrities begin to plll

then will be the time.
By-the-by, am sorry to hear bad accounts of this
same City of Paris A gentleman who was a passen
ger, on il during its last trip gives anything but a
6attering account of its captain and crew. its an
pOintments and table. lie describes the captain as
being very far from the sort OF man calculated to
win the confidence Of passengers, and, Of course
the crew and the attendants take their tone from
him. The stPerage passengers are particularly vio
lent, declaring their treatment to have been little
better than that of so many dogs. They were not
indeed, regaed with any enormities similar to those
perpeTated upon the unhappy passengers on board
the James Foster, Jr, but they not treated as
passengers should be treated; and even the occu-
pants of the cabins are loud in their complaints Of
roughness and discourtesy. People go to Europe for
pleasure nowadays more than anything else, not to

the whims of a vessels commander 1t will hardly
do to try such game, though, indiscriminately on
the party that set sail on Saturday. Among them
are the Harvard four, who go out to compete with
the champion oarsmen Of oxford. These fouf are
some of the 1nest-ooking young fellows that the
United States can produce, with muscles setting out
like the gnared knots on the trunk a tree. They
are all Rechabites, sworn not to taste or handle the
uncean thing--hquor. The half-COok, half-dOctor,
who goes with them, eyes them like a lynx and
seems almost afraid to trust one Of them out of his
sight. DO you think the Havard four will be per-
nlitted to win? l know not. They were loudly
cheered the City of Paris shot out from the pier;
but of their friends expect they will be allowed
to do anything the other side of the water except

Miss Lizzie Price, so long connected with the
Arch Street Theatre Of your city has gone and got
married-happily, ! trust and believe-and is now
Mrs. William White. She has been playing with
very fair success at Waacks in the dramatZatiOn
OF ''Dora." Miss Price is excellent example of
what educated mediOcrity can accomplish. Without
particle Of talent, she has succeeded in achieving
q good position in the theatrical world and can be
very agreeable in genteel comedy. Years ago.
when she held very inferior position at the old
Walnut Street Theatre she gave no promise of ever
becoming leading lady. Her progress, however
has been very gradual but very sure and during the
summer season she has been the principal actress at

has caught from Mrs. John Drew whose theatre in
is of the best schools for any young
actor to get rid of his crudties in Two Philadel-
pha actresses, Miss EfIie Germon and Miss Lizzie
Price have become New York favOrites within the
past year; and indeed, in both theatrcals and
newspaperdom Philadelphia is impnging upon New
York.

In spite of the enhanced attractions OF Central
Park for the working classes due to the recent
introduction of the cheap order OF carriages there is
one great drawback which has prevented its being
much more OF a success this summer than it was
last This drawback is the absence Of shade. That
Central Park is a surprisingly beautiful resort we all
been told so several thousands of
times in various handbooks, pamphlets, newspapers,
and magazines. But no one wants to be burnt up
whilst enjoying the beauties of nature, however
warm his admiration may be. And yet if you walk
or ride much in the Park these hot days you
