THE opening OF the theatrical season
In New York, on Monday last, was
marked by an event from which it was
feared that trouble might arise of a riot
Gus and disOrderly character. The ap-
peRrsnce Of Mr.. Barry Sullivan at
B Joth's in Hamlet was offset by that OF
Mr.. Z. l.. Davenport in the same char
acter at the Grand OleranOUse. The
contrast, it was suggested, was made on
patriotic grounds, and with a view to
rebuke the hankerirg after English
actors, which l. 3 besetting sin of New
York mansgeTs and psopie. But this,
while good purpose in itself, vas made
apparent at very mat GprOpOS time,
and We think Davenport and his man
ayers made manifestation that me rited
rebuke rather than support. Mr.. Daven-
port, as the APPEAL said when he
appeared last at our Theater, is a schoI-
arly and pRinstakiDg artist, cOnscien-
ti0us and studious, ranking deservedly
high; but he Is not the equal OF Barry
Sullivan, whose tTiunphs are cock
iensive with the EBglish.speSking colo
nies and countries of the world. The
contrast, therefore, could not be other
wise than painful, and the result any
thing but complimentary. The contrast
is not instituted by the New York papers
OF Tuesday, but it is easy to see, from
the little that is said OF Davenport and
the extended criticisms upon Sullivan,
that the former was subordinated in the
public mind, which, aside from the cc'Gt
attendant upon a military torchlight
display, was fixed upon the great
artist who fifteen years ago electTi-
fled every audience in the United
States before whom he appeared.
The New York Tribune says Of his per-
form8nce OF Hamlet" Monday night,
that sit is a very remarkable work Of
art. In execution-aside from few
msnuerisms that ssvOT OF mummery
and staginess-itise extraordinarily clear,
strong, precise, and spontaneous. In
reading it is exceedingly beautiful"
The Herald supplements this verdict by
the confession that while "it requires
some effort TO recognize in the actor the
ideal Hamlet with which the public
mind has been filled, at the same time
we cannot help being struck with the
purely intellectual character of the i'm
persOnation. Notwithstanding the per-
sonal disad vsntages under which he la
bors, Mr.. SullivsE, by the aid Of his ed
mirable art, presents Us a thoroughly
thoughtful and intellectual Hamlet
At every point the impeIsJnation
bears the impress Of intelligent
study" The World agrees with both
cotemporaries, and says: "It was in
deed Hamlet Of the intellect, finished
and perfected with care and study, but
singulsrly deficient in those CLEANS of
unfOrmulated power which move Us in
spite OF ourselves" The Times and
Sun both agree in a judgment wholly
adverse TO the claims and position Of
Sullivan, but as neither OF them GIe
authorities in theatrical or musical mat
ters, their say.sO will pass for what il is
worth. New York has its sensation for
the season, and We may reasonably lOL k
for a battle Of the critics.

Heavy storm i'm Minneso,a.

ST. PAUL, MINI, September l.
Since Saturday night, until this evening,
the telegraph lines have been Frustrated
by heavy storms, and have been unable
to work. Crop prospects are very unfs-
vOTable. There has been a succession of
driving and soaking rain-storms since
Monday, which have done immense
damage to crops OF all kinds. Wheat in
stack and shock is found to be sprout-
ing in numerous instances, and grain
dealers well informed estimate the
damage fully at fifteen per cent. of the
whole crop Of the State. A long period
Of drying weather is necessary to save
the grain crops OF this State from fear
ful disaster. Tonight the prospect is
more favorable, as the weather appears
to be clearing off. If no further drench-
ings occur, and if drying weather con-
tiuues, the loss by the previous rains and
muggy atmosphere will not probably
average over ten per cent, which is
equal to loss Of more than three mil.
lion bushels Of grain, The grasshoppers
in no one year have ever done as much
actual damage to crops as the furious
rsin-storms Of the last few days have
accomplished.
