STAGE REWARDS"

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD-
Your informant has been misled in regard to sew
eral of the statements made in your issue of to-day
under the above heading. He says Of Mr.. Edwin
Booth h:-"His last engagement In this city was ter
rible blow to him and to the management. His terms
were $500 performance. but the receipts were next
to nothing. comparatively speaking" This is all q
mistake Mr.. Booths terms fifty per cent up
to $1,000 and seventyve per cent after that amount
He played very fair average engagement. and the
management ought to have lost no money
upon these terms. Mr.. Joseph Jeferson's
usual terms 500 performance and he
seldom shares; but, from good feeling, and
ut Mr.. Booths suggestion. he accepted the
same terms as the great tragedian. Modjeskas last
engagement here not failure, but her terms,
based upon her enormous success last season. were
too high TO permit the management to make money.
There Is persistent attempt to hold these great
artists responsible for . managerial failure with
which they had nothing whatever to do, and the
HERALD has unwittingly assisted this error. Booth,
Jefferson and Modjeska played at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre upon lower terms than they could have ST.
cured at several other theatres; and they deserve
land on my part receye) the hearty thanks of the
management instead Of this continuous misrepre-
sentation. Yours faithfully, STEPHEN FISKE

The Crep Prospects.
EOhicacn Times. 18th.

EOhlCago Times. l4tD
The tines this morning publishes full
and carefully colleted Geographic reports of
the condition of the crops throughout the
west and northwest in detail From these it
will be seen that in the great wheat growing
states Of Minnesota and Wisconsin the pros
pect is more favorable than earlier III the
season was anticipated. The late rains
seem 10 have removed all unfavorable effects
of the dfouth. The iate-sOwB grain has
taken vigorous growth. An increase of about
ten per cent. in the acreage over last year is
reported, and the present estimate
of the yield is about tifty-four mil
lion bushels. Some apprehension is
ex expressed as to the effects of an overgrowth,
the result of the recent rainfall. But no Sc
rious damage seems feared From Wiscon-
sin somewhat increased acreage is report
ed, and the crop. il is estimated, will be
equal in quantity and superior IN quality TO
that of last year. From Iowa the reports
are generally favorable. The winter wheat
crop is reported in good condition, and
fine yield is predicted The late rains have
generally improved thu prospect though in
few localities there is yet complaint OF
drouth. The reports from Michigan lndI
cate that the yield will be equal to that of
last year, and of good quality, Some injury
from dronth is, however expected.
From Ohio it is reported that the
drouth has materially affected the
crop. It IS estimated that it will fail
quite one third below the yield of last year,
which, however was extraordinarily large.
The reports for Indiana indicate decrease,
as compared with last year, Of about 10 per
cent, though perhaps il may be less. In
quality the crop is good. In Kansas and
Missouri harvesting is beginning. From the
foru er Slate the report shows considerable
falling of as compared with the crop OF last
season. which is roughly estimated in the
neighborhood of 20 per cent. Late rains
have materially improved the prospect in
Missouri: bat the better estimate seems to
be that the total yield will not be more than
three fourths crop. In Illinois some dam
age has been experienced from the drouth,
but fair average crop IL is estimated VIII
be harvested, and generally Of good quality
