New. YORK, Oct. 25.-The theater and opera
season in this big wicked city has fairly com.
menced and large and enthusiastic audiences
greet the, players and singers at every perform
ance. At Booths they are PLAYING .'Ciu3er-
ella" for the benefit OF The children. and i is a
sight to see four or five Thousand nicely dressed
children, attended by their mammas and
nurses, feasting their eyes on tho beautiful
scenery, and totally unconscious of anything
but the beautiful fairy land in trent OF them.
Gerster is singing magnifcently and acting
horribly in opera before immense audiences at
the academy of music. When she sings she
sings like an angel, but when she dies, or
faints abe does it like al bullock struck in the
head-fops down with jerk. 1t is probably
folly Co criticize her. for she has big houses and
pleases those that pay for it, and a big bank
account is good answer to critics and credit
ors alike.
Johnny Davenport is running farce here
called THE Supervisors of Registration, -
or "The Fool in Power He plays
leading part and is ably supported by
deputies who are gotten up for the occasion.
The other day he preferred charges against a
man for procuring false naturalization papers,
and then had the case tried before him-he
was not only the accusor, but the Judge No
body but the accused and his accusors are al
lowed to be at the hearing, and the prisoners
guilt or innocence depends entirely upon his
politics.
The Republicans have evidently made up
their minds to put their money and work right
into this city, in order tc cut down the Demo-
cratic majority in the city sufficiently to
overcome it by the majority they hope to bring
to Kings bridge from the rest of
the State. This is evidently their programme
and whether they can accomplish it or not,
depends upon their ability to import and buy
votes. That they will have to get 60. coo more
votes in this State than they ever had, in order
to carry it, there can be no doubt, fer the reg
istratien is immense
There are 81, 600 more names on the registry
in this city than ever before, and allowing the
Democrats fair ratio of this increase, it will
give the Republicans hard pull to get away
with New York's thirty-fve electoral votes.
The scarcity of hotel accommodations would
seem to indicate the presence of an immense
number of strangers in the city, and if you
don't want to be turned into the streets YOU
had best be mighty humble to the gentlemanly
and noble hotel clerk, who parts his vacuum
in the middle and wears plate glass windsw
in bis shirt front. If he allows you to register
he will look to see what place you blame yOur.
self onto, and then haughtily Danish you to
closet up among the caves of the house. The
slightest lrnpudence on Your part towards any
OF the bell gentlemen or walters, will be
promptedly reported at the office, and you
will find that the "Chinese must CO." and that
the son of your father will not have where to
hide his noble brow, although he may have
ducats in his pocket.
THE WEATHER.
There is just as much weather here as there
is in Minnesota, and although the grass is still
green in the parks the wind comes whstling
around the corners, telling the poor of a cold
winter that is close at hand. 1t makes the
thousands of beggers shiver and beg harder
than ever, and to less purpose, for people close
their hearts and fists alike in cold weather, and
hang closer to their pennies.
Generous people do not come from uugene,
rous climates, and he to whom nature has
been niggardly will be that same unto his
fellow man. This may account for the large
Republican majOrities in the new States, the
charity of whose inhabitants begins and ends
in sickly sentimentality over the imaginary
sufferings of race of people whom they know
nothing of.
Rents, provisions and clothing are very high,
and how on earth the poor live here is more
than any one but themselves can answer, and
probably no one else cares.
There is one thing that is cheap here and
that is riding. You can take street car. a
buss or elevated railway car, steamer. or a
ferry boat, aud ride for about one cent a mile
all over the city. The principal business of the
people here seems to be to get from one part of
the city to another, as the conveyances are oil.
ways full and well patronized, and the avenues
are crowded with hacks and private vehicles
every afternoon and way into the night.
