A GRAND COTTON CARGO.

The champion Press" has been making q
magnificent showing since Its erection, and In
anothar column Is published an account of
the largest cotton cargo on record, the cotton
composing the same having passed through
the Champion and been reduced to Its least
possible bulk. Capt. E. A. Cotton, of the
American ship Alexander, In letter to
Messrs, John B. Latitte t. Co, the managers of
the Champion Press. gives a comparative
statement of the cargoes which his ship has
carried out OF this port since 1877, which
shows that this immense cargo Of 5751 bales
overlaps her 1877 trip by 1902 bales and her
1879 trip by 1924 bales. This is really a grand
success and the enterprisipg managers of this
powerful press deserve much credit for the
improvements they have pushed ahead, and
now but little, IL any. greater perfection In
co mpressing can be desired.

FROG OPERA.

The event OF the season will be the produc-
tion, commencing April 28, at the Opera
House, of the sparkling extravaganza, called
Frog Opera, with Pollywog Chorus" Those
who have witnessed the rehearsals say that
nothing so mirth-provoking in the amateur
line has ever been given In this city. The
fun Is all of the most innocent character.
The costumes are extremely rich and elegant,
and the properties striking and original.
Judging by the extraordinary interest which
the Frog Opera" has created among all
classes, there will be great rush for tickets on
Wednesday morning, April 21, at Grunewald's,
when the sale OF reserved seats opens.
