New York, October 5, 1889.
The theatrical season is now IN
full blast and some of the most
prominent players in the world
are announced to appear before
New York audiences in the near
future. Among others, are the
celebrated English actor and
actress, Nj. and Mrs. w. ii.
Kendall, who open their first
American engagement at the
Filth Avenue Theatre tonight.
For years these two have been
particular favorltos IN London,
where they have the reputation Of
being the most moral actors on the
English stage. The prospects. are
that they Will have IA highly sue
cessful season IN America, and
especially in this city, where Il
must be confessed, that i little
more of the moral kind of drama
could be used to good advantage.
Edwin Booth is also to be
here shortly, and the gro It
Salylnl is booked 10 open up ut
Palmer's Theatre On October 10
This is 10 be the latters farewell
tour il America, and those WAC
fail to see hun now will undoubteds
ly mss one of the greatest actors
OF our times.
OUR FAIR.
The American Institute Fair
was opened last week in the pres
ence of SIX thousand people. This
big show bears about the same
relation to New Workers as the
Ordinary country fair does to the
people of the surrounding neigh
borhood; but, OF course, it is
somewhat larger, and lasts tor a
couple of months instead Of three
or four days. The building in
which it is held, occupies just one
block at, G3d ST., between Second
and Third Avenues. 1t Is crowd
cd to the doors with the latest in
yentlons IN machinery the choicest
specimens of manufactured goods
and with novelties OF every de.
scrlptlon. Some of the exhibits
this year are very attractive, anC
many of the booths are elegantly
fitted up. 4 leading paper com
pany has big house made en-
tlrely of paper. This and many
) other exhibits are calculated t
attract special attention, but re
gret that space forblds more. Ou'
thing is apparent, ond that is tha
with such a credl.able exhibition
as this we will have something Il
! console us even if we fail to catcl
! the Worlds Fair.
A MAMMOTH EXCURSION PARTY.
/ The public buildings, and tn
5 various places of interest in tn
5 city, are besleged this week o.
/ strangers, the greater part o
t whom hail from the northern par
8 of the state. They arrived to th
$ number of about ten thousand
e on sixty cars and Wagner coaches
t at the Grand Central Depot. Tn
e visitors compose the annual ex
G cursion of the residents along I'll
; line Of the Rome, Watertow
e and Ogdensburgh Railroad, an
/ consist of men, women and child
b ren merchants and pleasure seek
s els. Their tickets are good for
: week stay IN the city. and IT
evident they are trying to max
the best possible use Of the tim
s at their command. Many of ther
v. have friends here who arc cage
G to extend to them the hospitalit
: for which New Workers 81
famous. 1t Is my opinion th'
these occasional excursions are I
k be commended from many poin
n of view. They are both instru
i tive aud profitable. The cnjo.
e ment is great and the expense
light.
