1 know the one Hercules is fulfilling the
! promise Of all the bill boards on the street.
The code of morals practical in the Bow
cry museums is peculiar, as peculiar as
almost ever ything else on the street. After
a little experience you discover that the bill
boards and the filming delineations on the
front of the building are presented on a
! purely historical place When you en-
counter the staggering erray Of attractions
| in the pictorial part of the show, and go
inside to find a solitary and exceedingly
morose freak; and when you appeal 70 the
proprietor or his representative 1t will
dawn upon you that the pictured series rep
resents all the curiosities that ever en-
livened the museum, and not by any means
the list now under engagement. Until a
! man thoroughly understands this theory he
is liable to feel wronged, and perhaps re-
| sentful.
The high grade professional liar with q
rattan 8ho stands at tho door OF the mu-
scum is looking particularly fresh and Wig
orous this season. He has generally been
to some place that agreed with him. When

The good old-fashioned institution, the
| shooting gallery, acquires new features
every year. It is now very complicated

trapper who stood with targets between
their shoulders, have been succeeded by
warriors and guides who bob from behind

himself in this interestingly, deliberate and
regular manner. For people OF more ad.
venturous turn there are leaping lions and
| leopards, which appear very regular but
are by no means 80 easy to hit in the vital
spot. The vital spot is painted white and is
generally over the left lung.
The theaters are all in full blast, and are
opening the season with particularly ag-
gressive brands of melo1rama and bur
lesque. The lady orchestras at Atlantic
Garden, and the less seemly Volks Garden
and elsewhere continue to supply popular
craving for musical novelty. Sometimes
they are found to be playing very fairly,
as at Atlantic Garden, but the status is not
high. Yet these lady orchastras are classic
in comparison with tho dance hall warblers
The dia of talk in these places is so great
that only women with fog-horn voices in
the lower baritone register are able to make
themselves heard to anybody but the leader
of the orchestra, while a vast majority OF
the girls afford the auditor in the back OF
the hail nothing more than pantomime,
and feeble pantomime at that, partly WIS.,

Bowery and carting off various picturesque
objects from fruit stands to suspender carts.
But the encumbrances multiply under this
plucking. All the way up to Cooper Union,
door ways continue in great de-

fruit stalls now besiege every available
spot. Fruit was never so cheap an the
Bowery as it has been this month. The
same may be said of drinks. The saloons
are cutting prices on fancy drinks. Con-
noisseurs say the quality has not improved
in proportion.
