NEW YoRR, July THE individual
who Graves for an Eastern trip and has
mis- craving satisfied is apt TO be very
tired but wiser man when he returns
home. A trip to Philadelphia and New
York for recuperstion may be likened
to the Tom Sawyer episode wherein the
small boys whitewashed the fence 1or
fun. Both are mistaken conceptions.
Since my arrival here last FRIDAY l
have covered more territory on loot
than the average New York bobby
covers In a year and that IS saying
great deal.
A greater part eff the attractions at
the theaters are comic operas ana all
are playing TO splendid business. MoSt
of the plays are OF nature To suit inc
MANY strangers who are visiting IN the
city. as New Workers eschew the play
houses at this season Of the year
DeWolf Hopper's lively conception
"Wang" is very pleasing. The Mother
Goose rhymes that are sung at Intervals
during the piece are loudly enchored.
Lillian Russell, as pretty as ever, APP
nears nightly at the Casino. The play
"Apollo" appears to have been written
around the lady, so 10 speak, ana gives
her ample opportunity to sho" hor
charms. "Apollo," however, Is not as
interesting as it might be, ana VIII DC
taken off the boards the latter part Oh
this week.
Last night Theodore Thomas orches-
ira of rs pieces opened weeks en-
eagement in Madison Square Garden
The Garden is an immense structure
covering whole square, and while the
orchestra played in one part OF the
building Richard Mansfield rendered
Prince Karl" in another part. yet the
performances did not conflict with one
another.
The season at Coney Island is now at
it's height. Sunday, 10000 people at
tended the resort. The little Island
may be considered great big
amusement nall, taken as
q whole. There are at least 200 saloons
and concert halls in full blast, and what
with toboggan slides. razzle-dazzle
swings, y-go-rounds, games OF
chance and fakes of all kinds, it is
great place.
Carmencita, the Spanish dancer, who
has been at Roster q Balls museum Tor
the past two years, closed her engage
ment Saturday night, and will get ready
to ''star" the coming season. The LADY
came to this country 10 work on a very
small salary and created great sensa-
ton. What there is about Carmencita's
dancing TO set New Workers wild, can
not see. The lady will do well on the
road for one season, but do not think
she will be profitable to her manager
longer. The Western show-goer is not
so easily satisfied as the Eastern.
While attending performance at the
Garden Theater charcoal artist drew
the picture of Grover Cleveland for the
admiration of the audience, and the
applause that greeted the sketch was
deafening. The pictures Of Blaine,
Harrison and others were outlined but
the audience were very mild over them
All the signs show that Cleveland is as
popular as ever.
Castle Garden where your grandfath-
ers and grandmotherS first trod the
earth on this side of the Atlantic ocean
is being RACED and the old land mark
will soon disappear. Thousands of well
known people have occupied quarters at
Castle Garden yet none of them have
any pleasant recollections of the place.
