Plaut

A contract has just been concluded be-
tween the Pittsburg Reduction Company
and the Cataract Construction Company,
whereby the latter company will greatly
enlarge the Pittsburg Company's plant,
which was established last year ut Niagara
Falls, N. Y. and which viii, when enlarged,
be doubled in producing capacity, making
it the largest aluminium works in the world.
Moreover, q further contract has been made
with the Hydraulic Power Company, of
Niagara, for second reduction plant, to be
built at Niagara, two miles from the COM
pany's present works.
This latter plant will be of the same size
and capacity as tie existing one will
possess when it is enlarged. The concern
will Quasiruple their present capacity, which
is yefylarge. This course has been made
necessary by the phenomenal growth in
the demand for aluminium for various
purposes, demand which has increased
largely since the late reduction in price OF

SAf tile New York Dramatic Mirror:
~ IN the following list OF new plays
produced in New York the past year
the almost absolute absence OF PLAYS nor
traying American life is conspicuously
noteworthy. The success OF the year was,
OF course, "Trilby," and it is matter of
congratulation that the utility of Du
Maurier S story for stage purposes was first
proved here in America. or the distine-
lively native plays that achieved success

the entire list. Like many another theat-

TO be regretted, however. that most OF the
rat came in the production OF foreign sue
cesses by foreign actors.'
The list above referred to numbers 1O4
plays that were given a first production
In New York city. The Mirror has carefully
cataiogued these plays into five classes and
designated them as successes, failures, good
road-plays, artistic successes, and moderate
ly successful.
A careful perusal of this list should give
fair idea of metropolitan taste In things
theatrical, and settle, at least for the wear
1898, that mooted question concerning
the rise or fall OF the drama" Briefly
stated. there were s successes, 80 failures,
artistic successes" 10 moderately sue
cessrul plays, 10 which were designated
as good road-plays,' l opera which ran
one night, and the other seven were not
quaiified. or course, 'Trilby' heads the
list OF successes; the others are mainly semi
burlesque or lght-opera entertainments,
including such pieces as" The Wido w JONES'
The Night Clerk" The Great Diamond
Robbery" THE Sporting Duchess" and
others OF the same ilk.
Almost without exception those plays
classed as artistic successes were the
productions OF Richard Mansfield, while
Manager Daily is accredited with more
failures than any of his contemporar rtes
