scheme lacks novelty so far as New York is
concerned. The first long distance messenger
service OF this sort served its purpose well. A
theatrical manager who was coming to the
front several years ago sent n New York mes
senger to London with souvenirs of a success
in which he was interested. The boy delivered
these souvenirs to distinguished Englishmen,

Walter Damrosch was an interested listener
at the dress rehearsal Of Fro Q Leandro"
on Wednesday. when the young woman who
thought that he was in love with her was ap-
plying for n summons to serve on him. No
other conductor in New York ever excited the
admiration among young women that Mr..
Damroscn did. probably. Anton Seidl was
during his lifetime surrounded by an admir-
ing bevy at all times. and the various efforts
made to advance him usually started among
the women who were devoted to his interests.
The Seidl Society and the permanent orches-

which made the women admire him go much.
and they were at that time as fond of devot-
ing themselves to his wife as to him. Mr..
Damr0seh vas regarded:inore in the same way
that the tenors are; and it was therefore dis

duties as manager and conductor made neces-

1t is probably quite as irritating for an Eng
ishman in this country to be told that his fell
countrymen cannot see a Joke as it is for
an American to hear in England that his fellow
citizens are looked upon as smart" to the
verge of dishonesty. A very clever young
who came to New York several
months ago and whose sense OF humor is quite
lcute. was quite ready to admit any charge
against his countrymen. one afternoon last
