close proximity to New York, practically
speaking part and parcel of the metropo-
lis, they are as unlike It as though they
resided In China. save in the rush for
the almighty dollar. Without the quiet
unhurried. peaceful attitude Of the Phila-
delphian, they are just as deliberate. Fig
nrativelv speaking. all the applause is left
to the galleries or to the more genteel,
k5d-gloved enthusiasm of the fair sex.
Even in the event of the Manila Hero
fhfs lack of enthusiasm might be noticed,
when the whole nation was going mad
over Admiral Dewey, when the national
song for the time might well have been,
gust One Man. when thousands jour-
ueyed from Pacific to Atlantic coast, there
were numbers of people in Jersey City
who would not take the trouble to even
cross the ferry because they dreaded the
crowd and yet, on the other hand, there
were just as many who did risk the
crowd, and nave talked of nothing but
Dewey ever since. Some formed parties
and made a day or two days Of 1t. Some
were the guests of prominent New York
ers and some simply witnessed the ceie-
bratson from grand stand or sky scraper,
but ali who saw Dewey agreed upon one
one point, and that is that he does not
resemble the majority Of his pictures.

Perhaps one Of the gayest, happiest par
ties to witness the celebration was that
which, under the ehaperonage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thos. Williams. and at the invitation
of Captain Hamlet, boarded the Chase,
from which they obtained a good view OF
the Admiral.
The party consisted Of. among others,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Williams. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Hollis Wells, Mr.. and Mrs Jones,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hilton. Mr.. and Mrs.
oliver Hazard Perry, Miss Jessie Perry,
Miss Ana Koonz, Mr.. Oliver Hazard Per-
~. Jr.. Miss Jean Mcbride, Miss Lucy
Mcbride, Miss Adele Wilson and Miss
Marion Bogardus, who finished the day
with supper ip New York, saw the IL
Nominations and came home.
The same party started OUT this morn
ing again at the invitation Of Captain
Hamlet to witness the yacht races be-
tween the Columbia and Shamrock.
DR.. and Mrs. John Holland Of Cold
Spring on Hudson. ormerly of this city,
were indeed honored OIL the Dewey &C.

Perhaps where the lack of enthusiasm,
with a Jersey City audience, is more
noticeable tina anywhere else is at the
Academy of Music. The Jersey City
people either appear to have no favorites
whatever among the actors and actresses,
or they are not demonstrative. Where a
New York audience would greet a well
known actor or actress with loud APP
plause, Jersey City IS silent. This has
been especially SO during the past two
weeks. First IN 1ue CuchOos wien -
E.. Holland made his appearances, and
second In The Village Postmaster" when
Archie Boyd came upon the stage. If the
audience recognized them they did not
show it according to the New York fash
ion, by a hearty ~clapping.
Still society seems to be well represent
ed at the Academy. which in itself is en-
couraging. Among those who witnessed
.eThe Village Postmaster are:-Mr. and
Mrs. E. F.. C. Young, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Smith. Mr.. and Mrs. Peter sipp
Van Wnikle, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank South
mayd. Mr., and Mrs. Menagh, MIR. and
Mrs. George [. Record.

ton place. Wednesday it was the Odd
