THEATERS IN WINTER.
Patrons Did Not suffer for VentiIa-
ton in the Old Days in
New York.

The recent cold snap brought with
1T some diScomforts, and complaint
has been made of the imperfect heat
ing of the surface cars, schools and
places of public amusement; but
what would metropolitan public
think of such an announcement on
the thcater programmes as this, asks
the New York Times.
IN. BIT is permitted to bring
your stoves to the theater."
Yet such an announcement was q
common thing on the programmes
and in the advertisements of the
early theaters of New York; and it
illustrates forcibly the difference in
the climate, and the customs, and the
theaters of Gotham then and now.
An old-fashioned winter, with the
thermometer ranging about zero for
weeks at stretch, and deep snow
IN The streets for month at a time,
is as much out of fashion now as the
old stage coaches; and as the degree
OF cold out of doors has lesscned, our
facilities for warmth indoors have in

But the early thcaters of New
york, up to the time when the old
Park fell into the hands of John
Astor and James Beellman, were
mere barns not even as well con-
structed as are rich mems barns at
the present day. They were, accord
ing to nj accounts, airy enough at all
seasons, but in the depth of winter
they were frightfully cold even with
their big stoves, which had to be kept
constantly supplied with wood. as

went to the theater, if they were

they entered the barn-like places, and
counted themselves lucky, not if
their seats were near the stage, but
near the stove.
The ultra-rich and aristocratic New
Yorker was often followed in his
sleigh by some attendants on foot,
who carried on a board or i'm box

he generally entered the theater

in that. perhaps. but what comfort

WALES CROWN IN CHURCH.
OF Pre-RevOIutionary Days in
ST. Paurs Church. New York,

"Can you tell me why the crown
of the prince of Wales, the future
king of England, adorns the pulpit
of this little church in democra tic
America?' asked visitor to old St.
lau's church, at the corner of Broad
way and Nesey street, according to
the New York Tribune.
The janitor had evidently been
asked the question before, for he
expressed no surprise, and answered
promptly:
THAT is the crown of the prince of
Wales, and it is one of the few marks
of the rule of old King George left
in New York after the revolutionary
raiders finished their work more than
100 years ago. AT that time you
could find the royal arms and Eng
lish crowns of various sorts on al
most every store in town. The signs
of the inns all bore some mark OF
royalty. Even the lamp posts were
decorated. When the spirit of revo.
luton struck New York the people
went mad for time and rushed
through every street tearing dowr
the hated signs of English misrule
How they managed to miss the can.
opy in st. Paul's is mystery. They
would certainly have thrown it into
the street had anybody remembered
it bore the crown of the prince. Al
any rate, they did miss it. and it has
remained to this day, and probably
will for century longer, for the
spirit of improvement and reform
leaves old st. Paurs pretty well
alone"
The Englishman now worships reg
ularly in front of the crown-marked
canopy.
