Beginning of Last Week of Summer
 Opera at LakevIew.

Lakeview has never had a cleverer per formance than that of the "Chimes of Normandy last night, with which the Elite Opera company opened the closing week of summer opera It was snappy and full of ginger from start to finish.
 Miss Miles as Germaine, singing the fa- nous Ding Dong" chorus with the as- sistarce of the company, drew first ap- plause, closely followed by MT. Wash burns great solo, with Joy My Heart. " He was compelled to repeat 1t. Miss Nor ma Scholars every appearance as Ser polette provoked applause.
 Mir Lightwoods triumph as Gaspard was unmistakable. The portrayal was in tensely realistic and he was forced to re- spond to several curtain calls. Allie Geis made a number of very clever hits as the "Bailn."
 Chimes will be given tonight for the last time, as Fra Diavolo" will take its place tomorrow night

The buyers here are prepared to do a larger business than ever and there Is every probability of the receipts during the year 1901-2 ag- gregating hundred and thirty or thirty five thousand bales The receipts for the season will hardly reach 100000 bales.
