PASSING THRONG.

Signor Creatore whose remarkable gy- rations as leader of Ellery's Royal Ital- ian Band created so much interest in Montgomery musical circles last winter, has caused a mild sensation in New York. He is leading an Italian band of fifty performers at Hammersteins roof garden, and the newspapers indicate that he has taken the big town by storm. According to published accounts he is more of contortionist than Strauss and Sousa put together while conducting his band. He appears to cajole, command, urge and inspire the players by turns and generally works them into a musical frenzy that is almost pathological One newspaper critic calls him the musical Dervish" and adds, whether musician or mountebank Creatore is a wonder. He interests and entertains Broadway-and that's what Broadway wants"

International Tennis Cup to Stay in
 the United States.
 New York, Aug. 6.-The Dwight F. Da- wis international lawn tennis challenge cup appears to be destined to continue to repose in this country. Both Malcolm D. Whitman and William A. B. Larned, the Americans, played better than Dr.. Joshua Pim and R. F. Doherty, the Eng lishmen, in the two sets played in the opening contests of the singles on the courts of the Crescent Athletic Club at Bay Ridge today In both competitions the point score was one sided and had the rain held off little longer the third set would unquestionably have returned the Americans the winners. Whitman scored his sets against Dr.. Pim at 6-1. 6-1 and Larned against R. F. Doherty at 6-2 6-3. The real sport of the play was furnished in the Larned-Doherty match. There was scarcely a play which was not appulauded and the expertness displayed was of the highest order Larned display ed a particularly fine eye for the side lines on his return and most of his points were male by his scientific placing of the ball far out of reach.

 The cotton plant in the Tennessee Valley is smaller this year than for several years past. It is well fruited for the size because the dry season caused 1t to bear trult more rapidly than usual. The bolls expected to begin opening about ten days earlier than the average.
 The crop has been greatly improved in the past ten days by general rains over the valley. This section, with the most favorable condl- tions, can hardly yield more than 70 per cent. of an average crop.
 The corn crop will be short also. Early corn was parched by the long drought, but recent rains have saved the late corn.
