The rugged Americanism which re-
volted at the idea Of surrendering opera
boxes to Prince Henry and his suite
would probably get another shock If it
should observe one of Second avenues

The long-deluyed statue of Gen. Will
liam L. Sherman has at last reached
pier of the Atlantic docks, in Brooklyn.
This statue. which is an equestrian fig

No location for the statue has been pro-
v:Ied by the city.
Although the opera season at the Met

eneu from seventeen weeks to eleven the
Stockholders have no reason to be dissat-
listed with the result of the curtailed Pc

seized upon the name in tn. hope Of
attracting cash their way. Already it
is l','ssiblc to drink a Prince Henry cock
tail, and you can puff on Prince Henry
cigar between 81 ps il you wish. There
are as yet no Prince Henry puzzles on
the market, but the season is young, and
thee is no telling what the brains of

inspiration. Quickly note was penned
to Lillian Russell. The singer was
amazed on opening the letter to find it
