ENTERTAINMENTS.


The preliminary season at the New
Haven theater opens tonight, when Al
Woods great play, Dangers of Work
ing Girls" will be the bill. The play
will be presented again tomorrow and
Saturday nights and at the matinee on
Saturday.
During the summer the theater has
been thoroughly renovated and cleaned
throughout by the vacuum system,
which removes all dirt and dust effect
ually. The ventilation has received
special attention, so that a current of
Icool, pure air is continually passing
through the building.
In point of novelties the melodrar1a
Dangers of Working Girls" has more
than the usual share. Every act-and
there are four of them-is replete with
stirring situations, which crowd each
other to such an extent that the audi
ence never suffers from ennui. In this
era of stage craft to be able to enter
tain an audience and hold its interest
for two hours and a half is no mean
achievement. A. II. Woods, who pro-
duces the Dangers of Working Girls"
lis a stickler for realism. He believes in
true Characterization. The new play is
tclever1y constructed, and its humor and
Ipathos are equally blended. There is
action from the first curtain to the
final one, and many original ideas are
introduced.
First the working of the third de-
gree by the police is shown. Then
there is a thrilling fight in an opium
joint and an underground chamber Of
mysteries, in which the hapless victims
are terrorized by a villainous criminal
who practices in their presence some of
the mysticisms of the Far East. This
scene is so graphically depicted that it
often casts spell over the audience,
which is held enthralled and which is
only brought to a sense of its surround
| ings by the fall of the curtain. The
climax of the drama is an exceptionally
strong one, 1t shows the blowing up
Thy dynamite, of this gruesome place
and the exciting and timely rescue of
the unfortunates by the crew of one of
the New York police boats. '..
| Mr.. Woods has selected company of
Exceptional strength and merit to in
terpret the different roles. Seat sale is
now open.

GREAT ELECTRIC MAYPOLE.
One of the Features of White City's
Venetian Nights.

The gigantic electric maypole that
will be one of the features of the Ven
etian nights Saturday and Sunday at
the White City will be magnificent
spectacle. The maypole effect was not.
exactly planned, but comes about
through the nature of the arrangement
of the lights to get the right effect on
the lagoon. In the center of the latter
great pole fifty or sixty feet high will
be erected. This will be covered with
electric lights, giving it the appearance
of a great shaft of flame. From the top
of the pole long strings Of electric lights
will be run to the sides of the lagoon,
this completing the blazing maypoIe.
Manager Cundell yesterday in New
York completed his arrangements for

render are 'Beauty's EyS," medley;

Ileft hand.
zingarella, the queen of the spiral
tower and globe, gives one of the best
and most daring acts seen at the White
City this season, and is making the hit
she deserves.
The wonderful exhibition of snake
handling given by Miss May Irving, the
beautiful Texas girl, should not be
missed this week. She handles the
deadliest of reptiles without fear.

HUNT1NGroN's HOME WEEK.


Huntingtons plan for an Old Home
Week is practical. hard-headed one.
in keeping with the traditions of New
England. The programme, as already
printed in the Sentinel, is well calcula-
ted to entice the wandering sons and
daughters back to the scenes of their
childhood. and the dates, August 13
and 49, should be kept prominent,
lest they forget" The very fact that
there abides in Huntington enterpris-
ing business spirit to put on foot such
an observance and enough of the home
and family spirit to encourage a gene
raj homecoming and renewal OF town
and hearthstone ties, should of them
selves be sufficient to bring about many
''returnings" and many happy reun-
ions.
One thing which seems to place the
Huntington observance above the plane
of some similar undertakings is the fact
that it in no way savors of scheme to
fatten wallets. There is not the
slightest faint of commercialism about
it. 1t is simply the setting apart of a
few days which will be especially de-
voted to a wholesome renewal of ac-
quaintance, a reminder of the debt
which every man owes to his birthplace
and a strengthening of purposes for its
future welfare. Nor is 1t to he all sem
timent. Huntington should derive some
benefit from this reunion which she has
planned, and get it she will. It may
rot be apparent from the first, but out
! of it all there must spring up some seed
which will bear fruit for Huntington S
| permanent good, either for growth or
for improvement, something which will
make for progress. The very fact, too,
that Huntington is a small town should
help to make the Old Home gathering
a most pleasant one, and far greater
success from most standpoints than
some of the unwie1dy celebrations
which have been held in other places
notably in Bridgeport.
Connecticut as state has given
sanction to Old Home Week as being
desirable, and two years ago a COM
mission was appointed, giving official
recognition to such projects We do
not know that the commission ever ac-
complished anything or that it was
ever asked to accomplish anything. 1t
may not even have drawn salaries. On
the other hand, it is not known to have
done harm. Huntington certainly has
no use for a state commission at this
time. Her citizens are better capable
than outsiders are to run a successful
Old Home celebration. They know the
needs and tastes of the people and their
environment, and whatever they under
take in behalf of the observance will be
from the heart. Effort Of this kind is
always better than hired help. May
\ Huntington's lIome-conaers be many,
their reception hearty and their stay
/ pleasant.-Ansonia Sentinel

CONDITION OF CROPS.

Following is the condition of crops in
New England section for the week end
ing August q. as reported by the Gil
mate and Crop service of the Weather
Bureau, United States Department of
Agriculture: NJ" -.-.
Crop conditions have greatly i'm
proved since the last report was writ
ten, due to precipitation of the last
two days of the week ending July S1st
and the first few days of the past
week. Corn and potatoes show the
greatest Improvement, as at last report
they were In a somewhat serious con-
dltion, owing to lack of moisture. The
former is now generally in normal
condition. While the nights have been
rather cool, the low temperature has
not been a great hindrance to the de-
velopmeent of crops:
Grain.-The weather of the past week
was unfavorable to a limited extend to
the harvesting of grain, especially to
oat harvest, which is generally well
under way. Barley harvest is also
progressing nicely and the yields of
these two cereals indicate a good crop
in each. Rye harvest Is completed and
results are very satisfactory. Straw
yield of oats show decidedly well, this
by-product being very essential for
rough feed. Buckwheat is in a normal
condition, having shown considerable
Improvement the past week. The
greatest improvement. however, is
shown in corn, which last week was
curling badly from lack of moisture.
Reports indicate that corn is well
silked, and the ears are now setting.
Sweet corn is now plentifully in the
market, and the quality is very good
Grass.-The hay harvest was practi-
cally completed during July, but a few
reports indicate that late fields were
harvested the past week. Second
growth grass has not shown to good
advantage previously, but an improved
condition is now noticeable, owing tc
recent rains. Pastures which last week
were becoming dry and brown from
lack of moisture, have greatly i'm
proved, and fall feed Is fully assured
in nearly all sections.
Fruit-No decided change has taken
pace in the condition of fruit in this
past week. Berries of all kinds, with
the single exception of blueberries, are
quite plentiful. Peaches and pears
will be fair crops, but apple reports are
still very unfavorablee, and show a de.
cidedly poor crop.
Vegetables Vegetables of all kinds
show marked improvement, due to THE
rainfall of the week just ended. Pota'
toes and onions show the greatest ben
eft. The marketing of garden TRUCK
is quite general; cabbages, carrots
parsnips, beets, set onions, ETC., com
ing in in large quantities.
Tobacco.-Tobacco was greatly bene
fitted by the showers Of thee past week
and but little damage was reported
Tobacco is nearly all topped and tn,
color is generally good and the qualit.
sound. In many places cutting has be
gun and in practically all localities
will begin the coming week.
