The hot spell has made itself felt some
what at this resort, but the thermometers
along the ocean front have refused to regis
ter the high temperature recorded farther
back in town. In Long Branch city old
residents said they had never known IT to
be so hot, but the thermometers there ran
up twenty degrees higher than those at
the bathing pavilions.> While the prevail
ing wind came from the south, there has
scarcely been a time when Ocean avenue
has not been cooled by gentle sea breeze,
which, however, did not reach inland.
The local firemen are jubilant over the
action taken by the city fathers this week.
when they voted to give them a thousand
dollars to spend for the display at the time

come from all parts of the state to attend.
The Hollywood Hotel gave a garden

This has been debutante's week, ana
neither they nor their friends will forget 1t
to the end of their lives. The Oldest sum-
mer corners here cannot recall such a long
drawn-out period of heat, the nights being
relatively as bad as the days, condition
almost unprecedented at Newport
Although August is now within hailing
distance few large entertainments are in
sight. outside of charity benefits, to which
the last two seasons have run. In a gay
year the gifts to worthy objects are direct
and not through the medium of entertain
ments. which are sure to displace functions
and are therefore frowned upon from
commercial viewpoint. 1t is still rather too
early to predict with much certainty but
the drift of the last ten days indicates
decidedly lean year In the entertainment
line. The scheme for a subscription dance
invariably shows a desire to save money
and usually ends in no dance at all. but not
until 1t is too late for one or two cottagers
to make good for the deficiency. This year
the young folks are agitating the matter:

Banana is a Real Food.

Professors of dietetics tell us that the

invigorating and sustaining rice is has
been demonstrated in the recent achieve

recently introduced into this country. the
upstart banana Is, weight for weight as
nutritious as the venerable fig.
But Ii is in the fresh state. clad in It's

In itself a fascinating operation-that the
banana chiefly appeals to US. It's creamy
succulence and delicate odor are inviting

digestion. Dependent as that sapor is on
an ethereal body which the coal tar inves-

by any chemical essence. it is a subtle stirn

And thus ii is that the banana is an emf

preston or drowsiness follows meal OF
it. and meal of it may be bulky enough.

The citizen soldiers of New Jersey con-
tinue to throng the big state camp ground
at Sea Girt. This week the 4th Regiment of
Jersey City have spent several hot days
upon the rifle ranges. The boys have had a
warm time Of It. for the big parade grounds
are devoid of shade, and marching up and
down attired in hot uniforms and flannel
shirts has not been much like a vacation
at the seashore, although the seashore Is
within sight and is only five minutes walk.
The 4th Regiment took the place of the 1st
Regiment from Newark. The principal So

given to Gen. c. e. Murray, state quarter

The past week at Point Pleasant has
probably been the most pleasant Of the
summer. for folks have not seemed to mind
the hot weather the least bit and there
have been plenty of daily amusements. The
fact that there has been no humidity has
made the ocean breezes. while not quite SO
cool as a week ago, even more enjoyable
than they usually are. The moonlight
nights have proved most propitious for
straw rides and sailing parties. Euchre par

Have Pinero and Frohman parted COM
pany? The recent announcement by Geo.
Alexander that he has the complete rights
of the premier dramatists new play seems
to indicate such separation. After the
success of The Gay Lord Quex'' the Amer
lean manager secured lengthy option
upon Pinero's future work, and 1t Is
thought here that If this has been term
mated it is because Mr. Frohman has been
disappointed with the results.
Truth to tell, the impressario has not had
such a lot for his money. Iris, the first
Pinero play produced by Frohman. brought
only fair returns; Lefty had a compare
lively short run here, and an even shorter
one in the United States, and then came the
catastrophe of "A Wife Without Smile. y
Perhaps that discouraged Mr.. Frohman,
whose luck with Mr.. Plneros now greatest
rival, ]. NJ. Barrie. has been all to the good.
Anyhow, Alexander has the new Pinero
play, which is said to be a serious effort,
and will produce it in January next.
Really this is only return to first prin-
ciples for it was Alexander who originally
produced Pineros Second Mrs. Tanqueray
and The Princess and the Butterfly.
Meanwhile this actor intends to run his
present production, THE Man of the Mo-
ment," until the end of the season. In Sep
TENDER he appears at Drury Lane as the
hero of Hall Gaines dramatiZed novel, The
PrOdigal Son. and then returns to his own
theater in revival of the present attrac-
ton, which he hopes will run until the
Pinero piece can be put on. During Alex
anders absence from the st. James that
playhouse VIII be occupied for season by
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall. long lost to the West
End, though seen from time to time at

Mrs. Humphrey Ward at her country
house at Tring, is hard at work on another
play. OF its nature, however, the author
ess declines to give so much as hint, and
declares she has no idea when 1t will be
finished Evidently Mrs. Ward Is deter
mined to shine as a dramatist, and one Is
inclined to admire her persistency, for moth
ing remotely resembling success has at
tended her previous attempts at playwrit-
ing. Eleanor adapted for the stage by
It's author, proved long -winded and "talky''
to degree, while Mrs. Wards more re-
cent effort-a comedy called Agatha"
written in collaboration with Louis N.
Parker-was rather surprisingly unorig-
inal piece of work, though one which con-
tained much fine writing. Given original
ly at Trees Theater, with Miss Viola Tree
as the heroine, Agatha has been repeat
ed at one or two special matinees, but has
excited little interest. That Is not saying
however, that the author of Robert Els
mere may not yet do good work for the
stage, and her new play will be awaited
with much curiosity.

Before these lines are printed a waiting
world will have welcomed the new play
by George Bernard Shaw, Passion, Poison
and Fertilization" which-as already an
nounced here's to be given several times
at the actors fund benefit next week This
profound work-which is expected to play
for about twelve minutes-is sure to be
done across the water ere long, so Amer
lean readers will be glad of the following
foreword regarding the masterpiece-which
came direct from the author himself:
MY play Mr.. Shaw says, contains
many profound truths and vivid flashes of
characterization touching the police and
public questions, the medical profession, the
marriage question, the fashionable clothes
question, the craze for fine art, the infu-
ence of dramatic critics on modern plays
the probable character of the music sung
in heaven, the land question In towns the
drink question, the mineral water question,
the servant question and the question of
first aid to the poisoned. This is, of course
much less than any usual allowance of sub
jects; but the limitation to twelve minutes
made 1t impossible for me to cover as
much ground as in my regular pieces Still
there Is much food for thought In the little
play, and the more earnest section of my
disciples should make point of seeing It
several times in succession"
