A cooling apparatus IS being installed in the
big playhouse which the amusement war
rant will reduce the highest summer tempera-
ture to a degree as low as the comfort Of
patrons requires. Still continuing its unprece-
denied success and playing to standing room
only every night, the Hippodrome has taken
such a popular hold upon the New-York and
visiting public that the indications that it

threw open its doors month ago nearly
10000 persons daily have witnessed "A Yankee

foods Of benevolence, there may be danger that

charities Will be overlooked. But b T. Keith

cause, so the benefit announced for tonight at
the Union Square Theatre for the Home for
Destitute Crippled Children should attract the
attention of all those who like to combine
amusement with almsgiving. This institution
labors especially to alleviate the unmerited suf
feringS Of poor little waits who deprived of
even natural faculties TO assist them in their
struggle with the world. Naturally, most of the
patients come from the crowded East Side, but
the home knows no distinction Of race creed or
previous condition, so It's resources are ire
quently tested to the utmost. 1t has been found
necessary to open the doors Of the Union Square
at 6:3O o'clock, in order to give all who wish TO
assist a fair showing. Prominent the pro-
gramme are Helena Frederick, prima donna
prano; George Evans, nicknamed the Honey
Boy; George Monroe. Of MY Aunt Bridget
