those davs has grown old and small. The chill
dren of the men and women who appiauded
Bandmann and Barnay and who wondered at
the versatility of Geistinger and Gallmeyer take
no interest in German performances, because
they are Americans, of whom some cultivate
the German, but many cannot speak the IAN
guage of their parents. The influx from Ger
many is too small 10 offset these causes for
diminishing demand for the German drama,
and hence the people who are interested in the
German stage-and there are still many in New
York-always look anxiously for denial of the
annual report that the German drama is to be
seen no more.

SOCIAL NOTES FROM NEWPORT.

IBy Telegraph 20 The Tribune
Newport r. l., Aug 4.-To-day was not a busy
one with society In Newport, the work of the dsy

tired many out AS a result there was little life
in the cottage colony until night. when there ere
a number of dinners. Another reason for the dull

HORTTCUTTURAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Experiments in fruit culture under the au-
spices of the Department of Agriculture are said
TO have eliminated in several notable successes
within the last few months. A new species OF
lime has been developed by crossing the west
Indian variety with the Sicily lemon The fruit
is almost seedless, natures early and has
flavor which particularly commends il to dis
eliminating palates. Another hybrid, the cit
range" resembles the grapefruit in taste and
in the facility with which it's pulp may be re-
moved with spoon. 1t promises to be cheaper
however, and to be harder than either the
grapefruit or the common orange. 1t is as
serted that citrange trees have been subjected to
a temperature of 10 degrees above zero without
injury.
Achievements of this sort should enable the
fruit grower TO get better return on his in
vestment of labor and capital. Fruit dealers
will welcome every Improvement in quality and
every assurance of greater certainty Of produc-
tion. Finally the consumer has reason to be
pleased at every prospect Of either an enlarged
supply or q wider choice.

THE HARVARD CREW IN ENGLAND

The Harvard University oarsmen who are to
race with the Cambridge crew in a few weeks
are quoted on their arrival in England as saving
that they expect to give a good account of them
selves That natural expression may be inter-
preted IS meaning that they are confident of win
ming: but we do not believe that they really feel
al all sure Of the result of the race The state
ment attributed TO them probably reflects their
exact condition Of mind. and we have no doubt
that their cheerful anticipation will be realized.
They viii give good account of themselves
They have reason 10 know that they are A DOW
erful. expert and enduring crew. But it is GER
tain that the Cambridge eight also possesses
those qualities. and that il enjoys the great
advantage OF being N home. instead of abroad
Undoubtedly the Harvard men hoped 70 win
when they started, and would not have ar
ranged the race if they had not thought they
had a reasonable chance; but there was no
vanity OF spirit in their challenge. and not q
hint of bOastfulness appeared in the negOtia-
lions. In brief the transaction has thus far
exhibited the true temper of the amateur on
both sides, and ii Will be completed in a man

GERMAN DRAMA ~ NEW YORK.

One OF the annual rumors in the METROPOLITAN
theatrical world which is usually circulated in
vacation time, when plans for the coming sea-
son are being made, is TO the effect that the
German theatre will not be reopened. These
reports have at various times had the theatre
converted into a vaudeville show place, a skat-
ing rink, an apartment house and stage school.
This seasons rumor is OF the vaudeville va
riety, and gives the new lessee immediate pos
session" provided Mr. COnried can secure re-
leases from the actors with whom he has made
contracts.
The abandonment OF the German theatre
would be a source of deep regret to many per-
sons in and near New York. but that the con-
tingency is not beyond possibility has been evil

NE1GHBoRis NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A NEIGHBORS MfSfNIEhf&thA AZ AU-sS'
"The World singuarly misinterprets the at
titude of The Tribune on the question OF non
partisan judicial nominations. With real judi
cial non-partisanship we have the greatest SYM
pathy. and have uniformly supported all efforts
to take the courts out Of politics. We have re-
neatedlv advocated the nomination of Demo
Gratis for the bench by Republican conventions.
and we originated the movement in the Repub-
Hcan party which made a distinguished DEM
Ocrat the present chief judge Of the Court Of
ADpeaIs So now we are glad TO promote true
nOn-partlsanship, and object only TO that So
called non-partisanship which Is iealOusly bent
on finding Republican candidates for the bench
unavailable.
Our comment which 1.-THE World" criticises
wPa based on the inconsistencies of those who
proclaimng their absolute disregard for polit-
cal I. GnsideratiOns, Immediately give the great
eat care to them; who set up one rule OF nom
pa itisanship Ia the list District and quite an
other rule in the ID District. When we said
that the Republicans in the I'd District were
entitled 20 three OF the seven new judges we
said it in connection with and in reply to what
purpOrted TO be an authoritative statement Of
the purpose of the nominating committee that
non partisan selections should be made with
view to partisanship. and the suggestion that
the Republicans were thought to have too many
ination. Our argument was solely directed to
show that on the principle of fair division be-
tween the parties, which it was said would
govern the committee, the Republican aspirants
were entitled to be as well treated as Demo-
crafts and not arbitrarily ruled out of the COM
petition.
"Thc World also misrepresents The Trib-
une's remarks about Judge Cowing's Repub-
licanism. We did not say that it should be WIS.,
ible to the naked eye. We are perfectly con-
tent that it should not be, and are glad if his
Democracy is equally invisible. What we did
say was that Republican candidates for the
other vacancy in General Sessions should not
have been arbitrarily set aside because of the
alleged Republicanism of a judge whO If re-
port be true, has been in recent years con-
tributor TO Tammany campaign funds excu-
sively. 1t is not the nOn-partisanship displayed
in such methods of nominating judges TO which
we object. but the extreme and offensive par
tisanship.

Year after year the attempt is made to swim
across the English Channel but usually, IL not
always, without success. The task is beSet with
difficulties because Of tidal currents. Something
besides mere distance must be overcome. The
art of swimming deserves every encouragement
for it enables a man to save his own or another's
life in emergencies of a kind which are Of only
too frequent occurrence. For this and other rea-
sons one could wish that the distinction which
many British swimmers have sought in vain
might have been more frequently won.

Theories About How These Cloud
Formations Are Caused.
The mackerei sky comes from the
same causes as all the cirrus clouds. so
called from the beautiful curl their
fragments often assume. such as
'mackerel skies" mares tails" and
cats tails Meteorologists are not
agreed as to the cause, there being two
explanations.
1t has been suggested that these cir
rus clouds are the heads of columns Of
rapor rising from the earth and pre-
cip!tated as soon as they attain a Ger.
tain elevation, rarely less than three
miles above the earth (5,S4O feet and
often FIVE or six miles 5000 to 3o.oOo
reet). 1T this be so the visible cloud
forms the capital Of an Invisible pillar
OF saturated air.
The second explanation IL that they
are caused in the higher regions OF the
atmosphere by the meeting Of two cur.
rents OF air of different water bearing
capacity, causing them to form iy5f,
