 When President Reynolds called the delegates to order at ten o'clock there seemed no doubt the convention would vote against the postal savings banks and deposit guarantee propositions. The fate of the central national bank scheme is still in doubt, however, western delegates promising to fight it to the bitter end.
 After the invocation reports of com 1rittees were called for. This consti- tuted the most important work of the conyentions and tl-e representatives precipitated an immediate debate.
 Just before noon the president order ed read the invitations for next years convention and then James Forgan, president of the First National Bank -of Chicago. delivered an address on "The Efficiency and Limitations of Bank Supervision Examination and the Responsible Source of Bank Manage, ment."
 This afternoon was devoted to brief discussion of practical banking aues- tions. unfinished business. adoption of resolutions, and election and lnstalla- tion of new officers.

As there were A number of his actor friends in the audience. this sally evoked much laughter. The new song comedy has a consistent plot and is full of anus ing situations, and witty lines.

There are five or six songs in the piece that are bound to become Whlstllng 1aNOr- ties, but Hopper's own song, Ine Robin and the Wren" was the real triumph of the evening. The Com pany contains a number of well known people, including Miss Harriet Burt. and Miss Ethel Dovey. The chorus is a large one and in the opln- ion of the critics present the pest looking aggregation of girl singers and dancers that has come out of New York in years The proouctioh is a very elaborate one.
