A new corn eating record has just been established in competition here which is likely to stand for many years. the winner in the contest set ting new mark by consuming 56 ears without pausing and thus eclipsing the old record of forty-four ears by an amount sufficient to supply an average family with sufficient corn for a meal More than 5000 ears were consumed by the 26O contestants, the least to be consumed by any one con testant being thirteen, at which un
 lucky number the competitor, a boy of nine years, was unable to proceed. He was gladdened, however. with a medal awarded in honor of his having es
 tablished a record for juveniles under ten years. As the youngster in ques
 ton weighs only 49 pounds. when empty, his achievement in consuming nearly eight pounds of corn. or one sixth of his own weight. is considered fully as remarkable as that of the prize winning competitor. To secure the 5000 ears consumed in the compe
 tition was in itself a tremendous task, one of the conditions being that every ear should be not less than eight and not more than nine inches long and should measure not less than five nor more than five and one-half inches around the butt. To obatin a supply conforming to these qualifications more than 25.OOO ears were examined by a force of ten men. Figured on a minimum measurement the winner consumed 5O4 inches of corn, or 42 feet. equal to more than seven times his own weight At the end of the contest he stated that he could have eaten at least a dozen ears more. but as he had beaten all competitors he preferred to

Everywhere the same spirit is ram pant, and the accusation that New York has no sentiment seems to find here plenty of substantiation. But from a commercial point of view the change now going on promises results undreamed of a few decades ago.

Wall street which has been compara- lively quiet during the last three months will shortly begin once more to resound with the noise of great financial transactions. Within the next six weeks it is estimated men representing not less than ten billions of dollars of investments and personal fortunes will arrive here a sum more than five times greater than the value of the corn crop, and even approx mating the annual total value of the farm products of the whole country. Practically every returning millionaire so far has stepped ashore with a cor dial smile. a condition of affairs very different from that of last year, and more particularly the year before. when such persons of great wealth who were able to go abroad for the summer returned with the glummest countenances. The reason for the cheerfulness on the part of the monied men is not far to seek. As a rule they are pleased with the tariff bill, and remember with pleasurable com parison the situation of two and three years ago when in the former case the panic had turned everything upside down, previous to which in the preced- ing year President Roosevelts activ- ities kept them in a constant state of fear. This year. however. everything seems~to be going to their satisfaction with such smoothness that about the only question troubling them is the ex- tent to which the present wave of of prosperity will carry them.

New York is becoming newer New York at such an astonishing rate that it is now authoritatively predicted that by the year 1925 1t will be practically impossible to find in the city a single building worthy of the name antedat- ing the memory of the average middle aged man. Tn other words the city. which it is expected will then be the largest in the world, will have achiev- ed its existing position so far as phys ical construction goes in only a little longer than the time usually allotted as the length of single generation. That there is a solid basis for such a seemingly incredible prediction is borne out by the mania which seems to possess this city to do away with everything which by any stretch of the imagination might be called old. New York indeed is exactly reversing the practice of the old world where age brings veneration. and nothing except the very largest buildings and inn provements here are likely to attain any degree of permanancy> In the last few years for example practically ev
 eryone of the famous old hotels has vanished. The site of the Fifth Ave. hotel. rich in memories and traditions. where King Edward. then Prince of Wales. was entertained years ago is now marked by an enormous office building with no traditions whatever. Not so long ago Union Square. a few blocks further down town, was a hotel center second to none in the country. Now even the hotels which supplanted those which established this reputation have disappeared. It is even reported that the famous old Astor House far

For at least one weex during the latter part of next month, the United States will have city not only great CT in population than any which has ever existed but one which in the total number of it's inhabitants will exceed the combined population of the four largest cities on earth. It is now es- timated that the number of people in New York during the latter half of September will exceed 16.000.000 all of whom with the exception of the reg ular inhabitants will be attracted by the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the Hudson river. and fthe one hundredth anniversary of the invention of the first steamboat by Robert Fulton. Not only will the city have the largest municipal population ever known. but curiously enough it will also honor the memory of Henry Hudson, after whom it's famous river is named, in a cu- riously striking manner. Hudson. ac- cordng to historical records, is sup posed to have starved to death in an open boat in Hudson bay. Yet the most striking feature in connection Wltn the CelepTdtlOn nelO m ms mem ory will be the greatest banquet ever held in a permanent structure at which 5000 guests will eat in memory of the man who starved. The banquet, which is to be held in the Hotel Astor on September 29. will be remarkable in many ways. It will mark the opening of the new grand ballroom. the largest room of its kind in the country. cover ing 24,000 square feet or more than half an acre. and three stories in height. Fifteen hundred couples. it is estimated. will be able to dance in comfort in this room which marks as great an accomplishment in its line as did the achievements of Hudson and Fulton in theirs. Airship compe- titions and illuminations of a magni tude never before dreamed of are only two other features of the week which may yet be made a municipal holiday. More than s10O, 900. 900. it is estimated, will be spent during the celebration. and Father Knickerbocker will not only have achieved the record of hay ing quadrupled his population in one week. but of being the worlds great
