Good Strawberry Season.-Local Han.
pennings and Personal Mention.

Townsend, June z. Strawberries
have been so plentiful in this neigh
borh cd that growers are unable to
secure enough pickers to gather
them and large quantities seem
doomed to rot on the vines. The
berries are more abundant than thew
have been in many years and are of
fine quality. Many are being canned
by house wives in order to prevent
them from going to waste.
The farmers of this section predict
the largest crops they have harvested
in five years. The cold weather of
spring has somewhat retarded the
growth of oats, but farmers are of
the opinion that there will be a bio
crop Notwithstanding. The late
frosts have not injured the wheat
rye, corn, clover, timothy, cherries.
apples, grapes, peaches, pears and
apricots, and all are in a healthy
thriving condition. Harvest time is
expected to be two weeks earlier
this year.
Pigs are very scarce and in great
demand among the farmers. Per

above Tetrazzinil Think of it, ye who
have acclaimed the famous high f.
Flat. as phenomenal and wonder
working. And yet this is actually the
marvellous compass in the high regis
ter up to double high G Of Ellen
Beach Yaw. who made her New York
grand opera debut in Doni2etti's "Lu-
cha at the Metropolitan last night,
and with no small success.
1t was not as a phenomenon that
Miss Yaw achieved q very legitimate
success. but as a floritura singer of no
little quality. Miss Yaw has q pleas
ant stage appearance.
Aside from the phenomenal part of
the voice, Miss Yaw has a high, flexi-
BILE soprano, clear, sweet and even in
the upper register. Her phrasing is
intelligent, and her general style shows
both cultivation and artistic sincerity.
/ had heard so much of this singer
as a sort of s~ky-rocket vocalist that
her really restrained and artistic work
came as a pleasurable surprise.
She sang 'Quando Rapito," In ex-
cellent style and finished 1t with an
extraordinary note-a real note-not
a squeak, not merely touched, but
held-a G in altissimo, a major third
above the Tetrazzini note.
Tetrazzini's voice may be likened TO
a flute; this remarkable organ of Miss
Yaw's can be said 20 resemble the pic
colo. the highest instrument in the
orchestra.
In the mad scene there were more
marvellous, voice fireworks, rising in
vocal heights whore my knowledge of
absolute pitch refused to carry mo. II
was certainly a most m ex-
hibition of vocal gymnastics, and IT
must be confessed that he applause
of the audience vas justifiable.
Miss Yaw used the flute cadenza
and was obliged to repeat it, She
took the high E-Flat twice, and was
recalled several times, being greeted
with great enthusiasm.
These wonderful tones Miss Yaw
certainly possesses to make an audi
ence gape with open-mouthed aston
ishment, as they aid last night.
Miss Yaw can be credited with a
very distinct success.
