ing been one of the hits, that the pro-
duction given this little opera proved a
most delightful surprise.
"One OF the most noticeable things
in the personnel Of this company was
that everyone knew how to sing. and
the majority knew how TO act, a truly
remarkable condition of affairs in q comic
opera. Mile. Florence Weber in the
title role was extremely well suited TO
the Marietta, which the book by Kda
johnson Young called for She was
very dainty and charming with being
doll-like, had very delightful and
quite appropriate French accent, and
both acted and sang her part extremely
well Juan Carlo in the role of Capt.
Dick, although little inclined at times
to let his self-restraint and dignity slop
over into pomposity Of the Italian light
opera style, could sing well and acted
his part very ereditably. Blanche T..

roles, singing and acting his role we'll.
Cara Crendelli as Adah was inclined to
be mediocre, although she tried hard

charming little comic opera well pre-
sented, and one which those who saw
it would be glad to see again.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Butter Prices Advancing, But Eggs Re-
main the Same.

N+-N CeAihNs
Boston, Oct. 25. The local butter
market is once more headed upward, as
receipts show considerable shrinkage.
while strong adyices from outside mar
kets, with the New York market one
half TO one cent higher than it left off
last week, make buyers more ready to
take hold. Late last week. 32 cents was
about as much as dealers could expect to
obtain for fancy northern creamery but
there are now few who will sell at that
place, and most of them are asking 321s
cents. The market is about one-haIf
cent higher. The demand for cheese is
still rather slow, but the steadiness OF
the primary markets makes dealers n
little less eager 10 sell and a somewhat
frmer feeling il evident Prices OF fresh
eggs are no higher than they were last
week, but the supply is short and any
immediate change Is likely to be upward.

BIG APPLE CROP THIS YEAR.
Yield Of 100000 Barrels in the United
States Estimated


Apple oreharding is in better shape
this fall than for some time past, the
New England Homestead of October IS
will say with more merchantable fruit
in sight for storage and winter markets
and reasonably good prices prevailing.
Tn this final report of the apple crop Of
the United States, it is possible to show
a total considerably larger than the av-
erage Of recent years Summarizing the
returns from investigations at first hand,
made by the New England Homestead,
the 1911 crop OF apples is placed at
total of 30,000,000 barrels, or a fifth
larger than that OF 1910 or 1909. This
total is by no means bumper crop;
but that is seldom realized. The Yields
in some Of the larger producing states
this year compared with 1910 are as
follows; New York, 5,200,000, against
3G00.000; Pennsylvania, 100000,
against 100000; Ohio, 100000, against
l,250.000; Michigan, 100000, against
l,2o0,000 Maine, l,350,000 against
100000. Taking New England as a
whole, the production viii aggregate
3l50000, against 2,s50000 in 1910. In
the middle states the yield is l4000.000,
against S,T5Q,0o0 a year ago; while in
the central West, the yield Is 2,050,000,
compared with l,775,000 in 1910.
A general improvement over year
ago is shown throughout the central
West, in the middle and Northwest Sec
tions, and in New England Colorado
has good crop, but further west and
northwest there il no material improve
ment over last year; while in the middle
South, where the earlier maturing pre-
vented the gains through autumn rains,
the yield is only fair, but includes many
choice apples for local markets, particu-
larry in such important states as the
Virginias.

@Beaningn the Batter.

In @The Right and Wrong Of Base
ball. in the October American Maya
zine, Hugh s. Fullerton gives an in
teresting account of what is considered
sportsmanship and what cheating in the
national game. He writes:
.sThe best batters are those who
crowd the plate, that is. who stand as
near the plate as the rules or the UNI
pire will permit and lean over the cor
ner of the rubber to make it difficult
for the pitcher to pitch across that cor
ner without taking chance of hitting
the batter.
'The players recognize the fact that
