| New York has been particularly
crowded this week on account of the
J hac nF
York fans are greatly disappointed at
the showing so far made by the Gil
ants (this letter was written before
this afternoons game).
! In front of the New York Herald
and New York Times buildings, where
every play is given on the Photograph,
the streets are lined for blocks with
solid mass of humanity. Special po-
lice are detailed, and they handle the
crowds with the utmost ease and lack
of confusion. 1t is exceedingly inter
esting to watch the crowds and their
. enthusiasm, as well as to see the play
ograph.
Messrs. Whit Palmer and Frank
Harris, Jr., spent yesterday in Phil
adelphia, going over especially for
the game, in which the Giants were |
again defeated by the great bunch of |
players known throughout the length |
and breadth of the world as the Ath-
letics, and they are so far not belly
ing their names.
The theaters at this season are par
ticularly and wonderfully attractive,
there being an unusually large num-
Der of good things to be seen at this I
time. OF course there is the Hippo
drome, that gigantic and wonderful
spectacular production. 1t is the
largest theater in the world, and the
scenes this year are entirely laid in
America. Florida is given especial
prominence, there being one scene de-
plotting the landing of Columbus, and
a scene of the Ponce de Leon hotel
at st. Augustine, in the beautiful
court yard of which takes place the
attractions, baseball, football, tennis.
basket ball. airships. boxing, fencing
and other pretty battles.
Another enjoyable attraction now
