New York has not lost its Hippodrome
after all. Economic troubles have not
closed the doors Of the theatre. which
is more than any other In the city the
theatre OF the people. The thousands who
find diversion there every year. whether
they be of our own younger generation
or the stranger within our gates, are
not destined to disappointment. On Sat
nrday night Charles Dillingham; opened
the present season there with Get To-
vised 1t proved a delightful entertain
ment. fully up to the standards of past
seasons. quite capable of disseminating
just as much genuine diversion and
harmless merrlment as this popular In
stitution has in past seasons provided.
General Stage Director Burnside has
indeed combined this year bits of amuse-
ment of every kind. There was, for in
stance, comedy cinema, THE To-
reador," with Clyde Cook. which began
the entertainment. Any Hippodrome
extravaganza would be incomplete with
out. OF course, such pillars OF the insti-
tuition as Powerss performing ele-
plants. So Lena. Jennie. Roxy and
Julia were there as of old to satisfy the
public that there was to be no radical
departure from the old ways OF fun.
Marcellus and Moron, the clowns, were
at their side to keep the audience gasp
ing at the intelligence of the quadrupeds
and laughing at the humors Of the
clowns. But all the animal intelligence
is not in that quartet OF pachyderms,
marvellous as they are.

tossed their red and golden dumbells
through the air. but that did not seem
nearly so remarkable as the facility
with which the fourth member
OF the team was able TO
catch them in his mouth. lie WIS n
white bull terrier. with amazing skill in
snapuing short the flight of the du .nbells
as they shot by him. Still more un-
usual was the ability of the crow TO
catch the white balls which his trainer
as well as the members OF the audience
threw toward him. With scarcely lift
of his black wings he opened his ca
pacious beak and held firmly the white
balls which came his way. He was just
as certain in stopping the pasteboard
plates which his trainer threw TO him.
The acrobats, the terrier and crow COM
posed a novel and highly accompEsh shed
quintet OF performers that disappeared
from view TO the most enthusiastic ap-
plause OF the spectators. Ferry Cor
wey made music on various things that
were never intended for the purpose,
such as numerous bells and other OBJ
jects that seemed surprising enough but
really rather ordinary when the clever
music maker brought his act TO close
by drawing melody out of rail fence
that stretched all the way across the
vast stage.

YEARS COTTON CROP
Forecast of a Drop Prom 1s,Oo0.OOt
Bales Last Year to 100000
This Year.
BOIL wEEvrL AND WEATHER
Condition the Poorest in Twenty
Years, and Change in Acreage
Never So Marked.

| WASHINGTON, July IA cotton
crop of S,4S3,OOO equivalent 500
pound bales this yea r was forecast
today by the Department of Agri-
culture, basing its estimate on the
area under cultivation June %,
which was 26,519,OO0 acres, and the
condition of the crop on that date,
which was 69.2 per cent. of nor
NAL.
The condition of the crop on May
rs this year was $50 per cent. of a
normal. The production last year
was 13,365,754 equivalent 5OO-pound
bales; the revised area in cultivation
a year ago was 37043,0OO acres, and
the condition of that crop June rs
last year was 70.7 per cent. of a nor
mali In 1910 the crop was II, 420, 1853
equivalent 50O-pound bales.
Production this year promises to
be the smallest crop OF the last quar-
ter of a century, today's forecast by
the Department of Agriculture plac-
ing it nearly five million bales
smaller than last years crop and
nearly eight million bales below the
record crop of 1914, This years
acreage is 2S,4 per cent smaller
than last years.
The acreage this year is the small
est since 1900, and never before, the
Department of Agriculture said, has
there been so great change from
one year to another as there has
been from last year to this year.
The condition of the growing crop
has not in twenty years been so low
on June rs as it was this year. All
sections of the. cotton belt have
been affected. 1t is due, according
to government experts, to an adj
versely late, wet spring and to the
presence of boil weevil in large
numbers
Owing to the unfavorable condi-
tons in April and May and to other
discouraging factors-shortage of
fertilizer and unsatisfactory price
abandonment of planted cotton
acreage has been greater than usual
east of the Mississippi river, rang
ing from 5 per cent. in North Caro-
, lima and Mississippi to as high as
10 per cent. in Georgia. West of the
Mississippi abandonment has been
slight.
