Beecham's Opera Is Given.

Unhappy Lady Beecham is being
driven out of the Duke of York's with

ternal solicitude for this work and her
determination to make go OF 1t al
most smothers the sinking feeling one
gets after two hours or more of very
bad treatment of the Bard Of Avon.
She was obliged to lease the theater
outright for the London production and
now no theater will even give her q
lease. She says II Is either buy or
close and she is not quite up to buying
theater.
But between these simple things and
the high comedy of Mr.. Galsworthy and

ST, PATRICK'S
 DANCE EVENT
 FOR C0RDOVA

St. Patrick's Day has come again, to gladden. everybody.
 A grand community dance in the Empress cabaret tonight will be the chief social event of the occasion. It will be given under auspices of the Ladies' Altar Society of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. The Young Ladies' Sodality will assist the entertain ment committee in general manage ment.
 The plans for the joyous occas- ion were made by Mesdames Ross woy, O'Neill, Scheffler, Leach, De- Leo and Galen, cooperating with Messers. John Miller, James Clark, and John Terrell.
 The community regret for the ab- sence of the Rev. Father William McMillan of St. Joseph's Church, now at Valdez, is generally expressed. Duties required his presence in the neighbor city.
 The festivities will begin about 9:30 and the dancing at 10 o'clock. It will not be a dress affair, and every one is invited to take part in the good old-fashioned community ball, the object being unalloyed fun and gaiety.
 Alaskan Punch, made by Mrs. Ross- way, will be served and Irish Lib erty Caps will be distributed. The Grab Bags will be especially de- sirable this time, for each contains treasure made by hand by the ladies and girls expressly for the occasion.
 The St. Patrick's Day dance two years ago, while it was brilliant success, will be surpassed this time, it is confidently predicted.

 The ball was hit from a tee slightly above the green, 335 yards away. It pitched on the ground, which was frost bound, and ran over the green 80 yards beyond the hole Dennis achievement is considered one of the greatest re- corded.
 James Braid, a leading English professional, has driven a ball on frost-bound ground at Walton Health a distance of 395 yards, and declares that to be his longest drive. H. H. Horne, another British professional, noted for long distance driving, has recorded a distance of 3S8 yards at North Berwick.

WEEKLY COTTON
REVIEW


NEW YORK, March s1.-The cotton
market has shown a generally steady
or firm undertone since the final eve
ning-up OF hte March position. BUSH
ness has not become active OF general
but there have been reports of q. bet
ter export demand in the south, while
there has been trade buying to fix
prices around the ring here, covering
py near month shorts, and scatter
ing demand for early new crop posi-
tons. The latter was promoted by
continued complaints of unfayorable
weather in the south particularly in
eastern belt sections where further
rains have caused additional delays in
farm work, while the demand from
May shorts has been ACCOMPANIED by
reports that $4,000 bales of the local
certified stock were to be exported
and feeling here that prices here had
worked off enough to check further
shipments from the belt.
Buying on these features however
has been restricted by continued com
plants of poor demand in the do
mestio market for cotton goods, con-
tinued labor troubles in the New Eng
land mills, and the threat of a coal
strike. with today's market showing
reactions Of several points from the
best under realizing. Larger spot sales
have been reported in the south. but
according to local spot brokers they
have been chiefly the reflection OF an
improved export demand with domes-
tic mills showing little or no interest.
There has also been q feeling in
some quarters that the larger bust
ness indicated that prices had worked
high enough to bring out freer offer
ings OF spot cotton and some southern
hedge selling was reported as the
market worked above the 1S-cent levA
for May contracts and UP to IT cents
for December during todey's early
trading. This probably promoted a
disposition to take profits on recent
purchases particularly in view of
more favorable eastern belt forecast.
Many traders feel that a change of
weather conditions in the south ia now
overdue and In some quarters it is
believed that a few days of favorable
weather would bring a report of re-
newed progress with planting or other
farm work. Practically all reports re-
ceived still indicate prospects for in
creased acreage and 1t is rumored that
one Of the more prominent statistical
bureaus has preliminary returns point
ing to an average increase of 10 per
cent as compared with last years
